I think what connects the challenge for business, the challenge for government and the challenge for communi?es now, is both simple and difficult. We know our socie?es have to radically change. We know we can’t go back to where we were before. Geoff Mulgan Chief Execu?ve, NESTA

InnovaJons that are both social in their ends and in
their means…simultaneously meet social needs & create
new social relaJonships and collaboraJons – Open Book of S.I.
DefiniJons of Social InnovaJon Any iniJaJve (product, process, program, projects or plaborm) that
challenges and, overJme, contributes to changing the defining rouJnes, resource and authority flows or beliefs of the broader social system in which
it is introduced. Successful social innovaJons have durability, scale and transformaJve impact – Frances Westley
Social innovaJon is both a desJnaJon — the resoluJon of complex social & environmental challenges — and a journey — devising new approaches that engage all stakeholders,
leveraging their competencies and creaJvity to design novel soluJons
– Tim Brodhead
The process of designing, developing and growing new ideas that work to meet
pressing unmet needs – Social InnovaJon
Exchange
New ideas that resolve exisJng social, cultural,
economic and environmental
challenges for the benefit of people and
planet – Centre for Social
InnovaJon
Seeing things differently and imagining that which could be. It is about asking quesJons of ourselves and our insJtuJons and wondering whether we
can do bejer – BC Social InnovaJon

IN THE CONTEXT OF CHANGING THE SYSTEM DYNAMICS THAT CREATED THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE, A SOCIAL INNOVATION IS:
Any iniJaJve (product, process, program, project, principles or plaborm) that challenges and, over Jme, contributes to posiJvely changing the defining rou?nes, resource and authority flows or beliefs of the broader social system in which it is introduced.

The nature of innovaJon in the social sector
![Page 24: Tim Draimin: Making Change Through Social Innovation (Make Something Edmonton, 13 March, 2015)](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588367bc1a28ab536b8b5a19/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Private sector innovaJon model 24
Two students develop an idea at Stanford. They move into a garage…Google is born.
Google illustrates one private sector innovaJon model:
1. Create a start-‐up. 2. Create project teams on big ideas: computerized eyewear, driverless
cars, etc. 3. Let individual staff members dedicate 20% of their Jme to an
approved project or idea. 4. Buy upstarts – 178 companies bought: Gizmo5, YouTube, Waze,
Zagat, Motorola.

Community sector innovaJon model 25
What is the social sector innovaJon model? History points to:
1. Building from iniJaJves started by the faith
community, labour associaJons, co-‐ops 2. IniJaJves of passionate amateurs, people
personally driven to tackle a problem and most oTen building an organizaJon around their work
3. Building from public sector innovaJon (e.g. New Deal expands social programs)
New Trends:
1. Dedicated innovaJon teams or programs 2. Social change labs, social innovaJon labs… 3. Social InnovaJon Camps

What is a social entrepreneur? 35
"Social entrepreneurs idenJfy resources where people only see problems. They view the villagers as the soluJon, not the passive beneficiary. They begin with the assumpJon of competence and unleash resources in the communiJes they're serving.” From: David Bornstein, How to Change the World. Oxford University Press, 2004.

Nurturing an ecosystem for social innovaJon
Collabora?on is the human face of systems thinking – Peter Senge
COLLABORATION Silicon Valley is not a place; it's a mindset. The Valley's ecosystem is fueled by culture, connec?vity, and crea?vity – Victor W. Hwang
MINDSET
LEADERSHIP Whatever your vision or passion for the future…take the road less travelled by way of systems entrepreneurship because, as Robert Frost said, we will look back years from now and know “that has made all the difference” – Hamoon Ekh?ari
Social innova?ons not only emerge from rela?onships, but
also thrive and endure in rela?onships – Al Etmanski
BRIDGING SOCIAL CAPITAL
![Page 45: Tim Draimin: Making Change Through Social Innovation (Make Something Edmonton, 13 March, 2015)](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030223/588367bc1a28ab536b8b5a19/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The missing piece? A network as the ‘keystone’ 45
“The traits of a keystone – the abiliJes to bring disparate people together, to exercise persuasion over them, and to give them a common agenda for mutual benefit. Like a honeybee connecJng ecosystems that are miles apart, the power of a keystone is that she makes the whole so much greater than the sum of its parts.” – Victor W. Hwang and Greg Horowim, The Rainforest: The Secret to Building the Next Silicon Valley (2012)
