Mobilizing stakeholders is about much more than fundraising. For social innovators and individuals leading change, the ability to identify what you already have, understand what others value, and connect the two is a core leadership skill. Join Brittany Butler, founding Executive Director of the Social Innovation and Change Initiative (SICI) and Adjunct Lecturer in Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, for an interactive workshop on stakeholder mapping, uncovering the assets at your disposal, and translating them into meaningful support for your work.

Drawing on her experience designing and leading accelerators for emerging innovators across Harvard, Brittany will guide participants through practical exercises and frameworks that illuminate how to build stronger relationships, unlock overlooked resources, and align what you offer with what stakeholders care about.

This session is designed to stretch your thinking about resource mobilization as a creative, values-driven process—not simply a financial one. All are welcome, and students actively advancing a social innovation effort and seeking to deepen their capacity to mobilize support are especially encouraged to attend.
