Corporate purpose development

Is your company driven by a corporate purpose? Let’s develop a purpose that support’s your strategy & boosts your performance.

Our approach

  • Reveal: We Start by exploring the core values that embody the essence of your company. These should be values that resonate deeply with your mission and vision, guiding your organizational behavior and decision-making processes.
  • Involve: As inclusivity is key, we engage a spectrum of stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, and community members, to gather diverse perspectives on what they believe the company stands for and should stand for.
  • Define: As suggested by the Purpose Readiness™ Index, a purpose must be authentic. It should genuinely reflect the company’s historical roots and its current & future activities. Authenticity is crucial as it helps build “transformational trust” and credibility among stakeholders.
    Develop & align: Once the final statement is confirmed after developing many different options, it also needs to be aligned with other relevant elements – especially, vision, mission, the positioning as well as the overall business strategy, ensuring that all business activities are coherent with the declared purpose. This ensures the purpose is not only top-down but also bottom-up, reflecting the collective ethos and aspirations of the entire corporate ecosystem.
  • Enable: Purpose should be deeply integrated into the company’s culture. This means embedding it into the HR policies, leadership principles, and everyday business practices. Employees at all levels should be encouraged to embody the corporate purpose in their roles.
  • Execute: Finally, the purpose is launched. Clear and consistent communication is critical. The purpose should be articulated in a way that is easy to understand and resonates emotionally with internal and external audiences. This involves storytelling that connects the company’s daily operations to its broader societal contributions.
