This panel will consist of an exchange of ideas between panelists and the audience about questions such as:
- What is a "strategic" human capital for social impact?
- Can organizations benefit from focusing on the "human" element of strategic human capital? If so, when, and how?
- How can organizations leverage advantages from strategic human capital while creating a positive social impact (to workers)?
- What knowledge and skills are critical for organizations/entrepreneurs to address grand challenges?
- What can pro-social/hybrid/public-sector organizations learn from existing strategic human capital theory?

- How can researchers engage with organizations to foster this agenda?
