Description:
One of the key leadership challenges of our time is to find new ways to harness the innovation, technology, networks, and problem-solving skills of the private sector, in partnership with others, to support international development goals. Business leaders have a growing interest, both in terms of risk management and harnessing new opportunities, to get engaged. Some of the world’s most successful companies have already recognized the potential to turn innovative solutions to development challenges into profit-making ventures and new forms of social investment. This paper looks at some of these innovative approaches.
