DEAL and Doughnut Economics Pillars of Business.

PurposeThe reason for a organizations’ existence and what it seeks to achieve
Redesign: Does the purpose serve the needs of just the business, or does it address value beyond itself?
NetworksThe map of stakeholders and connections to a business. The networks surrounding the business should align to the purpose and values to offer a supportive culture
Redesign: Do the networks align to the purpose and values?
GovernanceThe incorporation of purpose across the decision-making process and the persons involved
Redesign: Who is involved in decisions making? How are decisions made? How is progress measured? Is purpose safeguarded?
OwnershipThe ownership of land, data, knowledge and assets of the business
Redesign: Does ownership dictate the purpose? Who owns the successes and failures?
FinanceThe financing of the business and the resulting modus operandi that results
Redesign: What does the financing demand? Does finance serve the purpose, or vice versa? How is finance measured?
