Goal-Oriented Disaster Relief and Recovery: A New Approach for Corporate Engagement While companies have grown increasingly sophisticated in their preparedness and response to humanitarian crises over the past decade, government and relief agencies continue craft their "asks" as open-ended appeals for corporate cash. But beyond cash, companies have vital expertise that should be thoughtfully brought to the task of achieving specific relief and recovery goals. This interactive workshop will focus on the case studies of the Japanese and Haitian Earthquakes, culling the best from the Business Civic Leadership Center (BCLC)'s latest research and experience. Attendees will also step back to consider how the business community should engage with infrastructure and environmental challenges of this magnitude going forward.

Strategies for Sustainable Value: Leading the Next Great Transformation One of the world's top authorities on the implications of sustainable development for business strategy, Professor Hart will share the latest findings from his research and corporate consulting work. Professor Hart will outline his framework for connecting the agendas of social sustainability and value creation within the real-world pressures of budgets, bosses, and quarterly earnings reports. Drawing on the latest edition of his book Capitalism at the Crossroads: The Unlimited Business Opportunities in Solving the World's Most Difficult Problems as well as his path-breaking article "The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid," written in collaborating with C.K. Prahalad, Hart will discuss both why and how companies can move "beyond greening" toward transformational, strategic change by shattering the trade-offs mindset, thinking like disrupters, and building native capability.

INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS
I. Deep-Dive Case Study: This workshop provides a unique opportunity to explore the concepts introduced in Professor Hart's keynote presentation through an in-depth look at the work of SC Johnson's "base of the pyramid" innovation projects in Africa. Illustrating how the best of academic thinking translates to the field, this deep-dive, interactive session will pull the lessons-learned from how the company has used a "whole-systems thinking" approach to prioritize its investments, engage in deep dialogue with consumers, co-invent solutions, build trust, and develop an ecosystem of local partners on the ground. The session will feature small table discussion, and candid Q&A will also include a look at the "next generation" skills needed to implement this approach.
