The survey found that a company's reputation and brand is the number one attribute that drives interest from job seekers. Additionally, many respondents dream of mixing work and play, and being their own boss. However, only 27% of people reported currently working for their Dream Employer.

The best corporate legacies do not simply occur by chance. They are created by the bold and driven by the visionary. Corporate legacies shine the brightest when they transcend a single product, service or industry.
Take Apple. When the corporate giant combined a phone, a music player and the internet to make the iPhone, Steve Jobs and co. not only created a new future for themselves; they also expanded the idea of what a tech company could be and in what industries it could play. They rewrote the boundaries of what is possible. That is a true legacy.
“Without the iPhone revolution, it is hard to imagine a technology company entering the transport industry or designing a device that can steer cars around while receiving and transmitting streams of data,” John Gapper at The Financial Times wrote earlier this year.
But the sheen of a great legacy can disappear quickly if major missteps are made, drama drives headlines or executive competency is questioned. We have seen several recent examples of this, including HSBC, Wells Fargo and United Airlines. And the risk
of a legacy being tarnished is higher in today’s world of constant connection, where good news travels fast but bad news travels faster.
Samsung is another prime example. For years, the company’s legacy has been built on quality and innovation, but that legacy is in jeopardy following last year’s debacle with the Galaxy Note 7. According to the Reputation Quotient Ratings report by The Harris Poll, in 2015 Samsung was the third most-respected company among U.S. consumers. In the 2017 poll, its ranking fell more than 40 points. For better or worse, corporate legacies are not stagnant—they shift over time with every move leaders make. You will always have an impact.
This issue is full of stories from executives about how they plan to build legacies at their companies. I hope they inspire you to create your own.
The document discusses employer branding and attracting quality talent. It defines what an employer brand is and explains that it expresses what makes a company unique as an employer. It also notes that an employer brand is the reason people join and stay at an organization, and the link between employee satisfaction, productivity, and customer satisfaction. The document then provides examples of companies that need strong employer brands and discusses how employer brands can be used to attract quality talent through different communication channels like websites and social media. It emphasizes the financial benefits of having a strong employer brand through improved retention and shareholder returns. The document concludes with a case study of how Philips developed its "Touch Lives Every Day" employer brand to improve its perception in the labor market
ORDINARY PERFORMANCE IS A LOSING PROPOSITION
To win the future, leaders in today’s organizations must be bold. Whether the goal is to increase efficiencies, transform a business model, set a new strategic direction, bring an innovative product to market or drive culture change, to truly break through to be transformational leaders we must reject the status quo. We must stretch to imagine new and aggressive— even uncomfortable—outcomes, and act differently to execute on what we envision. And in the end, we must produce remarkable results.
At Insigniam, our focus has always been to move beyond the ordinary and achieve the remarkable. It’s in our DNA and our name. Insigniam derives from the Latin word “insignia,” meaning “marked as remarkable.” We act to help enterprises create remarkable performance.
These days, so-called unicorns like Uber, Airbnb and Snapchat are often mistakenly lauded as remarkable achievements. But let’s not be confused
by billion-dollar valuations. They signify potential that doesn’t necessarily translate into lasting value and results. Just ask Evernote, Dropbox and Theranos, three embattled unicorns grappling with issues like high executive turnover or questions about the true value of their respective technologies. And then there are Box, Fitbit and Square, unicorns that went public only to generate less-than-stellar results.
For true examples of remarkable results, we need to consider executives like Darren Childs of UKTV. After becoming CEO of the London-based broadcasting company, Childs rejected the status quo and pivoted the network’s strategy to focus on producing original and online content. The ROI? UKTV is one of the most-watched commercial broadcasters in the United Kingdom. Profits and revenues are now nearly three times greater than when he started. Remarkable indeed.
Childs saw his industry rapidly changing and decided to act before it was too late. As volatility becomes the new normal across much of the economy, will you be able to turn opportunities others can’t see into remarkable results? I know this much: Bold, unorthodox leadership is the only way to transform the status quo into something extraordinary.

"Built to last" Business Classics Presentation by Mr.James C.Collins & Mr.Jer...Aegis Global Academy
The document provides an overview of the book "Built to Last" which studies 18 visionary companies and their practices. It examines what makes these companies successful over long periods of time, contrasting them with comparison companies. Some of the key findings include that visionary companies are "clock builders rather than time tellers", emphasizing core values and progressive change. They also establish "Big Hairy Audacious Goals" and cultivate cult-like cultures focused on experimentation and developing future leadership from within.
You Have a Transformation Strategy, but is Your Organization Part of it?
I’m sure you’ve heard of gorilla glass. It’s probably on the front of your smartphone, and its strength has saved you from a broken phone more than once.
But it’s not just you and your smartphone that gorilla glass has saved. It also saved Corning Inc.The breakthrough product is the result of a cultural transformation at the specialty glass and ceramics maker.
For Peter Volanakis, Corning’s former COO, saving Corning was all about having the right culture in place. It was a culture that allowed a product like gorilla glass to lose money for 14 years before it found its way onto more than 100 million mobile devices. Inside this issue of Insigniam Quarterly, he shares the value of a company’s culture in transformative environments and offers his three keys to transforming culture.
While the Corning story is definitely instructional and inspirational, it’s far from unique. In our decades as international consultants, we’ve seen it time and time again. A company wants a breakthrough transformation. It wants to grow, but it can’t. Its culture is holding it back.
Throughout this issue, we talk about transformations, both big and small. From Delta Airlines buying its own oil refinery to control fuel costs to the keys to a successful merger. And at the center of each of these transformations is culture. Culture is the very core of how the people in an organization think, perceive opportunities, and behave, and it either supports a transformation initiative or culture stifles it.
As the saying goes, “Culture eats strategy for lunch.” It doesn’t matter how well thought out your plans are, if all the elements of your people are not on the same page with your strategic needs, then your initiative will be for naught.
Consider the company featured on our cover, Danone. For the French food products multinational, the culture change included a whole new leadership approach, adapting its culture to emerging markets and listening to its customers. Listening not in the cliché way that we all say we listen to customers. Danone is actually bringing them into the R and D process.
That was a bold step, but it was necessary if Danone wanted to be a global player. It’s time for a hard look at where you want to be and to ask yourself if it’s your corporate culture that’s preventing your breakthrough transformation from taking
flight.

