Overview

Social sector leaders span the business, nonprofit, and government worlds. They have diverse passions, goals, roles, and responsibilities. They may be executives, managers, entrepreneurs, board members, philanthropists, or volunteers. Some have spent most of their careers in one sector; others have moved between business, nonprofit, and government jobs. Yet they are united by a common purpose: the pursuit of greater effectiveness and social impact in their social sector endeavors.

CASE aims to serve social sector leaders interested in the thoughtful application of business expertise for the improvement of social conditions. We are committed to exploring the adaptation of business concepts, tools and skills to the social sector in appropriate, practical and effective ways. This website is one forum for this exploration, and we regularly share our perspective and those of others through our publications, newsletter, and ideas. If you find yourself intrigued by this topic, then we encourage you to Join CASE and subscribe to our newsletter.

In addition to being a thought leader on the use of business-inspired approaches for social good, CASE seeks to promote concrete resources and opportunities for social ventures looking to engage with MBAs and tap into business expertise; for business leaders interested in bringing their business skills to the social sector; and for aspiring social entrepreneurs seeking to connect with like-minded individuals.
