The relationship between an organisation's culture and its 'corporate brand' can be the subject of much analysis and debate. |
What is certain however is that both corporate culture and brand need to be in synch for sustained, long-term succss: no matter how strong its brand is in marketing terms. |
|
|
an organisation's actual performance and behaviour ... |
|
and people's experience of the organisation, its products and services |
are what count most in the long run.
|
|
|
corporate culture, branding and identity are a mix of:
|
values and aspirations
|
plus performance and behaviour
|
plus reputation & how you are perceived
|
- all of which must be right for the marketplace & today's expectations
|
and be consistent with business strategy and objectives
|
values
aspirations
mission
guiding principles
"our way of doing things"
|
performance
behaviour
relationships/ partnerships
communications
HR/people policies
organisation/ management processes
|
reputation
perceptions
experience of dealing with the company
|
marketplace
expectations
|
business strategy and objectives
|
