Now Available: The Essential Guide to Implementation of Stakeholder Capitalism
Last week, the Enterprise Engagement Alliance released its updated Enterprise Engagement for CEOs: The Little Blue Book for Stakeholder Capitalists. This week, it has published its updated Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap—How to Implement Stakeholder Capitalism to provide management at all levels a comprehensive implementation guide with detailed information on the theory, economics, and practices of Stakeholder Capitalism and human capital management across the enterprise.
While Enterprise Engagement for CEOs provides an abbreviated overview of the principles of Stakeholder Capitalism and profiles of some of the CEOs who have practiced it at their organizations, Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap offers a practical detailed implementation guide that includes information on the principles and economics, as well as on almost all of the tactics involved.
The challenge facing the Stakeholder Capitalism movement is that it is not taught in any schools nor even in executive education program and that it requires organizations to break down the siloes between finance, marketing, human resources, operations, and other business units that hamper efficiency and create poor experiences for customers and employees alike.
Stakeholder Capitalism enhances returns for investors by creating value for customers, employees, supply chain and distribution partners, communities, and the environment and should not be confused with “woke” capitalism or Corporate Social Responsibility. See ESM: Stakeholder Capitalism—A Primer.
Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap aims to address the knowledge gap with a desk reference covering almost all the key areas of the field. Writes Grace Swanson, Vice President, Human Capital at Accumold, a leading precision manufacturer, “By the time I finished reading Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap my copy was filled with Post-it notes highlighting information I knew I would need to reference later. This book provides a complete guide to almost everything an organization needs to implement a strategic approach to engaging everyone in organizational goals in a systematic way.”
Gary Rhoads, retired Stephen Mack Covey Professor of Marketing Emeritus at the Marriot School of Business at Brigham Young University and Chairman of Xvoyant, a sales engagement technology firm, “As a professor of marketing and entrepreneurship for most of my career, and founder of two leading companies in sales and marketing management, I know that delivering promises is one of the most critical strategies for success. Yet too many organizations fail to address the importance of engaging all stakeholders in organizational goals. Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap is the only book I know that focuses on how to apply a strategic and tactical approach to engagement across the enterprise in a systematic way.”
Adds Barbara Porter, Managing Director, Ernst & Young, "I have spent much of my career helping organizations develop great cultures, and in the end a successful strategy requires a CEO-led approach to connecting employees, managers, customers, vendors, suppliers, the community—everyone inside and outside the organization who has a stake in its success. I have repeatedly referenced almost every chapter in Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap since the first edition came out, as it’s the only book I know of that puts together in one place all the tactics needed to address engagement to achieve organizational results.”
As shown in the table of contents below, the book covers almost every topic involved with the implementation of Stakeholder Capitalism, including career opportunities and the potential impact on government. The edition now includes appendices on human capital management, reporting, and analysis.
