What is the Living Charter Journey?
and are you ready for it?
Impact leaders are answering the call to build responsible companies and lean into stewardship by caring for the planet and people.
But realizing such a deep purpose is challenging in a rapidly changing world. Can an embodied purpose become both future-proof and future-kind? If so, how?
What is purpose? It is the way your company, its operations, its strategies embodies nature's stewardship principles - how will you tend to the future?
We have developed the Living Charter Journey as an immersive and paradigm shifting process that support leaders in bringing clarity, alignment and developing a pragmatic roadmap to create the conditions for the enterprise to express a stewardship mindset of holding its purpose with intent.
How It Works
We guide you through exercises and activities to discover the deep purpose, locating the ecology of place and roles, and aligning your business strategy (both operations and growth) to affect the purpose grounded in values. And from there flows through focusing energy on in terms of how we will change and looking at relationships, looking at how we are connected.
Through this engagement, we explore purpose, culture, governance and participation from the perspective of building the enterprise as a living, breathing organism (which is how we exist in nature). What we discover will create the conditions and activate the potential for the bylaws, ownership model and operational procedures to embody the values and intentions revealed for the enterprise.
There are four stages of the Living Charter Journey:
What is this paradigm shift? What is the purpose? Why do you exist? There is an evolutionary process that the company is going to go through which defines the foundational tenets of that process. It's important that our engagement with relationships is communal, and that includes this shifting of the mindset of becoming members among the living world in the pursuit of this particular purpose.
What will I walk away with?
After the Living Charter Journey, you’ll be able to . . .
Reflect and recharge on the visioning and direction setting of the organization and find congruency;
Confidently and effectively communicate your organization's purpose to attract the right partners and opportunities;
Understand the ecology of your enterprise and acknowledge place, roles and responsibilities;
Identify the appropriate governance framework for organization health in the long-term; and
Begin a new era leading a regenerative purpose-built enterprise from the heart!
You’ll have in your toolkit artifacts that will empower you to hold . . .
A clear and impactful description of the core DNA and purpose of the Company
A deep awareness of the relationships and networks within the ecosystem of the Company and the energy flows, identifying key pain and leverage points
A pragmatic purpose roadmap for the long-term implementation of the vision at hand complete with phases and assessments related to the fitting organizational and legal structures, financial capital, culture formation approach and governance design.
When is the right time to act?
We've identified three leverage points where this journey can be most impactful:
(a) when you are at inception of launching;
(b) when you are at an inflection point; and
(c) when the company is facing an impasse in growth, sustainability, culture formation and innovation.
How do I know if I’m ready?
The Living Charter Journey calls on you if you find yourself grappling with any of these questions:
“I am not clear on our purpose and need to ground it in our relationship with the living world.”
“I don't know how to build the enterprise in a regenerative manner.”
I need a strategy for business succession planning or an exit strategy that aligns with my values.”
“I'm not interested in giving lip service to checking ESG boxes for reporting, I want to demonstrate tangible social, environmental and financial transformation.”
“I want to evolve the company into a thriving ecosystem of opportunity and impact for all stakeholders.”
“Strategic planning has left us with a bunch of paperwork but no tangible results that will generate well into the future.”
If any of these thoughts resonate with where you are on your company journey and you are at a crossroads, then the Living Charter Journey may be right for you.
Going through this process activates you to move your operations and goals into the movement of conscious and responsible businesses committing to transformational and heart-led change.
