Social Impact Strategy: Tools for Entrepreneurs and Innovators
This course provides an overview of social impact strategy and social entrepreneurship, as well as key concepts and tools for getting started as a changemaker. Students will learn how to innovate and design new ideas, as well as new organizational forms to put those ideas into action. Students who take this course will be better prepared to start their own social impact organizations.
Students will turn their passion for changing the world into concrete plans for launching a nonprofit or for-profit venture designed to achieve a social goal by working through four stages: define, design, pilot, and scale. This course will teach students how to think through problems systematically, develop and test innovative solutions, assess risk, competition, and performance, and spread impact in a financially sustainable manner.