Procter & Gamble is a global consumer goods company with many household brands. It has three units: household care, beauty/grooming, and health/well-being. P&G has a history of innovation dating back to its founding in 1837 and was one of the first companies to use market research. Under CEO A.G. Lafley, P&G has shifted to an approach called "Connect & Develop" that focuses on gathering external innovations. Lafley also emphasizes assessing consumer outcomes to create new opportunities through experiments and building brand communities.
The document outlines key lessons from the book "Built to Last" about creating visionary companies, including that visionary companies are built over time by "clock builders" who focus on developing strong corporate cores and stimulating ongoing progress rather than relying on single great ideas or leaders. The research examined 20 visionary companies and their practices around preserving their core values while continually innovating and challenging the status quo.
The document discusses opportunities for recruiters in Asia Pacific. It notes that while Western economies are still recovering from the financial crisis, Asian economies like China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and others are experiencing strong growth and a booming recruitment market. Recruitment in the region is described as dynamic and growing rapidly across many industries. The region represents opportunities for experienced recruiters to help companies meet their growing talent needs.
This document discusses the trend of recruiters expanding into emerging markets globally. It provides examples of recruiters like Antal International and Grafton Employment Group that have opened many international offices. However, recruiters must adapt their business models to each local market and culture to be successful. Understanding the market is crucial, and having local recruiters and partners helps firms establish themselves. Expanding internationally provides growth opportunities, but requires a "glocal" approach that is locally focused rather than simply exporting Western business models.

Seven Seas expects to gain profitable market share by leveraging strong demand for natural products in the growing cosmetics and coatings industries. Financial projections show the company achieving $1.96 million in revenue in its first year and growing to $4.3 million in revenue with over $960,000 in net income by its fifth year.
An Effective Implementation Of 720 Degree Performance Appraisal A Case Study...Kim Daniels
Cadbury introduced a 720-degree performance appraisal process that included anonymous feedback from employees' friends and family in addition to colleagues. This gave leaders a broader view of how they were perceived both inside and outside of work. The process was part of Cadbury's leadership development program and helped some participants better understand aspects of their leadership. Cadbury expected 155 international leaders to complete the 720-degree program by mid-2010 as part of its efforts to develop transformational leaders.
This document provides an overview of business in the United States. It discusses the scientific approach American businesses take to analyzing processes. It then highlights facts about small businesses, including that they make up over 99% of businesses and employ over half of the private workforce. Finally, it briefly describes 10 iconic American businesses, including Procter & Gamble, Starbucks, Google, General Electric, Nike, Walmart, Apple, Disney, McDonald's, and Coca-Cola.
This newsletter article discusses an investment by Camstent, a medical device technology company based in Cambridge. Camstent raised £350,000 in financing, with six members of the Yorkshire Association of Business Angels (YABA) accounting for one-third of the investment. The funding will allow Camstent to further develop its patented polymer coating technology, which prevents bacterial growth on medical implants. One of the YABA investors commented that he was impressed by Camstent's technology and business plan. Camstent will use the funds over the next year to optimize its coating technology and prepare for regulatory approval and partnering.

Underpinning Nuprint's reputation as an innovator is their dedication to meeting customer needs and investing in new technologies. Formed in 1984, Nuprint has grown from a small label printer to a leader in the Irish design and print industry, doubling their business through an investment program and enhanced capabilities. Nuprint focuses on developing their employees' skills to provide excellent service and high quality work to customers in food, drink, and other industries across the world.
The document discusses the importance of employer branding and total immersion of a company's brand within its culture and employees. It argues that skills shortages are a major challenge for employers and are increasing competition for talent. To attract the best employees, companies need to think seriously about how they distinguish themselves through their brand. An effective employer brand must be aligned with the company's broader external brand and reflected internally through its culture. For the brand to be powerful, employees must truly embody the brand in their work and advocacy. This requires collaboration between marketing and HR to immerse the entire organization in living the brand identity.
Economic conditions have shifted significantly since the last Wisdom Exchange. The program held in February 2009 aimed to give the presidents and CEOs of Ontario's most successful Small and Medium Enterprises the tools to both face these challenges and develop new opportunities.
