About the Think Bigger Initiative
This past initiative was led by S.T. Lee Professor of Business Sheena Iyengar, in collaboration with Shiva Rajgopal. It ran the Think Bigger Summit, an annual (or bi-annual) forum. Innovators across various industries engaged with global business executives, corporate board members, private equity leadership, and selected academics to showcase their innovations, discuss their setbacks and challenges, and highlight their routes to success. Each forum showcased the different problems that business leaders encountered, which provided the challenge for societal innovation.
