Businesses and industries even in a usual scenario follow a
natural progression of efficiency over time leading to unitary level
sustainability. This efficiency is mostly driven by technological advancement
and external obligatory forces. This has been one way of operation for quite
some time in history i.e., being guided by regulatory compulsion and customer’s
expectations. But real changes have to come from within.
So what has actually changed or possibly going to change
about how businesses and industries have been operating since decades?
Businesses and industries have traditionally been based on
foundation of demand and supply; production, consumption and profit; leaving
little room for value system which world actually demands today.
For instance, the need of sustainability, resilience,
equality, need to act responsibly, need to engage and protect community,
protecting biodiversity, being mindful about resources that we consume, waste
and energy footprint that we leave, having greater responsibility towards other
fellow world citizens, these seem to be newly discussed wisdom. Unlike today,
many of the elements of new age value system as mentioned above must be rare to
find few decades ago, especially in early education system. And in absence of
such values what must have resulted, is the businesses and industries leading
to mass consumption of scarce resources, exploitation of human capital, causing
degradation of environment and community life etc. i.e. old values which though
suggested to create abundance but “at any cost” and abundance mostly for self
rather than for community.
Now imagine the new generation of businessman and
industrialist in the process of emergence, who have access and exposure to all
new age wisdom and have been taught same from the elementary level onwards. Now
when they will start their businesses and run their industries they will be
running and driving companies based on new moral and systemic values, with much
clarity of purpose, with a pursuit that goes beyond self-centric growth, being
mindful of their action, driven by value system which cares for all impacted,
creating abundance for all, also knowing the real cost of growth and managing
the externalities. These changes will be from within business and industries
driven by new age business leaders and industrialists through a new value
system, and will not just be a result of external statutory forces or market
obligations.
This a hopeful time in history when new league of human
capital is emerging, who are inspired and driven by evolved value system to
make world a better place.
