This was a truly inspirational learning experience for me, to see an organization that aspires to such levels of excellence and to have the ability to discuss and debate what was seen with such a mix of delegates, who had so many different strategic and operational perspectives - truly inspiring!
The Power of Purpose 2026
Visit one of the world’s most purpose-led, highly revered organisations and find and define your personal leadership purpose.
What are the key elements of the programme?
1. Aravind Eye Care System – Deep Immersion
Aravind is the world’s largest provider of eye care and unequivocally one of the worlds most admired organisations.
No other organisation on earth combines their clarity of purpose with world-beating operational excellence, productivity and profitability to achieve social impact at staggering scale. Since its inception in 1976, by its then 58-year old founder Dr V, Aravind has been rigorously focused on its purpose of ‘Eradicating Needless Blindness’. Theirs is a culture that is the embodiment of humility, dignity and respect, and a service model that includes the most excluded. Aravind’s open-source business model has also enabled over 300 hospitals globally to join them in achieving their purpose: ‘To Eradicate Needless Blindness’. World class purpose. World class productivity. World class profitability. World class culture. World class social impact.
Aravind quite simply serves as a model for the rest of the world.
2. Power of Purpose Workshop
Following your deep immersion into the Aravind Eye Care System, a dedicated workshop will help you explore, articulate, and distil your personal purpose into a concrete statement and embed it into your leadership.
The workshop will be led by Tim Munden, former Chief Learning Officer at Unilever using a methodology developed during his tenure. 56,000 Unilever employees participated in these one-day workshops.
Find, define and articulate your purpose and live a more engaged, resilient and fulfilled life.
