So often we associate science and technology as something we design today, that creates the future we hope to exist in tomorrow.

On the flip side, we see cultural art, music and creative expression as something that holds the ropes of history...

February 16, 2022 05:41 - 49 minutes - 44.9 MB

As a leader, it is easy to feel confused around the role of purpose in business. Sure, we have all heard that we should ‘Start With Why’ or discussed the significance of the ‘North Star’ but these terms feel more like jargon than a real and measurable approach with tangible outcomes. In addition to that, in the context of this new normal, and in a world of rapid change, it would be fair to think that maybe our understanding of purpose in business should also evolve. Maybe it's time for a ne...

To frame this up we live in a world where we have bee...
