Dollars That Make Sense (DTMS) - 1ST Edition
Tremont & Grand is deeply committed to this vision of responsible leadership.
Welcome to Dollars That Make Sense (DTMS), a digital community of Tremont & Grand, dedicated to exploring the vital connection between business revenue and social responsibility. At DTMS, we believe that businesses can—and should—go deeper with their fiscal objectives rather than simply expanding profits. At Tremont & Grand, we are committed to not just sustaining an internal culture of social responsibility, but also celebrating other businesses that are brave enough to do the same.
One of the key focuses of DTMS is how companies can efficiently, effectively, and inclusively manage their 'tech spend' dollars across internal functions. When we say 'inclusively,' we mean bringing all the internal players in a company—the teams and departments that will carry out decisions—into the conversation. Too often, executive decisions are handed down without adequate input or inclusion from the people who actually execute them. At DTMS, we believe that when all internal stakeholders are involved, decisions are not only better informed but also more effectively implemented. By spending technology dollars wisely and ensuring that internal teams are part of the strategic dialogue, businesses can achieve higher levels of innovation and productivity.
The second way DTMS goes deeper is by exploring how businesses can adopt revenue models that funnel a portion of their proceeds back into the community. Many forward-thinking companies are realizing the value of contributing to the communities in which they operate, and we’re seeing more businesses commit to this type of social responsibility. At DTMS, we value the companies that are leading the way—those that have recognized that their success is intertwined with the well-being of the communities they serve. These businesses understand that their role extends beyond making profits; they are shaping a better world by investing in social initiatives that create lasting impact.
Tremont & Grand is deeply committed to this vision of responsible leadership. We don’t just talk about social responsibility; we live it in our internal culture and practices. Our executives are dedicated to fostering an environment where decisions are made with a keen eye on their broader impact; but we don’t stop there. Through DTMS, we also celebrate other executive leaders and businesses who have the courage to embrace this mindset. It takes boldness and vision to prioritize the greater good alongside profit, and we’re here to support and encourage those who do.
As we continue to grow this digital community, we invite you to join us in these important conversations. Dollars That Make Sense is not just about what companies can do today, but how we can collectively shape a better future through responsible business practices. Together, we can push the boundaries of what it means to lead with purpose, and we’re thrilled to have you on this journey with us. So, how can you incorporate social responsibility in your space?
