Harnessing the Power of Networks for Social Impact : Part I
Networks exist in many forms and serve a vast array of different purposes. There’s the beautiful synergies in nature that allow humans and trees to breathe each other’s waste, and there’s the way that organisations function through a distributed network of interacting social animals. In all these examples, shared purpose and communication (of one type or another) are key.
We are delighted to share the Yunus Social Business 2018 Impact Report.
