SiG@MaRS
March 31, 2010
MaRS is a non-profit innovation centre connecting science, technology and social entrepreneurs with business skills, networks and capital to stimulate innovation and accelerate the creation and growth of successful Canadian enterprises. SiG@MaRS is a collaborative partnership between The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation, the University of Waterloo, the MaRS Discovery District, and the PLAN Institute. The SiG@MaRS team played a round of Prelude facilitated by Chris Lowry, founder of Green Enterprise Toronto, and Kim Bagayawa, founder of The Firehouse, a consultancy for emerging arts professionals.
Our staff found Prelude fun, engaging and stimulating. More than that, it revealed assets in some of our team that had previously remained hidden and it brought other HR issues out into the open and challenged us to deal with them. We are currently determining how we can add Prelude to the SiG tool kit of resources available to our 500+ clients who are running social ventures. — Allyson Hewitt, MaRS Director of Social Entrepreneurship; SIG@MaRS Director
