The Meaningful Organisation

Moving beyond profit
More detailed information
Milton Friedman declared in 1970 that “The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits”. This business imperative has become outdated as today’s business leaders steer their organizations beyond profit. We need to think about topics like sustainability, diversity, giving back, etc.
Organizations are taking up a bigger role in society and pursue a purpose. Not answering the meaningful call of duty could risk organizations losing on two fronts: customers & employees will lose interest and switch to more purpose-driven alternatives.
