The Inclusive Business Challenge is an easy-to-use presentation and simulation tool to help companies and stakeholders identify and implement models that profitably engage low-income populations across companies' value chains and develop affordable products and services that meet the needs of low-income populations.
The tool aims to help companies raise awareness of the role of business in development and to introduce the challenges, drivers and principles of inclusive business. It presents good practice examples, and suggests ways to integrate inclusive business into company strategy. A key feature of the tool is in the simulation activity which is designed to be used in an interactive workshop setting to identify risks and opportunities in building inclusive business.
The tool comes in the form of a PowerPoint pack (see instructions below) and is therefore adaptable and customizable for awareness raising and capacity building activities of companies and organizations active in this field. It includes a facilitation guide with information on how to use the tool and links to additional resources. All documents are available in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese.
