Making a Business of Helping Organizations Transition to Stakeholder Capitalism With Kent Gregoire

If the implementation of Stakeholder Capitalism requires a strategic and systematic process, it stands to reason that the emergence of this field will foster the creation of a new field of experts, services, and technology, much as occurred in the field total quality management, customer relationship management, loyalty management, and many others. Along with the Enterprise Engagement Alliance and its Engagement Agency division, Stakeholder Business is among the first businesses specifically launched to help guide CEOs seeking to make the shift to Stakeholder Capitalism.

We interview Kent Gregorire, a long-time Stakeholder Capitalism advocate, on the business he is creating to help CEOs make the shift.  

The company’s name says it all: Stakeholder Business. Kent Gregoire founded the firm last year with Meghan French Dunbar and Nathan Havey on the premise that Stakeholder Capitalism offers a competitive advantage, and that, while the benefits of it are clear, how to implement the model to realize those benefits is not. The company says it helps “leaders with proven strategic guidance on exactly what Stakeholder Capitalism is and how to implement it to build a thriving stakeholder business.”

The conversation covers Kent's journey in the quest to promote a better form of capitalism and how his new company creates value for organizations.
