Inspiration As A Strategy

As you may have heard, Forbes magazine published their America's Top 25 Most Inspiring Companies last week, and Microsoft was awarded the #1 spot. Pretty cool.

Also interesting was this statement "This survey highlights the fact that when a company embarks on an inspiring mission, it’s employees become inspired by their work and that makes for an inspiring customer experience every time.” I hadn't thought of 'inspiration' as a strategy, or strategic theme for the strategic planning experts out there. Hm, fascinating.

 America's Top 25 Most Inspiring Companies:

1. Microsoft
2. Disney
3. Walmart
4. Chick-fil-A
5. Target
6. McDonald’s
7. Google
8. Amazon
9. Johnson & Johnson
10. Toms Shoes
