Ikigai
A framework for purpose: what you love, are good at, can be paid for, and what the world needs.
Ikigai is a framework for locating purpose at the intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what you can be paid for, and what the world needs. In a talent context it offers a lens for helping people find roles that feel genuinely meaningful and sustainable. Employers sometimes draw on it to frame development and role design, connecting individual fulfilment to the organisation's needs and its EVP.
