Definition
Purpose can be defined as the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists. It is a term that gained a lot of focus in organizational literature in the past years.
As part of the Organisation Evolution Framework my working definition of Purpose is: Driving Force, fuel, bond that pulls the organisation together to pursue meaningful interactions with the outside world.

I use tags to connect contents in my published articles (but also across quotes, book reviews and other pieces). Not all these pages are “rich” in terms of connecting content. In some cases I use these also to run some definitions of concepts that I use across my site. For comments and feedback, please go to the relevant content page.
