Friday 12:15 in the company of: Roger Martin (Dean, School of Management, University of Toronto), Jackie Khor (Rockefeller Foundation), Glenn Yago (Milken Institute), Henry Obi (Aureos Capital), Matthew Bishop (The Economist).
Matthew Bishop was quite happy to play the role of provocateur: the idea of a social stock market is crazy, you put money in but what do you get back etc.
Jackie Khor and Henry again highlighted the lack of a clear definition of what is a social entrepreneur. However, there were passionate defences of what they claim is a new area from the floor and how that even if it is not yet fully defined social entrepreneurs are already making a difference.
The few days we have had together, ended as it had started with Adivasis. We left with their words and music, and their call that we must continue to demystify what we mean by a Social Entrepreneur, but we must never forget the social part of what we are trying to do.
So that was the end of a special few days. It was a good chance for the floor to speak with passion and to fire us up as we all go out to try and do better what we do.
