LEARNERS’ EXPERIENCE

Hear what learners have to say…

Through this programme, I’ve known many amazing people. And what I’ve learned is that there’s no cookie cutting in impact investments. We have to be adaptive, and yet staying focused on our goals. I’m so glad to be a part of a community of entrepreneurs who are solving challenges in their respective fields. And I look forward to joining my classmates in designing impactful solutions for a sustainable triple bottom line.

I have decided to deep dive further after researching about impact investment last year. I’ve seen as a whole how Indonesia at large will eventually move towards the future of impact investments. Additionally I wanted to be a social entrepreneur that drives different types of business models to our already existing business. Looking at our current model we have and driving different services/products to serve our new normal market efficiently. Tapping available investments, resources and opportunities.

I have learnt that there are many facets to investing to create impact, as there are many prerequisites to achieve them: leadership skills, organizational culture, clarity on issues, and changes that we’re trying to affect are some that come to mind that are essential. But most of all, it’s about the need to understand the subject at hand from all angles, to collaborate and build partnership in working towards a solution.
