ON Purpose: For-impact chapter launch event
What do we want? Operations Nation: ON Purpose! When do we want it? Now!
Calling all operations professionals and enthusiasts in the for-impact sector — join us for our very first Operations Nation: ON Purpose chapter meetup!
Although many in the Operations Nation community come from the world of tech start-ups and scale-ups, there’s always been a thriving group of members working in the for-impact space. While impact-led organisations share much of their DNA with for-profit businesses - bringing people together, managing risk, and getting things done - they also face unique challenges and priorities.
Finally, a massive thank you to Andrew Ormerod for facilitating this event and for championing the ON Purpose chapter! 🙌
About ON Purpose
ON Purpose is a new chapter of ON, created to bring together anyone in, or curious about, for-impact ops. We want to raise the profile of ops in the for-impact world and spotlight the value of for-impact work across the wider ON community.
What to expect:
🤝 Speed networking: Meet fellow ops professionals quickly and effectively
💬 Open discussion: What do we want and need from our ON chapter?
🌱 Community building: Share ideas, opportunities, and challenges in the for-impact space
This is your chance to meet like-minded people and help shape the future of the ON Purpose chapter.
You should join us if you’re...
✅ Working in an impact-led organisation (non profit, social enterprise, tech-for-good etc.)
✅ Interested in moving into the for-impact world
