Purpose

Our principles

  • Being explicit about purpose helps to understand why we do things at every level.
  • Purpose helps to verify if what’s happening daily still matches the ambition.
  • A purpose should feel ambitious so that the potential impact of every day work is clear.
  • Purpose provides energy when your work aligns with it. Or drain energy when it doesn't.

Our practices

  • The company, every circle and each role have a purpose so it's clear what is its reason to exist.
  • Everyone can propose changes to a purpose through the   Governance⁠   process.
  • The purpose of Springest as a company was changed 3 times in 14 years.
  • Purpose should also align with your  ❤️⁠⁠Values⁠  and maybe the  💪⁠⁠Skills⁠  (see  🥋⁠⁠Mastery⁠ ).



Original description from the OS Canvas model:
Purpose - How we orient and steer; the reason for being at the heart of any organization, team, or individual.
What is our reason for being? What is meaningful about our work? How does our purpose help us make decisions?
