This is particularly true of social enterprises in industries such as clean tech, healthy food, arts & entertainment, health & fitness, education, and sales of green or fair trade products. There does not have to be a conflict between social impact and profitability. Many companies have successfully bridged the gap, including Patagonia, SC Johnson, Honest Tea, Recycle Technologies, and Young Rembrandts. The keys are to have a clear vision on what you seek to accomplish, and to be flexible and creative about how you accomplish your goals. Attendees will participate in an interactive workshop based on a case study. What You Will Learn • How to use your Mission statement to quickly determine whether to pursue an initiative, • How to utilize the “Bend the Curve” process to create strategies that bridge the perceived conflict between social, environmental and financial goals, • Techniques to obtain diverse input from a variety of stakeholders, • Ideas for resolving a commonly perceived conflict.
