We explored lots of topics this year: From purpose-driven remote work structures to the role of business during crisis, exiting to community-ownership, self-managing organizations, the 4-day work week, and regenerative marketing. As this is our last issue of the year, we wanted to give you a quick overview of everything we published in 2022. Scroll down and dive in!
The pandemic made remote work normal, but how can purpose-driven businesses leverage remote work in the right way to empower employees and push inclusivity and workplace well-being? In this issue, we shared some useful tools and tips.
US-based, social enterprise Everytable is on a mission to make fresh, nutritious meals affordable to everyone. The company's Robin Hood pricing model and its innovative franchise system which empowers entrepreneurs from marginalized communities offer various learnings and inspiration for building a more equitable way of doing business.
What role can businesses play in a world faced with more and more crises? Airbnb's innovative disaster response tool gives some great insights into how purpose-driven brands can leverage their resources to help those in need during and after catastrophic events.
As the basic structures of our current economic system are further breaking down, one thing becomes crystal clear: The business world needs new frameworks & tools! So this issue offered an overview of what we think are super useful tools that will help you design your business for sustainability, inclusivity, and wellbeing.
After we heard that BrewDog received more than 1,000 job applications in the 10 days after publishing its so-called 'New Business Blueprint', we had to dive into the brewery's report outlining its plans to pioneer a new way of doing business.
Entrepreneurs usually don't start and build companies for the sake of getting rid of them. But that's essentially the typical lifecycle of a startup: pre-seed > seed > series a... > aaand exit. And once an exit is done, these businesses often lose their character and purpose. What if there is an alternative? In this issue, we looked at the intersection of community-ownership and web3 tools, enabling companies to exit to their community. Our best-performing newsletter issue of the year!
The pandemic changed where we work. Are we now changing how much we work? Companies across the globe are trialing or permanently implementing 4-day work weeks and employees are loving it. But how does a company make 4-day the new normal, in a purpose-driven way? In this issue, we gave you a rundown of 10 important things to consider.
While being on the lookout for new or ignored business philosophies and practices we came across NER or 'nuevo estilo de relaciones', an organizational framework that focuses on self-management and employee empowerment. As companies using NER are highly successful and purpose-driven, we dove into the concept providing you with a brief guide on how to create a self-managing business using NER.
Tea brand Tazo made headlines with an innovative regenerative marketing campaign in which the company announced its full transition to a regenerative business approach. We dove into the nitty-gritty of Tazo's new approach showcasing, in particular, how companies can implement regenerative principles into their marketing practices.
While businesses seem to be increasingly ready to redefine their role in society, many organizations still struggle to transition from genuine intention to real action when it comes to embracing a purpose-driven business approach. So how can one tackle this purpose gap? Our colleague Franzi developed a free and easy-to-use tool that can help companies assess and overcome their internal barriers in order to go all-in on purpose.
That's all our issues from this year!
