“I apply the tools of econometrics a few times a year, but I apply my knowledge of the purpose of my life every day. It’s the single most useful thing I’ve ever learned. I promise my students that if they take the time to figure out their life purpose, they’ll look back on it as the most important thing they discovered at HBS. If they don’t figure it out, they will just sail off without a rudder and get buffeted in the very rough seas of life. Clarity about their purpose will trump knowledge of activity-based costing, balanced scorecards, core competence, disruptive innovation, the four Ps, and the five forces.”

CLAYTEN CHRISTENSENHARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”

RUMI

“And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?

RUMI

My PassionIn this context, what moves you, inspires you? What have you

learnt on your journey to give or teach others?

My Point

So what is the point of life? Why are we here?

My World

How do you see the reality? How does the

world work?

What were you born to do? What special sauce do you

bring to any situation? Where do you serve best?

My PurposeSPIRAL 0

Our Purpose

What is the reason the organisation exists?

How it can best serve? Who are you serving

and what is possible for them?

Skills & TalentsWith this purpose in

mind, what value do you offer the world - unique

skills, experiences, talents and capacities?

Where do you have virtuosity?

Vision & Values

Harnessing these, what is your vision for a better

world in 5-7 years time in the context of the world’s

problems? What 4 qualities do you value

most in this vision?

My Purpose

What is your reason for existing? What special sauce do you bring to

any situation? Where do you serve best?

‘Switched on’ people are either delusional or visionary.

Either way, they see a breakthrough where no-one else can see one.

BREAKTHROUGH

CHOLERA

Raise money to buy and deliver equipment (drill boreholes, pumps, lifestraws) to provide water. More

investment needed to maintain technology.

A billion people do not have clean water - cholera epidemics kill

hundreds of thousands.

New things / technology is the best way to solve problems.

Money solves problems.The people need help.

.

Focus investment on empowering and enabling people (with media tools, comms etc) to use it in

new ways to increase health - virally.

The Folded Sari

Existing equipment - the sari - can be re-purposed to solve problems.

The people need empowerment.

We design and sell computers as productivity maximers - they help businesses win.

Everyday people are not buying or using computers as much as they could.

Productivity is the goal of life. Technology helps us be more productive cogs in the

business machine (growing profits, GDP etc.)

We design and sell ‘computers’ as creativity maximisers - they help people thrive.

Think different with a Mac... (and its ecosystem)

Creativity is the goal of life. Technology can help liberate us, empower us and inspire us.

GILL HICKS

“We who lived in the concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
