BEST WISHES FOR ALIGNING PURPOSE WITH PROFIT IN 2020

At the end of a year, where the climate agenda more than anything remains on the mental screen, we are probably all more conscious about our footprint, than we were at the start of the year. And the debate about, how our actions impact the climate, is vigorous.

In Denmark, the number of cases, where responsible leaders in both public and private positions have been accused of failing to live up to moral and legal standards, has been noticeable. Focus on the need for good governance is rising.

Subsequently, so is the need to make citizenship an integrated part of the business model, which creates value at par with the core purpose - not simply a cost item, or ‘license to operate’.

At purpose@heart I have had the pleasure to work for more wood in construction, sustainable energy to benefit the ‘big’ climate and with the ’small’ climate inside our buildings, where close comfort and personal health, make it easier to understand the need and act upon it. And not least, I have worked for active, positive communities to challenge the isolation and passivity risks of our digital reality, for children and young people.

That the youngest teenager in our family has announced, that family holidays in 2020 should stay on the ground and not include air traffic, is simply a sign, that climate negotiations come in all sizes.

No matter what 2020 will bring us, I wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for you and your family.

Not least to cope and grow in a digital reality, where transparency and speed requires fast, almost impulsive decision-making. In these conditions, the ability to replicate good, be noticed and recognized, calls for a clear direction, relevance and firm consistency.

WHAT I THINK...

purpose@heart is a networking solo mission from a humanistic strategist with a development mindset. Besides of my two cents of contribution I will post my views about topics relevant to my expertise and to purpose@heart.

I come with a focus on the customer and a belief that you have to overcome the barriers to change to stay relevant. The field of marketing is disrupted in more ways than we care to think about.

We grow by sharing. Your knowledge and views may ignite a new idea for me or somebody else. Every new idea is a different combination of two existing, and I invite you to share your inputs here. For the sake of good order, I will take the liberty of removing any inputs out of topic for this blog. Thanks.
