The New P&L needs your help! And, by help, we mean your valuable opinions!

We are conducting a major survey of our listeners, supporters and advocates of The New P&L movement – a movement to aims to place principled leadership and purpose right at the heart of business, so they can impact on and feed the commercial strategic and operational arteries that drive it.

In our first listener survey we want to understand what you love about The New P&L’s current format, why you listen to it, what you take away from it, and what you think we could do better, as well as what you wished we did but currently don’t! As a movement and a podcast publisher – we are nothing without our supporters and listeners so your valuable opinions will feed into not just our thinking and planning for the next 100 episodes of The New P&L, but also crucially into how we frame and build many of the products and services we are offering around the podcast, such as the workshops and brand purpose strategy and consultancy we deliver through our The New P&L Brand Purpose Institute.

For those who do take a moment to complete the survey thank you so very much in advance, and thank you everyone for taking the time to listen to The New P&L and for your continued support of the podcast and The New P&L movement.

There’s an irony at the heart of many businesses –  owners, leaders and management teams constantly calling for greater creative thinking from their employees to help ensure their businesses can thrive in an ever-competitive market. However, when you open the doors and look inside many of these businesses, this treasured creativity and creative thinking remains often too narrowly defined and then confined to the marketing department; where it is unable to deliver on all the rich, untapped potential it could offer the business as a whole.

In this week’s The New P&L TO THE POINT we discuss whether creativity needs a rebrand to help change the perceptions of the real commercial value of creative thinking to a business, as well as how a mix of creative freedoms and frameworks can help it to flourish and deliver tangible benefits to a business’s strategic, operational and commercial arteries.
