Social Innovation

Social innovation....what is it exactly? So as not to get lost in terminology (which can often happen) the simplest definition of a social innovation is an idea that works for the public good. Social innovation refers to new ideas that resolve existing social, cultural, economic and environmental challenges for the benefit of people and planet.

Social innovation:
- evolves from new combinations or hybrids of
existing elements

- is rooted in a process of cutting across
organizational, sectoral & disciplinary boundaries

- creates compelling new relationships between
previously separate individuals & groups
