In corporate societal engagement, strategic clarity and focused results are not accidental – they are achieved through inquiry, intentionality, and investment. We often find executives aspiring for change but lacking the necessary tools and approaches to spearhead that shift. The destination is clear – transforming their portfolio from oftentimes disparate legacy giving to a results-focused, business-aligned societal engagement – but the path to get there less so. Over the years, our presenter has found three tools and approaches to be critical guides for corporate executives: intent matrix, issue monitor, and impact models.

“Engage in an interactive, learning discussion with your peers, and discuss a presentation by FSG Managing Director Philippe Sion and Director Chile Hidalgo on their recent publication, “Simplifying Strategy: A Practical Toolkit for Corporate Societal Engagement”.

Join Us To:

  • Learn about best practices in transforming a CSR portfolio from legacy giving to a results-focused, business-aligned societal engagement
  • Hear how to apply three practical strategy tools to your work
  • Interact with and explore these ideas with your colleagues and peers
