On November 13th 2020, we kicked off our first Firm-wide Day of Service, an initiative to summon McKinsey colleagues around the world to contribute to social impact together. Within the Taipei office, over 80 colleagues joined in to participate, connect, and give back to society across four key themes: Reflect, Immerse, Build and Scale.
During “Reflect”, colleagues gathered through an in-house ideation program to jointly design Taipei Office’s social impact roadmap for the coming year. Together with the Chinese Childrenhome & Shelter Association, we hosted “Immerse”, a problem solving session together with the organization’s senior managers and social workers. We had delightful discussions during our “Build” business bootcamp with the Foundation of Women’s Rights and Development, for their Power of Women accelerator program to provide coaching on business concepts for Taiwan’s new residents who are also female entrepreneurs. In “Scale”, we also had the honor to engage with 40+ founders, executives and top managers from Teach for Taiwan, Junyi Academy, KIPP Inspired Schools in Taiwan, and One-Forty in a collision workshop, to jointly discuss the most pressing challenges in education and brainstorm potential solutions to collectively amplify social impact.
We are thankful for the opportunity to collaborate with these inspiring nonprofits in Taiwan during our Day of Service, and we look forward to engaging in more social impact-related initiatives in the future.
2020年11月13日，麥肯錫世界各地舉行了第一次“服務日” (Day of Service)，來自全球的同事在這一天放下手邊工作，共同參與公益服務。台北辦公室一共有超過80位同事參加，針對“反思、投入、建構、成長” 四大主題，一起為社會影響力貢獻心力。
我們在辦公室內進行了以“反思”為主題的發想計畫，共同擬定了麥肯錫台北辦公室未來一年的社會影響力發展藍圖。我們也與中華育幼機構兒童關懷協會共同舉辦“投入” 研討會，為組織內部的主管與社工們透過問題解決方法論，引導組織未來的營運方向。“建構”是我們與婦女權益促進發展基金會合作的商業訓練營，麥肯錫的顧問們與新住民女性創業家展開交流，並提供創業指導與建議。最後，我們也很榮幸邀請到來自為台灣而教、均一平台、誠致教育基金會、以及One-Forty超過40位的創辦人、執行團隊與高階主管，在教育影響力工作坊中的分享和對談中一起“成長”，共同探討台灣的教育議題以及提升各組織間合作綜效的長期策略。
我們非常感謝有機會在服務日這天與台灣的非營利組織建立更深的認識與交流，也期許未來能夠在社會影響力的推動上有更多合作。
