The 2nd Annual NYU Social Innovation Symposium was held on Friday, February 10th at the NYU’s Stern School of Business. Hundreds of students and practitioners from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors convened for case studies and panel discussions about social innovation and social entrepreneurship. It made for a day of enriching candid discussion, and an atmosphere of anticipation to hear the keynote speaker, Jonathan Greenblatt, interviewed by Spencer Ante, Deputy Bureau Chief of The Wall Street Journal.
Peter Henry, Dean of NYU's Stern School of Business, remarked in his introduction that social entrepreneurs work with a broad canvas. They source opportunities to create value for businesses and society, which is something Jonathan Greenblatt has done throughout his career. Now a Special Advisor to President Obama and Director of the Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation at the White House, Greenblatt has worked within both nonprofit and for-profit sectors.
Discussions about social enterprise and not-for-profits are often dominated by the topic of measurement. Measuring output, outcomes, and impact can be useful for improving organizations and, furthermore, investors and donors increasingly demand such data.
