Summary

Unlock greater profits. Empower happier and more engaged staff. Foster loyalty and connection with customers. Save your business...and the world. How? It all starts with a Purpose Upgrade.

History shows that hard times can lead to the greatest opportunities for renewal. The Purpose Upgrade will support listeners in leading enterprises that thrive by solving our most important problems.

It shows how businesses can create more compelling benefits for customers, build meaningful livelihoods for colleagues, and unlock superior returns for investors by 'repurposing' and revitalising the activities they engage in.

Meet the social entrepreneur who repurposed the previously 'boring' trade in office supplies to fund micro-finance initiatives that reach millions of the people most exposed to poverty, so that 'even a bad day at the office saves lives'.

Learn how the leaders of a coal-mining business repurposed their enterprise first as an industrial chemicals company and then more spectacularly as a sustainable living business, generating unprecedented shareholder returns by aligning their objectives with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. They are now changing the lives of smallholder farmers, re-directing the food system to a more sustainable model, and harnessing the power of the world's biggest brands to provide more nutritious food on a healthier planet.  

And, most importantly, discover a unique methodology that you can use to make a Purpose Upgrade an always-available event at any level of your own enterprise.

There has never been a more urgent need to change our businesses to save the world or a more opportune time to change the world to save our businesses.

The one Purpose book you need

We've all read tons of business books on how to generate PROFIT for businesses, from University, to the day-to-day jobs, to KPI's and Incentives, this was the common theme. Not anymore. If you still prioritise PROFIT over PURPOSE, please read this book as you have a new mission: contributing towards making the world a better place by joining everyone else who is already on this mission. If on the other hand, you are already a transformational visionary with a keen desire to action right away your ideas, this book is also for you as it will supplement your view, offering new perspectives from the point of view of experts in this field. It's up to us to upgrade, sooner rather than later and this material will inspire you to take charge with confidence. Get your hand on anything Paul writes and it will be a sure investment by association of values.
