I have been following both Vijay Govindarajan and Muhammad Yunus for quite some time and I think their ideas marry nicely, with huge applications to our social entrepreneurship projects that we'll be taking on in the coming weeks. Let's start with some definitions:
At Weatherhead we espouse the strategic importance of applying design thinking to businesses. It allows us to discover a specific problem that people are living out, acknowledge constraints of the situation, and design a better future, sometimes from scratch. This inherently optimistic view is also seen at events like the Tanzania Social Entrepreneurship Forum, and the Scale Tanzania Forum. With such a buzz about social innovation already on the ground in Tanzania, I am excited to learn from all of the entrepreneurs that we encounter and hopefully apply some of the principles learned from Yunus and Govindarajan to contribute in some meaningful way.
