Be the Change You Want to See in Your Company: Gib Bulloch at TEDxPlainpalais

Gib Bulloch steals a famous quote from Ghandi to prove that it is not only for NGOs to be addressing the world's big issues. His call to action is that the private sector with its extensive reach can and should be a key players and enabler. He shares his personal story of how he became the Founder and Executive Director of Accenture Development Partnerships (ADP), a ring-fenced not-for-profit consulting group within Accenture, whose clients include many of the major international NGOs and development agencies.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

"Be the change that you wish to see." That's exactly what I tell those kids in third world poverty as well. It makes me feel better everytime

Truly brilliant! Powerful words and a powerful concept. I discovered the term "intrapreneur" relatively recently - and almost by accident - I hope that someday everyone has the chance to experience this kind of inspiration. I particularly liked the part about the largest economies in the world being companies, not countries - this is a truth. Why not find a mutually-beneficial opportunity where the company can unlock "untapped resources" and the public can benefit from the leveraged power of the company? it is win-win.
