Meeting the challenges of a new Europe demands change. Perhaps it is a change in image, in customer perceptions, in attitudes to quality. Perhaps it is change to mark a new impetus or new direction. Increasingly products and services are selected not solely on performance, quality and price but on the purchaser's overall perceptions of that company. So if that is the case, where do customer perceptions of your organisation lie? For several years now the leading writers and exponents on corporate management have emphasised the need for developing a positive culture within a company. Yet
till now such objectives remained merely philosophical as few people could
offer management a definable and practical route to adopting such strategies.
Developing positive perceptions of an organisation requires a far more fundamental approach to communications than merely the commissioning of a new corporate identity or a new advertising campaign. Without a totally integrated strategy these are just single elements. To succeed, such an objective requires the involvement of the entire company -the total team. TTI develops employee pride in the organisation, enhances loyalties and creates a genuine sense of purpose. If management and employees can identify themselves with a positive company culture or philosophy, they will develop pride in that identity. Not just in their business environment but in their social environment too. Total Team Integration is a strategic approach to the development of such themes, which also provides the procedures and disciplines through which such a strategy can be effectively adopted.
