3.A Recommendations and justification of the skills , physical resources and culture needed to deliver
the organization brand plan
Branding means much more than giving a brand name & depicting the external world that a product or
service is being stamped with a mark and imprint of an organization .It requires long term corporate
engagement and high level of resources and skills (Kapferer, 2008)
Employees directly or indirectly involved in fulfilling organization brand promise, they represent an
important internal target group for brand management effort

Creating a different organizational culture that is not a copycat of the culture of another business is
what enables great companies to deliver phenomenal results .Leader recognize that a strong
differentiated culture of the business leads to strong differentiated brands and that an outstanding
brand will foster an exemplary culture and promote it .When you think and work and work internally in
a specific ways you will create the unique identity and picture you want externally (Yohn ,2017)

3.B Develop an appropriate dashboard for measuring brand performance, by assessing which online

Three popular brand metrics are behavior metrics what employees internally do to advance a brand
.Perception metrics the way brand is viewed by consumers (refer 2.A.1) .Financial metrics are financial
and other indicators of business which propel an organization forward (Michael, 2008)

enhancing success management. Therefore recently interest in dashboards has increased, that is also
evident from the proliferation in the industry of dash board solution providers. Dash boards draw from
different areas finally use visualization to communicate important information to stake holders
