In October, to celebrate the two year anniversary since the publication of ‘THE 31 PRACTICES – release the power of your organization’s VALUES every day’, there is a competition to win a copy of the book.
All you have to do is to consider this: If your organization was a musical artist or group of musicians, what group would it currently be? What would your music and your lyrics be like? How would the members look and behave? How would they interact with each other and the fans? And, perhaps more importantly, what group would you like to be in future? And why?
Time after time, this simple use of metaphor helps people think about the topic of values more creatively, feel less like they are being critical, and to identify issues and areas for improvement more easily.
The competition runs from 1-31 October and the three most interesting, creative responses will receive a copy of the book. Winners will be announced in early November. Responses (in English) to alan@servicebrandglobal.com
The 31 Practices on Amazon
“In our super-connected world, organizations’ brands and reputations are shaped to a far greater extent by the personal experience of their employees and customers. We already know that 70% of customers’ brand perception is determined by their experience with the organization’s employees and 41% of customers are loyal due to employee attitude. Authenticity from the tip to the root is the new holy grail for organizations. This book shows how an organization s values and brand can be translated into the daily practices and behaviour of their employees, drawing a golden thread from the boardroom to the front line customer experience. The 31Practices method weaves together principles and practices from psychology, sociology, philosophy, neuroscience, leadership and business to significantly enhance customer and employee satisfaction and loyalty. It has been successfully adopted by large and small companies, across sectors from around the world.”
