Co-founded by myself and Professor David A. Kirby the Harmonious Entrepreneurship Society (HES), registered as Harmonious Entrepreneurship Ltd is on a mission to revolutionise the way entrepreneurship is perceived and practised, addressing the pressing sustainability challenges that our planet faces.
In an era where climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality are escalating, traditional entrepreneurship models often fall short. Unlike traditional entrepreneurship, which focuses on wealth and job creation but often harms society and the environment, Harmonious Entrepreneurship ensures balanced progress. It differs from eco-preneurship, which prioritises environmental sustainability but may neglect social and economic factors, and from social entrepreneurship, which addresses social issues but can overlook environmental and economic sustainability. Humane entrepreneurship, which emphasises quality job creation and human well-being, may not fully integrate environmental and economic aspects.
At HES, we believe that a systemic, holistic approach is needed—one that recognises the complex interconnections within our ecosystem. Our solution is Harmonious Entrepreneurship, which seeks to balance profit, people, and the planet.
We are dedicated to:
- Empowering Educators: Providing resources and programmes that enable educators to teach the principles of harmonious entrepreneurship.
- Developing Skills: Equipping young adults and emerging entrepreneurs with the knowledge and skills to launch and sustain ventures that align with our harmonious principles.
- Promoting Research: Encouraging and supporting research into the outcomes of harmonious entrepreneurship, and fostering a deep understanding of its impact.
- Disseminating Knowledge: Sharing research findings and best practices through publications and conferences to ensure wide accessibility.
- Fostering Growth: Creating an environment that supports the success of new ventures, ensuring they thrive without compromising ecological sustainability.
- Building Partnerships: Collaborating with local councils, enterprises, and employment support groups to expand the reach and impact of harmonious enterprises.
- Advocating Sustainability: Promoting sustainable practices in entrepreneurship and influencing policy and public opinion in favour of harmonious business models.
