Why does your organisation exist?

Jay Shetty is an award-winning storyteller, podcaster and former monk who is making wisdom go viral. I have been listening to the Jay Shetty Podcast, “On Purpose” over the last couple of years, I think that it’s fascinating to hear a former monk interviewing global stars from his LA base with a British accent.


According to the Oxford English Dictionary, “purpose” is a noun and means the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists. Here’s how I could design an “On Purpose” workshop that fits your organization:

Does your purpose:
-       Address an industry problem?
-       Inspire a community?
-       Disrupt the marketplace?
-       Make the world a better place?

 

I would then split you up into groups, teams or departments and ask:
-       What do we care about?
-       Why do we do the work that we do?
-       What really matters?
-       What is the purpose of our organization?
-       What do we want for the future of this groups, teams or department
-       What can we give that really matters to the world?


After establishing what your organization does with something that really matters in the 21st century. I would ask questions like these:
-      How does your purpose link to really significant, worthwhile issues, challenges and needs in the world?
-      How clear and alive are those issues in the minds of your people?
