from NousCast · host Rosanna Hurst, Minto Felix, Tim Orton

“I am hugely supportive of those things that the other consulting firms are doing. But in many respects, it’s almost icing on the cake of their core business model. For us, positive influence is the cake.” - Tim Orton, CEO and Managing Principal, Nous Group. We interview Nous Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Principal Tim Orton to see how he defines positive influence, how he believes it can be achieved, whether it ever comes into conflict with the profit motive, and why it matters to him personally. You can read our reflections on 25 years of positive influence on our website.
