Explore how organisations can turn purpose into action and unlock human potential to address pressing global challenges in a conversation with Gary Hamel, leading business thinker and Professor at London Business School, and Stig Albertsen from Implement Consulting Group, as they share practical insights on empowering employees, driving innovation, and creating meaningful impact.

Understanding worthwhile problems
Organisations succeed by solving important problems, from feeding millions to advancing technology and sustainability. This discussion explores why purpose matters and how leaders can ensure their organization’s goals are noble, ambitious, and future focused, while maintaining real-world impact beyond mere profitability.

Unleashing human potential
True organisational change requires empowering employees, flattening hierarchies, and offering decision rights and financial upside. By fostering autonomy and initiative, companies can harness latent human capacity, transforming everyday workplaces into hubs of creativity and problem solving capable of addressing global challenges.

Collaboration for systemic change
Many societal challenges are systemic, requiring collaboration across companies, governments, investors, and communities. Implementing new incentives, accountability systems, and leadership development is essential to collectively solve problems that no single organization can address alone. This holistic approach ensures meaningful, lasting impact.

Driving purpose into action
Purpose without empowerment is ineffective. Organisations must connect noble ambitions with practical strategies that unlock creativity, initiative, and problem-solving skills. By embracing entrepreneurship within large institutions, businesses can contribute to solving the world’s toughest problems while engaging employees in work that truly matters.
