LEAD142 CM - Leading Social Innovation: How Award-Winning Social Entrepreneurs Change the World

Social entrepreneurs are motivated by the desire to see the world as it can be, not merely as it is. This course is about the leadership opportunities and challenges of creating and sustaining creative solutions that address social problems-whether through nonprofit, for-profit, or hybrid models of change. Students learn about the key determinants of social innovation: the complexity of the world’s problems, theoretical frameworks rooted in psychology and business management, community building and ecosystem development, governance and funding models, scalability and growth, and impact measurement techniques. Students learn from and work directly alongside multi-award winning social entrepreneurs and practitioners who are creating systems change in their respective sectors.
