Advanced Leadership Pathways: Inge Skjelfjord and the Cacao Supply Chain
By: Rosabeth Moss Kanter and Ai-Ling Jamila Malone
Abstract
Inge Skjelfjord, with a long career in international finance focused on agribusiness projects, had a vision to build a cacao research center that would help smallholder cacao farmers, who benefited the least from the chocolate value chain. He aimed to support the farmers’ well-being, while meeting the growing demand for cacao and solving the challenges that plagued the industry. Having encountered barriers in establishing an education facility in Ecuador, he had to figure out where and how to focus his efforts for his project to materialize.
