WILLIS TOWERS WATSON REPUTATIONAL CRISIS INSURANCE SOLUTION: POWERED BY POLECAT

get in touch



REPUTATIONAL CRISIS INSURANCE

Reputational risk is one of the most dynamic and systemic risks facing modern
companies. Greater public and shareholder scrutiny with regards to a board’s
fulfilment of fiduciary duties has resulted in greater pressure on companies to
prepare for and mitigate against reputational crises.

In response to this growing problem and in response to the fact that intangible
assets comprise an ever-higher proportion of total enterprise value, Polecat is
proud to partner with Willis Towers Watson, a leading global advisory, broking
and solutions company in developing a new suite of insurance products led by the
Reputational Crisis Insurance solution.

The Reputation Crisis Insurance solution is an innovative risk management tool,
incorporating Polecat's cutting-edge technology to drive proactive risk
management and responsive crisis management insurance covering critical costs to
businesses resulting from negative impact to their corporate reputation. 

Also working with Liberty Specialty Markets, a leading global insurance company
with an exceptional financial rating, we are helping RCI clients to
comprehensively mitigate and transfer this potentially huge reputational risk
threat.




WHAT IS REPUTATIONAL RISK?

Reputation is a broad subject that has a different meaning to different people.
As a major intangible asset, reputation has grown to comprise a significant
proportion of many companies' entire market capitalisation. Reputational risk is
the potential loss to this financial capital, social capital and/or market share
resulting from damage to a firm's reputation, measured predominantly in lost
revenue, increased operating, capital or regulatory costs, or destruction of
shareholder value.

The forces that affect reputation have multiplied over the past decade with the
pace of change seemingly increasing by the minute.

Changing demographics, falling public trust, rising state and non-state
manipulation of public opinion and the exponential rise in both the quality and
quantity of data are all factors driving a new reputational landscape for the
companies to navigate.

From disease outbreaks, employee or customer abuse to terrorist incidents, the
risk factors affecting reputation and brand resilience are growing, as is
pressure on companies' risk management and executive functions to adequately
protect their businesses.




CRITICAL REPUTATION RISK INTELLIGENCE

Polecat’s AI-enabled solutions interrogate the universe of unstructured data –
everything published online and publicly available on social media – to enable
companies to anticipate and manage potential and emerging risks and
opportunities for their reputation.

Our RepVault solution enables RCI customers to intuitively see their reputation
landscape of issues/topics, stakeholders and peer performance on-demand and in
real-time, putting corporate reputation at the heart of the strategic decision
making process.

 * Flexible topic groupings let customers map and interrogate their landscape
   according to precise reputation drivers
 * Understand how the corporate brand is viewed across ESG, Reputation or Risk
   lenses to uncover opportunities and perils that define business performance
   today
 * Pinpoint the key external stakeholders (eg. NGOs, Activist Investors, Think
   Tanks etc) involved in conversation around insured perils and gain perception
   of the corporate brand across these groups
 * Gain foresight around the issues developing on the horizon, so you can plan
   your response now
 * Improve the speed and efficiency on delivery of insight around changing
   trends




Company Executives frequently articulate how hard it can be to identify and
manage reputation-harming events, with many saying that they are taking positive
action to invest in products and services that can help them to understand the
situation and scan the horizon for threats. This is exactly what Polecat is
providing to a large range of blue chip organisations. 

Polecat's partnership with Willis Towers Watson and Liberty Speciality
Markets allows us to bring critical reputational intelligence to new markets in
a truly innovative way, delivering the ability for companies to mitigate and
protect the bottom-line through the actionable insights that corporate
reputation professionals need to make key decisions.

Polecat solutions support many of the world’s largest and most high-profile
global businesses, across multiple sectors. Our products and services allow you
to:

 * Put corporate reputation at the heart of strategic decision-making processes
 * Reduce over-reliance on budget heavy, expensive consulting services
 * Monitor reputation campaigns that directly impact the corporate brand
 * Gain foresight around issues happening on the horizon, so you can plan your
   response now
 * Improve the speed and efficiency on delivery of insight around changing
   trends
 * Gain perceptions of the corporate brand across key stakeholder groups: NGOs,
   politicians, activist investors etc.


COMMENTS


JAMES LAWN

CO-CEO, POLECAT INTELLIGENCE

"We’re delighted Willis Towers Watson and Liberty Mutual have chosen us to be at
the heart of the RCI product. Reputation management is about valuing properties
that were previously intangible - trust, goodwill and licence to operate in the
courts of public opinion as well as law.

Polecat technology looks at the universe of global discourse to deliver
real-time intelligence and impact metrics on previously intangible dimensions of
corporate reputation.

We are proud to be the partner of choice for many of the world’s leading
companies when it comes to actionable intelligence and data, and we look forward
to serving and strengthening the reputations of future RCI policy holders"




GARRET GAUGHAN

HEAD OF GLOBAL MARKETS P&C HUB, WILLIS TOWERS WATSON

“Successful and long-lasting modernisation for the insurance industry will be
characterised by insurers and brokers providing proactive, rather than reactive,
risk management solutions that integrate new and exciting technology
capabilities alongside well-adapted but still evolving insurance risk transfer
mechanisms. As part of the paradigm shift required to ensure the continued value
and relevance of the insurance industry to customers in the shadow of a wave of
emerging risks, Polecat’s technology may prove to be revolutionary for company
risk, public relations and executive functions’ understanding of the
reputational data ecosystem and their place in the public’s eyes. Long presumed
the territory of science-fiction, but now very much ‘science-fact’, the
capabilities Polecat has developed can help companies navigate the stormy waters
of reputation in the modern world, scanning open-source data for threats on the
horizon and helping companies to engage with post-crisis communications in the
most effective manner possible: where, how and when the conversation is actually
taking place.”

HEAD OF UNDERWRITING, SPECIALTY BINDERS, LIBERTY SPECIALTY MARKETS

“Clients’ increasing exposure to both traditional media and social media has led
to a rise in reputational losses globally. Most Reputational products in the
market currently only respond to the crisis communication fees incurred
following a reputational crisis event. 

This new product is one of the few that provides coverage for the loss of an
organisation’s gross profit following such an event- providing financial
protection and also giving clients the tools they need to protect their
reputation. The ability to act quickly and transparently can have a hugely
positive impact on a crisis outcome.”
