Peer Groups, on Purpose

The Purpose Pivot: Uncovering Your Purpose | Peer Group 1

How, exactly, do you become a Social Purpose business? 

Purpose Pathways is offering unique training for businesses ready to uncover their authentic and optimal Social Purpose - together with other business leaders in a peer-based learning environment. These are virtual sessions, so you can join from anywhere!

This peer-based model offers you an opportunity to learn from and with fellow business leaders (non-competitors) who are also journeying on the Purpose path. It is a great opportunity, not only to define your company’s unique Social Purpose, but also to network, connect deeply with, and learn from like-minded leaders, who may just become friends and allies. 

We create ways to keep connected after this experience so that you can continue to lean in and learn on Purpose, together.

Our next group launches SOON! Connect now to join it. 

What the peer group offers:

In five online learning sessions, companies will take a deep dive into three core areas, all inputs that will culminate in crafting your company's optimal contribution to the world - its Social Purpose:

1. Understanding your business: Take a deep dive into your companies’ history, evolution, competitive advantages, competencies and assets.

2. Understanding your stakeholders: In a turbulent rapidly changing world, business agility and resilience comes from a deep understanding of your stakeholders including employees, suppliers, customers. A deep understanding of what they see as your organization’s value proposition, and leadership capability is critical to uncovering your purpose.

3. Understanding the larger societal context: Understand the key risks and opportunities facing your business, your customers, and your supply chain. Uncover how you can uniquely mitigate that risk and build value for your organization, customers and the communities you serve using the UN Sustainable Development Goals to map your risks and your opportunities.

After completing this series, you will have:

• A clearly articulated Social Purpose statement and underlying narrative that describes why your company exists and inspires employees, customers and partners to collaborate with you in meaningful ways around that Purpose.

• A new network of fellow Social Purpose business allies to do business with, to mutually support each other, and to maintain strong connections to as you grow your business. 

• A powerful lens on everything you do, enabling innovation to discover new products or services aligned with your Purpose, amplify your impact, and drive business success.

Who is this peer-group for?

• Leaders who are facing the challenges in today's business environment, looking for a new approach to increasing resilience that goes beyond business as usual.

• Leaders who believe that business can (and should) play a role in making the world a better place - while it makes a profit and thrives. 

• Companies in a crowded marketplace looking for a meaningful and impactful way to differentiate their company from the rest.

• People who love to learn in a group setting, making lasting connections and learning from their peers and the experts. 

• Leaders who are driven by a sense of purpose (beyond profits) and the desire to leave a lasting, positive legacy through their work.
