Creating the conditions for a flourishing economy
Our research works towards a vision of a flourishing economy: a model in which long-term business success, societal wellbeing and environmental resilience reinforce one another to create lasting prosperity.
Achieving this transformation requires more than incremental change. It requires rethinking how organisations create value, how leaders make decisions, how capital is allocated and how markets reward positive outcomes.
This understanding forms the basis of our Theory of Change.
We believe systemic change happens when four interconnected parts of the economy evolve together:
- Businesses must discover new ways to create value through positive impact.
- Leaders must develop the capabilities needed to navigate complexity and drive transformation.
- Financial systems must direct capital towards organisations generating meaningful impact.
- Markets must make positive outcomes visible, measurable and valuable.
A Connected System
While each pathway addresses a distinct part of the economy, none operates in isolation.
New business models require visionary leadership. Leadership depends on supportive investment. Investment relies on markets that recognise and reward positive outcomes. And markets evolve through innovation created by businesses.
Our research is designed to address these forces as an integrated system. By advancing knowledge across four pathways, we aim to generate the evidence, tools and insights needed to accelerate the transition to a flourishing economy — one where impact and prosperity grow together.
