</div>
</span></strong></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">
<div>
<div>In a time when change should be in the forefront of business development thinking, two critical steps should be pursued together: Formal “Strategic” planning combined with a rethinking of “Branding.”</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Both are often misperceived as “automatic” efforts, and the linkage between them is frequently not brought into focus.</div>
<div><strong> </strong></div>
</div>
<strong>GENERAL NEXT STEPS: </strong>
<div>Taking the time to capture and refine an intended pattern of development or an issue of concern into a focused plan can be a critical step. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The initiation of planning will benefit from starting with “Single Document.”</div>
<div> - Develop an outline of all questions related to the area of effort or concern.</div>
<div> - Have more than one individual answer the questions as a set of written notations</div>
<div> - Where the answers in alignment, convert to a series of commitments in a measured sequence</div>
<div> </div>
Now, adjust the defining document into a “Spec Sheet” that details, Findings, and Points (in a sense a “soft” Contract), leading to a mutually agreed upon working Plan and/or actual working Contract.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;">
<div><strong> </strong></div>
<div><strong>ESTABLISH BRANDING:</strong></div>
<div>Branding is defined as: All phrases, images, and related texts that establish a desired emotional PERCEPTION in the minds of a target group. Branding can be applied to more than products or services. It should be consciously wrapped around processes or even the resolution of an issue…Yes!</div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>KEY OPENING STEPS:</strong></span></span></span> </div>
<div> - IDENTIFY TARGETS OF THE BRANDING CONCEPT</div>
<div> - IDENTIFY BENEFITS THAT ARE UNIQUE</div>
<div> - SET KEY DISTINGUISHING MESSAGES AND IMAGES THAT ASSOCIATE THE BENEFITS WITH THE TARGET</div>
<div> - SELECT A COMMUNICATION TONE, STYLE, AND METHOD</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>MAKING IT TANGIBLE:</strong></div>
<div>Apply a universal test to all communications:</div>
<div> - Is the intention in writing in a form that can be generally understood?</div>
<div> - Does the language and associated images move the target emotionally?</div>
<div> - Is there a sequence of activity that translates intention to tangible results?</div>
<div> - Have you created a ‘Brand Essence’ that wraps around the effort?</div>
<div> - Are the results being measured/tracked/communicated by someone OTHER than the person committed to engaging them?</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>FIRST STEP:</strong></div>
<div>Pick a “generally understood” area of development related to your group’s “Branding” that has potential desirability but has not been “Branded”. Apply the “Tangibility” sequence. Once your vision is clarified in the form of a plan, put the result into play.</div>

<div>The cooperative efforts of the TRG team, the leadership of SVU under the management of Steve Haracznak, and our colleague, Jim Snyder, CPA (Yount Hyde & Barbour and Rotary) have now lead to the first working model of “Converting Your Career”.</div>
<div> </div>
We are most pleased to launch the initial working sessions in the months of March and April. Please visit the attached link. <a rel="SVU Converting Your Career" href="http://www.svunet.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3882">SVU Converting Your Career</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>We are also in discussion with a number of organizations that wish to participate in other locations around the country. The project lends itself to a wide range of constituents, and it is now ready to go.</div>
