Social entrepreneurship great but…
‘Not everyone is a an entrepreneur’
Big Idea
Maybe not everyone is a social entrepreneur,
but everyone can be a social innovator.
What is social innovation?
‘A new idea that has the potential to improve the quality of life for society.’
Paraphrasing: Edwardo Pol and Simon Ville
[Really!] successful social innovation
‘Has durability and broad impact… it
profoundly changes the beliefs, basic routines, resource and authority flows of any social system in the direction of greater resilience [antifragility].
Social innovators can use:
Social innovation thinking is an approach to make you think in a way this is more universally conscious and innovative; it aims to make your decisions better for yourself and society.
Aim (Macro and Grandiose)
The aim of social innovation thinking is to find wicked problems in complex systems and co-design thriving solutions that are sustainable, antifragile and lead to improved well-being.
Aim (Micro and Humble)
The aim of social innovation thinking is to assist people in making better decisions about how to improve the well-being of their communities and society.
