Setting workshop objectives

The overarching objective of our workshops is to facilitate a deeper conversation within the team to:

  • Deepen the understanding of what purpose-led business means and the implications for the business
  • Understand the journey so far and how far the business has already evolved to become purpose-led
  • Given the current context, lift people out of the knitting, raising the ambition of what their collective intelligence, influence and experience could be in service of
  • Create space for a spectrum of views to be heard, both on the unrealised potential and opportunities, and for people to raise what they think the barriers are

We have learned that the best approach is to co-create the objectives of each workshop with the leaders we are working with.

Resist the temptation to lead people to specific outcomes, don’t try to control the outcomes but let things emerge.

The desired (but not forced) outcome is that the team:

  • Believes that becoming purpose-led is better for people, better for society and better for the business
  • Is clear and committed to the deep evolution involved (even when the path of that evolution is not always clear or certain)
