Bonnie Robinson is exploring the intersection of social justice and management. She is drawing on a career in social services and putting it into practice in her role as Chief Executive of HBH Senior Living, focussing on meeting the needs of vulnerable older people.
Talking points:
Change comes about from change at systemic level
You can make a difference to individuals’ lives, and we should, but it shouldn’t be all you do
We need a funding system which allows for much greater flexibility and innovation.
We are actually here to help people have fullness of life and allow them to continue to grow, not just provide medical or disability care.
It’s about acting to achieve positive change.
It is not morally tenable to make a profit out of distress.
I’m no longer marching in the streets waving placards, but I’m trying to shift people’s thinking about an issue.
Social justice and sustainability are interwoven – a lack of justice is not sustainable
Challenge things that need to be challenged
