Good Company
Why Companies Are Not Focused On Being Good
For many organizations, the idea of being a “good company” seems like a luxury—something to consider only after achieving profitability, market share, and operational efficiency. However, this line of thinking is short-sighted. Being good isn’t just a moral stance; it’s also a strategic advantage. Here’s why so many companies overlook this opportunity and what they stand to lose.
What is a good company?
A company that is guided by a moral compass and embodies virtuous patterns of behavior in the pursuit of a product or service of value.
The GoodCo Compass is our response to the pathological and bureaucratic cultures that plague our society. Each direction of the compass designed to guide companies towards the good.
Care
Patterns in how we treat each other: prioritizing the well being and satisfaction of our employees and customers.
Community
Patterns in how we build relationships: fostering inclusivity and mutual support among all stakeholders.
Commitment
Patterns in how we dedicate ourselves: maintaining ethical leadership, long term vision, and employee development.
Change
Patterns in how we grow: embracing innovation, adaptability, and continuous improvement to stay competitive.
Good GROWTH
GROWTH Loop
Transformation is not linear. The GROWTH Loop provides a dynamic, iterative approach that enables organizations to adapt, evolve, and grow sustainably. Each element—Guide, Realize, Optimize, Work, Transform, and Harness—contributes to creating lasting value.
Why It Matters
88% of transformation efforts fail to achieve their ambitions. (Bain & Co, 2024) This failure is often due to disconnected strategies, rigid cultures, and a lack of alignment between values and behaviors.
At GoodCo, we bridge this gap by focusing on patterns of behavior that drive meaningful, measurable change.
