Business Forum 2017
BUSINESS FORUM 2017
The paradox of modern business is that most successful organisations are not single-mindedly profit-focused. They also invest in people and the broader community, and in doing so they discover not only competitive advantage but a social purpose.
Business Forum 17 will facilitate thought and discussion about a purpose beyond profit where businesses thrive, communities flourish, nations prosper.
Hear from leaders who demonstrate how business can be compatible with social purpose and learn how they are reshaping the rules.
Ricardo Semler will start us off with his story of how he made his business flourish with an idle approach. In making the case for purpose beyond profit, inspiring business leaders from various industries will discuss the most powerful psychological motivators for increasing employee engagement, commitment and productivity.
Seeing a demand in the market, Abigail Forsyth knows what it takes to make a successful business align with purpose. David Barnett made sure purpose was a pivotal component of the strategy underpinning Pearson’s commercial viability. Meanwhile, engaging and empowering your people has proven a successful formula for those who have demonstrated purposeful impact.
But when it comes to empowering people often there a multitude of challenges that must be overcome – from a perspective of a man who took a print house into the digital age, discover how Gus Balbontin fought tradition, melding Lonely Planet’s purpose with a digital business model. The best story tellers can drive change and their successes demonstrates how story telling also drives profit – proving communication really is the key.
