Hi All, INSEAD is excited to announce that two new social entrepreneurship bootcamps are scheduled for this fall. The dates are October 4-6, 2013 in Fontainebleau and November 29-31, 2013 in Singapore. The bootcamps are open to current students, partners, alumni and external participants.
The Rudolf and Valeria Maag INSEAD Centre for Entrepreneurship (ICE) has developed a wonderful series of limited enrollment 48 hour intensive hands-on workshops designed to build entrepreneurial muscle. The bootcamps are offered over the weekend (beginning on Friday evening and ending on Sunday evening) to INSEAD MBAs and alumni, MBA partners and external participants.
The Social Entrepreneurship Bootcamps are part of the award winning Social Impact Catalyst programme (Finalist for the AMBA's MBA Innovation Award 2011) have been receiving great reviews (the last bootcamp offered in Singapore received an overall evaluation of 4.75/5). The format is as follows: During the bootcamp, individuals form teams around social venture ideas and/or societal problems they are looking to solve. After teams are finalized on the Friday evening, the participants are walked through frameworks and methodologies to develop their venture throughout the course of the weekend. Some of these frameworks include: defining your value proposition, mapping your activity system, analyzing stakeholders and partnership opportunities, piloting your venture, growing your venture through scaling/replication, assessing your impact, and finding the best means of financing. The bootcamp finishes with pitch presentations in front of external judges - either impact investors, social entrepreneurs themselves, or other experts in the social impact ecosystem.
It is an intensive and thrilling process to experience. Participants have been amazed at how much they can achieve in just one weekend.

*Quotes from past Social Entrepreneurship Bootcampers*
“Best experience I had at INSEAD so far (learning wise). Thank you so much. While before I only thought that this could be an option for the future, I am really inspired to do something asap.
"Very inspiring, motivating and well-structured. The bootcamp has now taught me how to start up my own social enterprise and I am thankful for that!”
"I went into the weekend completely blank, but got so enthusiastic about most of the ideas that I lost track of time every time we were working on our project. How cool is that! :) I liked all the examples of actual initiatives that were given to clarify a task or to just show us what is out there...
"The atmosphere in the group is set to be very stimulating and open so that everyone feels comfortable to share their more personal thoughts and ideas - this is great! - A perfect balance between entrepreneurship & social impact in one weekend."
Summary: Learn how to create a meaningful social impact venture. Identify the problem, define your theory of change, construct your business model, and measure your impact. During the bootcamp you will go through an intense and tailored 48-hour methodology for designing a novel solution that addresses a neglected societal problem. We will start on Friday at 8:00pm and by Sunday 5:00pm you will be presenting your social innovation to a judging panel of social impact experts and investors. It promises to be a challenging and exciting weekend.
All your meals during this period are taken care of – from dinner on Friday at 8:00pm to an afternoon coffee break on Sunday. We start with breakfast at 8:30am on both Saturday and Sunday. We will finish most likely by 9:30pm on Saturday (though you are welcome to stay and continue working) and finish the bootcamp by 7.30pm on Sunday.
You can have a team formed already or come individually. You can bring a problem that you want to address or come with a clear mind and be open to focus on problems proposed by other participants. We will use the Friday evening to do a brainstorm of societal problems and form teams of two to four participants who will work together for the rest of the bootcamp in coming up with an effective solution. Please note that societal problems also include inefficiencies that lend themselves to new financial innovations for social impact as well as new government or social sector initiatives. A goal of the bootcamp is to form bonds and connections that last during INSEAD and beyond, aligned by a goal of achieving social impact in a meaningful career.
We hope that you will have a great experience of learning and inspiration during the weekend and that you will develop a high potential project that you can move forward during your INSEAD degree and turn it into a valuable social innovation.

Great Initiative!
Social Entrepreneurship is indeed the way forward!
For a thorough presentation of Social Entrepreneurship and the impact it will have on the future of humanity,
I strongly recommend a recent book, Social Entrepreneurship, The Secret to Starting a Business Worth Living For.
A good review of the book can be found Here.
