Purpose: Changing
Collective Self Image
of the Company
9th-10th of June 2015

PARK ROYAL PALACE
Vienna
What originally started in the U.S. as the local real-estate
crisis, has spread around the civilised world, mutated
overtime and escalated into a “crisis of values” dramatically
changing the relation between business and society.
Tables turned and power has shifted from organisations to
individuals and consumers are looking for brands, products
and services they truly can trust. Even well reputed and
renowned organisations that have been around for decades
are facing an existential question: Are we going to be around
in ten years time?
Business leaders have to redefine their company values
hidden in the heritage of every organisation and search for
the moral purpose for existence, since doing business as
usual is not enough anymore. The 21st century is the era of
engaged leadership and business leaders have to move on
from awareness and understanding to real engagement.
Now more than ever before, organisations are in need of
leaders with humanity and wisdom.
As leaders move forward with a new business case, it is the
role of HR to provide strategic guidance and counsel from a
human capital perspective. In this scenario, HR has a very
important and challenging role to pursue: The return to “the
human side of enterprise”.
