Massive Transformative Purpose with Emilie Sydney-Smith, CEO at ExO Works
While most traditional companies are trying to survive, with $3.5 trillion wasted on corporate innovation in the last decade, the Big Techs have created $7 trillion in value.
What are the more traditional companies missing? It’s called a “Massive Transformative Purpose”.
Emilie Sydney-Smith, the CEO at ExO Works, is helping large companies like Procter & Gamble, Rio Tinto, HP and BHP emulate the world’s fastest growing companies, prepare for the future and profit from 10X disruptive innovation.
Proud to be in her dream job, Emilie helps companies realise how profitable it can be to do good and turning companies from adopting purpose from a reactive position of weakness into a fundamental driver of success.
Join me on The Uncharted Leader as Emilie shares about her journey as a leader, her dream job and massive transformative purpose to help companies maximise the benefit of technology to the world through large companies.
“My purpose is to maximise the net benefit of technology to the world through large companies - Net benefit because there will always be nefarious uses and unintended consequences, so we need to proactively get as much benefit as well; Large because the improvements can be made at scale through huge distribution and partnership channels, and access to capital” - Emilie Sydney-Smith
What makes this your dream job?
Most companies attempt growth projects, training and culture change separately, but we learned those three goals only work if they are done together, reinforcing each other. It is exhilarating to see it work in practice during our 10 week sprints where we coach around 20 people to imagine how different the future will be and design initiatives that solve problems at least tenfold better than the status quo approach. In doing so, they learn to transform the business and can’t unsee how to be future-thinkers.
We inspire the people we coach within our client companies to the point that they often say it is the best experience of their working life and like getting an MBA in 10 weeks.
Most people are perplexed by why the world’s fastest growing companies are so successful or how to go about bringing in 4th Industrial Revolution processes and technologies. We make that clear, easy and fun, so that people feel like really empowered, natural innovators.
We turn the theory or “window dressing” of becoming a purpose-driven company into reality. We help companies realise how profitable it can be to do good, thereby turning the companies from adopting purpose from a reactive position of weakness into a fundamental driver of success. We have the track record to back that up.
