Corporate Social Responsibility: Strategies to Create Business and Social Value
October 18 – 21, 2006
Through an in-depth exploration of the dilemmas, challenges, and complexities inherent to existing models of corporate social responsibility, the program will push the frontiers of the field and bring into focus the next generation of issues facing practitioners. Participants will learn how to:

Drive corporate social responsibility throughout the organization, integrating it with corporate strategy, decision making, and risk assessment;
Measure the impact of corporate social responsibility strategies on the bottom line by incorporating them into business performance analytics;
Realign corporate culture with corporate social responsibility strategies;
Understand the political context of operations, and successfully interact and communicate with governments, NGOs, and key stakeholders;
Ensure that systems are in place for both avoiding potential “damaging events” and mitigating the effects of a crisis after it has occurred; and
Identify and explore the most critical emerging issues facing the field of corporate social responsibility in the next decade.
