Kellogg School of Management & Indego Africa

Indego Africa is always honored to contribute to the vibrant conversations about social enterprise currently raging at academic institutions around the world. This past semester, for instance, we had the pleasure of participating in a project at the Kellogg School of Management.

As part of the class "Leading Mission Driven Enterprises," four incredibly talented Kellogg students - Kate Floyd, Erica Labovitz, Keli Leaf, and Shannen Root Chin - dug deep into the inner workings of Indego Africa. The assignment: conduct an analysis of a nonprofit to identify its current stage, and then provide recommendations on how it might advance along the stages and/or sustain the current stage. To accomplish this goal, the team conducted in-depth interviews with me, Matt, and Josh Lebowitz (Chair of the Chicago Board), and then poured over our policies, procedures, strategic plans, financials, marketing documents, and more. The result: a professional and insightful paper about Indego Africa that will help us pivot into the new year with even more focus and vigor. Thank you, Kellogg team!
