Ken Standfield is the Chairman of the International Intangible Management Standards Institute[1] a member organization of more than 800 members from 60 countries. The institute was the first body to comprehensively investigate how intangible value from knowledge, collaboration, process-engagement, and time effectiveness simultaneously impacted financial performance, employee engagement, brand, reputation, cost effectiveness, leadership ability and productivity. The result was the creation of more than 40 international intangible standards that provide a common and shared understanding of how soft intangible value (non-contractual & non-ownable) can be scientificially managed to determine new ways to cut costs, reduce risk, increase productivity, service, satisfaction, engagement, brand, reputation, and shareholder value.
