• Purpose enables everyone to contribute to the organisation in new and more powerful ways and to be committed to the organisation and its objectives.
• Purpose enables everyone to make great decisions, wherever they are in the organisation.
• Purpose enables everyone to set priorities and tackle the things that create most value.

How your organisation becomes purpose-driven:
 

Making Purpose Work

To unleash the power of purpose, we create new habits.​

• We start where we are now, do what we can and work with what we have
• We acknowledge it as an ongoing journey
• We create agreements on how to make our purpose work
• We create a common language and unified decision making based on purpose
• We enable everyone to contribute to the purpose with their strengths, unique abilities and skills
• We create resilient systems that can learn and adapt to a VUCA environment
• We create an environment that is based on mutual appreciation and support
• We make space to reflect and adapt regularly, listening and valuing different perspectives
• We create with and not for.

Our collaboration is based on our Manifesto «Making Purpose Work» by Generation Purpose:

We are here together to do great things based on a common purpose.

Let's get it done, together!

For us:

• We want to collaborate better to make great things possible.
• We discover what excellent collaboration means to us and make this knowledge accessible to the whole team and those we collaborate with. It's an ongoing journey.
• We choose to be led by courage, not by fear.
• Our common purpose shows us the way and lets us stay in a positive flow while we navigate permanent change and uncertainty as a team.
• We build the best solutions through meaningful conversations, through careful listening and transparent decision-making. We value intuition and things that cannot be measured.
• We learn together by doing, reflecting and adapting. We experiment, fail and improve things together. To us, collaboration means: Get it done together!
• We believe in collaboration that is fun and voluntary, where everyone contributes what makes the most sense to them and the team.
• We let each other shine. We use our superpowers to enable each other. We accept each other’s shortcomings and help each other to grow and evolve.
• Everyone is invited to play a vital part in what we create and to contribute fully. We are a team. The whole is much more than the sum of its parts.

For me:

• I come with a positive attitude and take care of myself to be able to care for others. I spread kindness and I am mindful of the needs of others. I listen more than I speak.
• I give more than I take. I show up as human, bring my heart to work and carefully build trusting relationships. I reflect on my behavior and address my shortcomings.
• I take on different roles: Sometimes as participant. Sometimes as facilitator. Sometimes I lead the way.
• I contribute what is of most value to all. I share all relevant information and take care that others can take over my roles.
