TOP REVIEWS FROM BUSINESS STRATEGIES FOR SOCIAL IMPACT
Great overview of business strategies for social impact. For the impact investing (module 4), the data definitely need updating (2016 data in 2020?)
I really enjoyed the methodology. Very student-friendly while also challenging my current state. I got tons of insights ready to implement.
A bit basic and slow to start with, but gets quite good on the impact and measurement side of things, to make it more real and practical (vs just theoretical)
This course made me think much deeper about purpose and passion and how I'd like to contribute to greater social impact in my career.
