1. Corporate Citizenship
My first article on corporate citizenship as published in the Harvard Business Review in 2002. I am particularly proud of this piece because I believe that it created the first actionable model that a good-hearted CEO could utilize to design a citizenship strategy. Harvard Business Review The Innovation Catalysts (June 2011 ) The Virtue Matrix: Calculating the Return on Corporate Responsibility (March, 2002) Rotman Magazine and can be downloadable for free:The Virtue Matrix (Spring 2003)Since the publication of The Virtue Matrix, my colleagues at the AIC Institute for Corporate Citizenship have been working to create ever more comprehensive and detailed methodologies for creating corporate citizenship strategies. Following are a series of articles on that topic: Canadian Business What’s a CEO to Do?

2 . Social Entrepreneurship
Seeing that a burgeoning field that was losing a useful definition of itself, I sought to work with my directorial colleague at the Skoll Foundation, Sally Osberg, on a definition of social entrepreneurship. The article was published in the Stanford Social Innovation Review and is widely cited as creating the first precise definition of the field:Stanford Social Innovation Review Social Entrepreneurship: The Case for Definition (Spring 2007)
