Ep 23 - Ramana James on connecting a company’s strategy to its purpose

With most large companies proudly displaying their ‘purpose’ for all to see, how many are taking it seriously and who are the people doing the work to ensure they are heading in the right direction?

Ramana James is one such person! His roles at Vodafone Australia, Stockland, IAG and Dexus have all included the process of connecting their strategies to their purpose and very few people could claim such a breadth and depth of experience.

Having grown up with ‘hippie’ parents in Northern NSW and starting out in environmental consulting, he soon realised that being able to move corporate machinery in the right direction in ways that also improves their risk profile and earnings outlook would be his calling.
