November e-bulletin

The protesters of the Occupy Movement have decided to get up and take action on something they believe in, they're looking for ways of getting their voices heard, they want to have a debate about our future.

We whole heartedly welcome the activism and energy and debate. But we don't agree with them. The problem with the protestors is that they don't know what they want to change, they don't have any alternatives and they're wrong to just rail against business as if it's a monolithic entity or against capitalism as though it's the system that's the problem. It's not.

And indeed with the economic news seeming to get bleaker by the day, we need the enormous capacity of businesses to generate wealth and get things moving more than almost ever before. It's the only way we're going to move forward.

In this month’s Good Business e-bulletin, Giles calls for new bravery from business and delves into what this might look like and how we might measure it. To read more, email David@goodbusiness.co.uk.

Good Business

Having been helping out at the Good Business office for one week on work experience, I have seen how the industry functions and what the enviroment in the office is like:

The Good Business team is very much united and everybody is extremely friendly to one another which I believe is essential in making progress in a company. The working atmostphere feels positive and driven, which makes one feel good because you know you are getting somewhere.

My experience at Good Business was very enjoyable and I feel extremely lucky to have worked for such a good cause in such a unique company.
