On Purpose runs leadership programmes that help people change the world through the work they do and the lives they lead.
Our Vision and Mission
Our world needs an economy that works for all and operates within the means of our planet, without the injustices of today. This requires a fundamental shift, led by people who transform the organisations in which they work, from an economy of profit to an economy of purpose: an economy that serves the wellbeing of all, now and for all time.&nbsp;
We are the home for these leaders: a community that develops, challenges and sustains itself and others to help bring about such an economy.
