“Working with Stephen and his team on the Reputation Assessor was a pleasure. The detailed reporting and way in which it was collated, presented and explained was a true insight of excellent proportions. It will help us understand our community’s thinking and how we can orientate ourselves to align with our vision, mission and values. Thank you The 5Rs Partnership!”
“This is an excellent article that resonates with my thoughts before and post Covid world. You have articulated areas where schools must have action plans provided that they are serious. I am glad that you forwarded the article to me for me to read and I now have a better grip of the word ‘reputation’. Often it is linked with marketing and most people are confused. Thank you.”
“Often it’s hard to really know the reputation of a school by looking inside from the inside. Stephen Holmes and the team at The 5Rs Partnership have provided Aoba-Japan International School with a validated objective assessment of our reputation. Their assessment is valuable to us because it informs, affirms and confronts our thinking and planning.”
“Stephen, I recently heard you speak about reputation management at an ISNZ event and came away with so many thoughts and ideas!”
“I do hope I can participate at another time in the Reputation Management course and learn from Stephen – he is one of the best.”
“Thanks a lot! The Reputation Management course was super interesting!”
“I enjoyed the Reputation Management course very much and could benefit from a number of suggestions that you gave us.”
“Stephen, I am thoroughly enjoying the Reputation Management course.”
“Reputation matters. With disruptions from COVID-19 accelerating changes in education worldwide, especially in a competitive market for international schools like Shanghai, reputation and managing it effectively matters more than ever. Stephen Holmes’ thought-provoking course on Reputation Management was an incredibly valuable experience for us as a school — for academic and school leaders as well as team members working on marketing, admissions, communications, parent and alumni relations, and institutional advancement. It forced us all to take a step back from our often siloed thinking and look critically at our actual reputation and how we can cultivate and actively nurture this reputation with staff, students, parents and the community writ large and communicate it more effectively. It is also helping spark important conversations and strengthen connection with other schools within our Yew Chung Educational Foundation group, helping us contextualize and better leverage our reputation through the YCYW family of schools. Already, we are seeing concepts, questions, and data explored in the course driving initiatives, promoting community engagement and framing discussions in terms of our strategic priorities moving forward. We are excited about engaging Stephen Holmes and his 5R’s team to help us gather and analyse data through his Reputation Assessor tool so that we can make more informed data-driven strategic decisions to manage our school’s reputation.”
“Thank you so much for your webinar today – It was extremely informative and had some fantastic take away’s for teams to do post webinar.”
