People
Unlearn Business Lab emerged from our deep desire for radical system change and a deep frustration about how hard that has proven to be. As social entrepreneurs we tried to do things differently but when it came down to the fundamentals of our businesses, we often found ourselves reverting to what we knew. We eventually realised two things: that if we didn’t change ourselves on the inside, we wouldn’t change anything on the outside. And if we didn’t work together with others, that change would never be more than a drop in the ocean.
We are connected through our shared interest in rethinking capitalist mechanisms and the will to change the way we live and work.
Unlearn Business Lab is an initiative of social entrepreneurs, individuals and progressive businesses.
