I chanced upon at the ANC channel the interview by Cocoy Alcuaz of Fr. Xavier Alpasa, SJ, Chairman of Rags to Riches (a social enterprise) and a professor at Ateneo on Leadership and Ethics. His talk revolved around Pope Francis Jorge book, "The Joy of Gospel"
He talked mostly on social enterprise:
1. Many of the projects of the Church are funded by business;
2. Business must engage on social issues on a deeper level;
3. When we baby the poor, they become dependents
4. CSR must progress scale up to social business
5. Tourism is a gold mine for PHL economy but must made sustainable
6. The trickle down effect of the laissez faire economy is not happening; there must be more social entrepreneurship
7. The triple bottom line: profit, people, planet ensures sustainability
8. Growth, having more to serve others is good and noble, but mainly for the self.... it is not.
9. Cash is a way to score if the social enterprise is making good or not
10. Three things that a social enterprise must have: strategy, service and spirituality
11. Social enterprise is not a romantic adventure ; it needs sharp business acumen
