We believe in the power of purpose and entrepreneurial thinking to change business and change lives.
Armstrong Wolfe is pleased to announce a collaboration with Contexis.
The collaboration encompasses the Armstrong Wolfe’s quarterly COO forums across several regions.
John Rosling, CEO, Contexis Ltd and CEO, Contexis Index CIC comments:
“Coming out of the pandemic the industry is facing huge structural challenges, driven by the changing demands of customers, employees and, increasingly, regulators. This represents real opportunity for the agile. The most flexible, responsive and entrepreneurial organisations are those that have understood their purpose as an operational reality. That operational purpose galvanises and engages people, supports retention and creates clarity, velocity and innovation. In our experience, understanding, measuring and operationalising purpose can only be done by the COO. That is why we are delighted to collaborate with Armstrong Wolfe and the COO community to together shift purpose from an abstract conversation to a measurable, operational reality”.
Maurice Evlyn-Bufton, CEO, Armstrong Wolfe adds:
“The concept of purpose had been resident in the debate and narrative within the COO community for some time. The pandemic and the challenges presented in managing staff in a dislocated working model, the consequent challenge to culture and the renewed focus this bought to the importance of leadership led the industry to recognise that purpose needs to move from the side-lines, being paid lip service, to being embedded in an organisation at its centre.
The COO is tasked to execute and operationalise on strategic and tactical initiatives and are well practiced at it, although the obvious complexity in operationalising purpose was noted by many as a unique challenge and this led us to Contexis. We are convinced the COO community will benefit from the association that we are delighted to announce, where Armstrong Wolfe will partner and collaborate with Contexis to support the COOs in this endeavour.”
