I have recently completed the masterclass taken by Prof. Tarun Khanna on the topic of "Context and trust" as a part of Aspire Institute leadership program. Prof. Tarun Khanna is the Jorge Paulo Lemann Professor at the Harvard Business School. For almost three decades, he has studied entrepreneurship as a means to social and economic development in emerging markets. For the masterclass he has discussed how trust co-relates with markets. Furthermore, how contextual intelligence matters in terms of adaptation towards various situation and changes in geological aspects. During the masterclass, professor strongly suggested that one is ought to have a mental map about things, specially for things to make sense in this modern era and absence of information is difficult to transact which created informational void. A sentence that I've heard in the class and it's running in my mind ever since, which goes social issues have been around for quite a while, it requires a leader to show up, identify and reduce those problems Lastly, he discusses about Microfinance and it's core concept. Throughout the masterclass we got real life examples of various organizations and startups including Alibaba, GAVI and Zipline. Overall, the session gave an idea of how trust and context plays a role on organizations and startups and building a brand.

The brilliant Sophie Bacq and Jill Kickul hosted the most amazing lineup of social entrepreneurship educators to share insights on the field of social enterprise. Thank you to all who join in the party from an impromptu on stage announcement of Dr. François Bonnici the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship and World Economic Forum Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship and the report on the State of Social Enterprise. The opening session on Saturday with Johanna Mair from Hertie School and Stanford Social Innovation Review latest research Time to Turn Upstream in Social Enterprise Research Keynote speakers Kai Hockerts Building the Bridge as You Walk on It: What Competencies Do Social Entrepreneurs Need and who just announced 15 PhD opportunities at multiple universities in Europe and Rachida Justo on Ownership Reimagined: New Frontiers in Social Entrepreneurship and Impact Investing. Thank you for joining the meeting on the Social Innovation Economy, to discuss our collective roadmap for establishing a social innovation sector. A social innovation sector has the potential to bring together traditionally distinct sectors — private, public, and civil society — to collectively work towards a new, inclusive economy. However, it lacks an enabling ecosystem to support the much-needed collective action for social innovation to flourish. With a supportive ecosystem, the social innovation sector can drive businesses, government entities, and civil society to collectively create solutions for everyone, including those traditionally marginalised. We aim to explore the possibility of developing common terminology, a shared framework for action. Dominico-Dentoni session on Born Systemic Ventures highlighted Catalyst 2030 The last paper presentation Kour, Singaram, Gartner & Nair Impact Opportunity Development: A Process View, and Farah Al Taji, Kummitha, Rana Dajani, Min Jang, Muqbel & Abdulaziz The Path from Volunteering to Social Entrepreneurship Intention The pre conference workshop by Brett Smith and colleagues from the Center for L.I.F.E.

The closing panel at the 20th Annual Social Entrepreneurship Conference at IMD in Lausanne saw five esteemed scholars discuss how the field has matured and gained increased legitimacy over the past two decades, as well as examine the opportunities for research in coming years. 💡 Impact accounting: Lisa Hehenberger from Esade spoke about the need to connect social impact metrics and accounting. “If we start including data around impact in our accounting systems that’s when these topics are going to be taken seriously, not just by certain enterprises but also by corporates,” she said. 💡 Catalysts for change: Filipe Santos from Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics also encouraged scholars to consider how to embed social political behavior inside large corporations. “What’s the process through which in large corporations some champions inside create change and launch impact? I don’t think there’s enough research on these challenges and processes.” 💡 Hybrid leaders: ESSEC Business School’s Anne-Claire Pache argued for developing “H-shaped” leaders, that is hybrid leaders that can operate at the intersection of three worlds: social and environmental issues, the world of business, and the world of the public sector. 💡 Community-based social entrepreneurship: The University of Cambridge’s Helen Haugh highlighted the growing importance of community-based social entrepreneurship and raised the idea of looking at how communities can own assets and develop sustainable business models. 💡 Scaling social enterprise: Tyler Wry from The Wharton School noted opportunities to identify social enterprises that have the ability to make a large impact at scale. “We’re looking at how we can actually leverage resources at scale, how we can influence policy. It’s a chance to do some really rigorous well-identified research,” he said. #IMDImpact #SEConf USC Brittingham Social Enterprise Lab (Marshall School of Business) Sophie Bacq Jill Kickul

We had an amazing time sharing insights and experiences at Vlerick Business School 's Entrepreneurship Day on September 26th at the Ghent Campus! The day centered around key dilemmas entrepreneurs face today: ⚫ Organic growth or acquisition? ⚫ Should I stay or step down as CEO? ⚫ Scaling wide or scaling deep? ⚫ And, a particularly pressing one: “Invest, test, or ignore new technologies?” Bjorn Cumps and Ann Claes were tasked to tackle this last dilemma and discuss its implications. Key takeaways: 1️⃣ With the rapid pace of technology, the bell curve of adoption, once defined on Roger’s market segments, is reshaping into a shark fin as described by Downes and Nunes. 2️⃣ Leadership plays a critical and central role in addressing these challenges. 3️⃣ The digital leadership model—which focuses on opportunity, capability, ideas, and people—translates into four leadership types: Voyager, Vested, Vigilant, and Visionary. 4️⃣ When deciding whether to test, invest, or ignore a new technology, always start with the why and align the decision with your company's core strategy—technology is a tool, not the end goal. 5️⃣ Consider the footprint of the technology to ensure a positive impact in total. 6️⃣ There are countless opportunities to harness technology with purpose. Use it to accelerate sustainability and drive meaningful change. To quote William Arthur Ward:“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.” As techno-optimists, Ann and Björn hope that the participants at Vlerick Business School’s Entrepreneurship Day 2024 left inspired and ready to lead with courage, innovation, and purpose! Let's push buttons and boundaries!

Cultivating Tomorrow’s Innovators: Identifying Entrepreneurial Attributes in Undergraduate Students Spotting and nurturing entrepreneurial attributes among undergraduates can help educators and industry leaders unlock immense potential. This is important because fostering innovation is not just necessary; it’s imperative. Some attributes to note among undergraduate are: 1. Curiosity and a Love of Learning: Entrepreneurs are perpetual learners driven by curiosity. These students often pursue knowledge beyond their coursework, showing keen interest in diverse subjects that might fuel future innovations. 2. :Resourcefulness and Resilience: The ability to handle setbacks and make the most of limited resources is fundamental. Students who demonstrate resilience in the face of challenges, whether in academic projects or personal pursuits, may have the tenacity required for entrepreneurial success. 3. Proactivity and Initiative: Look for students who are not just participants but initiators. These individuals often start new clubs, lead projects, or engage in community service, showing a willingness to lead and effect change. 4. Risk-Taking and Comfort with Ambiguity: Entrepreneurial minds are not daunted by uncertain outcomes and are often involved in activities that require stepping out of their comfort zones. These students might experiment with innovative project ideas or pursue paths less followed. 5. Team Orientation and Leadership: The ability to work well within a team and inspire others is crucial. Students who naturally assume leadership roles or who can navigate and unite diverse groups have a foundational skill set for entrepreneurial leadership. 6. Visionary Thinking: Entrepreneurs often think in terms of what could be, rather than what it is. Those students who envision large-scale solutions to problems or who are passionate about making a difference in the world display attributes that align with entrepreneurial mindsets. Identifying and supporting these traits can help foster a generation of innovators and leaders ready to face the challenges of tomorrow’s business world. Let’s invest in these young minds by providing them with opportunities to explore, innovate, and lead. #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #HigherEducation #Leadership #BusinessLeaders #Startups #FutureLeaders
