- Dr Pamela Hartigan, Director, Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship
“Entrepreneurs who start out with a vision of what they think their organisation would be, have actually had to morph that many different times in response to the many triggers or signals that they are getting from multiple stakeholders. They really are almost people who are putting down the tracks as the train is coming. And that ability to be flexible and to have your ear to the different stakeholders and at the same time remain very entrenched in your vision is very key.”
This interview was conducted by Shivraj Parshad for the Khemka Foundation as part of a series leading up to their annual social entrepreneurship forum on Nov 17 and 18, 2011.
Pamela Hartigan of the Skoll Centre is also the founding Managing Director of the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, and has led the sector to greater visibility across stakeholders. A full transcript of the interview appears on the website of the Khemka Forum, an annual event designed to catalyze the social entrepreneurship ecosystem, and to create triggers for collaboration and innovation in the space.
