David Harkins

Dr. David L. Harkins is a social scientist who studies the human experience in systems and culture. He writes and speaks as a public thinker, tracing how people and organizations make sense of change when familiar patterns no longer hold. His advisory work grows out of that inquiry, helping leaders notice what their environments are asking of them and respond with clarity and care.

You cannot control your brand

A company, like an individual, can only control its intention, its action, and its reaction.

If you think about it, intention, action, and reaction are only about 1/4 of a brand’s value. The customer controls the remaining 3/4 of the brand’s value based on their perceptions of how the company delivers, whether it be product quality, service and fit the customer’s needs, values and expectations.

Company’s influence their brand value through interactions. Customer’s control brand value.

If you got up this morning believing your company is in control of its brand, your year is already off to a rocky start.

The good news is it’s only January 3. You still have a few days to make changes.

Will you make them?
