Gib Bulloch on the power of business to change the world

Published on: 21st May, 2021

Keen to know what the massive untapped commercial opportunity is for businesses to engage with social issues?

Today I speak with Gib Bulloch. And he will explain how changing the world is not an impossible dream – not if we’re successful in changing the world of business.

Gib is the author of The Intrapreneur: Confessions of a Corporate Insurgent”, which is a personal story of his 15-year journey to create and scale Accenture’s global "not-for-loss" consulting business, Accenture Development Partnerships. He’s an award winning social intrapreneur who consults, writes and speaks on a range of topics relating to the role of business in society.

In this episode we talk about what businesses in this day and age need to truly consider.

How to be ahead of the curve.

And anticipate massive change coming.

We hear what the top talent are looking for. We talk about values versus value.

And Gib provides real examples of how companies should be thinking. And need to think to be competitive moving forward.

And then talks about the magic word: Intrapreneurship.

As the American Psychologist Rollo May says, “The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity.”

This podcast will not only inspire you to be the change but provide you with the many tools on how to start truly doing things differently.

So, throw on those running shoes, or grab that favourite beverage, have a listen and enjoy!
