When was the last time you looked at why your company or organization exists? Peter Diamandes of Singularity University says that you need a massively transformational purpose that keeps you focused and attracts talent and clients. Marketing professionals will tell you that people formulate their own opinions about your brand based on their experience as well as your messaging. So it’s important that your branding is clear.
