A new perspective is changing how we think about society, politics, interpersonal relationships, science, government and business. New approaches are emerging. Learning and self-expression are exploding. Values are changing. Leadership is changing. The economy is changing. Change itself is changing — it is accelerating and becoming the norm.” Social Business doesn’t mean what you think it does Deb Lavoy, 7 September 2011C4LPT, 2011
