Our Big Idea

Developing people, equipping them with the capabilities they need to flourish, is not only key to business success; it is what will make the most positive difference in our world — it is the ultimate contribution an organization can make to society.

Capable People: The Essential Contribution of Modern Organizations

We believe when developing people is a conscious value and integrated practice in an organization, it drives individual growth + business success + social contribution. We envision a world in which the conscious practice of people development in the workplace is a recognized and incentivized form of social contribution. As an executive, you understand the power of investing in people. Developing your team’s full capabilities isn’t just good for business; it’s an important contribution to society. When your employees grow, they become better at human relationships—at work, at home, and within their communities.

In today’s world, business is increasingly seen as a force for good. This is your opportunity—and responsibility—to lead the way. By consciously developing your people, you’re not just driving success; you’re making a meaningful social contribution. 

Lead with purpose. Invest in your people. And watch as your organization thrives—inside and out.

Why is this a Big Idea?

Companies make an important contribution to society when developing their people’s full capabilities—which in turn, helps their people become better at being human and better at human relationships at work, at home, and in society. As the world looks to business to be a force for good, we believe leaders will increasingly see the opportunity and responsibility to consciously develop their people for success + for social contribution.

What research shows and what business knows is that the environment that is best for human learning and development is also best for optimal productivity, engagement, and growth.

It’s time to elevate the role of the modern workplace as a place for conscious human connection and development.
