About - SOCIAL INNOVATION
MAKING VALUE BY DOING GOOD IN OUR SOCIETY.
Social innovations are new solutions (products, services, models, markets, processes etc.) that simultaneously meet a social need (more effectively than existing solutions) and lead to new or improved capabilities and relationships and better use of assets and resources. In other words, social innovations are both good for society and enhance society’s capacity to act. Social Innovation entrepreneurship is about making money by doing good. Here are some short recommendations based on best experiences.
- Act like a innovative social entrepreneur.
- Design your programs around the needs of your founders.
- Create a safe space for lean experimentation, failure, and learning.
- Be a facilitator and offer support where and when needed.
- Lead by example, no more and no less.
Plug founders into your local ecosystem and you will create more than just a successful support program. You will grow a living, breathing community of socially-conscious founders and supporters.
