Fw: Don't Give Money to Haiti Now

"When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world." George Washington Carver What is Social Entrepreneurship? Statement of Faith You can find other "Market with Meaning" but you definitely want to see "Profit with Purpose".

The Latest From the SSIR Blog Perla Ni: Don't Give Money to Haiti Now If there is any lesson to be learned about how to donate to international disasters, it is this: don't give your money when you first see the disaster splashed across TV.

Martin Many books and articles support the view that an organization must choose between creating value through innovation and creating value by building scale and wringing out cost. The thinking styles and capabilities required for success appear to be diametrically opposed. Innovators are right-brained people who rely heavily on their intuition, whereas the leaders of large, efficiency-oriented organizations achieve results through rigorous, continuously repeated analytical processes and reject decisions based on instinct and judgment.
