Delivering Value Around the World

by Lois Melbourne

worldpuzzleAt the HCI Summit last month, I listened to Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS,  who designed the company to sustainably provide the One for One™ business model. For every pair of shoes purchased, the company gives a pair of shoes to a child in need. TOMS gives to people around the world who cannot afford shoes for their children – a situation that often prevents children from attending school.

It is an incredible story with information for people and his employees. Mycoskie talked about how “doing the right thing” helps him attract the right people.

Few of us can create a business with such a direct connection to philanthropy. But, we can create great businesses just the same. I am very proud of Aquire. We may not appear to be changing the world in the charitable sense, but we are changing the world.

We are teaching companies to build better jobs by helping them develop successful career paths to the c-suite. We help companies improve their communication by connecting organizational relationships, which helps them get their job done with less hassle. We help companies build stronger structure in their workforce and departmental designs, so that departments are more efficient, more connected, and more logical. Aquire helps over 11 million people be better connected to their companies.

Aquire has a notable purpose and delivers great value to businesses and people all around the world. It’s exciting for me to know that beyond the cool jobs we create within Aquire, we improve jobs everywhere.

I admire social entrepreneurship. I hope people find ways to build more businesses this way. I’m going to keep improving the world the best way I know how…by helping our customers improve their business and do better things for their employees, their jobs, and their careers.

Cheers,
Lois
