FSG Asia’s Post

I'm so excited to share insights from my journey at Harvard Business School! Initially, I embarked on this path with the noble intention of making a difference in people's lives through my nonprofit organization (Beellahy Foundation). However, what I've come to realize is that effecting change isn't solely about good intentions; it's about wielding power in the right way. Understanding power dynamics in society is paramount to creating meaningful impact. Power isn't static; it's woven within the way our society works. If we aspire to truly change the world for the better, we must comprehend how power operates and shapes our actions. This understanding is crucial for figuring out how to handle the challenges of changing organizations and society. So, whether you're ready to dive in or taking your time, knowing how power operates is KEY to making a real difference. Let's explore how power works and work together to make positive changes in our communities and beyond. #HarvardBusinessSchool #PowerDynamics #SocialChange #BeellahyFoundation #HajiaAdenikeTheUnstoppable #ImpactfulLeadership Dami Oguntade BSC/MSC/ACCA Affiliate/FMVADamilola OlaniyiJoscar Oriaro Ashoka Africa Martin Vitek Ani Blessing LAURRITTA OGOMA UWAKWE Aminu Aliyu Afunja Alok

🚨 Nonprofits: It's Time to Break Free from the Scarcity Mindset! 🚨 For too long, many organizations have operated with a scarcity mindset—"We can’t afford top talent" or "We don’t have the resources." This thinking limits the impact we can have. But imagine this: What if we embraced an abundance mindset? 💡 What if we invested in top talent and secured the resources we need? We could double our impact and change the conversation from how little we spend to how much good we accomplish. It's time to stop limiting our potential and start thinking bigger. 🌱 Let's challenge ourselves and our leadership to move beyond limitations and dream about what's possible when we operate from a mindset of abundance. 💥 What would happen if we committed to this shift? Do you think it’s possible? Are we too burned out to pursue this? Let’s grow together! #NonprofitLeadership #AbundanceMindset #Impact #Growth

Ulrich Frei: Transforming social impact in Latin America Ulrich Frei (MBA 1986) has spent the last 16 years reshaping FUNDES, an organization focused on empowering micro-, small-, and medium-sized businesses across Latin America. After a global career with Novartis, Frei pivoted to social impact, determined to use business as a tool for sustainable change. At IMD, Frei honed the leadership skills that helped him transition FUNDES from a philanthropic foundation to a self-sustaining, profit-driven entity. “Our main goal is to create value by helping small businesses grow, lifting their owners from – in some cases – extreme poverty into the middle classes,” Frei explains. Thanks to his IMD MBA Program experience, Frei has been able to tackle the complex challenges of Latin America’s economies, helping build sustainable businesses and stronger communities. “I have never enjoyed working as much as I do now,” he adds, highlighting his passion for lasting social impact.
