Reclaiming brand durability, sustainability and prosperity The long-standing relationship between people and brands is broken. Much of the trust, respect and loyalty people had for many brands has disintegrated. You see it every day in the level of cynicism, scepticism and indifference that people have toward many brands, in many interactions. Then there is the fact that brands are not delivering what people want. People aren’t looking for Utopian lives. MEANINGFUL BRAND INDEX (Mbi) Peter M.

As the start-up community knows, the only way out of chaos and uncertainty is to innovate. Within this community there is always a way to make things better, and the worse a situation gets, the harder they work to find a creative solution. Start-up culture comes with an attendant set of values, where doing something that matters is important, and where making a positive contribution can be more fulfilling than money or status (although, of course, the three can come together).
It is a culture where you 'succeed' by working as a team: sharing ideas, being open and listening to criticism. The power of these new firms is obvious: they disrupt industries that have stood for 100 years in just a few by offering many people around the world a better way. I believe that big businesses and institutions should take notice and apply that powerful and positive force for change more widely. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. I know -- it all sounds a bit utopian.
