Starting Out

Welcome to my "CSR Thoughts" blog, which I should have started years ago!

It may be a bit scatter-brained at first, but there are just so many things I can't wait to say about CSR (Corporate Social Responsiblity) - what draws me to the field, why it's important, what's wrong with the field today, some new directions I'm hoping for, and more. Over time, my goal is to make these scattered thoughts into something more coherent - a book perhaps, or at least a personal philosophy. I hope members of the blogosphere will help by writing to ask questions or to challenge my ideas.

I've heard that, among the many "styles of learning", there are some people who learn best by listening, by reading, by talking or by writing. This blog is not an attempt to broadcast answers that I believe I've already found; instead it's my way of learning by writing. Maybe you'll learn something by reading it, and maybe you'll teach me something. It's a new field, with more action than expertise, so the faster we learn the better!
