"Purpose is clarified, not created"
We speak with Ross Hastings, the Managing Director of Ne-Lo Consulting, about how purpose-led strategy decisions can unify and empower teams.
Ne-Lo is an organisation centred on purpose - from purpose discovery, to the development of a purpose-driven strategy for greater alignment.
At Foundstone, we're about being human-centric, as we actively listen and involve other perspectives to achieve strategy decision-making clarity.
Our conversation with Ross paints the picture of the overlap between our Open Strategy approach, and purpose-driven strategic decision-making.
