I think the points are perfect in addition quality circles should be made and every body in the organisation should every body as customer. All problems will be solved. Today we dont treat our colleague as customers. 
I think the most important criteria for branding is to  'BE' your brand. You are walking talking brand ambassador of your company. your behavior reflects the brand you represent, incorporating the culture of your organization and reflecting the image of your company is your responsibility. The value's the mission, the vision of your company are not just in paper they have to be reflected in your personality. Ensure that every representative imbibes the brand image into his persona.... don't forget the driver the peon and the gate man of your company they are the first face to you and your organization.
