SUMMARY:Grand Rounds Lecture - The Integration of Innovation\, Markets\, and Impact: The Next Big Thing?
DESCRIPTION:Grand Rounds Lecture \nThe Integration of Innovation\, Markets\, and Impact: The Next Big Thing? \nOctober 24  |  4pm – 5:30pm  |  Room 708  |  RSVP \nEfforts to improve the world and increase one‚Äôs wealth have long been characterized as opposing forces. If Mother Teresa and Ebenezer Scrooge walked into a bar\, it would make a great premise for a joke.Today\, it might also be the origin story of a social enterprise or a meetup for impact investors. Tomorrow\, many argue\, it will be the dominant trend. In this talk\, Dr. John Gargani will critically examine this trend\, which he defines as the integration of market practices and mindsets with efforts to promote social\, environmental\, health and other impacts. Garganisuggests that doing so forces organizations and institutions to redefine three fundamental concepts‚Äîimpact\, innovation\, and the greater good‚Äîand develop new evaluation and research methods to advance them. Gargani providesexamples of some new methods and conclude by asking whether this trend is democratizing social impact or restricting it further.  \nDr. John Gargani President\, Gargani + Company\, Inc. \nJohn Gargani is the President and Founder of Gargani + Company\, Inc.\,a program design and evaluation firm located in Berkeley\, California.
