INSEAD FAMILY BUSINESS INSIGHTS FOR INSIDERS October 2011
Sharing Knowledge and Family Business Understanding
Dear Family Enterprise Friends!
Welcome to this month's edition of our INSEAD Family Enterprise "Family Business Insights", your overview and update of the latest news on family enterprise around the world.
To Look Forward To
SEPA - The Social Entrepreneurship and Philanthropy Accelerator pilot programme for experienced Family Business and Family Office members will take place on the Fontainebleau campus from the 15th until the 16th of November. SEPA is a cooperation between PWC and INSEAD's Wendel International Centre for Family Enterprise as well as INSEAD's Social Entrepreneurship Initiative. Its aim is to provide a guided platform of knowledge and exchange with case studies presented by family business social entrepreneurs and other leading figures in the field on how to accelerate the building of bridges between families in business and social entrepreneurs through philanthropy, hybrid value chains, synergies and an ecosystem approach to sustainable business operations.
Should you be a family business or family office leader and already actively involved in philanthropy or social entrepreneurship and wish to take part in the programme, feel free to contact us

Insights from the 21st Century Talent Sessions at Ashoka's Changemakers' Campus: Paris 2011
On June 21-22, 2011 Ashoka brought together over a thousand changemakers from across Europe and the globe to work together to tackle some of the biggest challenges our society faces. One of the most critical - and yet highly solvable - issues is how to prepare our global workforce to thrive in the turbulent and rapidly changing 21st Century. One of the workshops focused on the social entrepreneurship in shaping our societies in the future as seen by INSEAD's Professor for Social Entrepreneurship Filipe Santos and Vice-President of Ashoka Global, Diana Wells. The event was also the official launch of the Family Business Network (FBN)/Ashoka partnership, which promotes the interweaving of social entrepreneurship strategies and long-term family perspectives at the core of family businesses to serve their communities while representing sustainable business models.
