The CSR Scoop - 9/11/2015
This week’s Scoop is inspired by the back-to-school buzz in the air! We explore new models of purpose based learning, building systems and skill sets for change, and the way skills-based volunteering taps into the core motivations of corporate employees. All of our authors this week articulate the need for significant change in our current way of doing business - whether it’s in academia, business or the social sector. Our pencils are sharpened, our notebooks are fresh and we’re ready to dive in!
