Organizations with a clear purpose and mission use it to drive significant impact. So much so, that over the last decade, purpose-driven brands have seen their valuation increase by 175%, according to Harvard Business Review. But interestingly, these concepts are often no more than words on page – without the organization’s fingerprints on these ideas. As a result, the rollout is flat and the concepts aren’t embraced.

In this case study session, you’ll learn the exact methodology several large multi-national organizations use, through their partnership with The Grossman Group, to develop their DNA in a way that generates enterprise-wide buy-in that gets results and builds a culture that thrives. After all, it’s not until an organization embraces its purpose that it can commit to pursuing it.

Attendees will learn:

• Why high levels of burnout and ambivalence among employees and managers is prompting organizations to relook at culture/DNA
• What it takes to build a thriving culture today, and get a data-backed model to guide the process
• Why it’s so critical for Communications to partner with executive leadership on DNA development
• The significant benefits of involving senior leaders – and all employees - on the journey
• The necessary steps to introduce and launch the methodology
• Key success drivers, how to overcome stumbling blocks and the secrets to success
