From June 20th to July 2, I attended the Executive Program in Social Entrepreneurship (EPSE) at Stanford Graduate School of Business which was one of the greatest learning experiences I’ve ever had. The courses of this rich and intensive program were interactive and diverse covering topics such as; mission (Jim Phills), strategy and execution (Robert Burgelman), Innovation (Jim Phills), social entrepreneurship by design (Jim Patell) how to change things when change is hard (Chip Heath), building and leading effective teams (Deb Gruenfeld), the power of social media (Jennifer Aaker), role of power and influence for leading large systems change (Jeff Pfeffer), balancing social and business objectives (Bill Barnett). In addition to the inmense knowledge that the class acquired learning from the superb Stanford faculty, the participating 48 social entrepreneurs that traveled from 15 different countries learned so much from each other and formed long-lasting friendships. One such great social entrepreneur and a dear classmate, Ben Stone, from Indego Africa has written an excellent summary of this program. Thanks Ben!
