In the world of business, some believe that bending values to meet market demands is a necessity. I argue that it's a path to oblivion. In 2018, I met a dynamic entrepreneur, Sarah, who had a revolutionary idea for sustainable packaging. Her passion was infectious, and her prototype was promising. But, as her business began to grow, investors pressured her to compromise on her sustainable values for cheaper, less eco-friendly materials to boost margins. This was the turning point where Sarah had to make a tough choice. Sarah's story isn't unique. Many founders face similar crossroads where their core values clash with business growth demands. I've observed that those who stay true to their values not only foster a stronger brand identity but also build a loyal customer base and a more dedicated team. Sarah chose to stick to her sustainable ethos. This decision initially slowed her growth but eventually, it paid off. Her brand became synonymous with sustainability, attracting customers who shared her vision. Her company’s growth trajectory outpaced competitors who chose short-term gains over the long-term. This brings us to a common challenge: balancing growth with values. I believe that the key lies in strategic planning that doesn't just focus on financials but also on value alignment. It's about finding innovative solutions that uphold your core values while scaling your business. Remember this: Success is fleeting, but values are eternal. Integrity, authenticity, and purpose are not just buzzwords; they are the cornerstones of an enduring businesses. So, what tough choices have you made that align with your values, even if they meant a slower path to success?

Founder & Chief Experience Officer | High-Quality, High-Impact Experiences | Business of design & the design of business
Making people redundant to claim profitability might just be the oldest trick in the business book. Sure, cost cutting is a great exercise when needed, but it's not real growth. You can innovate, or you can reduce costs. For some businesses that don't have the innovation mindset or executive skill and imagination, cost reduction seems like the only viable route. I've seen time and time again brands reduced to shells, experiences take a nosedive, and great talent and futures lost to eek out a little more for shareholders and arbitrary targets today. What a shame. Lasting growth comes from protecting people, reputation, and your ability to innovate. Thankfully there's plenty of innovation, desire to create impact, and entrepreneurial drive still to be found, even if you have to look a bit harder to find it. #designforimpact #business #innovation #growth

Ever heard the saying, 'If you're not flexible, you'll get bent out of shape'? Well, in the ever-shifting world of business, that couldn't be more accurate. The key to survival and thriving lies in staying adaptable. The business landscape is a chameleon, constantly changing its colors and patterns. As entrepreneurs, we must be like chameleons too, ready to adjust our strategies on a moment's notice. Whether it's a new technology disrupting the market or unforeseen global events, adaptability is our superpower. It's not about having a fixed path; it's about having the agility to forge a new one when needed. Embrace change, stay nimble, and watch your business not just survive but thrive in the face of evolution.
