Steve established TAVO Advisory (TAVO) to provide senior, discreet and independent counsel that helps corporate leaders in their efforts to prioritise, earn and protect the reputations that matter. Steve’s advisory work centres on support for Boards, CEOs, and business leaders including heads of Communication.
TAVO is underpinned by a deep commitment to building trusting relationships; by a dedication to going above and beyond to produce the right outcomes; and by a focus on discretion and confidentiality at all times.
Under the TAVO brand, Steve helps clients in the following areas:
An organisation has more than one reputation and not all of its reputations are equal at any particular point in time. TAVO helps clients to better understand what reputations matter to them most and how to engage their stakeholders/use their networks to earn their desired reputations to best effect.
Counsel that helps organisations to be prepared ahead of time through scenario planning and the development of contingency plans against an array of reputation risks. TAVO also has extensive experience in the management of real time issues that represent a threat to the ability of the organisation to operate in an optimal fashion. These include cyber security threats, litigation, change management initiatives, geopolitics, among others.
TAVO leverages an extensive network of relationships with journalists to generate media coverage that is accurate, positive and that supports the wide reputation building goals of the client. In practice, this means giving clients ideas and opportunities that enable engagement with relevant journalists in order to deliver valued results.
Transactions of any note are fraught with reputational risk. TAVO advises on a range of transactions, including M&A, IPOs, new partnerships, among others – in order to deliver a positive outcome. A source of senior communications advice for organisations navigating the complexities transactions pose – in the lead up to an announcement, for the announcement itself and in the phase after the announcement is made.
A fundamental challenge for many organisations is the ability to produce narratives that coherently articulate a point of view on a particular subject. Based on extensive experience writing for Chairs, CEOs, and other senior leaders, TAVO provides a copywriting service for both written and verbal communications, including keynote speeches, opinion editorials, Annual Reports, ESG Reports and media materials.
Training and workshops designed to further strengthen the Communications function of companies. Subject matter includes ESG communications, reputation risk management, CEO profiling, employee communications, transaction communications and measuring impact.
