The Allan Gray Centre for VBL at UCT GSB is dedicated to exploring enriched ways of doing business based on purpose, values, responsible leadership and responsible practices. The Allan Gray Centre for Values-Based Leadership sets out to ask difficult questions about the assumptions supporting our current, mostly mechanistic, business management models. Specifically, it is exploring whether profit and shareholder value should continue to be the exclusive drivers of business, or if values, purpose and meaning might be a more effective driver for the 21st Century.
