These readings are not compulsory. However, they are intended to provide you with some background information on the latest trends and thinking in social innovation among businesses. Some of these readings will be discussed during the innovation journey. Social innovation: what it is, why it matters & how it can be accelerated (download) http://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/ideas-impact/skoll/research/social-innovation-reports-resources/social-innovation-what-it-why-it-matters-how-it-can-be-accelerated Authors: Geoff Mulgan with Simon Tucker, Rushanara Ali & Ben Sanders The results of social innovation are all around us. Self-help health groups and self-build housing; telephone help lines and telethon fundraising; neighbourhood nurseries and neighbourhood wardens; Wikipedia and the Open University; complementary medicine, holistic health and hospices; microcredit and consumer cooperatives; charity shops and the fair trade movement; zero carbon housing schemes and community wind farms; restorative justice and community courts. All are examples of social innovation – new ideas that work to meet pressing unmet needs and improve peoples’ lives. This report is about how we can improve societies’ capacities to solve their problems. It is about old and new methods for mobilising the ubiquitous intelligence that exists within any society. Breakthrough Capitalism http://volans.com/project/breakthrough-capitalism/ An initiative by Volans which brings together investors, policy-makers, business people and thinkers, in order to identify how our economic model needs to evolve in the face of complex global challenges. In May 2012, Volans organised the first Breakthrough Capitalism Forum to explore and debate themes such as:

Capitalism Unplugged: outlining the growing sense that our challenges relate to systemic failure

Breakthrough Innovation: how investors, entrepreneurs & policymakers are driving change

System Dynamics: where barriers to breakthrough exist and how they can be removed

Scaling Solutions: how breakthrough solutions can deliver system-level change

Watch full videos and read the progress report on the Breakthrough Capitalism website. The Future Quotient: 50 Stars in Seriously Long-Term Innovation http://volans.com/project/the-future-quotient/ At a critical point in the history of global development, we have a choice to continue living in a world where ‘quarterly capitalism’ is the norm, or we can begin a process of transforming the way our economy works, the values it embraces, the cultures it builds and the future it incubates. 2012 will see a number of milestone events, among them the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Brundtland Commission report, Our Common Future, the twentieth anniversary of the UN Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro and the London ‘One Planet’ Olympics. Meanwhile, the evidence suggests that many CEOs of leading businesses think they have the issue sorted: a UN Global Compact/Accenture study found in 2010 that 81% of over 760 CEOs polled worldwide think that they have already “embedded” sustainability. The Future Quotient — developed by Volans in partnership with JWT — aims to explore innovation that is designed by people in business and governments that have the capacity to create value in the long-term. What do we mean by ‘long-term’? Generally, we believe that refers to a time horizon of beyond 33 years – the defined age of a generation. Thus the innovation we hope to explore and profile is that which is future-centric and intergenerational in nature. The Social Intrapreneur – A Field Guide for Corporate Changemakers www.sustainability.com/library/the-social-intrapreneur?path=library/the-social-intrapreneurs#.TwXWqUpxBUg Social intrapreneur, n. 1 Someone who works inside major corporations or organisations to develop and promote practical solutions to social or environmental challenges where progress is currently stalled by market failures. 2 Someone who applies the principles of social entrepreneurship inside a major organisation. 3 One characterised by an ‘insider-outsider’ mindset and approach. In this groundbreaking report, John Elkington explores four primary questions: 1. What are the forces driving business to more proactively address societal challenges, such as climate

change, health care and human rights? 2. What specific business ventures are emerging? 3. Who are the people behind these initiatives and how do they work? 4. What early lessons can be gleaned for aspiring intrapreneurs and those looking to support them?

Roundtable on Shared Value – Stanford Social Innovation Review www.ssireview.org/articles/entry/qa_roundtable_on_shared_value Executives from 10 major corporations gathered in New York City to discuss the innovative ways that they are putting societal issues at the core of their companies’ strategy and operations. The Impact Investor’s Handbook www.cafonline.org/pdf/impact_investor_report_2011.pdf This handbook analyses the historic group of the global microfinance industry, organised into three conceptual areas: proof of concept, market-building activities and cultural factors. Throughout the handbook, the term ‘social investment market’ refers specifically to the range of impact investing in the UK.

Biographies Monday meetings Peter Baeck Peter focuses on social innovation and innovation in public services. He is currently co-leading a large EU funded research project on digital social innovation. Alongside this Peter has worked on much of Nesta's research into crowdfunding as an innovative way of financing products and services in the UK, and has co-authored the reports Crowdingin and Working the Crowd, and worked on the development of the online crowdfunding directory, Crowdingin.com. Peter has also delivered research and project management for People Powered Health (PPH) - a one year Nesta programme that, through a partnership with six UK health localities, explored how coproduction for people living with long term health conditions, can be taken to scale within health services. A particular focus of PPH is capturing evidence on the impact on patient outcomes and cost of health services by coproduced solutions. Prior to joining Nesta Peter worked for Innovation Unit, a social enterprise that designs, delivers and evaluates public sector and social innovation programmes. Peter co-authored the Radical Efficiency (2010) research paper which identified international examples of public sector innovations that deliver better quality outcomes for lower costs. He also helped design the service blueprint for a new joined up service for reoffending drug addicts that involve users in the design and delivery of the service, for a London local authority. Peter holds a M.Sc in Politics and Public Administration from Aalborg University in Denmark.

