This week the ‘father’ of the Net Promotor Score (NPS), one of the most widely admired and used measures of customer impact, Fried Reichheld,  speaks to us about the next wave of customer focus- Customer Capitalism and NPV 3.0. Great companies help people lead great lives- they are a force for good. At their core they have a strong sense of purpose— to enrich the lives of every customer they touch. Not just a slogan, but as described by Fred, a systematic approach to building your company and systems with the customer front and centre. He talks us through why an enlightened understanding of the Golden Rule provides the bedrock principle underpinning Customer Capitalism and why this serves as the foundation for generating good and sustainable profits!  ** If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Evolutionary Biology gives us the scientific underpinning to find a common and unifying approach to the changes we need in our economic theory and business practices. Join David Sloan Wilson this week for a fascinating deep dive into the science supporting Conscious Capitalism. Hear about the leading edge thinking the world desperately needs to turn into business practice. Human survival and evolution of our social structures have always been built on co-operation and increasingly we understand how small and appropriately structured groups (hear David’s design principles) optimize performance versus the myth of nature red in tooth and claw. We never thought we would hear the words ‘chicken experiment’ and Conscious Capitalism in the same sentence (at 11:23)! ** If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
