Purpose Day

The annual Purpose European forum, by HEC Purpose Center.

The place where researchers, corporates, investors and regulators work together to translate Purpose into authentic action.

Banniere Purpose day

Over the past years, there has been an explosion of interest in purpose-driven leadership. Academics, leaders and  business experts make the case that purpose-based organizations are able to unleash human and business potential. Then, it is time to discuss the ways to elaborate and incarnate Purpose, its actual effects, and the conditions for making the most of it:

How can purpose best be elaborated and embodied?
Does purpose bring positive change within teams and for team members?
What impact does purpose have on stakeholders?
