Essential tools to shift your business game
The thriving businesses of the future will be the ones that are agents of change and that put purpose before profit. They’ll continuously measure and improve on their employee, community and environmental impact. They’ll be hungry to learn, tap into like-minded business communities and adopt the most relevant technology and tools to make the big shift from thinking about it to actually doing it.
Thankfully there’s lots of community support for courageous business people willing to go on the journey; Conscious Capitalism, B Corp, The Hub, School of Life and Slow School just to name a few.
And there are two excellent tools to help you get started right now; the B Impact Assessment (a free assessment tool that allows you to check out how your company performs against dozens of best practices on employee, community and environmental impact) and the Business Model Canvas (a tool for change-makers and visionaries passionate about defying outmoded business models and designing tomorrow’s businesses.)
The B Impact Assessment is the pre-cursor to becoming a Certified B Corporation. And I’m proud to announce that Carolyn Tate & Co. was just two weeks ago certified as a B Corp! As one of the 45 founding members in Australia and a global community of more than 1000 companies, it was a very special moment to be amongst so many conscious business leaders at the launch party recently. Read the full blog on ‘What B Corps are and why we became one’ and how you can too.
Are you on the Slow School mailing list?
By now, no doubt you’ve read about the launch of The Slow School of Business (Slow School) or even attended a class or two? Each Monday, separate to this fortnightly blog, I’ll be sending out a Weekly Slow School News email to those who opt in.
In these emails I share open-heartedly the inside information (the good, the bad and the ugly) on how Slow School is progressing in the hope you’ll find them insightful and inspiring for your own business (and life) journey.
If you’re not on the Slow School mailing list already and would like to receive this weekly update, please visit the page, scroll to the bottom and Subscribe.
If you’re ready to shift your business game and I can be of service to you in anyway, please drop me a line!
