Our Impact

At The Institute our tagline is “Repurposing Business–Transforming Society.” We like what it says, but doing it is not that simple. Why is that? Well, transformation, like flossing, is something more talked about than done. Yet it is something that we have a longing to be a part of in some way or another. Tansformation–the word is a but overused, especially in countries like South Africa. Elsewhere it is a more in vogue euphemism for “discipling nations.” So it stands to reason that we want to do it because we were commanded to be nation disciplers. How, where, when… how will we know when we have done it? These are some of the questions.

Jesus was not unfamiliar with these questions. In fact, his own marketing pre-launch guy, John the Baptizer, sent over some folks to see whether Jesus was the real deal. Jesus did not point to his process, his products, his people-growth strategies, but to his results. ‘Tell John, “The blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walk…” That is transformation.

So, in the worlds of business and leadership, what are our results? An asset that God has given us is the assurance that when we engage with leaders and businesses they will most likely:

• Be radically transformed personally
• See the probability of God wanting to use their occupation as the primary place for walking out their vocation
• Discover a new purpose for the business or corporation
• Experience God speaking to them
• See tangible marketplace miracles
• Get fresh tools for aligning How they work with newly informed Why they work.

We have surveys, data and anecdotes to back this up. It is not a point of pride, really, just an attempt to be clear. When corporations engage with us they experience supernatural change. It goes beyond our products, our process and our people: it happens because God makes it happen.
