I find it extremely important to talk about the significance of purpose, especially to young academics that are about to embark their corporate, business or further their academic careers. As a commitee member of World Innovation and Change Management Institute, last week I gave a lecture to the students of Caucasus University. The lecture was entitled "Purpose-Driven Business - The Future Of Business" during which I spoke about the economic value of purpose, the HOWs of generating stakeholder value and the growing necessity for rebuilding trust. All of this suggests that the future of business is clearly purpose-driven, but also that the future we are talking about is already happening now. The contribution of future professionals and academics in this shift is indispensible, particularly in the developing economies. However, it is up to us to share our own experience and knowledge to guide them and assist them on the way. Thanks to all who participated and showed interest in such a game-changing topic! #purposedrivenbusiness #businessstrategy #strategicnarrative

How can businesses and leaders across different sectors effectively navigate what can be competing or even conflicting motivational factors when seeking to implement innovative change, especially in reference to novel technologies? What role do environmental, societal, and economic aspects, play in this process? These are some of the points that our speaker, Adam McCarthy, PhD student in Science Technology and Innovation Policy at the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research, will explore during our upcoming workshop on 9 May. Adam's research focuses on the governance of emerging technologies for societal benefit. As Adam explains, "we need to collaboratively rise to address global, grand challenges using all the tools, skills, and technologies at our disposal, while remaining critical about their potential pitfalls. This is the essence of Responsible Innovation.” Adam will lead a practical exploration of how different #motivations need to align as part of responsible #innovation strategies, using a simplified version of a new tool that he has developed that enables a rapid, low-cost assessment of projects that considers environmental, societal, and economic factors, three key motivations for the commercialisation of new technology.

What a nice present for the end of the year - our publication "Guiding entrepreneurial ecosystems towards sustainability: identifying key changes and future research directions" which I had pleasure to write with Milena Ratajczak-Mrozek, Maja Sajdak and Marcin Wieczerzycki, has been published in the Journal of Organizational Change Management. Thank you for another great collaboration! The paper aims to identify the necessary transformations required to evolve entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) into sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems (SEEs) and to explore the primary challenges involved. Also it bridges the research concerning limited studies on SEEs by presenting a model that delineates the conditions for the development of SEE and identifies the requisite changes necessary to foster sustainability within the EE.
