We Can Do This

What are distinct differences between a social venture and a traditional for-profit business? This week on the podcast, we're joined by Neil Malhotra to discuss what is a theory of change, and how it is an essential component to communicating your mission and measuring its effectiveness. Neil Malhotra is a professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he directs The Center for Social Innovation. He is the author of the recently released Frontiers in Social Innovation: The Essential Handbook for Creating, Deploying, and Sustaining Creative Solutions to Systemic Problems. This book is a compilation of chapters from some of the smartest thinkers in social innovation. It serves as a handbook for anyone who is looking to understand the key components of social innovation and what are the themes that someone should be thinking about and considering, and studying as it comes to engaging in business in a way that makes an impact on people and the planet.
