Social enterprise …. organisation? activity? or both?
“a social enterprise is a business with primarily social objectives … ”
“ another tool in the box (for financial sustainability) or the whole workshop”
“an activity, rather than an organisational type - something organisations ‘do’, rather than ‘are’”
“combining the best charity and business practices for economic and community development”

Being enterprising – our USP?
“why is it that, in a time of rampant
competition and fast-paced change, the
voluntary sector is not leading the way
when it comes to innovative practices?”
nfpsynergy

Age, stage and enterprise
But …
“Entrepreneurship exists in very large and
mature organisations, and it can also be
absent in start-ups… entrepreneurship is
an attitude towards change.”
Warren Tranquada and John Pepin
