Brand-Centered Inventory™

Brand-Centered Sustainability™ – A strategic, results-oriented approach for accountable, attuned leadership development and healthy organizational growth.


WHAT IS The Brand Centered Inventory™ Diagnostic Tool?

This online diagnostic tool helps businesses and nonprofits understand how well their Brand/ DNA is integrated into their organizations and is viewed by all of the organization’s stakeholders. It can be an incredibly valuable tool to understand your organization and to understand how your Brand is perceived by all of your stakeholders. More info is available below. This tool & report offers direction and guidance for both building upon current strengths, and identifying potentially crippling gaps that affect the long-term sustainability of a business unit or entire organization. A 60 – 90 minute phone debriefing session is also included to review main issues or interests from report. In short, it can deliver the following:

  • A picture of the current internal communication/brand culture from “leader to line.”
  • A snap-shot of current external stakeholders’ brand perceptions from – the board, selected vendors and community supporters, as well as a limited scope view of clients/customers’ perception of the brand culture.
  • A baseline understanding of what is working in the cultural makeup of the organization’s employee landscape.
  • A baseline understanding of the gaps that need to be addressed to effectively create a sustainable brand-centered culture system-wide. Increased engagement around focused areas needing development and improvement.

 

The Brand Centered Inventory™ measures the capacity to build and maintain a sustainable business through a brand-centered culture. It helps a leadership team to analyze the brand culture capacity – the current strength and effectiveness of an organization’s employees, board members, volunteers and other close stakeholders to lead through the brand in a sustainable way. Leading through the brand in an attuned, accountable manner is about successfully connecting people, actions, behaviors and goals with the core purpose – the mission of the company or organization.

What is The Brand Centered Inventory Experience used for? Business Units and Organizations can use the results of the diagnostic tool, strategic coaching sessions  & facilitation meetings to:

  • Examine strategic communication successes and failures

One recent participating organization (Impact Young Adults) went through the BCI™ – formerly the BLI – and committed to a revised strategic plan afterwards. Having recently implemented an action item from that plan, the President said,

“We wanted to share this win with you because we couldn’t have gotten here without your support and direction. Thank you, thank you, thank you! “
