1/ Inspiration

Although social business has grown tremendously over the past years, many people have not yet heard about the idea of solving social problems in a financially self-sustainable way. Speeches, lectures, conferences and publications help to further spread the concept of social business and to reach an interested audience all around the world.

Lectures and Speeches at Universities and Schools

Lectures at universities and schools are a great way to introduce the topic to students. More specifically, single lectures could further be expanded into full courses or entire programs on social business.

Speeches & Moderation at Conferences and Events

Services also include speeches and moderation of conferences and events with a track record of moderating international conferences such as the Global Social Business Summit in Malaysia and Mexico or TEDxVienna in 2011.

(Co-) Authoring of Case Studies and Publications

Publications such as case studies or other reports and articles enable to reach an international audience. Some of these publications will be co-authored with partners from universities and other organizations.

2/ Ideation

Tackling persistent and yet unsolved social problems makes it inevitable to think about new and innovative solutions. Coming together with other individuals to exchange thoughts can lead to groundbreaking new solutions. Workshops are an ideal tool to develop new ideas and solutions together with likeminded people.

Workshops on Ideation

These one or two day workshops provide an introduction to the concept & best practice examples. Moreover, the aim of such workshops is to develop first social business ideas that address selected social problems.

Workshops on specific Topics

These workshops cover more specific themes and focus on topics such as Social Business Strategy, Financing Social Business, Social Impact Measurement, Human Centered Design for Social Business, etc.

Social Business Boot Camps

During a Social Business Boot Camp, social entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to work on specific questions related to their business models in order to challenge and refine their current models.

3/ Implementation

While great ideas are an important starting point, only the successful implementation of a social business idea will finally and ideally generate social impact. In order to facilitate the implementation of social business ideas, there is a broad range of consulting services for universities, companies, entrepreneurs and foundations.
