Pioneer businessman leading seminar in Kaitaia
Market research pioneer Richard Brunton will be in Kaitaia on Saturday, to lead a half-day seminar on The Blessing Message at the Kaitaia Christian Fellowship.
Mr Brunton co-founded Colmar Brunton in 1981, and built the business into the country’s best known and most trusted research company. He was also the driving force behind Colmar Brunton’s Better Business, Better World campaign, a personal crusade focusing on creating profit by creating purpose, or making money by making meaning.
He believes — and says he has with the research to back it — that organisations that are driven by the big ideal of making their customers’ lives better create more shareholder value in the long run than those that focus on other aims.
In 2014 he retired as executive chairman of Colmar Brunton to devote his time to writing, speaking and “marketplace ministry”. His recently published booklet, The Awesome Power of Blessing, is said to be having a significant impact on the lives of people around the world.
