But we concluded that our societies do social innovation far less well than innovation in technology and business .... with few dedicated institutions, resources, or supports
![Page 12: Social Innovation: where are we and where could we be? Seoul, October 2008 Geoff Mulgan](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013004/5681500c550346895dbde91c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Interest is beginning to grow fast in more systematic ways to design, shape and spread social innovations, but from a low base ...

• Governments wanting more effective solutions to social inclusion, healthcare, service delivery, education
• Business wanting to adapt to economy where biggest sectors are now health, care, learning
• Civil society wanting to get better at identifying needs, delivering services, solving problems rather than alleviating
• Foundations wanting to deal with root causes not only symptoms
• Radical politics wanting experimental methods rather than top-down blueprints
• ‘We think’ – collaborative innovation models spreading with principle that all of us are smarter than any of us

Widespread recognition that the big issues not soluble with business as usual – ageing, climate change, global inequality

Shared values
• Start from observation and engagement – not ideology
• Experiment small not big• Learn by doing- move fast from
ideas to action• Work across sectoral boundaries• Scan – and learn -globally• Act ‘with’ others, not doing things
‘to’, ‘for’, ‘at’ people
