We are now just about a month away from the biggest student event of the year at IESE: the Doing Good Doing Well Conference<\/a>. This annual conference was created by students over a decade ago, and has since become the largest student run conference in Europe and a hallmark event of student life at IESE.<\/p>\n

The conference is designed to be a platform to bring in senior thought leaders and professionals from leading companies to discuss the intersection between their businesses and society \u2013 an intersection that continues to narrow as more consumers and employees gain consciousness of the impact of business, and businesses recognize the opportunities for shared value.<\/p>\n

Each year, the conference is entirely organized by IESE students. It\u2019s a unique opportunity for those of us on campus to not only engage with outside professionals from leading companies, but also to collaborate more closely with professors, alumni, the MBA office, IESE\u2019s other professional departments and programs, and each other. The leadership opportunities it provides, the professional connections we are able to make, the relationships we build on campus, and the opportunity to positively represent our school in the MBA community make it truly fun and gratifying to be part of the DGDW team.<\/p>\n

\"DGDW\"<\/a>
\nWhat is responsible business?<\/h3>\n

This year\u2019s conference theme is \u201cwhat is responsible business?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0In choosing it, our team wanted to invite for-profit firms to talk about how they view their roles in society \u2013 who their stakeholders are, how their roles might be changing, and what they\u2019re doing to reinforce their visions.\u00a0 We will have some organizations who will contend that\u00a0what<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0they do makes them responsible \u2013 e.g., it\u2019s inherent in their products\/services\/missions.\u00a0 We\u2019ll have others who will assert that what makes them responsible is\u00a0how<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0they\u2019ve been able to enhance their processes to \u201cdo good\u201d or do less harm \u2013 e.g., sustainability, human capital practices, etc.\u00a0 And still other speakers and organizations will present the view that their businesses are responsible because of\u00a0who<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0they market to or whose needs they fulfill \u2013 the Bottom of the Pyramid.<\/p>\n

We are thrilled to announce our list of guest speakers this year. We have individuals coming from companies such as Patagonia, IBM, BMW, Henkel, Syngenta, Exxon Mobile, La Caixa, Agbar, Armani, and numerous others.<\/p>\n
