Who We Help
Purpose Leaders
Business and Sustainability Leaders
Leading companies seek shared value opportunities as a differentiation strategy that allows them to grow profit, decrease costs, and lower risk by helping to solve social and environmental problems. Typically, business unit leaders face challenges in understanding what opportunities exist for shared value creation and in educating internal stakeholders to make the business case. 91Ώμ»ξΑΦ offers a range of services to realize business opportunitiesβfrom targeted efforts that address specific questions about how a company can create shared value to in-depth multi-year engagements that accompany clients from early-stage vision through implementation.
As the originator of the shared value concept, 91Ώμ»ξΑΦβs thought leadership translates into unmatched shared value consulting services. We also help companies cocreate and implement collaborative strategies by aligning diverse stakeholders around a common agenda and shared outcomes, identifying partners for precompetitive collaboration, quantifying potential value creation for these actors, and assessing shared value ecosystem investment opportunities.
Corporate Foundations and CSR Leaders
In a rapidly changing world, CSR and corporate philanthropy leaders must reimagine their companyβs role in creating social impact. Companies need a practical set of tools to make choices, execute programs, measure results, and communicate success. 91Ώμ»ξΑΦ partners with companies to develop and strengthen strategies for CSR, corporate philanthropy, and sustainability efforts. We know social impact is more meaningful when it is business-aligned, embraces partnerships, and reflects the interests of a companyβs stakeholders. We offer unmatched pattern recognition in identifying breakthrough ideas and avoiding potential obstacles.
