Purpose and Values Discovery

Beyond profitability, why does your organization exist? What makes you distinct, unique, or better from another? Why should anyone buy from you, invest in you, recommend you, or join your organization?

Articulating your purpose and values will not only answer these questions but will further lead to consistent internal decision-making, educate clients and potential customers about what you stand for, and aid in recruiting new talent who aligns with your culture. Your organization’s purpose and values become your North Star and the ability to chart a course for the future. As such, a unified understanding of this purpose and values is foundational to growth, especially in times of great change and challenge.

The Importance of Articulating Purpose and Values for Your Organization

According to a recent PwC study, the majority (79%) of business leaders surveyed believe that an organization’s purpose is central to business success. Further, this same group shared that purpose is not used as a filter for decision-making within the organization.

With current generations five times more likely to stay with an organization that has an established purpose that they can connect to, having a clearly identified sense of purpose and values is an organizational necessity. Organizations that do this right have the potential to improve employee engagement, productivity, and retention by fostering a shared and inspiring culture grounded on a succinct purpose and reinforced with aligned values.
