Finding Your Business Edge no 5

Finding Your Business Edge no 5 week beginning 27th February 2012

This week we’ll be looking at the top ten social media myths and casting our business eye over Twitter… is it simply legalised stalking?

But first something you might not expect to hear on a business show.

A song called Money by the Undercover Hippy..

This somewhat cynical, anti-capitalist song can be taken as a reminder to ask all businesses to review their core values.

In some ways ‘the bottom line’ is not as simple a consideration as it once was. In a world that is in economic flux there a greater need to consider a multi-dimensional bottom line.

The often quoted TRIPLE BOTTOM line reminds us that businesses have a responsibility for not only their PROFITS but also to PEOPLE and PLANET.

A businesses attitude to the triple bottom line is seen in the values it not only publishes but behaves in accordance with.

Behaviour is the external expression of the real values within your business…
