Organisations today are under pressure from all sides. Employees want to be productive and grow at the same time. Customers expect businesses to offer great products and also ‘do the right thing’. Alongside financial returns, shareholders demand real social impact. And society gets upset if it does not like what it sees, even from a distance. Business, as hatched by the Industrial Revolution, is dying – profit from satisfying immediate customer needs is no longer enough. Boards and senior executives are under pressure to change how organisations operate.
In this keynote, Quentin Millington explains the challenge of aligning day-to-day work with a wider purpose that goes beyond profit. He offers practical ideas to help organisations do more for the four investors in their future – customers, employees, society and shareholders.
