The Olympics Legacy and Social Enterprise

There has been a lot of rhetoric around London 2012 being the ‘most sustainable’ Olympic Games in history, but the growing debate around the Legacy can be quelled by providing tangible evidence of initiatives which will change the face of London and the UK. This session will provide a platform for leaders in their fields, who are passionate about a sustainable legacy emerging from the Games, to articulate their vision of how social enterprise will play a vital role in the success of this process.

Chair: Sheena Pentin. Head of Corporate Relationship, ClearlySo

Jane Pritchard, Legacy Director, Business In The Community (BITC);
Dave Miller, MD, Bikeworks;
Liz McMahon, Board Member, LLDC.

The One Tonne Question

How do you get the most SROI (and ROI) from one tonne of waste?  Hear from three social enterprise leaders who are changing the way we think of the word ‘waste’.  The session will highlight the new business models focused on capturing more social, green and economic ‘value’ from the waste sector, including best practice case studies from both the EU & US markets. 

Introduction: Oliver Waddington-Ball, Founder, One Tonne

Chair: Peter Jones, former Strategy Director, Biffa Waste Services

Panel: Charles Craft, Managing Director, London Reuse Limited; Chris Baker, Managing Director Europe, TerraCycle; Steve Jackson, Founder & CEO, Recycling Lives

True Leadership

What it means for you as a leader and what it means for your specific social enterprise.  If anyone attempts to tell you what sort of leader you are you should be run away as fast as possible. Gurus who tell people how to lead make followers, not leaders. This session, by our top rated speaker, John Sutherland will draw out the leadership you need and the leader you are.
