This presentation offers a fractal template for building a "PEOPLE-Before-Profit" Economy as well as Ecosystem. In simple terms, a PEOPLE-Before-Profit Economy involves exchanges and transactions in which the value of people especially employees and customers are placed first in lieu of short-term profit. This approach of PEOPLE Before Profit contrasts the traditional approach of Profit Before PEOPLE.
It is increasingly being realized that a culture of Profit Before PEOPLE creates "Bad Value" and in particular, "Bad Profit." Although a business may experience short-term profitability, the approach of Profit Before PEOPLE leads to high employee turnover, competitive disadvantage, and environmental degradation. Consequently, more and more people are looking for alternatives to the traditional approach of Profit Before PEOPLE.
The approach of PEOPLE Before Profit is not entirely new. Many authors or groups have been proposing ideas to disrupt or complement the approach of Profit Before PEOPLE. Approaches include Corporate Social Responsibility, Triple Bottom Line, Shared Value, Bottom of the Pyramid, Social Entrepreneurship, Conscious Capitalism, and Good Profit. However, there has not been any vibrant community outlining and driving an agenda of PEOPLE Before Profit. This is where Brad Fergusson and the PEOPLE Before Profit Group come in.
As Brad Fergusson usually comments, the PEOPLE Before Profit Group is a startup. In a recent article on LinkedIn, Brad summarized his vision for the PEOPLE Before Profit Group. I realized that Brad's paradigm of PEOPLE Before Profit extends to all projects and ventures focusing on PEOPLE Before Profit. In other words, the paradigm of PEOPLE Before Profit is a fractal. I therefore decided to visually summarize Brad's article and vision using my tool of the House of Strategy.
There are many advantages in using a House of Goals & Strategy (HoGS) to present the vision of PEOPLE Before Profit. For one, the House of Goals & Strategy is a one-page document that comprehensively illustrates the key parts of a project including its vision, purpose, core values, and strategy. Consequently, the WHO, WHY, WHAT, and HOW of the PEOPLE Before Profit paradigm can be rapidly understood and shared. Also, business models can be systematically developed using the House of Goals & Strategy as a frame of reference.
