Social Impact Strategy I Purpose & Culture
About
Are you serious about creating positive social impact? I help you get there. Businesses who focus on social (and environmental) impact out-perform those who pursue profit alone, and are more resilient in times of change. However, many face challenges in how to be effective in creating positive impact, measuring their social impact and how to leverage it for funding and investment. I am a strategist and leadership mentor, and I empower businesses to become industry leaders through impact strategies that enhance social and financial performance. I assist business leaders with • Impact management: Become intentional about social impact, measure it, report on it and leverage it for your brand. • Creating innovative, human-centred workplaces: The future of work is changing, and future-proof workplaces are wellbeing-focused, collaborative and decentralized. As a certified Semco Style Expert, I guide organizations to adjust their workplace, culture and structure to be efficient, and attract and retain the right people. ----------------------------------------- My passion is to help create businesses to be both profitable and have positive impact. I have a Master’s in Business Economics and a PhD in Corporate Social Responsibility. For the latter, I travelled around the world to work with leading impact-driven businesses. I am: • Founder and CEO of Kin Strategy & Research, an impact-focused consultancy • A social impact lead for various organizations • A lecturer in 'future of work' (organizational design), social impact and business sustainability • An academic research associate for leading universities I live and work location independent and currently reside in Bali, Indonesia.
