This module is about how purpose matters to all businesses and it focuses on how that purpose must go farther than simply growth, expansion or bank statements. We want everyone who is involved in a business to find it valuable.
Purpose-driven Business
An organizations’ purpose should benefit a part of society, inspire and motivate its workers and involve and direct all its stakeholders.
Work is not just about getting things done, it’s more about making lives better.

- The difference between traditional and modern goal setting.
- How to use the IKIGAI model to discover your purpose.
