“We asked our people where they wanted us to make a difference,” says Co-founder Andrew Dean. “They chose Health, Environment, Lifestyle and Poverty—so we organized the business around those pillars.And we keep ourselves honest with B Corp accreditation.” A PURPOSE THAT AUDITS ITSELF DB Results earned B Corp certification during the pandemic—an intentionally rigorous process the company embraced not as a marketing badge, but as an external control system.“You can tell yourself how great you are and start believing it,” Dean notes. “B Corp forces the evidence—policies, measurements, outcomes—so purpose isn’t just intention; it’s audited practice.” Now approaching renewal, DB Results is moving early to align with the new, higher B Corp standards. Certification also opened doors. The firm was featured by the BBC in its Common Good series, which spotlighted organizations delivering measurable community impact.That feature catalyzed DB Results’ decision to expand the reach of its wellness product (more on that below) from Australia to 140 countries. PRODUCTS FOR PURPOSE — OUTCOMES OVER EFFORT DB Results sits at the intersection of consulting, product, and IP—with a strategic tilt toward productized solutions as AI reshapes traditional consulting. “We’re shifting from body-hours to outcomes and solutions,” says CEO Gavin Bunshaw. “AI will replace more commodity consulting. Our advantage is the domain IP and products we’ve already built.” Dean lists some key examples: • Am i OK (MiOK): Originally conceived during Australia’s catastrophic bushfires—and then widely adopted during COVID—MiOK is a selfcheck mental health and wellbeing app used by frontline responders, clinicians, staff, and volunteers. It’s now available in 140 countries and provided free to a growing list of nonprofits, including The Salvation Army, Mental Health Foundation Australia, Down Syndrome Victoria, Men With Spirit, and Outside the Locker Room. “We prefer a hand up to a handout,” Bunshaw says. “Technology can deliver a 10,000:1 impact if you design for scale.” • LenexaCare: Partnering with a Melbourne innovator, DB Results is commercializing smart bedsheet technology that measures weight and movement to predict and prevent pressure injuries. Trials have reported zero occurrences where deployed.The solution is gaining traction in Thailand and beyond. 115 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 10 DB RESULTS
