For decades, Michael Porter’s Value Chain has been a cornerstone of strategic thinking, guiding businesses to optimize activities for profitability. While undeniably powerful, it reflects a linear, profit-centric worldview that often overlooks the ripple effects of these activities on broader ecosystems and stakeholders. In today’s interconnected and resource-constrained world, this omission has become impossible to ignore.

Enter the Impact Chain—a complementary framework that balances the equation by integrating sustainability, equity, and regeneration into the process of value creation. Together, the Value Chain and Impact Chain form a continuous loop, creating what I call a Virtuous Cycle of Shared Success.
