Many of us want to design a better world for everyone. But, designing for good within business is limited to ‘pro-bono’ or ‘corporate social responsibility’ initiatives. This sidelines social impact as an option, rather than a necessity for modern business to thrive. So, how do we change this? How do we serve the underserved while serving our businesses?
