IMD/Burson–Marsteller: Power of Purpose Study
…for employees, purpose
‘provides the ‘inspiration’ or
‘motivation’ in defining why
they are doing what they do
and shapes working culture,
guiding them in their roles
and responsibilities.’

A rallying cry
from the mailroom
to the boardroom.
FIRED UP.
A businesses greatest
ambassador: when an employee
is purpose driven they are
more productive, satisfied and
fulfilled. Beyond financial
reward, purpose is a reason to
get out of bed on Monday
morning. More than a job that
pays the bills… they are a part
of something that matters.

Edelman: Good Purpose® 2012
…purpose helps “to drive
consumer preference
in a world where trust
incorporations is low
and diffentiation between
brands is negligible”..

Genuinely connect

MORE...
With purpose, you won’t just
have a market position — you’ll
have a point of view.

differentiation is negligible
and cynicism is high, standing
for something gives the world
a reason to listen. And when

HOW TO
WORK WITH
PURPOSE

12. Working with Purpose
DISCOVER
PURPOSE
Purpose is the deepest
expression of your business;
you need to define and
articulate it. Discovering
your purpose is a deeply
immersive exercise: there’ll
be a lot of questions—some
easy, some challenging—but at
the end, there’ll be answers.
You’ll have your purpose.

13. Working with Purpose
MOBILISE
YOUR
PURPOSE
Now that you are clear on
your purpose, ask how it
can be optimised across
your business? Your purpose
is much more than words
on a page; it will help
to align operations and
ideals and drive business
decisions (especially the
difficult ones).

14. Working with Purpose
ACTION
WITH
PURPOSE
Now you have your purpose
you need to bring it to life;
it’s time to roll up your
sleeves and get going.
This might be designing
staff engagement programs,
delivering a brand campaign,
reshaping your social media
strategy, or working across
your business in change
management and adaptive
leadership.
