Social Innovation
A novel solution to a social problem that is more effective, efficient, sustainable, or just than existing solutions and for
which the value created accrues primarily to society as a whole rather
than private individuals

Key Questions
• What contribution can social innovation make to solving the greatest challenges of our time?
• What is the role of:• Markets as sources of innovation, investment and
competition• Government as a regulator, policy maker and investor• Civil society as guardian of values and source of non-
market innovation
• And how do all three work creatively together?

Social Innovation
• ‘Wicked problems need clumsy solutions’• Social innovation blurs sector boundaries and
reconfigures relationships• Often disrupts ineffective or unjust systems• Requires entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship
• Institutional entrepreneurs are champions are critical• Government can generate, sponsor, or catalyse social
innovation

Economic Crisis

• Failure of perfect market theory• Huge government deficits
• Increased taxes/massive public sector cuts• Euro-zone crisis

Welfare Reform
Britain needs a long wave of social innovation…this wave of social innovation will come from several
sources. Innovation in ideas and policies will be vital to underpin the values and philosophy of an active,
problem-solving welfare system. Organisational innovation will also be important, to create new institutions capable of delivering a new form of
welfare
Leadbeater (1997)
