Top tweets from the BoP Roadmap Launch
Last month the William Davidson Institute’s Ted London and Colm Fay introduced “A Roadmap for the Base of the Pyramid Domain: Re-energizing for the Next Decade.” The docment, available for download here, is a co-created action agenda that represents a shared vision for the expansion and reframing of the base of the pyramid domain.
The report is the product of the BoP Summit 2013: Creating an Action Agenda for the Next Decade, hosted by WDI in October 2013. The event brought together over 200 leaders from more than 20 countries to reflect on what has been learned in the BoP domain in the decade since the concept was popularized by C.K. Prahalad and Stuart Hart, among others.
Below are a few key Tweets from attendees and others from the launch. You can read more about the initative here and here.
In addition, an event summary from the Society for International Development in Washington, D.C., where the report was unveiled, may be found here.
