CONNECTING PROFIT WITH PURPOSE: HOW TO CREATE A WORLD-CHANGING BUSINESS
Philanthropic gifts and corporate social responsibility programmes are admirable, but they fall short of driving the change at scale that we desperately need today.
What if you could play a role in turning this around? You can, and you can start right now. It’s about applying a simple set of principles to connect profitable business with social purpose.
This is an easy to read book with a practical roadmap for (re)building trust and creating high-performing, sustainable businesses.
The structure:
Introduction
Section I: Overcoming competing interests
Section II: Creating shared value
Section III: Finding your opportunities
Section IV: Your action plan
I received a lot of positive feedback about the workshop and your facilitation. People seem to be really keen to start implementing their new knowledge.
Our event has been made so much richer because of your experience and approach. You’ve been awesome!
The discussion gave the various stakeholders in the room a broader perspective of the issues we face and how it impacts what our businesses are trying to do.
As a community we have decided to focus on youth unemployment and Phil has helped us engage with local companies to open up their thinking around sustained solutions and win-win outcomes.
Phil helped us think more broadly about business partnerships to identify and explore shared value opportunities in our goal to improve Indigenous health.
Phil’s engaging style, thought leadership and practical case studies added huge value to each delegate and the overarching program. Great stuff!
His ability to engage with people, to challenge and to stimulate new ways of thinking, while providing us with a clear strategic approach was highly skilled.
