| Living your organisational and brand values
Organisational and brand values are at the heart of businesses;
they are what makes the business unique in the marketplace.
It is not surprising then that when we think of great organisations
we tend to think of the way their people act consistently in
'living their brand'. As customers we want (and expect) a consistent
product and service from the brands we buy. Why is it we aspire
or choose to fly Virgin Atlantic Upper Class, stay at the Mandarin
Oriental or buy our sandwiches from Pret A Manger? Because
we get a consistent, high standard of service and product delivery.
But, as has been said many times, a product can be copied but
a service cannot, and for many of us that is where our real
point of sustainable competitive advantage comes from.
