Professor Linda Scott outlines why a broad-scale, cross-sectoral alliance joining the private sector, civil society, international agencies and national governments will be necessary if women’s economic empowerment is to be achieved and sustained on a global scale. Her report argues for a new approach for including women - one that makes use of the special capabilities of the private sector and harnesses the world economy for change.

Dr. Linda Scott is DP World Chair for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Oxford's Said Business School in England. She is best known for her concept of The Double X Economy, in which the world economy is reimagined as a complex, interconnected and potentially powerful community of women who are not only consumers and workers, but also investors and philanthropists. Her message was delivered at the 2016 Business and Community Leaders Luncheon sponsored by LaGrange College. Leadership Council president Chris Edwards introduces Dr. Scott.
