Who we are
OUR CREDO
Everyone on this planet is best at something – including you. The release and expansion of your natural talent and powers is our mission.
The Human Electric Organisation firmly believes in benefit of enterprise. The creation of value and its exploitation for profit and gain – whether monetary or otherwise. Whatever the nature of an enterprise, its success is dependent on human talent (if you will, it’s human capital). In turn the enterprise is an environment that shapes and develops the people involved.
This symbiotic relationship has been behind most of the important advances in human development in the last two hundred years. However at times it’s also had obvious detrimental effects, as the enterprise has taken primacy over the people whose skills and endeavour lie at its core.
In the first decade of the new millennium, the dynamics of the successful enterprise have changed dramatically.
In the commercial arena, businesses that did not really exist at the turn of the century have eclipsed others that have been around for the whole or greater part of the previous one. In the same year that Google celebrated its tenth birthday, established banks went bankrupt and the company that was once the largest, most successful in the world, confronted Chapter 11 protection and a government hand-out.
In the area of communications, education and news, services such as Skype, Digg, Wikipedia and Twitter are now part of the global landscape and yet did not exist at the turn of the new century. Yet major news publishers and media groups of previous times have either diminished in relevance or disappeared altogether.
A significant theme in this transformation is the change in importance from physical assets and capital towards human assets and capital. Talent, expertise and adventurous endeavour now determine the success of an enterprise. But it’s also vital to appreciate that the relationship between enterprise and people is indeed symbiotic. The creation, operation and growth of an enterprise has a substantial impact on the character and personal development of its people.
