An organization is born. Social entrepreneur and former Accenture consultant, Dale Fickett, founded an organization, based on the model he developed, to identify and support those ventures in Sub-Saharan Africa with high potential for financial and social returns. Dale's organization implements insight through a range of advisory and support services for organizations which catalyze social change and collaborates within the private, public and civil sectors to facilitate those investments which have positive social consequences. The new organization's name needed to reflect a brand promise to deliver both financial returns and positive social consequences.
I brainstormed with Dale, who resides in Dublin, Ireland, via phone, text, Facebook and email. Of the many names we came up with, we liked "Soquent" the best. It is a combination of, "social" and, "consequent."
