IBM launched Corporate Service Corps (CSC) in 2008 to help communities
around the world solve critical problems while providing IBM employees
unique leadership development opportunities.
CSC participants from around the globe spend four weeks in groups of 10 to 15 to help
solve economic and social problems of their selected community. Teams
work collaboratively with their government and community counterparts to
understand how to implement socially responsible business practices
with measurable results in a global context.
I am part of "Moroccco 8" - a group of 15 IBMers who originate from Germany, Singapore, India, USA, Egypt, Norway, Canada, Mexico and of course Australia ! We meet on Friday 4th March in Casablanca and that weekend start work on our projects ! It is hard to believe that it is now less than a week until we meet ! We've all been working together since November, with weekly meetings to prepare for CSC Morocco 8.
The program has helped over 140,000 people in emerging economies since
its inception.
