💿What is the problem?
Businesses have an incredible amount of influence and power, but their leaders are not leading responsibly. This results in increased pollution, violations of human rights, unhappy employees, a myopic, short-term view of success and unethical behavior. Employees and external stakeholders all lose in this scenario. Additionally, businesses and the citizen sector are missing out on opportunities to collaborate and co-create solutions. Finally, many social sector organizations could drastically improve their ability to maximize impact by incorporating ideas and innovations from the private sector. Most, however, lack human resources, expertise, or funding to effectively implement such solutions.
What is the opportunity
Emzingo is providing transformation. Transformation for participant = increased self-awareness, a deep understanding of sustainable value, and ability to co-create solutions. Transformation for social sector organization = capability building and application of effective market principles to increase impact.
We do this by connecting businesspeople with social impact projects around the world. Participants learn from being immersed in a new culture and attempting to innovate in new ways, and organizations on the ground benefit from the technical expertise of the participants. We couple this with an innovative leadership development curriculum over 8 weeks that develops core competencies that global leaders require – emotional intelligence, sustainability, authenticity, innovation, and global management.
The result is a multiplier effect for business and society. Private sector leaders make more responsible decisions, positively influencing their peers and organizations. Social sector organizations become more effective and create a greater social impact in the communities in which they operate.
I am Bringing SENS to Life through working in the space between the business and citizen sector!
