Business as a force for good
We are an independent charity that inspires business to be a force for good in the AI age and guides leaders to build a more human future.
Our work is about stimulating and energising a different way of thinking and behaving in business. We believe businesses across all sectors and sizes can be a force for good. To maximise our impact we work primarily with senior people in large companies.
We also convene forums and events, and work with investors and influencers from wider society, including NGOs, academics, business schools, coaches and advisors, to help create the environment for purpose-led business to thrive.
A Framework for human-centred AI: a guide for business
This guide is designed to help Boards and leadership teams ask better questions about AI – not just about risk and compliance, but about purpose, people, and the kind of organisation you want to become – to begin a different kind of conversation: one that looks across the business as a whole and across multiple time horizons, grounds AI adoption in purpose rather than just possibility, and builds the shared understanding needed for genuine oversight.
The guide brings together four interconnected tools: opening questions to spark Board-level conversation, a framework to assess your organisation’s current approach, five principles that describe what purpose-led AI looks like in practice, and a workshop outline to go deeper as a Board or for use in leadership teams across the business.
What is a purpose-led business?
A business with a purpose that envisages a positive impact on the world and understands that business is essentially a series of relationships where people are treated as a ‘someone not a something’.
What does Blueprint do?
Our work is about stimulating and energising a different way of thinking and behaving in business. We work with businesses and those who influence them.
Download the Blueprint Principles & Framework
Our Five Principles of a Purpose Driven Business set out a call to action, whilst our Framework to Guide Decision Making provides a route map to behavioural change.
Start your business's purpose journey
To facilitate the practical application of Blueprint we have developed an illustrative journey that can help companies understand what might be involved.
Knowledgebase
Drawing on what we are learning from our work with business, we created a Knowledgebase to help you to incorporate our thinking and approach into your work. The content is aimed at helping practitioners in business and coaches, consultants and advisors to business, but could be of interest to anyone passionate about purpose-led business.
The Knowledgebase is arranged in four sections: Inspiration, Shared Understanding, Articulation and Bringing purpose to life.
Testimonials
“ Blueprint has been a crucially important critical friend throughout our purpose journey. Without them, I doubt we would have been able to achieve the depth of understanding we now have about the value our business could bring to society. Working with Blueprint has broadened our thinking and given us tools to openly, critically and collectively make decisions which positively impact a wider group of stakeholders than we ever thought possible.”
“You [Blueprint] have been a meaningful and long lasting impact, not just on us individually as leaders but the business as a whole, helping define and change strategy which means we are thinking for the long term for all stakeholders and having an impact as a business on society… … We are better leaders and a better organisation because of you. ”
