Precise Assisting Social "Salons"

Precise has been assisting, on a pro bono basis, the social entrepreneurship "salons" at UNSW’s Centre of Social Impact, led by Assoc Professor Cheryl Kernot. The assistance takes the form of advising on marketing and growth in strategy and keynote presentations.

Cheryl recently returned from the UK to take up a position with the Center for Social Impact. Her work in the UK put her at the cutting edge of Social Innovation at the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at Oxford University. At the CSI Cheryl has pioneered the Social Entrepreneurs Salon to provide a place for like-minded social entrepreneurs to meet and learn and find support.

"The world is talking about social value-creation, not just financial value-creation", says Cheryl and the GFC highlights the need for a more creative capitalism that emphasises social benefit. Cheryl explains how Australia could nurture social entrepreneurs in her acclaimed essay "A Quiet Revolution", Griffith REVIEW 24: Participation Society.

Precise also participates in the Salon with the aim of bridging Social and Commercial interests.
