Book description

It is more than time to develop critical thinking skills to guide you through the complexity of societal impact, across environmental and social issues, to invest wealth, manage multinational companies, steer development projects or just to guide your personal choices.
 
This book proposes practical checklists, thinking models, and other resources to address the three pillars of impact thinking: impact assessment, management and strategy. It builds on 15 years of experience of the author in the field, working with the biggest organizations in the world, both in the private and investment sectors.
 
More than 20 real-world case studies are presented to illustrate the learnings and make it as tangible as possible: from Nespresso coffee pods, to the integration of refugees and persons with Asperger in the northern Europe, to the conflict in Ukraine, to an hydroelectric dam in Mexico, community-based marine conservation in South Asia or even micro-credits in sub-Saharan Africa
 
Whether you are new to the field or are an experienced professional, you will enjoy the innovative, provocative, insightful and impactful content of this book!
