Entrepreneurship and Employment

Entrepreneurship and Employment

Employment is the most direct transfer of stability a business can make. Whether the work is worth the week, and whether the household can plan around it, are decisions the employer makes and rarely names.

What we want to help solve

  • Enterprise growth that adds headcount without adding stability
  • Businesses built on position rather than on capability
  • Informal work with no route into the formal economy
  • Founders with capability but no access to the first cheque

The questions it raises

  • What does this business make better, and for whom?
  • Could I explain this person's pay to them without discomfort?
  • What happens to this household in a bad quarter?
  • Does someone leave here more capable than they arrived?

Shifts reshaping this domain

  • Small business digitisation
  • Gig and platform work
  • Supply chain localisation
  • Skills mobility

Competencies formation develops

  • Venture building and operations
  • Employment practice and workforce design
  • Value creation and pricing
  • Scaling with governance

The Entrepreneurship and Employment council

Coming soon

Councils open where we have the faculty, participants and research capacity to run them properly. When this one opens it will carry mentors from the domain, published research, roundtables and reported outcomes. None of that exists yet.

Debt is not a character flaw

Telling someone in difficulty that they need better discipline is usually both wrong and expensive. Here is what the evidence and the arithmetic suggest instead.
