For-purpose business model workbook
What if, there was no such thing as ‘for-purpose business’, because it was simply just ‘business’?
That’s our vision. To achieve it, we need more and stronger for-purpose and social enterprise business models. But balancing profit and purpose in practice isn’t easy.
That’s why we created the for-purpose business model workbook.
The workbook offers internationally recognised tools and guidance to blend financial sustainability and purpose – in a practical eight step process. It’s based on academic research and four decades of practical experience (and many lessons learned!) leading for-purpose businesses in Australia, the UK and Europe at executive and Board level.
We’ve gifted it to the for-purpose sector, as one way we can help realise our vision of a fairer and more just world.
If you’re one of the trailblazers building or leading a for-purpose organisation or social enterprise – this workbook is for you.
Genius and generous on every level, I can’t rave about this enough.
