Corporate Grassroots

I’m always interested in how corporations can improve their positive contributions to society. Today, I attended this General Assembly panel discussion on “Corporate Grassroots: Starting a movement from within.” Interesting speakers from HubSpot, LogMeIn, and a diversity and inclusion consulting firm. Rather than sticking to the theme of how corporate grassroots movements — those moments when excited employees develop ideas and make them organizational realities — the conversation quickly shifted into one of diversity and inclusion. While that’s an interesting discussion in and of itself, I wish they had really kept on topic.
