From the Boardroom: Making Purpose Research Relevant for Practice

The author thanks David Chandler for his editorial guidance as well Matt Kraatz and Willie Ocasio for organizing the Illinois Strategic Organizations Initiative event in Chicago (May 2022). Comments and remarks collected during this event (in particular Ruth Aguilera’s, Sarah Kaplan’s, and Joe Mahoney’s) helped develop the paper. Finally, the author extends sincere thanks to all the Purpose Center’s Research Group at the Society and Organizations Institute (HEC Paris) for their support and reflections. Special mention to PhD students Pauline Asmar, Chang-Wa Huynh, and Harry Munro-Clark.
