Ismaili Alliances: Our Competitive Advantage
Session was held at the Diamond Jubilee Alliances Conference held September 2018.
Program Overview
What does it take to sustain the collaboration and integration of our Alliances? How can each of us foster a larger cross-industry community, rather than operating within silos that are familiar to us? In this roundtable session, representatives from every Alliance group worked together to create a plan detailing how each member can most effectively leverage our powerful network for professional development, play a role in each other’s career advancement, and build bridges never before traversed. The mission of this conference was in part to build upon what others have already mastered, and open our minds to fresh perspectives, which often don’t exist when we’re stratified amongst like-minded professionals.

Education in the 21st Century
Session was held at the Diamond Jubilee Alliances Conference held September 2018.
Program Overview
As the field whose objective is to prepare generations for change, education is itself facing rapid change from all directions. Neuroscience research is surfacing better understanding of child development and informing new pedagogical methods. Technology is emerging as both a dynamic delivery vehicle (e.g. MOOCs) and a core foundational subject (e.g. computer science foundations for primary students). However, we continue to grapple with issues that persist and may even be more pronounced, such as global education divides, lack of school funding, rapidly-rising cost of higher education, and teacher retention and development. This engaging session explores the changing landscape in education and how other fields play an inextricable role in the education-related professions.

How Business Can and Should Be Used as a Force For Good
Session was held at the Diamond Jubilee Alliances Conference held September 2018.
Program Overview
Companies are no longer content to do well – they also make it their mission to do good. The Nielsen Global Survey of Corporate Social Responsibility found that more than half of people surveyed are willing to pay more for products and services provided by companies that are committed to positive social and environmental impact, and two-thirds would rather work for such a company. Learn how companies like TOMS shoes and Warby Parker incorporated a 1-for-1 social promise into the very heart of their business model. Service doesn’t need to be on an ad-hoc basis, or a hands-on service day at work. Discover how service can be deeply integrated with your business model and how it can take your business to new heights.
