Course Introduction
Companies that make employees feel a part of something greater than themselves are attracting top talent. Research reveals that money is not the primary motivator for employees and statistics show employment at social enterprises has gone up by double digits over last two years. Susan Davis, the course mentor, is the co-founder of BRAC USA, an affiliate of BRAC that operates in eleven countries and has helped millions in their mission to end poverty via a business approach.
In this course, Davis shares her experience with social organizations and her strategies for integrating a social entrepreneurial mindset into existing businesses. She defines the terms social entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurship, and talks about the promising phenomena of top talents using their abilities and entrepreneurial drive to solve social problems to make real change and transform the nature of business. She also discusses how businesses need to move from traditional philanthropy to creating a business model where everyone can benefit, and the need for leaders to have a succession strategy and build a collaborative tissue of teamwork. She also presents BRAC as a case study.
