Lots to learn from religious orgs. Financial orgs/philosophy is still very young.

A core piece, the Church for example, attributes to its survival long term has been Pastoral Care. In our technical or business schools its hard to find people who know what that is, or why its required.

Seminaries teach Care not just theology. Students are in constant direct contact with the community and its suffering on a day to day basis, not just through a dashboard or academic papers. It has a huge effect on the type of people who get schools and hospital built and keep them running.

Hold up - PRIVATE EQUITY left a wake of debt, broken promises, and utter failure to achieve anything but enrich itself?

I am shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YOU, that such a thing could happen! /s
