		<title>Tortuous times for Telecom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over-promising and under-delivering is one of the biggest reputation-damagers there is.
If the breach of promise is relatively minor, most of us will forgive an organisation and give it a second, or even third, chance to deliver and meet our expectations.
However, when promises continue to be broken, and serious doubts are raised about a company&#8217;s ability [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reputationz&#8217; predictions for 2010 and beyond</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New Year resolutions happen every year, but predictions generally only occur at the turn of a decade. Knowing what might happen before it actually occurs would certainly be handy.
If we could predict what might happen it would certainly give us a competitive edge.  We could be &#8216;one-step-ahead-of-the-game&#8217;, give us an opportunity to maximise every opportunity [...]]]></description>

		<title>Telco promises in the spotlight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two stories caught my eye this week regarding companies making claims they apparently haven’t been able to keep.
The first is Telecom who’s reached a settlement with the Commerce Commission following its admission it misled around 130,000 broadband customers regarding pricing plans. Apparently it overcharged customers more than $9.5 million between 1999 and 2006 when dial-up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building Trust in the New Economy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2009 was the year the rules changed. The ‘who cares?’ attitude that seemed to dominate so many of our businesses, and personal interactions, up until then finally faced a reality check.  Suddenly, large numbers of us started to care.
