360 Impact: How Next Gen Private Wealth Owners Drive Change with All They’ve Got
Falko Paetzold, MIT Sloan School of Management
Wealth owner millennials grew up in a radically different world: the reality of climate change, wealth inequality, international travel, interconnectivity, omnipresent data availability, and failing institutions. As millenials, their families and the concept of impact meet, for the first time in history a movement forms wherein inherently especially powerful members of society join forces to strategically deploy their assets for good. Far beyond "just" philanthropy and CSR, they carefully navigate the full spectrum from social entrepreneurship to catalytic philanthropy, impact investing and activism. Together with millenial wealth owners we will workshop this “360 impact spectrum” and outline where this leads us as mangers, investors and society.
100%, activism, catalytic philanthropy, Impact Investing, Millenials, Private wealth
