A future we can trust
For over a decade, I’ve helped design trustworthy organisations that benefit by doing *real good for people and planet.
*This is a work in progress ;)
I’ve done this with federal governments, major corporations, policy institutes, VCs and startups.
Including…
“Among the smartest and most nuanced thinkers I’ve ever come across.”
— Jon Alexander, New Citizenship Project
“Nate produces incredible outputs with remarkably quick turnarounds.”
— Jesslyn Dymond, Director Responsible AI at TELUS
“Certainly one of the world leading figures on ethics in practical applications.”
— Fionn Delahunty, Co-founder Lua Health
Why does this matter?
And why should you care?
There’s a big problem
Humanity needs organisations of all kinds to responsibly coordinate action, sustainably deliver material needs and support meaningful human development. Problematically, however, many organisations are failing to consistently act with benevolence, integrity and competence. This erodes organisational trust and limits their capacity to do good work.
In fact, this lack of organisational trustworthiness has contributed to many of the big problems we face as living beings on this finite planet.
But we can solve it
The framework I have developed helps organisations build benevolence, integrity and competence - the ‘features of organisational trustworthiness’ - into every level and function of their organisation.
This process enhances trust, reputation and social licence to operate (SLO), not because of some shift ‘outside’ the organisation, but because the organisation has done the ‘inner work’ to be worthy of it.
Doing this inner work offers a range of benefits, from better unit economics and holistic return on investment, through to enhanced social cohesion and wellbeing.
Oh, and the most trustworthy commercial organisations outperform the market by 30%.
