Tomorrow's Company originated from the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA), which in 1993 initiated a business-led Inquiry into 'the role of business in a changing world'. The objective was to develop a shared vision of the company of tomorrow.The findings of the Inquiry, published in 1995, introduce the concept of an inclusive approach to business success in which a company:

  • defines and communicates its purpose and values
  • develops a unique success model
  • places a positive value on each of its relationships
  • works in partnership with stakeholders
  • maintains a healthy reputation.

Put simply it is a business lobby
