Early in 2015, we released this white paper, in which Movéo Vice President of Strategy and Planning Kevin Randall took a closer look at the relationship between purpose and business success. He shows that organizations need higher purposes that speak to three “COR” audiences: Customers, the Organization and the Rest of the world.

In 2016, organizational purpose will continue to set organizations apart. Will yours be one of them? Whatever your marketing is selling, it also represents an organization that has a larger impact. So in the coming year, work with others at your company to make your purpose clear.
