The Purpose Map
What
The purpose is a fundamental piece of branding structures and business models. Purpose-driven organizations move and act toward their causes and beliefs. Therefore, they resonate with their public through common deep motivations. “People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it", claims Simon Sinek in his famous book - Start with Why. Blending Sinek's approach with the Japanese concept of Ikigai - the reason for living -, I got into this template: The Purpose Map, a collaborative tool to find your organization's why through a process that begins in personal stories and ends at a clear, direct, and simple purpose statement. The Purpose Map is not a tool to plan the future, but rather to clarify the present, answering 4 fundamental golden questions: why? how? what? for what?
