Surely you have already participated in a Challenge of Purpose Alliance. Thus began my adventure, trying to improve the future of future of work.

I signed up for the challenge with the expectation of meeting people with similar interests, new tools and innovation methodologies. However, after it was over, I was thrilled to have met
Doers
: empowered people like you, who are making a massive impact in the world, with zero impossibilities, a vision and clarity that inspires. Extraordinary people, members of a growing community who want to make a positive impact on the world.

The three hours dedicated to the challenge focused on solving a global problem, ignited my soul and encouraged me to continue learning in order to contribute to a better world and support others to do so as well.

I understood the importance of purpose in organizations and people; the North Star that expresses why we exist, what defines us and how we work. When you are an entrepreneur, it is easy to encounter difficult times, but having a purpose helps you get through them.

This discovery mixed with my curiosity for exponential technologies and passion for building our future, motivated me first to be part of the first edition of the

along with the commitment of my peers, I would feel very bad if I had not taken the opportunity. Because most regrets come from the things we don’t do:

What would have happened if I had done …? What if I had studied …?

When it comes to following your passion, the best investment you can make is to make the effort to fulfill your dreams.

What surprised me most about the program
Purpose Launchpad
Mentor?

Purpose Launchpad goes beyond bringing together methodologies and best practices, it modifies your thinking to redefine and co-create our future.

It focuses on learning as an organization and as individuals.

It is designed for doers, not dreamers.

How would you describe Purpose Launchpad in one sentence?

Purpose Launchpad is magic. It is not a magic formula!

What is Purpose Launchpad for?

To evolve an early-stage idea or startup into a purpose-driven and/or Exponential Organization.

What is
Purpose Launchpad
?

A meta-methodology/open mind-set that helps entrepreneurs and companies of all types develop purpose-driven – and eventually exponential – organizations to create massive impact in the world.

• Purpose: The beginning of everything, which gives continuous meaning to our project.

• People: We develop both the internal team and the communities we connect with to facilitate the development of our purpose and/or business, applying processes such as Design Thinking and empathy maps.

• Customer: We incorporate techniques such as, for example, Customer Development to discover the type of customer and the needs we need to address.

• Abundance: We apply different ExO (Exponential Organizations) attributes to connect and manage abundance properly.

• Sustainability: We ensure that we can develop a sustainable business model, while defining and implementing the right investment model.

• Processes: Ideas are worthless, it is the execution that matters. We implement agile methodologies and the necessary processes to execute the initiative in the right way.

• Product: It is necessary to iteratively develop products, starting with tools such as the Value Proposition Canvas and MVP (Minimum Viable Product) development.

• Metrics: It is useless to act if we do not measure in order to learn. We implement approaches such as Innovation Accounting.

Now that you know the magic, stop dreaming about it and create your Exponential and/or Purpose Driven Organization. At Purpose Alliance we are here to help you make a massive impact!
