CREATE A VENTURE THAT HARNESSES THE EXPERIENCE AND REACH OF RETIRED, BUT STILL ACTIVE SENIORS

HARVARD ADVANCED LEADERSHIP PROGRAM FOR SENIORS

Harvard is launching and directing the Advanced Leadership Initiative, a year-long pilot "third stage" educational program aimed at transforming experienced leaders into social entrepreneurs and philanthropists.
Harvard's pilot program is the latest step in the flowering of the new "third stage" of university education. It's a growing phenomenon that has been emerging for several years, as the roughly 75 million baby boomers have begun to hit their late fifties and early sixties. The venture takes into account the convergence of a new set of global challenges and the growing population of older energetic leaders who have met goals through a lifetime of work and now have a yearning to serve.

The goal of the Advanced Leadership Fellowship is to prepare experienced leaders to transition from their primary income-earning years to community and public service for their next years of life. The Fellowship is designed to enhance and leverage the skills of already-accomplished leaders for maximum impact on significant social problems, including those that affect health and welfare, children and the environment.

DEVELOP A FOCUSED OUTPLACEMENT SERVICE

As demand rises in the $4 billion-a-year outplacement business, providers increasingly offer standardized services, which some workers say offer little value. Businesses anxious to shed former employees quickly and cheaply impose time limits that hamper effectiveness. Few employers track whether outplacement works. There is an opportunity to better serve laid
off workers.

AMAZING GOLMAN SACHS BACKED INITIATIVE DESIGNED TO HELP ADVANCE WOMEN IN BUSINESS

In March 2008, Goldman Sachs announced a significant new initiative that has two goals: increasing the number of underserved women receiving a business and management education and improving the quality and capacity of business and management education around the world. Expanding the entrepreneurial talent and managerial pool in developing and emerging economies – especially among women – is one of the most important means to reducing inequality and ensuring more shared economic growth.

The initiative has six components:

10,000 Women Over Five Years Will Receive a Business and Management Education: Goldman Sachs is supporting partnerships with universities and development organizations that will lead to 10,000 Women receiving a business and management education over five years.

Build Quality and Capacity Through Global Business Sister School Partnerships: To strengthen the quality and capacity of business schools in developing nations, Goldman Sachs is supporting partnerships between business schools and universities in the United States and Europe and business schools in developing and emerging economies.

Establish Mentoring and Post-Graduation Support for Women Entrepreneurs: In addition to funding tuition for business and management education, 10,000 Women is establishing mentoring and networking channels for women.

Work with Leading Research and Women’s Development Organizations: 10,000 Women is working with these organizations to better understand the local challenges these girls and women must overcome so more of them can ultimately realize their potential through access to greater economic opportunity.

Develop Partnerships in the United States to Help Disadvantaged Women: As part of 10,000 Women, Goldman Sachs is establishing parallel programs and partnerships to provide disadvantaged women throughout the United States greater access to business and management education.

Commit the Time and Dedication of Goldman Sachs People: In addition to the firm’s financial commitment, Goldman Sachs is also contributing its most valuable asset – its people – to the success of 10,000 Women.
