The philosophy that drives this name spans from our resolve to improve the GENERAL LIFESTYLE of people with socio-economic crisis and also ensures that this group of people attains FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL INDEPENDENCE required to maintain a stable society and a prosperous nation.

OUR STRATEGY

Based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, we aspire to meet needs as they relate to ;

  1. The Physiological or basic needs of our targets
  2. Provide safety and security where necessary
  3. Create relational warmth for the abandoned in other to experience love and affection
  4. Improve self-esteem of our targets through a 3E framework that we identified as EDUCATION, ENTERTAINMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
  5. Give them a sense of ownership that enables them to experience financial and social independence. This comes through the leadership framework that is built on strategic visions and executions

We intend to achieve the above by discovering socio-economic problems, develop ideas to solve them and deploy business and brand strategies to execute these ideas for the benefits of our targets

We discover socio-economic problems, develop ideas to solve them

TOOLS OF EXECUTION

MASLOW’S HIERARCHIES OF NEEDS

As a social enterprise with intellectual base, CSBEE uses the Maslow’s hierarchies of needs as a template to categorize the problems we have identified and use the best possible sociological strategies required to solve them.

THEORY OF CHANGE

We deploy the TOC tool (Theory of Change) as a social mechanism for structuring all our ideas. This TOC model thrives on the elements of;

  • Desired outcome: Every socio economic problem that we embark to solve must  be plausible/truthful    based on empirical evidences, feasible based on resource availability  and testable based on established key indicators. These are the key initiatives  we consider for solving socio- economic or socio- ecological problems.
  • The assumed relationship: For every socio- economic problem that we want to solve, we have this assumption that no problem exists in isolation. As a result, we diagnose the problem and solutions by considering these parameters; THE SYSTEM which speaks of policies and institutional frame works, POWER DYNAMICS represent corporate and cultural institutions and the influence they exert in creating or solving the problem and the USERS are classified as the victim or the beneficiary of the proposed solutions.
  • Strategic  thinking processes: Is the template for executing the strategic solutions we have devised. This process  follows a  logical and chronological patterns of executions. This logical model is made of input, output and output.

– Input (resources, contributions and investments);
– Output (Activities, services and products) and
– Outcome (results, measuring indicators)

DESIGN THINKING

This is a creative solution to human centered problems that follows a logical process. The application of design thinking helps us to become social innovators by;

  • Finding a similarity between the social intervention program we are proposing and commercial benefits it brings to a business or brands.
  • Finding the difference between two similar ideas and use these differences to solve sociological problems and enhance the brand equity of an enterprise
