The New Era of Organizational Values
by Shel Holtz
The criteria for doing business with, investing in, and working for a company have changed. Innovation, price, quality, a good customer experience, rock-solid marketing, and a strong employer brand remain the price of admission for any company. Among all the organizations in your sector that embrace those qualities, customers, investors, and employees still have to make a choice. Given this choice, companies that live their values will win. And they will win big.
We are entering a new economy in which what a business stands for is a deciding factor for stakeholders. Many consumers will actually pay more for products and services from companies who demonstrate their commitment to their beliefs.

Create a Purposeful, Positive, Productive Work Culture with an Organizational Constitution
by S. Chris Edwards
Why don’t leaders simply “fix” their unhealthy work cultures? Because they’ve never been asked to do that. Most don’t know how to do that. They’ve never experienced a successful culture change, much less led one.
The good news is that executives agree that culture matters. Eighty percent of executives rated the employee experience, including organizational culture, engagement, and the employee brand proposition, as very important or important. And only 22 percent believe their companies are excellent at building a positive employee experience.
