The current economic model reinforces a culture where business models / behavior and legal designs prioritize profit over people.
Many organisations are now operating in environments where trust, engagement, resilience, and long-term workforce sustainability are under increasing pressure.
The result is a widening gap:
The Problem: Economic and organisational progress has not translated into equivalent improvements in human thriving, connection, and day-to-day experience at work.
Addressing this gap requires a broader shift in how organisations define success, responsibility, and long-term value.
Financial performance remains essential, but increasingly organisations are recognising that long-term organisational performance is heavily influenced by the quality of the environment people operate within.
Strategy: Encouraging organisations to operate not only as economic engines, but also as environments that shape human thriving, relationships, and the experience of work.
The Shift: Moving beyond narrow shareholder primacy (where only owners matter) toward stakeholder value, where the well-being and thriving of workers, teams, customers, and communities are treated as part of organisational performance.
As organisations increasingly recognise their impact on human thriving, accountability expands beyond financial performance alone.
This includes greater attention to leadership, organisational culture, ways of working, and the long-term sustainability of the workforce.
Intermediary Step: Organisational success is measured not only through economic outcomes, but also through the quality of the human experience created by the organisation.
Accountability: Leadership, culture, decision-making, and ways of working are increasingly evaluated through both business performance and human outcome
The long-term vision is a working world where organisational success and human thriving reinforce one another rather than compete with one another.
The Outcome: Work becomes an environment that supports healthier relationships, sustainable performance, growth, contribution, and long-term human thriving.
The Result: Organisations, teams, and communities become more resilient, adaptive, connected, and capable of helping people thrive.
The goal is to help create a working world where organisational success and human thriving reinforce one another rather than compete with one another.
