In morning, our group finally agreed to proceed with the SCM simulation exercise, after a lot of brainstorming for almost 10 hours in past few days. We started at 10 AM and continued to work on the simulation until 3 PM for four years of SCM planning and execution. Got a decent result at the end.
And then, it was time for the 8th IE Social Responsilbility Forum. It started at 3:30 PM at Ciaxa Forum exhibition hall in Central Madrid.
Keynote speaker opening the ceremony was the CSR chief at Loreal, who told us about Loreal's Vision 2020 and then there was an excellent panel discussion about ' Social means Business'.
After a short break, event resumed with individual panel discussion kicking off. I had opted for the Education panel and the discussion was really good. We had Prof Gomez who talked about his experiences of how education can enable sustainable businesses helping society, we had founder of 8 belts - the Entrepreneur of the year in Spain for this year, we had two people from an organization teaching underprivileged students, and we had a lady from an NGO in Sweden that teaches Math to anyone who needs to learn for "free".
All in all, a great panel and I got to hear many new innovative ideas that these people are practising or have already implemented.
Day concluded with a cocktail at the Hub Madrid - yepp, the same place where my team won the IE impact weekend at beginning of my MBA :)
And now, even while I am writing this post, I am thinking if I can go out tonight and have some fun :)
