Synopsis

"In your hands you have the product of teamwork. Together with four colleagues of Qurius, two great editors and two designers I had the wonderful experience of writing and delivering this book in a period of 4 months. We started this all before Christmas 2011 and sent our copy to the printers by the end of March. We all knew what to write and it was if we had been waiting for this book to come along. All of us are very aware of what is going on in the world, in business and in our own company. And we are curious for the drivers behind it. That’s why we continuously step into conversations with people that are leading change to a more sustainable world. We believe at Qurius that ICT is crucial in solving many of the challenges of our times be it in social, environmental and economical developments. We take responsibility and our message therefore is ‘Create sustainable success!’. Passion is the engine to achieve what needs to be done."

Review:

“When companies want to become sustainable and it doesn’t come from the heart, any effort to build a social venture will fail and eventually die off.” (Ben Cohen, Founder)

“Great ideas, great objectives, they all bring nothing unless they are executed upon. Execution needs a lot of energy and day-to-day hard work. None of that is possible without Passion, argues Leen Zevenbergen. After reading I have to admit, he is right.” (Ben Verwaayen, CEO Alcatel-Lucent and President)

“Sustainability and creating value for all stakeholders is a core responsibility of every company. Sustainability is increasingly becoming a business driver. This book describes how to mobilize the passion in your organization to shape this.” (Feike Sijbesma, CEO)
