Victoria Hurth has published an extensive library of works, both for academic and executive audiences. Her writing exists to summarise what it really means to lead for long-term wellbeing for all (sustainability) in an accessible, practical and highly robust way.
Sustainability leaders globally seem to be saying the same thing about what is wrong and how to fix it but in slightly different ways and focused on different parts of the puzzle.
Victoria and her colleague Professor Lorenzo Fioramonti set out that at the heart of the problem is the deeply held idea that financial income is a good proxy for our long-term collective wellbeing. This has led us to govern for a GDP economy, serviced by profit-driven organisations and powered by financially focused work and lives.
We need a new market economy that is:
A Wellbeing Economy: anchored to long-term wellbeing for all people and planet (sustainability) as the goal.
Purpose-Driven Organisations (PDOs): organisations whose ‘reason to exist is an optimal strategic contribution to long-term wellbeing for all people and planet’ (PAS 808: 2022).
Meaningful work and lives: humans empowered to serve the Wellbeing Economy through their work in Purpose-Driven Organisations.
I usually work on B2C software, that's my forte--where I shine best. But I also have about 15 B2B software products in my portfolio. I do end-to-end product design + branding.
I only charge hourly for my ongoing projects that need work on the regular. One-time projects are charged upfront to keep it transparent and clean! My hourly rate is $100.
I work Pacific Standard Time, but I'm always ready to help out in emergencies, no matter the hour.
Depends on the scope of the project, really. Some projects take less than a week. Some take months. The best way to find out is to get on a quick call with me, and discuss it. No strings attached!
I quote a price upfront--so that you know exactly what you're paying and for what, and there are no surprises later. The exact cost of your project depends on the scope and requirements!
I take a problem-forward approach. Whether we're iterating on an existing product or building a new one from scratch, how to solve the user's problem in the simplest way possible is my first concern.
Send me an email to understand my process in depth!
The best metrics are customer adoption, happiness, task success, and engagement. There are a number of frameworks such as the System Usability Scale that help us understand product performance and I'm happy to help with that.
I always make sure to help out my clients one month after the project ends, for free. For any help post that, we can work out an ongoing arrangement!
