Codes, policies, scenario-based training sessions…most of the “communication staples” in compliance programs pale by comparison to the power of real people and their stories. Especially if you want to reinforce your company’s commitment to your core values. That’s why the new “Core Values Campaign” by Louis Vuitton caught my eye. As far as I can tell, it’s a marketing effort. But it has all the right elements to do so much more. ·       Two individuals with compelling backgrounds; ·       A challenge they face (in this case, a staged mountain climb); ·       A set of core values to guide their actions; ·       Their personal reflections on what they've learned. If you watch the video interview with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, you will probably be inspired by their character. That’s the point. Though the snow falling prodigiously on their heads is a little distracting. 😊 You don’t have to have “legends” like Roger and Raffa to accomplish this task. Neither do you have to stage a scene. Everyday, imperfect people in your organization can be powerful ambassadors for your company’s commitment to integrity. Ask them to tell their stories and connect a challenge they’ve faced to your core values. They will inspire others. #corevalues #businessintegrity #character #LVMH #RogerFederer #Rafa https://lnkd.in/eFCjQzJH

New Era Cap To Acquire '47 in Major Sporting Headwear Deal. New Era Cap, a leading American sporting headwear brand, announced it would acquire neighboring hat label '47 to bring the two headwear market’s most prominent names under one roof. According to Reuters, New Era aims to build a company that generates approximately EUR 2 billion annually. Before the acquisition, the brand was eyeing an initial public offering, expected to be valued at around USD 5 billion. New Era and ’47 make licensed hats for the major American sports leagues, including the National Football League (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Baseball (MLB), National Hockey League (NHL), MLS NEXT Pro, NCAA, and NASCAR. The former label’s signature 59Fifity cap was launched in 1954, roughly 30 years after Ehrhardt Koch founded the family-led brand based in Buffalo, New York. ’47, which also creates team apparel, started in 1947 when twins Arthur and Henry D’Angelo began selling sports merch outside Fenway Park. With the acquisition, Koch has stated that the New Era will offer “a breadth of products across both brands and enhance how we serve our customers and partners around the world.” He added, “We will also have opportunities in new markets where New Era already has distributed capabilities and a strong customer base.” The terms of the acquisition were not shared, but the deal will be reportedly close by the end of this year and before New Era’s stock market debut.  By: Dylan Kelly HYPEBEAST #NewEra #’47 #HypeBeast  #NFL #NBA #MLB #MLS #NCAA #NHL #NASCAR #acquire #EhrhardtKoch #ArthurD’Angelo #HenryD’Angelo #FenwayPark #Reuters #59Fifity #apparel #sports #sportsmerch  #majorsportingheadweardeal
