Organization » Humanity of Business
Employees—and the organizations they work for—are increasingly seeking purpose and meaning. What is the role of business in society?
The 2019 TED conference in Vancouver was a dizzying mix of talks cataloging what’s new in technology, entertainment, design, and beyond. From a business perspective, there were a handful of themes that captured vividly important shifts in the zeitgeist.
Setting a purpose is an easy exercise to pursue when no discomfort or change is involved. The purpose of purpose is to change the current reality, not to justify it.
Our research leveraging natural language processing shows that firms pursuing a purpose have been rewarded by faster growth, higher employee engagement, and, paradoxically, superior financial performance.
During Web Summit in Lisbon, the House of Beautiful Business convened an eclectic group of thinkers and makers to craft a human vision for the future of work and business.
