The BCAT process can help an organization update its brand and culture within a matter of days using a combination of proven consensus-building tools and a unique technology to measure alignment.
“Any organization seeking to implement a strategic and systematic approach to human capital management and ROI of engagement needs to start with a clear, strategic and consensus-based brand and culture to cascade across all stakeholders,” says Bruce Bolger, founder of The Engagement Agency, a new service that helps connect organizations with appropriate engagement solutions. The Engagement Agency is incorporating the BCAT methodology into its new human capital management support service to offer solution providers and their clients a rapid and effective way to address the fundamental need to have a clear brand and culture before undertaking any engagement process.
BCAT is a leading supplier of a brand, culture, and team alignment process that helps organizations efficiently and rapidly create alignment in almost any type of team for any type of reason, including new product launches, special research and development efforts, entertainment productions, etc. Explains Al Cini, BCAT founder, “Having a formal process for fostering alignment in any group helps improve performance and efficiencies as well as experiences by having everyone singing from the same song sheet. This process can be applied to the development of the organization’s brand and culture principles or to the deployment of any ad hoc group to make sure everyone has a vision of what the organization and their role looks like on its best day. From there, organizations can develop more effective communications, learning, coaching, and rewards and recognition efforts to support that brand and culture.”

Says Bruce Bolger, founder of the Engagement Agency, “Based on observations from experts Dr. Gary Rhoads, CEO, Xvoyant.com and Professor Emeritus, Brigham Young University Marriott Graduate School of Business; Alex Edmans, Professor of Finance for London Business School, and Barbara Porter, Managing Director at EY, and Dr. Paul White, CEO of Appreciation at Work, in a recent EEA Zoom show on culture, having a defined brand and culture is critical to organizational success, and yet less than 20% of organizations have an updated brand and culture that connects all stakeholders.
