Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire
Can business save the world? Can you? Rebecca’s research and teaching explores what it’s going to take to build a just and sustainable capitalism.
It is possible to create a better, more sustainable future. But only if we act with urgency – and in concert with one another.

A leading authority in organizational and strategic change for more than thirty years, today her research, teaching and speaking centers on purpose-driven capitalism and the role that business leaders at every level can play in reimagining our current system.
