	<description><![CDATA[This event will focus on Larry Sullivan’s shared value initiatives in his businesses and how he sees social responsibility not as tokenistic but truly embedded into his companies. He will discuss creating economic as well as societal value as demonstrated by his latest venture: The Cookie Bar; a social enterprise in Surrey. He will speak on the importance of various principles, processes and techniques that he used as part of starting and establishing businesses around the world including the significance of building a team comprised of balanced personalities.

Larry is Chairman of COINS, a global software solutions company; he is also founder of five other niche market software houses. His companies include Total Objects and OASIS Solutions, where he is also Chairman. His past directorships include CSBI SA (Poland), Computerland Poland, CSBI EE (Russia), CSB Meridian, and Matrix Ventures, a venture capital trust.  In 2004 Larry also funded and established the not for profit Stepping Stones School, a school for children with hemiplegia and mild to moderate learning difficulties. He established the COINS Foundation in 2006 to galvanise the charitable activities of his companies.  Last year Larry launched The Cookie Bar; a social enterprise with profits going back to schools and projects supported by the COINS Foundation. He intends to open a second Cookie Bar in the City of London; linking them to schools and running them as social enterprises and helping children to achieve social and economic independence.
