This document provides an agenda for the "Business Fights Poverty" event in Oxford 2019. The agenda includes:
- An opening and welcome session with keynote speakers from Unilever and GSK discussing how embedding purpose into business enhances performance and impact.
- Panel discussions on authentically embedding purpose into business and how businesses can take a stand on social issues.
- Roundtable workshops throughout the day on topics like gender equality, human rights, and partnerships.
- Closing remarks and a reception to conclude the event.
I gave this presentation to the Stanford Graduate School of Business. The course was on Reputation Management. This presentation (minus the voiceover) offers a framework and case studies for brands and their behavior, including the CEO.
The following presentation highlights a few interesting aspects of the current disruptive zeitgeist and is rather meant to be a ‘tango with the terminology’ than a complete discourse on the topic. As a former copywriter, creative director and entrepreneur in Germany, Austria and in South Africa, I want to kick off a conversation with you around creative disruption, change, giants, misfits, implications for advertising, and how I fit into the big picture to serve and benefit your business. Enjoy the ride!

Some Brands don't like change.
Change doesn't much care.
Today the people live in the network era,
while lots of brands stick in the industrial age,
relying on industrial strategies, tactics & metrics.
If brands don't want to loose touch with their customers they must stop walking the industrial walk and change the ways how they operate and communicate.
But how?
An answer is swirling around in bits and pieces, as lots of different, savvy people already shared interesting and inspiring thoughts about how brands should change.
We simply put those statements togehter to unfold the whole story.

Join us as we continue our community’s global conversation about the collective journey From Revolution to Renaissance in brand building for an abundant future.
Together, we will explore quickly-evolving opportunities and challenges in creating, measuring and communicating brand value, customer trust and reputation; new forms of creating shared value within your supply chain; imaginative social innovation in response to economic gloom and high unemployment, brand led positive behavior change; and new bold visions of restorative, 'net positive' business models with profit, as well as environmental and social benefits baked in by design.
We will also be looking at emerging impact investing trends and strategies, and the impacts of EU legislation on tomorrow's brand marketing landscape. And to top it all off, we will gaze at the developing landscape of ROI models you can use to translate these new forms of value to your CMO, CFO, CEO and the rest of the C-Suite.
How are the world's best brands changing the world and becoming stronger for it? The Hero's Handbook looks under the boot of such companies as Unilever and Patagonia and shows you how they leverage sustainability and corporate responsibility to be better brands - and businesses.

#AllKlassic - Marketing Trends In Social Entrepreneurship (Summary)
According to Forbes, Millennials will soon be the largest segment in the US labor market. However, many of us are opting for social entrepreneurship to satisfy that sense of “meaningful labor.” How will this drive a paradigm shift in the hiring procedures of corporate America? Is this replacing Corporate Responsibility efforts?
In my presentation deck, I cover the marketing strategies of brands, startups and individuals who are developing solutions to 10 of the world’s most pressing issues: Transportation, Public Safety, Homelessness, Sustainability, Education, Food & Health, Disability, Energy, Inequality, & Income.
You will be given a bird’s eye view of a relevant culture shift of new innovations that are capturing the imagination of a world empowered voice their frustrations with scalable business models.
The brand leaders of the future will be sustainable brands that successfully deliver net positive value to society. Doing less bad is not enough intomorrow’s economy. It’s time to re-imagine and redesign our brands, business and society for a healthy, regenerative future. Participate in active discussion alongside hundreds of leaders and actively reimagine what’s possible. Look for opportunities to redesign every aspect of your brand and business and move models further away from “Take, Make, Waste” to those that are regenerative by nature. London, UK, November 3-5 2014. www.SB14London.com
In this third and last part of the course :
- we add a couple more ideas on how to apply CSR in SMEs
- reporting, yes / no, how?
- how to connect - personal - actions with the company’s purpose?
- what is my personal role of influence in the workplace and in society?
- what is the right structure and right environment to allow CSR to thrive in an SME?
- how can we best communicate internally and externally CSR in an SME?
We live in a world that has gone through an incredible transformation in the last decades. Those transformations did not only impact our economy, but also our society and biosphere. Our biggest challenge is to build back better those different layers while leaving no-one behind. That will entail rebuilding strongly the trust between the different generations, the societal entities, and the ecosystem. Healthcare is a critical component to ensure harmony for the Younger and next generation.

