I find the "jeez" comment by the guy behind you a great observation. This conference brought together disparate groups all operating on the edges of what is normal in their organizations - investors looking for social investments, NGOs willing to explore profit driven schemes to achieve social benefit, consulting agencies that see the business opportunity in what is often overlooked as just an opportunity for philanthropy. While all those phenotypes intersect somewhere at the sweet spot that this conference was attempting to appeal to, I still believe it will take some time before all parties are comfortable with the motivations of their future partners. Jeez...let's hope it doesn't take too long. Great post Mark. I find the “jeez” comment by the guy behind you a great observation.
