Editor's Notes
The map in the top right is the internet!
Organisations are more interconnected than ever before, and today, risk can come from anywhere. At the same time, big data has exploded, making these connections visible to all and clarity harder to find for business leaders. Manual processes are no longer fit for purpose for monitoring an organisation’s internal and external risk environment.
Supply chains, routes to market and management teams are more dispersed than ever before. this has created complex spiderwebs of connections around the world that join up consumers and businesses. Any one of these tiny webs can have a disproportionate impact on a business and its ability to operate.
While consumers and organisational structures have developed communication tools that work in this complexity, risk hasn't caught up and organisations are getting stung as a result.
Risk, data and analytics are changing, and organisations can’t afford to get left behind. The only way to stay ahead is to gather and analyse data at scale and in real time, in order avoid surprises and act fast.
At the same time, we’re seeing exponential growth in big data The time is coming when we will have collectively produced as much data as stars in the universe. At its current pace, our digital universe is doubling every 2 years and by 2020, some 60% of data is expected to have come from emerging economies.
80% of that data is unstructured, by which we mean it isn’t organised in a conventional database anywhere – the conversations happening about you, without you. And that unstructured data offers a huge amount of untapped intelligence just waiting to be heard.
This adds fragmentation to an already fragmented landscape
All assets in an enterprise; from the Corporate Brand, to the Product set, Operating Companies, Franchises, Supply Chain who make and run the products that make up the Company value – all have reputation and risk profiles in the public domain. Each of these profiles can contribute or detract to the overall company Brand and perceived value of the Company.
Reputation and risk profiles are not calculated in a vaccuum – your company performance is assessed in the round with your competitors’ reputation and risk profile – are you experiencing an industry issue, or is this issue particular to you?
Corporate risk has exploded and this is evident in headlines everyday – from slavery in supply chains and public outrage to scandals, to regulatory crackdowns and market volatility. And each time it seems amazing these huge companies didn’t see it coming.
But risk has fundamentally changed and it’s no longer something to be dealt with at arms length. Complex supply chains and a diverse and connected customer base means news travels fast and corporations can be the last to know.
No more risk ‘crying-wolf’ across the organisation because everyone has access to an analytics system – centralise and calibrate risk for strategic decision making.
Use the system as a poll of poll to pulse for reputation perception – align with primary surveys and save money on expensive surveying.
Unleash the power of public data from PR and bring into strategy and risk management
Have internal blogs, transcripts, reports and surveys – analyse them too.
Through our technology we connect the identification, analysis and reporting of risk throughout the organisation across thousands of assets.
We increase the ability for the organisation to make informed decisions on what constitutes risk by centralising risk management into one platform
Polecat works with Forbes 2000 companies – we understand corporate requirements for assessing and reporting risk profiles through to reputation management
We work with regulatory bodies and external audit firms (like KPMG)
One Platform = Calibrated Risk
For instance, Unilever’s CMO Keith Weed made a big bet and ensured that all the 1,000s of Unilever products bore the Unilever brand – unequivocally connected to the corporate brand. The brand connection and value for Unilever is around Sustainable Values and Performance. Polecat can, in real-time track the contribution or detraction to the corporate brand of any of their products. Polecat can also track the same on all Unilever supply chain – these are the companies who make the products and they are bound by the same brand promise that marks the product set – Sustainability.
