Recent Partnership with IKEA in Leadership Development

We’re excited to announce our feature in IKEA’s new Social Entrepreneurship Annual Report, highlighting our collaboration in leadership development for the Mexico Accelerator Programme supporting the scale of enterprises focused on creating positive social and environmental impact. The Social Enterprise Academy was delighted to be able to deliver a transformative leadership module, focusing on self, others, and organisational leadership:

“We are changing our mindset as leaders. We no longer deal so much with hierarchy but with an organisational structure at the level of problems, collaboration, understanding, attitude, and participation. We have noticed our team is more empowered and autonomous.” – Participant, Postales De Cafe.

Our partnership with IKEA aims to empower social entrepreneurs with the tools they need to lead their enterprises with purpose, resilience, and strategic vision.

Åsa Skogström Feldt, Managing Director of IKEA Social Entrepreneurship B.V. said of the partnership:  “By tapping into the Academy’s expertise, and with New Ventures’ support, we are confident we can cultivate a community of socially conscious leaders. Together with their teams, they drive change not just within their enterprises, but across the broader social entrepreneurship landscape, a task that requires inclusive and sustainable leadership.”

A huge thank you to IKEA, New Ventures, facilitators, learners and everyone else involved for this opportunity. Together, let’s continue championing the power of social enterprise and innovation through collaboration!
