To say that we all depend on new ideas is…well, not new at all. In every period of human history, old ideas, old structures and old ways of doing things pose challenges to an advancing world. Today, we face unprecedented complex challenges, with implications that reach across social, economic, cultural and environmental dimensions.
At the Centre for Social Innovation, we know that we – as individuals, organizations and societies – can surmount these challenges. To do this we need to work together. The Centre for Social Innovation is here to spark and support projects that exemplify our interests in market transformation, collaboration and systems change.
Market Transformation
We believe it is time to go beyond the for-profit / non-profit divisions that have hindered our ability to create new innovations that blend the best of both worlds.
Collaboration
Collaboration means more than working together. It means working across sectors and silos to conceive new ways of thinking and doing that will bring about sustained change.
Systems Change
It is one thing to address a problem. It is entirely another thing to affect the underlying circumstances that created that problem in the first place.
