This book was released on with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Social Innovation in Canada summarizes the results of that discussion, highlighting a broad consensus on the need to support social innovation by improving the stability of funding for non-profits, broadening the types of financial instruments available to the sector, improving the efficiency of accountability requirements, and reforming the regulatory and tax systems. [...] Key themes for further discussion could include: A future-oriented vision for the non-profit sector A common understanding of social innovation and the social economy The roles and responsibilities of the sector and of government and the private sector What the sector itself can do to secure its own future A new framework for government support to the sector How to enhance non-governmental support. [...] The purpose of this paper is to stimulate a dialogue within the non-profit sector, in all its diversity, and between the sector and government10, in order to do two things: • To begin to imagine the future for citizen organizations working at the community level; and • To provide a framework to help in the implementation of the federal Budget 2004 measures and guide the development of further init. [...] Whatever the terms and classification system used to describe the sector and its components, the critical point is the capacity of the non-profit sector to play an important and often unique role in serving Canadians, to promote and lead social innovation, and to contribute in a significant and meaningful way to Canada's social and economic development and the well-being of individuals and communi. [...] The Policy Rationale for Supporting the Non-profit Sector Why should governments support the work of the non-profit sector, through the use of public funds, policy and legislation or regulation? What role or roles in society and the economy can it play that government and the private sector cannot or will not play? What are the strengths and qualities of the sector that enable it to play these rol.

Book excerpt: The 21st century has brought a cornucopia of new knowledge and technologies. But there has been little progress in our ability to solve social problems using social innovation – the deliberate invention of new solutions to meet social needs - across the globe. Geoff Mulgan is a pioneer in the global field of social innovation. Building on his experience advising international governments, businesses and foundations, he explains how it provides answers to today’s global social, economic and sustainability issues. He argues for matching R&D in technology and science with a socially focused R&D and harnessing creative imagination on a larger scale than ever before. Weaving together history, ideas, policy and practice, he shows how social innovation is now coming of age, offering a comprehensive view of what can be done to solve the global social challenges we face.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Informed observers and policy makers are well aware that in recent years social welfare systems on both sides of the Atlantic have been subject to growing scrutiny, debate and controversy, especially due to high unemployment rates and extreme interest rates experienced during the last recession as well as important demographic changes such as the increase of women into the labour market and the aging population. The papers included in the colloquium discuss the situation of social welfare policy in three stages: historical developments and forces for change; the influence of the political process on social security developments; and, the nature of policy responses to demographic change.

Book excerpt: Social Innovation in Canada, by Mark Goldenberg, a former federal assistant deputy minister who worked on social and labour market policy, examines the role of the non-profit sector in social innovation and what needs to be done to make the most of it. [...] Goldenberg explains why non-profit organizations are so innovative, and why they have become such a critical vehicle for well-being - because they deliver services that neither the state or the private sector can or will provide as effectively and efficiently, because of their holistic approach and "place- specific" policies and services, and because of their ability to foster social capital and a. [...] "This is the key to freeing its creative potential for the well-being of Canadians." CPRN is also releasing a report today on the results of a roundtable, held with the financial support of Social Development Canada, to discuss the Goldenberg paper and to develop a future vision and action plan for social innovation. [...] The Future of Social Innovation in Canada presents the views of participants from all parts of the non-profit sector, from all levels of government, foundations and from the research community. [...] Among other things, participants called for: efforts by government and other funders, and within organizations, to foster a culture of risk-taking and innovation; increased delegation of authority by government to local decision- makers; regulatory reform and creative uses of the tax system to support social innovation; new financing instruments and mechanisms to encourage and leverage support fro.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social innovation (SI) has, in the last decade or so, become an important idea and concept in policy, practice and scholarship surrounding human development. It is often seen as an antidote to narrowly defined technological and market-oriented modes of innovation. Its historical significance and development, tied to centuries of struggles for social change, remain under-appreciated and unacknowledged. This Advanced Introduction explores the historical and contemporary meanings of social innovation and its relationship with political and social movements. It develops an understanding of SI as a form of ethical practice for meeting needs, transforming social relations, and collectively empowering communities to shape the future. Additionally, it proposes that ethical research should aim to be socially innovative in this sense and provides concrete suggestions of how this concern can be embodied in action-research and community development methodologies.

Book excerpt: The federal Budget of March 2004, however, recognizes the important contribution of the sector to society and the economy, and offers hope that ways can be found to improve support to the sector and help maximize its contribution.

[...] 3 Third, the non-profit sector can help develop social capital and a shared sense of citizenship, and contribute to the working of a healthy and vital democracy in Canada. [...] 4 Finding effective solutions will require dialogue among all concerned - dialogue between the sector and government, but also dialogue within the sector itself in order for the various movements in it to identify common ground and interests and articulate the kinds of institutional changes that will allow the sector to realize its potential.

Download or read book Getting Beyond Better written by Roger L. Martin and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who drives transformation in society? How do they do it? In this compelling book, strategy guru Roger L. Martin and Skoll Foundation President and CEO Sally R. Osberg describe how social entrepreneurs target systems that exist in a stable but unjust equilibrium and transform them into entirely new, superior, and sustainable equilibria. All of these leaders--call them disrupters, visionaries, or changemakers--develop, build, and scale their solutions in ways that bring about the truly revolutionary change that makes the world a fairer and better place. The book begins with a probing and useful theory of social entrepreneurship, moving through history to illuminate what it is, how it works, and the nature of its role in modern society. The authors then set out a framework for understanding how successful social entrepreneuars actually go about producing transformative change. There are four key stages: understanding the world; envisioning a new future; building a model for change; and scaling the solution. With both depth and nuance, Martin and Osberg offer rich examples and personal stories and share lessons and tools invaluable to anyone who aspires to drive positive change, whatever the context. Getting Beyond Better sets forth a bold new framework, demonstrating how and why meaningful change actually happens in the world and providing concrete lessons and a practical model for businesses, policymakers, civil society organizations, and individuals who seek to transform our world for good.

Download or read book The Evolution of Social Innovation written by Frances Westley and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-29 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time where governments and civil society organizations are putting ever-greater stock in social innovation as a route to transformation, understanding what characterizes social innovation with transformative potential is important. Exciting and promising ideas seem to die out as often as they take flight, and market mechanisms, which go a long way towards contributing to successful technical innovations, play an insignificant role in social innovations. The cases in this book explore the evolution of successful social innovation through time, from the ideas which catalysed social and system entrepreneurs to create new processes, platforms, projects and programs to fundamental social shifts in culture, economics, laws and policies which occurred as a result. In doing so, the authors shed light on how to recognize transformative potential in the early stage innovations we see today.

Book excerpt: "[The authors] propose a radical new theory to explain the nature of innovation ecosystems -- human networks that generate extraordinary creativity and output. They argue that free market thinking fails to consider the impact of human nature on the innovation process. This ambitious work challenges the basic assumptions that economists have held for over a century."--Page 4 of cover
