About the Founder
Patricia Rimok is a communications strategist, public policy advisor, author, entrepreneur, and creator of the HeartConomics Relational Intelligence™ framework and platform.
With over 30 years of experience in organizational communications, stakeholder engagement, public policy, and strategic business advisory services, Patricia has worked across government, the private sector, and entrepreneurial ecosystems, helping organizations navigate complexity, build relational trust, address workforce challenges, and navigate transformational change.
Originally developed through the HeartConomics framework and book, HeartConomics has evolved into a technology-enabled relational intelligence platform designed to help organizations better identify, structure, and operationalize critical workforce and organizational signals, including trust, burnout vulnerability, psychological safety, leadership effectiveness, collaboration quality, workforce wellbeing, and organizational resilience.
The platform is designed to complement modern workforce and Human Capital Management (HCM) systems by helping organizations:
• identify relational and workforce risks
• prioritize leadership interventions
• track expected versus actual organizational outcomes over time
• strengthen workforce performance, retention, resilience, and trust
Patricia’s work focuses on the growing gap between traditional organizational metrics and the human dynamics increasingly driving performance, innovation, adaptability, and long-term sustainability. Her approach combines:
-
relational intelligence
-
communications strategy
-
workforce and organizational dynamics
-
stakeholder trust
-
leadership accountability
-
and measurable business outcomes
Through HeartConomics Relational Intelligence™, Patricia is helping organizations explore how human-centered intelligence and relational dynamics can become measurable drivers of organizational health, workforce performance, and sustainable growth.
HeartConomics Relational Intelligence™ is supported by a growing multidisciplinary ecosystem of AI, SaaS, communications, and strategic advisory collaborators helping advance the platform’s development and future enterprise integration capabilities.
In parallel to HeartConomics, Patricia continues to lead strategic initiatives through ib2ib Group, supporting business development, market intelligence, partnerships, entrepreneurship, and sustainable growth projects across multiple sectors.
Why HeartConomics Exists
HeartConomics was born from a fundamental question:
Why do so many systems — whether in societies, workplaces, institutions, or communities — struggle to sustain trust, resilience, wellbeing, and human connection during periods of pressure, uncertainty, and change?
As I began writing HeartConomics, the world was facing growing instability and human suffering across multiple regions and conflicts. At the same time, organizations everywhere were confronting rising burnout, disengagement, distrust, workforce fragmentation, leadership fatigue, and growing relational disconnects inside workplaces and institutions.
What became increasingly clear to me was that many of the systems we rely on to measure success were highly effective at tracking operational performance, financial outcomes, and productivity — but far less effective at understanding the human and relational dynamics shaping those outcomes.
I began exploring whether qualities such as trust, psychological safety, empathy, leadership credibility, workforce wellbeing, collaboration, and relational resilience could become more visible, measurable, and actionable inside organizations.
From that vision, HeartConomics emerged.
Originally developed as a communications and organizational framework centered on relational leadership and human-centered performance, HeartConomics has since evolved into a relational intelligence platform designed to help organizations better identify workforce risks, strengthen leadership decision-making, and connect human dynamics to measurable organizational outcomes over time.
At its core, HeartConomics is grounded in a simple belief:
When relationships weaken, organizations weaken. When people thrive, organizations become stronger, more resilient, and more sustainable.
The goal of HeartConomics is not simply to encourage more compassionate workplaces, but to help organizations operationalize the human factors increasingly shaping workforce performance, adaptability, trust, innovation, and long-term organizational health.
