You add great insights, I will include them in the post as "updates". Research and interviewing skills are extremely important, as stakeholder insights should help a company define and deploy its own CSR strategy. Thanks again, Perrine Thank you Tom!

One definite asset that I would mention is project management skills and knowledge. While you don't need to be a project management professional, some basic knowledge will help with stakeholder mapping, engagement, and support building. It will also provide you with some tools to stay disciplined and achieve your goals. Besides that, maybe some culture change management, group facilitation, and interviewing and surveying skills and knowledge. While we cover some slightly different ground, you might be interested in checking out Provictus Consulting's free upcoming webinar, "The Eight Behaviours of a Socially Responsible Leader" (www.provictus.ca) Regards, Tom Snell Great post Perrine,
