The big challenge facing today’s organizations

Organizations across the globe are experiencing a culture crisis that threatens their competitive advantage and long-term sustainability.

Despite their well-articulated vision and values statements, most companies struggle to translate these principles into daily practices.

This misalignment creates a cascade of costly consequences: employee disengagement reaches critical levels, top talent walks out the door, and organizational reputation suffers in an increasingly transparent marketplace.

Change initiatives meet resistance because employees have already seen too many failed attempts.

Whether you’re a leader seeking to inspire your team, an entrepreneur aiming to build a purpose-driven company, or an individual striving to make a meaningful impact, the books of the Navigating Purpose Collection provide a clear roadmap.

Why two books? Codify Your Purpose shows the process to codify your purpose (the WHAT), while the Pictorial Atlas of 101 Purpose Statements inspires by showing how successful purpose statements look in practice (the HOW).

The Purpose-Driven Business Canvas is a visual thinking tool for entrepreneurs and leadership teams, designed to bridge the gap between words and actions.

Available in English, Deutsch, French, and Italian, the canvas helps translate purpose into shared understanding, concrete choices, and coherent behaviors, supporting organizations in building purpose-driven cultures and future-proof companies.

By working on purpose as a strategic narrative, the canvas enables entrepreneurs to own the narrative internally, align people around it, and turn purpose into meaningful, measurable impact.
