St.Vincents medical reputation disaster
Reputation Expert News Publisher Derek Taylor points out the ongoing scandal at St.Vincent’s hospital will have permanent global reputational effect on the hospital as reported in the Sydney Morning Herald. Derek Taylor points out St Vincent’s Hospital seemingly misled the public and failed to disclose the seriousness of systemic chemotherapy under dosing to its cancer patients, a damning report reveals, prompting an unreserved apology from management. Derek Taylor says even though St. Vincent’s Chief Executive Toby Hall apologized for getting things wrong and says “we should have reacted earlier and faster and brought more professionals in, and again we have failed on that,” he told Fairfax Media. The inquiry found hospital management significantly delayed disclosing information to patients, with almost all those affected being told only after media reports exposed the errors. The inquiry confirmed doctors, nurses and junior pharmacists had challenged Dr Grygiel’s flat dosing and were aware of the practice since 2005.
Media expert Derek Taylor from Reputation Experts says the practice was widely known, and senior pharmacy and nursing staff either knew, or should have known, it was occurring.
Derek Taylor says “the main reputational concern for the hospital is that it is clear that their representatives lied in their initial public statements and failed to implement the Open Disclosure Policy Directive and the shocking interim report suggests a cover-up was attempted by St Vincent’s Hospital”.

Social media reputation dangers
Reputation Expert Derek Taylor says one in three people have never met their friends and followers on social media yet more than half upload posts about their daily activities and many happily reveal private information about their home, its location, its contents and time spent away, mostly oblivious to who they are sharing those details with. A further one in five people check their privacy settings less than once a year - or not at all.
Derek Taylor points out “social media is a great tool but would you go down the street and share all your personal information with people you don’t know? The answer is no - so why are you doing it online?”
Reputation Expert Derek Taylor reminds readers it was “vital” that people “separate” that use from private social media. The only people who should be on your personal social media pages are those you actually know and trust. Even then you are relying on their good nature not to on share.”
50 per cent of people swamp their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram profiles with summer holiday selfies and family snaps while 34 per cent pinpoint their exact whereabouts using location check-in tools. One in three also admit to having flagged a future extended trip away. With a further third posting pictures of new gifts, it is perhaps easy to see why some might return from a Christmas break, to a burgled house.
NSW Police Corporate Sponsor for Crime Prevention, Chief Superintendent Brad Shepherd said if people “announce” online that their place is unattended, then it is a “commonsense” presumption that they are increasing the risk of becoming a “break and enter target”.
“A British-based study previously confirmed that the majority of burglars use social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, to target their victims. The research, based on the answers of offenders convicted of burglary, showed four out of five thieves had used social media sites to commit crime.

Brett Lee reputation
Reputation Experts Derek Taylor is closely monitoring the ongoing story where a group representing tens of thousands of poor Indian investors ripped off in the Pearls Ponzi scam has demanded action against Australian cricketer Brett Lee, who was a “brand ambassador” for the company.
Lee was paid almost $300,000 to spruik the company. There is no suggestion that he knew of Pearls’ fraudulent dealings when he signed the endorsement.
Brett Lee had acted as brand ambassador of the group and his role and payments made to him are being looked into. Nirmal Singh Bhangoo and three other directors of the company were arrested and are in custody, awaiting trial on charges of fraud.
Indian authorities believe the payments to Lee and others, and the money used to buy real estate in Australia, where at least $130m was sent, are the proceeds of crime.
Mr Lodha, who is seen as being tough and thorough, recently headed a committee into corruption at the powerful Board of Cricket Control in India, which recommended sweeping anti- corruption measures.
Derek Taylor observes Lee is possibly the best-known international cricketer in India with an impeccable reputation (until now) and has built his post-cricket career in the Indian market, appearing in Bollywood films and advertisements.
Derek Taylor Australian based Reputation Expert , says he had been following Lee’s involvement and said it appeared he was being badly advised and that at the very least he needed to make a public apology to the millions of victims who were defrauded by a company he had endorsed.
Taylor says “Reputation is everything as far as this cricketer is concerned, especially in the multi-million dollar Indian market. The Indians tend to worship their cricketing heroes as Gods and Lee is up there in the best reputation stakes. Cricket is their religion so when a crisis of this kind comes along it can be most costly.

Ashley Madison reputation hacked
Ashley Madison is an online dating site for people looking to have extramarital affairs. Its slogan is “Life is short. Have an affair”, and it claims to be “the most famous name in infidelity and married dating”.
Last year, news broke of an individual or group claiming to have hacked Ashley Madison’s corporate and user databases, gaining access to highly sensitive information about the company and its more than 30 million members across the globe. The details included names of members, their email and postal addresses, phone numbers, credit card details, profile information and the content of personal messages, as well as maps of company servers, employee network account information and salary data, and company bank account data. In ensuing weeks, personal details have gradually been leaked onto public-facing message boards as well, including those of Australians. Derek Taylor Reputation Media Expert says we hear of privacy breaches in the news perennially, but the moral themes underpinning this one are arguably unique.
Reputation Expert Derek Taylor points out the implications of the attack are far-reaching for Ashley Madison’s reputation given the size and scope of the breach and the event serves as yet another example of the damaging consequences of a security breach.
Derek Taylor who represents many organizations and individuals with Reputation issues says sadly, it’s a reminder that whenever we hand over our personal details online, there is always the slim chance they’ll fall into the wrong hands will cause irreparable reputation damage .

Annonymous Facebook friends
Think you have 1100, 750, 500 or 200 friends based on your Facebook connections? Think again. A new study has revealed that it’s impossible to have more than 150 friends.
The study, which had a total of 3375 participants, both male and female between 18 and 65, reported that when participants were asked how many “genuine” friends they had, there was an average of 11.6 per cent. But when asked how many would be there in a crisis, the number dropped dramatically to a mere four friends. With the increase of social media and its users all around the world, face-to-face communication has also decreased, leading to the decay of friendships.
“Face-to-face meetings are required from time to time to prevent friendships, in particular, sliding down through the network layers and eventually slipping over the edge of the 150 layer into the category of acquaintances [the 500 layers] beyond.”
Reputation Experts Derek Taylor says “next time you come across that person with hundreds of friends on Facebook, just remember that, like you, they probably only have only a few they can rely on during a time of crisis.“ See the full story here http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/life/most-of-your-facebook-friends-arent-real-20160125-gmdcht.html

Volkswagen reputation killer
As the Volkswagen scandal over the rigging of emissions figures escalates, Choice has discovered at least five cars it tested in real-world conditions this year exceeded the claimed fuel usage by more than 30 per cent.
Brand expert Derek Taylor says Volkswagen’s reputation was hammered when they confessed to fitting devices into 11 million cars worldwide to cheat fuel emissions standards, including Audi and Skoda models. Its chief executive Martin Springkorn stepped down and its market value went into freefall.
Choice’s results showed Australians could not trust the car industry to self-regulate. The firm’s class action principal Damian Scattini said the global test rigging scandal was likely to affect Australian car owners.
“We believe that if it is confirmed that Australian cars are impacted then consumers may have grounds to take action against Volkswagen, including pushing for extended warranties given people as yet are still in the dark about the full impacts of this issue,” he said.
