Shared Value Masterclass | Partnering for Systems Change

Led by Ramana James, this third session will explore the important role of partnerships in informing shared value strategy and design, and how shared value is critical to enable systems change. You will hear about IAG’s Sustainability & Safer Communities model, and how shared value has helped to guide their approach to partnerships as a powerful way to bring the root cause of the issue into focus and influence systems level change. Joining in conversation with Ramana will be one of IAG's key partners, the Australian Red Cross's Head of Emergency Services, Andrew Coghlan.
