FROM HARDCORE BUSINESS TO HEARTCORE BUSINESS

New times create new needs - and new needs require new solutions. The age of globalisation has opened the doors to a world of opportunities - and a world of apparent paradoxes: 

  • Consumers go for discount and are ethically aware.
  • Employees search for both material welfare and personal development.
  • Companies are expected to do good while making a profit.
  • Public institutions deliver welfare solutions and are run like a business.
  • Non-profit organisations use market methods to create social value.

Paradoxes lead to new logics and practices that can create both material and immaterial growth and welfare. They lead to innovative solutions to modern society's problems and needs. Making it possible capitalists and idealists to create value that benefits both humanity and the bottom line.