More info here: http://gsen.unltd.org.uk/. My role is mainly about understanding the most efficient support mechanisms for social entrepreneurs (based on UnLtd’s wide ranging and proven experience) and translate them for organisations supporting social entrepreneurs around the world, so that they can easily adapt those tools and methods to their own local contexts.

Wednesday meetings James Togut An entrepreneurial social innovator, James describes himself as a ‘disrupter of disrupters’. He engages fellow innovators and others in conversations about the deeper purpose and meaning of their work, suggesting a broader narrative of ‘a good life for all’. Helping to reflect more deeply, he asks two questions: “What good life can I live?” and “What good life can I help others live?”. For James, a good life means living life as fully as he can in connection with, and in service of, other people and our fellow creatures. He set up A Good Life For All, a social enterprise based in Brighton, to create opportunities for people and organisations to help each other, and themselves. By designing non-zero-sum situations, where mutually beneficial relationships can thrive, more can be done with our human and material resources. Non-zero-sumness forms the DNA of the products and services it has innovated: FoodDrop enables groups to bulk buy high quality dried goods, CityMakers helps people to share more of their things, talents and time online, the Sunshine Bank rewards people who do good and incentivises new action, and Awelots, currently in development, is a new technology for creating and experiencing a good life for all. The Sunshine Bank won awards for digital innovation in public services and CityMakers a global innovation award in the Cities Pilot the Future competition. A Good Life For All holds ground-breaking events that are fun: a potlatch to celebrate giving, laughter flashmobs to raise awareness of how behaviours spread through our social networks, and a 500-year business idea

generation workshop, demonstrating people’s power to solve their own problems by turning them into businesses. A Good Life For All also engages social innovators and others in conversations about wicked problems, combinatorial creativity and a good life for all in Good Life Pow-Wow. Before all this… Curious and adventuresome, James travelled to Bangladesh in his early 20’s, after graduating with a BA in French and Education, where he was locally employed by the British Council in Dhaka to teach English. The money was good and his students engaged, but he wanted to experience more of this fascinating country. He approached technical and other colleges, charities and NGOs, finally persuading Gono Shahajjo Sangstha (GSS), a ground-breaking local NGO, to create a job for him teaching English to staff and writing reports for donors. He somehow also found time to write material and record dialogue for an English language distance learning course at the Bangladesh Open University. After a year and a half, he returned to the UK, where he completed a full-time, full-on MA in Television for Development, which included a two-month participatory video project in a Scottish forestry village. He then worked for 12 years in a communications and publications capacity for local, national and international charities focused on older people (Age Concern), people living with HIV (International HIV/AIDS Alliance), young offenders and ex-prisoners (Nacro), and on human rights (Peace Brigades International), the natural environment (Friends of the Earth), and the built environment (The Civic Trust). He also worked with the Youth Justice Board, the public body that oversees the youth justice system, and Facilitate, a private medical communications company. Redundancy offered an opportunity to re-evaluate his work-life’s direction and James trained and qualified as Certified Professional Co-Active Coach. This opened up his world, led him to imagine the Sunshine Bank and to set up A Good Life For All. In 2013, he graduated from the FuseBox Amp and took his personal development to a new level on the Mastery of Self Expression. James lives with his very civil partner, Sham, by the sea in Brighton.

In the 1970s she was munching on pasta dishes and goulash with poppy seeded noodles, while her friends were trying to swallow boiled potatoes and dried out pork chops. Her parents were big on eating: something she was rather embarrassed of at the time. But she is now, of course, thankful of their taste buds and her exposure to all things good. Having worked in London restaurants and delis for 20 years, Tina moved to Brighton to embark on a foundation degree in Food and Culinary Arts. On its completion in 2010, with loads of focused passion, she set up her

Lucy Nightingale SLV (formerly known as “SL Volunteers”) was set up by a team of students and graduates in 2010. The team was led by Lucy Nightingale, a Psychology Graduate of Manchester University, who was inspired to return to Sri Lanka after her own experience volunteering there in 2005. Lucy co-founded the organisation with Yasintha Rathnayake, a Sri Lankan Youth Worker, who acted as an initial liaison for local projects before becoming the full-time Sri Lankan Project Manager. The SLV team welcomed International Development Graduate, David Shannon, as a UK Project Manager in 2011, and has since grown both in the UK and in Sri Lanka. With David’s help, SLV has expanded to over 35 different projects in the Colombo district and now accepts volunteers from across the world. Lucy Nightingale’s most recent goal has been to create opportunities for those wanting to gain work experience in the mental health sector. The SLV team has since established a Psychology Placement with the support from Clinical Psychologists and Psychiatrists from Samutthàna, the King’s College London resource centre for trauma, displacement and mental health in Sri Lanka.
