Virgin Unite shows us how to 'Screw Business as Usual'! Part One

22nd December 2011
The work we do with The Knowledge to Action Foundation has taken us on many adventures but none so mind blowing and inspirational as the five day trip we have just done with Sir Richard Branson and his Virgin Unite team in South Africa. The theme of the trip was embedded in the message behind Sir Richard's new book 'Screw Business as Usual'. The book focuses on how companies around the world are starting to think differently about how they do business. It's not just about making money, it's about looking at sustainable ways to make a difference; to switch from profit focus to caring for people, communities and the planet.
