At Dare Strategy, we genuinely believe that we ALL must strive to create exceptional value through both our existence and our work. We also believe that the very foundation of any business should be one that has a central focus on creating value at all times: ABCV – Always Be Creating Value. This should be part of any organisations core mission. If it’s not, this will lead a business down a short, narrow and rocky path that is doomed for failure.
Organisations with purpose are clear about their relationship to the world and the impact they want to make. They understand how societal value is created, protected and enabled in relation to the profit formula. Their innovations deliver blended value, tangibly and at scale. They are redefining accountability through their approach to reporting and stakeholders.
We believe organisations should be free of politics, bureaucracy; free of stress and burnout; free of resentment and apathy. We believe work should be productive, fulfilling and meaningful. We believe in creating soulful workplaces, where talents can blossom (Frederic Laloux).
If a business aspires to continue into the indefinite future, it can no longer be hesitant or half-hearted about sustainability: it has to go “All In” (David Grayson). We have both the skill and the will to partner with a range of other organisations including other businesses, NGOs, social enterprises, public sector agencies and academia because we believe it is the only way to drive sustainability at speed and scale.
Elevating humanity through business begins with knowing WHY your company exists. Businesses should exist for reasons beyond just making a profit. We see profit as a necessary means to achieving your purpose—not as an end in and of itself. Conscious businesses are galvanized by higher purposes that serve, align, and integrate the interests of all their major stakeholders. Their higher state of consciousness makes visible to them the interdependencies that exist across all stakeholders, allowing them to harvest synergies (Raj Sisodia).
We believe that to understand a system one must analyse the linkages and interactions between the elements that comprise the whole of the system. We encourage exploring inter-relationships (context and connections), perspectives (each actor has their own unique perception of the situation) and boundaries (agreeing on scope, scale and what might constitute an improvement). It’s been said that systems thinking is one of the key management competencies for the 21st century. As our world becomes ever more tightly interwoven globally and as the pace of change continues to increase, we will all need to become increasingly “system-wise.” (Daniel Kim)
We believe leaders should empower people and inspire them. Compassionate leaders inspire greater collaboration and commitment. They build trust relationships at all levels (Richard Boyatzis). At this time of planetary crisis, we are all called to step into regenerative leadership. It starts by leading our own lives regeneratively in service to our communities and to the wider community of life (D. C. Wahl).