However, accessing and maximizing on the potential available to them requires that they think without a box , and we are here to support them in their journey" Patricia Monthe

WELCOME ABOUT US
PURPOSE, WHEN EMBEDDED INTO BUSINESS, CAN BE A POWERFUL DRIVER FOR
BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND POSITIVE SOCIETAL CHANGE.
Today’s event brings together individuals from across business, civil society and
government who are working at the cutting edge of putting purpose into action
- to unlock business innovation and uncover solutions to the urgent social and
environmental challenges we face.
In our individual efforts to embed purpose, we are on a shared journey. Today is a
chance for us to exchange our personal experience and practical advice.
It is also an opportunity for an honest discussion about the challenges to embedding
purpose authentically into business, exploring where progress is being made and where
efforts are falling short.
Above all, today is an opportunity to make new connections and build new
relationships.
We’ve designed the event to help you discover the insights and people that you
need. Visit the Knowledge Zones, curated with our event partners, make use of the
Connection Zone, drop into the permanent Tea and Coffee area, visit our Book Shop,
and stay on for our post-event reception.
Thank you for taking the time to join us today. This event is one moment in a year-round
programme of collaboration. On the back cover are some ideas for how you can get
involved over the coming weeks and months.
We hope you find the insights and relationships you need to unlock the power of
purpose.

communicating the outputs in a targeted way.
We have current and new Challenges focused on:
• What role can business play in tackling gender-based violence?
• How can business advance gender equality across the value chain by
engaging men as allies?
• What can large businesses do to strengthen micro, small and medium
enterprise ecosystems in frontier markets?
• How can we embed purpose authentically into business?
• How can consumer goods companies harness technology to most
effectively tackle modern slavery in their global supply chains?
We are exploring potential Challenges on the social aspects of tackling
plastics pollution, farmer livelihoods, impact measurement and the future
of work. If you have a new idea, please get in touch!

for real or just rhetoric? This

companies are embedding
purpose into their operations
and business models, where
progress is being made and
where actions are falling short.

between business and traditional development actors, but
across both development issues and business areas to

solutions. We’ll be looking at the barriers and success
factors for this kind of approach and asking the question:
how can we wholesale shift business, NGO, UN and
donors to make such practice the new normal?

HOW CAN BUSINESS BREAK
THE STRUCTURAL BARRIERS TO
GENDER EQUALITY AT WORK?
Curated with CARE. Companies are starting
to explore the more ingrained issues of power
relations between men and women and the global
care economy. AB InBev, CARE USA, Stanford
University’s VMWare Women’s Leadership Lab
and Business Fights Poverty are exploring how
organisations can advance gender equality
by engaging men as allies across the value
chain. Meanwhile, Unilever and Oxfam have just
published a briefing on ‘Why unpaid care by
women and girls matters to business, and how
companies can address it.’ Come and share your
insights on how and why business has a role
to play in tackling these structural barriers to
women’s equality in the workplace.

HELPING SMALL SCALE FARMERS
IN FRONTIER MARKETS TO
THRIVE IN MODERN SUPPLY
CHAINS
Curated with Mercy Corps. In modern supply
chains the system of organisations, people,
activities, and resources involved in moving a
product from source to consumer is complex.
This session will explore how to strengthen small-
scale farmer resilience in modern supply chains by
building a stronger appreciation of the incentives
that drive action among key stakeholders, and
how best to align those incentives to drive more
sustainable outcomes.

MADE IN POVERTY - THE HUMAN
COST BEHIND GLOBAL SUPPLY
CHAINS AND WHAT NEEDS TO
CHANGE
Curated by Oxfam GB. Many of the people in global
supply chains face appalling working conditions
and struggle to make ends meet. And their share
of the price consumers pay is going down. Taking
Oxfam’s campaign on global food supply chains
as a starting point, we discuss the systemic nature
of labour rights issues – and explore the action
needed by businesses, governments, investors and
citizens for workers and small farmers to have a
decent and dignified standard of living.

OPPOSITES ATTRACT -
MOVING FROM CRITIC TO
COLLABORATOR
Curated by The Partnering Initiative and WWF UK.
The session will look at the more unusual side of
partnerships, bringing a panel of experts and the
audience together to work interactively through
three fictionalised scenarios which are closely
aligned to our panellists’ real-life experiences
of challenging and sometimes dangerous
collaborations. We’ll look at how to retain integrity
in partnering, and what to do when partnerships
get too close or when red lines look like they’re
being crossed.
