This year, we are bringing together professionals and students to learn more about the latest framework developed by Harvard PhD Michael Porter, Shared Value (http://sharedvalue.org/about-shared-value). Shared value is an emerging language in business sustainability and profitability. The model aims to bring together public and private partners to create impact. We will have three to four live case studies present their successes and challenges in implementing this in a variety of businesses, from healthcare and consumer products, to green energy and social enterprise.
