Session
Community Lab Impact - Taking Your Family’s Impact to the Next Level
Community Lab
We are all constantly leveraging multiple types of capital to achieve our goals and make things happen. Whether we are using a relationship to get connected to a new opportunity or investing in a new line of business to expand our operations, the many forms of capital play a central role in how we interact with each other and shape the world around us.
In this session, we will help you better define and understand the different types of capital you have access to and explore how combining different forms of capital can often have an exponential effect. We will also explore why families are uniquely positioned to deploy their capital to achieve impact via the four drivers of change (business transformation, impact investing, philanthropy, and advocacy), provide resources your family can use to amplify your impact, and share examples from leading families that have collaborated to achieve impact at a scale and drive systemic change.
