On December 7th, 2012, the world's foremost purpose-inspired business leaders will convene in Atlanta, Georgia to jointly take on the crucial business challenge of our times: finding a fruitful balance between a corporation's need for profit and its responsibility to make the world a better place.
Business is now part of every human endeavor - we have a responsibility and the unique ability to elevate society; to make more good more available to more people.
Societal performance leads to financial performance. Companies with a deeper purpose perform 1025% better than S&P 500 Companies. When business makes positive contributions to societal well being, it will encounter its true purpose and experience genuine prosperity. Purpose drives profit, people and the planet.
Taking care of business means coming together to take care of others.
BrightHouse CEO Joey Reiman will deliver his keynote, “Can Business Save the World.” Following, the GPS panel of visionary leaders will share best practices, financial and social results, as well personal stories reconciling the contradiction between economic and social value.
Through an open panel dialogue, purpose-inspired C-suite executives and leaders will address the power of Purpose – emphasizing that to succeed today, business must be both a financial force as well as a force for good - and enlist attendees in a journey to: build a new model for business, identify new mentors for business, and create new measures for business - all in service of the business we call life.
GPS is the new coordinates for business.
