Now, value comes from contributing to and adapting to change.

In an everything-changing (and thereby causing all around to change) world, one must be a changemaker to play.

~Ashoka Founder and CEO, Bill Drayton

Much of the world is stuck in a management model that is based on teaching people specialized skills that they repeat over and over as part of rigid hierarchies.

But today, new technologies and new kinds of individual empowerment have made this old model obsolete. We are moving into a future that requires every team member to be a leader and an initiator, and where the mindset of Everyone-a-Changemaker is the main criterion for organizational success.

Ashoka is partnering with business advisers, business schools, and social entrepreneurs to advance business models that create opportunities, solve problems, and scale-up social impact by engaging individuals to their full potential.
