"I have seen the benefit of David Kincaid's approach to brand-asset management in two different service industries. Embedding brand-asset management into a company's strategy builds a culture of collaboration, ownership, and accountability.

It is a great journey that value-driven CEOs should embrace to build their company's resilience and sustainability for the future."
