I'm not seeing business as the monster that i was. And governments definitely too slow. Are you seeing signs that businesses are influencing the overall trajectory of the systemic change we need in ways that government could do? Wut isn't yes. So ark gove, some examples. Iam on instogram, which is obviously a massively commercial platform. Based on your interest, you get, ofviously, fed adverts that are lined with your past behaviors. You're seeing these kinds of cultural or societl shifts reflected back by many companies. May be often smaller companies that can take the risks.
In a world where governments are failing on all levels, can regenerative business be the change we need to see in the world? Can the new wave of meaningful work create the sense of coherence and community and connectedness to the earth that we need to take us forward?
Nathalie Nahai is host of The Hive podcast, author of two books, international speaker and consultant with businesses big and small. Her clients have included Unilever, Google, Accenture and Harvard Business Review, among many others.
Her most recent book, 'Business Unusual: Values, Uncertainty and the Psychology of Brand Resilience', opens up worlds of business where profit is not the only motive, where psychological safety, meaning and solidarity are core business values and businesses are learning to walk their talk. In a world where government is failing so completely to address the many crises of our time, we spent an hour discussing whether business can fill that gap, and if so, how? When it is such a huge part of our lives, when the entire neoliberal model seems to be predicated on a cycle of wage-slavery followed by meaningless consumption, can work bring us back to balance with ourselves, each other and the ecosystems of which we are an integral part?
