have you Asked Yourself

What is the Purpose of Work and Organizations?

At The Good Place Institute, we guide leaders and organizations through training and consulting to answer this question, develop a more holistic definition of success, and redeem their work.

We understand what it’s like to long for more in our work.

Many are aimlessly pursuing their work without a deeper purpose. Have you ever thought that there is more to work than making a lot of money? What if there was a way to approach our work and measure success against a different standard? What would it look like to have a vision for valuing people, leading organizations, and impacting communities in a way that makes a difference in the world?

At The Good Place Institute, we believe there is a different way—and it’s truly good.

From our perspective, simply applying traditional strategic planning was not enough to produce the value we wanted. After working with GPI, we changed the way we conducted our business to better value our people allowing them to flourish, we became better aware of our internal systems and their interactions, becoming more profitable but also positively impacting our clients, our stakeholders, and the communities where we do business.
