Workshop 2: Exploring the relationships in the Five Principles

This workshop can help you to explore the relevance of the purpose statement to each of the relationships set out in the Blueprint Principles. Thinking of business as a series of relationships changes the nature of the interaction and engagement with the people on which the business’ success depends and so influences strategy development and execution and therefore helps inform the development of the Purpose statement.
