The future is social entrepreneurship | Kerryn Krige | TEDxJohannesburgSalon

If we are truly to see social and economic change happening in the world, we have to embrace the wealth of possibilities in the counter-intuitive partnership between for-profit and not-for-profit.
Kerryn heads the Network for Social Entrepreneurs at the Gordon Institute of Business Science, which focuses on achieving both social and economic change through social enterprise. She has worked in the social sector since 2001 with numerous UK charities, and began her career as a journalist for business news channel Summit TV. She holds a Masters in Development Studies. Together with journalist Gus Silber, she co-authored the ‘The Disruptors,’ the book that inspired the theme for this event. Kerryn teaches social enterprise at GIBS and writes regularly on the topic.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Really appreciate the description presented here. The wall between for-profit and non-profit is still ingrained in the mindsets of a lot of entrepreneurs.

I started a business and i have been having the struggle on how to classify our activities and this is all i needed to help me. Thank you so much.

[@williammenard6802]

Oh what business did u start?

[@romancmt]

Do you still on the stage ?

[@ScottDuncanCoaching]

Great to see Scottish Widows as the early beginnings of insurance, it is a shame the private sector took the sector and made it hard for the Social Enterprise Sector to be at the scale to compete/start-up within that sector. LEAP Energy is a great social enterprise in Scotland that helps business, charities and social enterprises save on gas and electricity bills, re-investing back into reducing fuel poverty in Scotland.
