Integrated Brand Identity™ by Core Intent
Make your brand resonate in every decision, interaction and action you take.
Too often, organizations miss the opportunity to embrace a truly strategic approach to their brand strategy efforts. Sometimes operating with the mistaken belief that a new logo is a new brand, or a new website suffices for brand implementation, they’re unable to maximize the impact of their effort and investment.
That’s why we developed Integrated Brand Identity™. IBI™ is grounded in our belief that your organization’s cause, or reason for existing, must serve as the basis for – and drive all your work. Thus, our tagline, “Cause as compass.”
By collaborating closely with you to craft a strategic brand position that permeates every aspect of your operation, we help you ensure lasting relevance and impact. By integrating this brand position seamlessly across your organization’s initiatives and endeavors, you’re empowered to not only stand out in the present, but also to evolve and thrive in the ever-changing landscape of tomorrow.
IBI ensures that your brand identity does more than inform marketing and communications work. It ensures your brand resonates in every interaction and decision, from refining priorities to shaping policies, and from developing programs to informing advocacy efforts. And so much more.
Duty Driven Governance™ by Core Intent
Govern with clarity, consistency and commitment
Serving on a governing body is a meaningful - and highly accountable - act of leadership, regardless of an organization’s size, sector or scope. Whether in a nonprofit, governmental entity or for-profit enterprise, board members carry serious responsibilities rooted in legal, ethical and moral imperatives. These roles also bring significant personal and collective accountability.
That combination forms the foundation of The Stewardship Imperative: Duty Driven Governance™.
Grounded in the belief that governance isn’t just structural but also cultural, DDG™ helps organizations build policies and practices that align with formal duties while also addressing the behaviors and mindsets that shape governance performance. At its core, it’s about clarifying the obligation to place the organization’s best interests above all others - and to govern accordingly.
Ironically, governance is often an underdeveloped domain of leadership - not from indifference, but from a lack of time, tools and focus. Duty Driven Governance™ helps your board embrace that focus. Through a lens of alignment and accountability, we support organizations in cultivating principled, practical governance that stays centered on what matters most.
When governance is intentional, board service becomes transformative. And when board members embrace the full scope of their role - legal, ethical and cultural - they help their organizations lead with integrity, clarity and shared purpose.
