Do you have a no D!£%head policy? Turns out it’s good for business. Yesterday I had the privilege of listening to the Chair of the Welsh Rugby Union Richard Collier-Keywood talk eloquently about the important Welsh cultural asset he is now responsible for and the need for it to serve all stakeholders i.e. benefit society beyond the bottom line. In business it’s known as CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) which emerged as a concept in the 1960s. Back then it was seen as an altruistic means of doing more with a business than just making money, but it was assumed it would involve sacrificing profit to achieve it. The growing evidence shows this is not the case. Being environmentally responsible, inclusive and serving of all stakeholders (customers, employees, investors, the environment and wider society) builds a strong brand, customer engagement, profit and also investment opportunities. The All Blacks have an NDH (No D!£%head) policy. They clean their own dressing rooms, carry their own bags and essentially show humility, accountability and a recognition of all the stakeholders in their organisation. For me, corporate social responsibility boils down to common sense, respect and humility. It’s good to see those leading our national game going forward aspire to the same ethos. And at a time of such high attrition in business in general, would it not be best to have a smart business model that ensures that everyone in the eco system is incentivised to see the venture succeed?

Meet The Association Partner (TAP), a 13th Annual GrowFL #FLCTW Honoree! 🏆 TAP propels trade associations and professional societies Upward, Onward, and Forward, by helping them solve extremely complex challenges such as declining membership numbers, declining membership participation across important events and programs, and declining sponsorship revenue. Brian Donohoe, CEO, says his advice for fellow business owners is, "Put the ‘Person’ before the ‘Pitch’ and the ‘Power’ before the ‘Product.' No person will care about what your business has to “Pitch” to the industry, marketplace, or economy in general, if you cannot first establish trust and rapport with the “Person” that you’re trying to enroll in your ideas… Relationships come before revenue, and revenue only grows if you keep your relationships right!"
