PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT
Every organization has a corporate image, whether it wants one or not. When properly designed and managed, the corporate image will accurately reflect the level of the organization's commitment to quality, excellence and relationships with its various constituents - including current and potential customers, employees and future staff, competitors, partners, governing bodies, and the general public at large.
Corporate image management is a critical concern for every organization, deserving the same attention and commitment by senior management as any other vital issue. This is perhaps even truer for new and medium-sized businesses that must grapple for customer attention and the recruitment of financial and human resources without the aid of large communications budgets.
The Mentor Capitalist(TMC) describes the discipline which will be the key to successful marketing of the company towards all the current and future stake holders including current and potential customers, employees and future staff, competitors, partners, governing bodies, and the general public at large well into the next century.
Everything an organisation does, and does not do, affects the perception of that organisation and its performance, products, and services. These perceptions affect its ability to recruit the financial resources, people and partnerships it needs to attain its goals and objectives. This premise has two predominant concerns for companies entering the 21st Century:
An understanding that the corporate image is a major strategic concern that can have a direct impact on the level of success the organisation achieves through its other marketing and management efforts, and an understanding that a coherent corporate image needs to be integrated into the organisation at all levels.
Corporate image management focuses on the very heart and soul of the organisation, even to the extent of evaluating why the organisation exists and determining the organisation's key purposes. It represents one of the highest levels of functional control of the organisation.
The Mentor Capitalist (TMC), understand this aspect thoroughly well in enhancing the value of the organisation and has great experience, tools, network and mechanism by which company can travel towards desired image level in achieving overall objectives.
