FIAT Designation

A Universal Standard for Organisations

FIAT (Fiduciary In All Things) is a designation for organisations (corporate, nonprofit, and governmental) passionate about seeing that all institutions put people, truth, democracy, and the planet ahead of their own self-concern. They model this by putting their people first, creating a flourishing business from the inside out.

The Moules delivers premium organisational transformation by training companies of all sizes to create flourishing workforces dedicated to FIAT with engaged, energized, and inspired team members. By focusing on enhancing the listening skills of every team member and supporting the aspirational lives they long to live, The Moules reinvigorates mission-driven companies to become more human-centered, productive, and efficient within their teams.

This is a brilliant course for anyone who wants to create a harmonious and productive workplace, wants to become a better, happier and more effective person, and wants to change this damaged world for the better.

Why FIAT ?

Most businesses express facing five main pain points:

  • A vision that doesn’t fully translate into day-to-day behavior

  • Workforce disengagement and accountability

  • Short-term pressure when wanting long-term results

  • The world is fractured. There’s huge uncertainty. On a daily basis, we’re uncomfortable with this and unsettled by it. We feel it in our bodies. It impacts every decision we make.

  • Rather than flourishing within our businesses, we’re often lonely. From the top executive to the newest recruit, we can feel unrecognized and undervalued. Within the business itself, we lack the social structures to flourish.

At The Moules, we address each of these five points. Our vision is integrated into all business activities. We create uplifted, spirited, energized, and thriving workplaces. Through great listening skills, we lessen short-term pressures and deepen long-term commitments. We stand for a world that is made trustworthy and humane through a single-sentence fiduciary-legislated proposal.


What FIAT Designation Means

  • Democracy

through its governance, leadership, culture, operations, employee experience, and stakeholder relationships.

The FIAT Business Designation compels organisations to commit to redesigning civilisation from the place where they have the most agency—in the workplace.
