Partnered with DIFC FINTECH HIVE, May edition of MAJLIS series, had Prof. Mitchell B. Weiss, Professor of Management Practice, Richard L. Menschel Faculty Fellow, speak about his new book “WE THE POSSIBILITY Harnessing Public Entrepreneurship to Solve Our Most Urgent Problems.

Is government too big, too slow, and too mired in bureaucracy to tackle climate change, crumbling infrastructure, public education inequities, and other tough social problems?

It doesn’t have to be, says Professor Mitchell Weiss. But government officials should focus less on what seems like “safe” solutions, shift to entrepreneurial mindsets, and experiment with new ideas, according to his new book "We the Possibility: Harnessing Public Entrepreneurship to Solve Our Most Urgent Problems."

During this virtual event he reflects on the potential for Possibility Government even in an era of diminished trust and increasing partisanship, and as he provides inspiration for the crucial role government can play to help shape progress for generations to come.

The virtual educational and networking event was developed for entrepreneurs and investors and is open to anyone interested in entrepreneurship, whether it’s building companies, mentoring them, or investing.

Conference sessions feature recognized HBS faculty, leading venture capitalists, veteran entrepreneurs and other business luminaries.

In his new book, We The Possibility Harvard Business School professor Mitchell Weiss describes a renewed entrepreneurial spirit that can transform the public sector's response to big problems at all levels. Although many new (and especially technology-based) efforts frequently fail, the ones that succeed have the potential to transform our lives and our societies.

The event will be moderated by the Chair of HBS Alumni Club of London, Julie Mulcahy.
