Episode Description

Today’s buzz: Shared value in education. What if your company could deliver shareholder returns while simultaneously helping to solve our global education crisis, and better prepare the workforce for the jobs you need to fill? You can! A growing number of smart companies are using their core business strategy and operations to create the power to solve education solutions, far beyond the reach of their limited giving budgets. The experts speak. Kate Tallant, FSG: “By aligning profit with purpose, companies can become essential partners for schools, nonprofits, and governments in overcoming the global education crisis.” Amanda Gardiner, Pearson: “Companies should not be managing their reputations, they should be managing their impacts.” (Christine Bader blog in The Guardian) Brittany Lothe, SAP: “Plan like a pessimist, think like a realist, act like an optimist and – above all – love what you do." Join us for Business’s New Role in Education: Creating Shared Value.
