We depend on organizations--airlines, drug manufacturers, supermarkets, energy suppliers--to put our safety, survival, and quality of life as their top purpose. Without this assurance to consumers, these companies would soon go out of business. And by putting the concerns of society first these organizations thrive in the private and public sectors. The question is "How can all organizations be transformed so the needs of the client and ultimately society are at the top of their priority lists?"
