Social Innovation – redefining Business’s relationship with Society

Описание: The Talk
The Covid-19 pandemic has shone a sometimes uncomfortable light on the fragility of the relationships between some businesses, the consumers who buy their products and the communities these businesses state they serve.
However, this pandemic also gives businesses a unique opportunity to start to firmly and positively redefine this relationship, moving it towards one genuinely based on trust, respect and mutual benefit. This presentation will discuss how social innovation can play a key role in helping to redefine this relationship, with businesses using their commercial weight and resources to support and invest in social innovation – innovation that works both for communities and business.

Host of ‘The New P&L – Principles & Leadership in Business’ podcast series and founder of applied creative thinking consultancy, Amplifier Group, Paul Spiers is a speaker, presenter and panel moderator on topics and trends around Principles & Leadership in Business as well as the growing field of Commercial Creativity™ and business innovation.
After a career as senior executive and entrepreneur and in the creative services, marketing communications and reputation management sectors; a career-defining and life-changing series of events led Paul to re-evaluate where he was heading professionally as well as the core principles and leadership characteristics that underpin businesses today. As a result, in 2019, Paul launched ‘The New P&L - Principles & Leadership in Business’ podcast series.
Paul believes business needs a ‘New P&L’: one that is as much focused on ‘Principles &Leadership’ as it is on ‘Profit&Loss’ as they believe that if a business’s Principles are right and aligned with purpose, and its Leadership has clarity of vision & is strong, focused & empathetic, then the business will be in profit and not in loss in many ways.

He challenges them to think deeply on the issues and opportunities around principles and leadership in business and how they, as leaders and influencers, can works towards building more principled, productive, collaborative and ultimately, successful businesses - ones that encourage great, inspirational leaders and passionate, motivated teams.
