The Business Beyond Business : Towards A Purpose Driven Organisation.

Vinayshil Gautam
Interview On 01.02.2017 With Richard Rekhy

As would be recognized there has been a definite movement towards creating a well-defined purpose driven eco system in several corporate entities. In many ways this is quite the direct opposite of the general lament on the decline of ethical standards in organisations. My familiarity with the literature and practice of creating and sustaining a purpose driven organisation throws up some names.

Readers would be aware of Aaron Hurst and his thoughts on 'purpose economy'. Dan Pontefract talked of 'purpose effect'. If I might say so, a name which comes to me in the same series is of Richard Rekhy, who's attempts to create a purpose driven-firm have not only aroused interest but evoked considerable respect amongst the knowledgeable and the observant.

Here are some excerpts from my recent conversation with Richard Rekhy, CEO, KPMG, India his responses to some of my queries would help in shedding some light on an otherwise young terrain.

VG: How would you define a 'purpose driven' organisation?

Maintain Neutrality Based On Competency & Capability

The most effective rule in managing up and down however, is being authentic. Authenticity in intent, that builds trust - because once this core factor is there, there is nothing that is required to be 'managed' in the natural order of things.

Future Of Performance Management

Is it about managing performance, or managing the behavior that will produce the performance? And if it is indeed about influencing the person so that he has clarity of agreed outcomes and the support available to him to achieve these, are organizations doing lip service to it or are they serious about the process?

How I Started And Nurtured My Startup..!

Coming from a service class family, I had no idea of business. I had no one to turn to for the basics. I got in touch with some consultants; none of them knew the entire process of getting all the approvals. We were very clear, we did not want to start on the wrong foot, and we wanted to be 100% compliant. I did face many challenges at various stages e.g. in just few months of launch, the competition tried to pull us down, however the issue was resolved soon. Teacupsfull now is a fully registered brand. Challenges do prop up many times, however the key is to stay positive and never give up. There is always a solution to every problem.
