The Doing Good and Doing Well (DGDW) conference is an annual two day event entirely organized and run by IESE Business School students. Each year, students pick a theme for the conference related to responsible business. It’s an opportunity to hear directly from professionals about the challenges and opportunities they experience on a day-to-day basis, and how their jobs and organizations are interconnected with society.
INNOVATIVE BUSINESS MODELS THAT CREATE MEANINGFUL IMPACT
This year, the Doing Good Doing Well conference has chosen to focus on some of these topical innovations that are changing the face of society, of interaction and of business and how they can engender a more responsible business culture. For example, does the sharing economy really make a positive social and environmental impact? Does the rise of impact investing provide social entrepreneurs with the perfect tools to start impact-driving businesses? What are some of the new and innovative ways of financing the poorest in our society? How can we use design thinking to create solutions to alleviate poverty? We will debate and discuss these and other topics, and be inspired by keynote speeches from some of the people and the companies that are on the forefront of this innovation led transformation
