  3. Background • Social innovation revisited in light of 2000’s innovation paradigm • Definitions: OECD/LEED, Stanford Social Innovation Review, NESTA, Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship, SIX/Young Foundation, Howaldtand Schwarz… • “New ideas –products, services and models- that simultaneously meet social needs and create new social relationships or collaborations” (Mulgan et al., 2007; BEPA 2010) • Housing under-researched

  4. Social innovation: process and outcomes

  5. Levels of analysis • Social needs of vulnerable groups • Challenges of society as a whole • Systemic reforms of societal configurations

  6. Aims • Gather housing practitioners’ perceptions on the meaning and usefulness of social innovation in housing • Identify concrete examples in Europe of social innovation in housing • Identify barriers and enablers to implement social innovation in housing

  7. Methods • Scoping interviews with key informants • Literature review on social innovation (in housing) • Questionnaire with housing practitioners (selected EU countries)

  8. Findings

  9. Key elements that define SI

  10. SI examples: common elements • User involvement • User perspective • Cross-sector collaboration • Multidimensional approach • Streamlining • User empowerment

  11. Case studies: Main fields where SI elements were found • Demographic change • EU networks • Rationalising community investment • New ways to help vulnerable groups (social experimentation)

  12. Barriers – key informants • Resistance to change • Excessive regulation • Lack of time (long term view) • Lack of government commitment • Political (counter)pressures • Lack of knowledge and information

  13. Barriers - practitioners

  14. Enablers – key informants • Openness to experimentation • Opportunities for exchange and cross-learning • Cultural factors • Residents’ participation • Innovative leaders

  15. Enablers - practitioners

  16. Conclusions • Nothing really “new”, but… • Conceptualisation as “social innovation” potentially leading to wider diffusion and development • Concept resonates amongst practitioners • Overall pragmatism rather than new paradigm • Role for housing professionals? Leaders or facilitators?
