パーパス（存在意義）

What Is the Purpose of Business?

Your organizational purpose rests at the intersection of who you are and what need you fulfill in the world. It’s the underlying reason your organization exists.

We think of it this way: While mission and vision may change over time, your company’s purpose will not. Your organizational purpose is timeless. Purpose is a company’s reason for being, beyond what it does, makes, or sells.

Mission: What do we do?

Vision: Where are we going?

Purpose: Why do we exist?

クライアントの多くが、企業の進化におけるきわめて重要な時期に、組織のあり方や意義を明確にしたり、方向性を一致させて団結を図ったりするために、パーパスを定義しようとします。大規模な トランスフォーメーションに際して行う企業もあります。リーダー交代にともなって行う企業もあります。ターンアラウンドや事業の加速といった組織の軌道の変曲点で実施する企業もあります。

私たちは、クライアントのパーパス発見を支援するため、既存の業容や商品・サービスの範囲を超えて考えます。クライアントが世の中にもたらす価値の核心をとらえるインサイトを発掘するのです。そして、クライアントが自社の事業や機会をはるかに広範なレンズで見られるようにします。

そのうえでパーパスを活性化し組織全体――従業員とカルチャー、戦略とオペレーション、ブランディングとコミュニケーション――に埋め込む必要があります。パーパスを組織全体に浸透させてはじめて、自社の業績へのインパクトを十分実現できるのです。

How We Help You Excavate and Live Your Business Purpose

1. Discover. We start by excavating and uncovering the truth about your organization. We interview your people, rigorously research your existing messaging, and conduct surveys to better define and articulate the authentic strengths of your company. We then take an external view, bringing in luminaries to help us uncover the need in the world that your organization is uniquely positioned to fulfill.
2. Articulate. Drawing on the insights from our luminary network, as well as the organizational insights gathered through our rigorous fact-finding and analysis, we help derive your timeless purpose. We craft a memorable, authentic, and inspiring purpose statement and story.
3. Activate. Next, we look to your leadership team to begin seeding your purpose throughout the organization. We partner with your leaders to help them find ways to live your organizational purpose more fully.
4. Embed. As soon as leaders start embodying and championing purpose, it’s time to transform the entire organization’s culture, strategy, and branding through a purpose-driven lens. Purpose is implemented by fully integrating it into ways of working, enabling employees to become more emotionally connected and to feel a deeper sense of meaning in their work.
