Aspirational advantage is about building loyal relationships between employee, customer, supplier, and investor constituencies because an enterprise is values-based. Values-based means that stated values and enacted values are consistent. If the values display the notion of trust and integrity, then the enterprise is respected. If the values display the notion of quality, then the enterprise is perceived as predictable and reliable.

When the management of an enterprise communicates
aspirational and inspirational messages for values, purpose
and direction, others follow.
An
aspiration is a dream of a future state. It may be hard or
impossible to achieve from the current state of affairs
without higher-order effects kicking in.
Higher-order effects are events or situations that could not have been envisioned or anticipated at the beginning of an endeavor, but become apparent as activity proceeds. They provide additional opportunities or threats.
For example, the operator of a cafe learns after opening that it is necessary to establish a high volume catering business unit to help cover the fixed costs of the "on premises" business unit.
Higher order effects make it possible to achieve an aspiration through some activity that seemed unachievable when the endeavor was started. Conversely, higher offer effects can destroy any aspiration or vision from ever being achieved.
For example, continued advances in technology have transformed computers from requiring large air conditioned rooms to fitting in briefcases, with considerably more power and memory than could ever have been imagined when the first machines were developed. Many traditional jobs have disappeared as a consequence.

An
aspirational statement is long-term statement of direction,
augmented by a near-term vision. An inspirational statement
is a highly descriptive and compelling message that impacts
mind, body, and soul. A motivational statement communicates
the four drivers of influence that create motions for
action: association, opportunity to gain, influence, and
fear of loss.
Followers
are not limited to employees. Customers, suppliers, and
investors are attracted too if an enterprise's aspirational
and inspirational statements are influential
enough.
A
mission is an aspirational and inspirational statement of
purpose, supported by a set of high level objectives. A
mission statement addresses the core competencies of the
enterprise - the activities it performs
well.
A vision
is an inspirational statement of a future state, which is
reasonably achievable, within the context of the
longer-term aspiration. Visions have external and internal
components. The external component is what a community
(local-to-global) can become as a consequence of the
enterprise's activities, and the products and/or services
that it offers. The internal component describes what the
enterprise itself can become to its employees, customers,
suppliers, and investors.
For
example, an external vision could be "changing our
community, one customer at a time" - the near-term vision
could be the in local community; the long-term aspiration
could be in the global community. Internal visions could
include "best place to work," and "easy to do business
with."
Strong
aspirational, inspirational, and motivational statements
define both enterprise and product and/or service brands. A
brand is a collection of ideas, symbols, logos, images, tag
lines, and slogans that represent a enterprise and its
product and/or services. An enterprise can communicate to
customers, suppliers, and investors through its brands and
associated service marks, and trademarks, if they are
memorable and recognizable.
For
example, Apple, Inc. has created a strong following among
its customers; its logo is memorable and instantly
recognizable. HSBC Holdings, plc, defines itself as "the
world's local bank," and Delta Air Lines, Inc. offers "a
world of possibilities." The customers of Federal Express
Corporation called it "Fed Ex," thus causing a name change
to FedEx Corporation. The verb "to fedex" is a proprietary
eponym, derived from the corporate name, meaning "to ship a
package overnight."

Customers
buy because they want to be associated with brands or earn
incentives. Designer brands command loyalty among consumers
for quality and perception of lifestyle. Customers,
suppliers, and investors want to be associated with
enterprises with strong aspirational and inspirational
images and messages that suggest
sustainability.
For
example, Prudential Financial, Inc. uses the "rock" as its
logo.
Both
suppliers and investors perceive that defaults are less
likely with enterprises that have loyal employee and
customer bases that can generate and process transactions
reliably on an ongoing basis.
Aspirational
advantage tightens the fit between an enterprise and its
employees, customers, suppliers, and investors. When an
enterprise has constituency advantage, its position in the
marketplace is strengthened. Constituents are loyal, and
are less likely to switch to competitors.
