Take on Board - governing for profit and purpose
Take on Board is the podcast where we talk all things Boards and governance.
What if, there was no such thing as ‘for-purpose business’, because it was simply just ‘business’? What if, every business contributed to creating a more inclusive and equitable society?
Our guest speaker at this event is Tara Anderson. In this session, we’ll explore what boards need to think about in governing with the heart of the not-for-profit organisation and the head of a corporate. The good news is that there are thousands of these businesses already out there, right around the world. But balancing financial sustainability and purpose in practice is really tricky – arguably much harder than running a traditional business where the main metric is profit.
To get the balance between financial sustainability and purpose right, we need to go right to the heart of strategy. We need to look at business model design. And this is also at the heart of board work.
Come along as we explore this, and you’ll also get access to a wonderful practical 'For-Purpose Business Model' workbook.
At this event you’ll also get the chance to be part of this by asking questions.
You’ll also get to meet some of the Take on Board community not only from Australia, but across the world!
Let us know if you have any queries – otherwise, we look forward to seeing you there!
