TWO SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT • Popularized in 1990’s. • Nonprofit starting earned income ventures. • Entrepreneurs revolutionize patterns (Schumpeter, 1942). • Long term, systemic change. • For profit, non-profit or hybrid.

SOCIAL INNOVATION “Social entrepreneurship is a process by which citizens build or transform institutions to advance solutions to social problems, such as poverty, illness, illiteracy, environmental destruction, human rights abuses and corruption, in order to make life better for many." - David Bornstein and Susan Davis © Skoll Centre © Skoll Centre
SOCIAL INNOVATION • Innovation is at the soul of entrepreneurship, and fostering innovative solutions to intractable societal challenges(Philis, et. al 2008, Martin and Osberg, 2007, Drayton, 2006, Alford, Brown and Letts, 2004). • Schumpeter’s seminal work contributed to the field by explicating how the entrepreneur innovates and uses “creative destruction” for economic growth (1942). • Social entrepreneurs create “large scale change through pattern breaking ideas” (Light, 2008). © Skoll Centre Grameen Dannone

DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION • Affluent nations, institutions and individuals continue to fund services that fail to deliver impact (Christensen’s article on Disruptive Innovation for Social Change 2006). • Challenges the status quo by arguing for ‘disruptive innovation’, challenging existing leaders in the industry to change the status quo, striving for breakthrough improvements (Christensen and Bower, 1995). • Name some recent social innovations? • Would you consider microfinance a disruptive innovation? © Skoll Centre © Skoll Centre
IMAGINE A SUSTAINABLE AND JUST WORLD “It’s quite possible to arrive in the year 2030 where people are no longer dying of poverty. We could actually help lead a global end—not a reduction, but an end—to absolute poverty…I have always found that a committed, powerful group of leaders, can make a huge difference.” — Jeffrey Sachs, the End of Poverty
INNOVATION SANDBOX • Process for breakthrough innovations. Four conditions the innovation must: • Result in a world-class quality product/service. • Achieve a significant price reduction—at least 90 percent off the cost of a comparable product or service in the West. • Be scalable: Must be produced, marketed, and used in many locales & circumstances. • Affordable at the bottom of the economic pyramid, reaching people with the lowest levels of income in any given society.

A CHALLENGE TO GOVERNMENTS • Challenge governments to spend less money on developing weapons of war than finding solutions to social needs (Young, 2006). • As a community, we need to continue to challenge the status quo and encourage the development of sustainable solutions by supporting the organisations who seek to address systemic problems. © Skoll Centre © Skoll Centre
