Dela's impact
By working closely with social entrepreneurs, IKEA co-workers gain insights into markets, business models, and local contexts that would otherwise be difficult to reach. Co-workers are able to see new realities and bring new approaches into their everyday lives and their organization, being inspired by the social entrepreneurs' leadership and mission.
Changing Systems
Stacey Epperson, who participated in the second edition of the Dela programme, is addressing the underlying obstacles that prevent access to affordable housing in the US.
During her Dela journey, Stacey and her team at Next Step Network partnered up with thought partners from Ashoka, IKEA and other organizations to design and test a strong systems change strategy.
