We believe in the power of purpose for businesses to become a little better each day.
Why do we want to invest our energy and time in this community?
We love researching the potential of purpose for businesses - however, we do not want to do it alone in our basements. We are two passionate researchers who believe that theory and practice are not just connected—they ignite each other. Together, they fuel innovation and create knowledge that can shape the future for countless practitioners. That's why we’re launching a vibrant community platform designed to bridge the gap between research and real-world application.
Our mission is to learn from the experiences of professionals, uncover meaningful patterns, and translate them into practical, everyday insights. We're captivated by the role of practitioners and constantly inspired by the questions that drive us all. We believe that by coming together, we can create a powerful space for collaboration, curiosity, and growth. This platform is where ideas can flourish, and we invite you to join us on this exciting journey to think, learn, and innovate together.
...we develop together frameworks helping future generations to enact purpose in businesses.
...we create a better understanding for what a CPO role is about, what kind of responsibilities it has and what kind of challenges need to be managed
...we contribute in purpose not becoming a hype without action in businesses.
