Social innovation has no end point. We do not find the permanent solution to the complex problems that face society and our environment. Thus, we strive to increase our understanding of and our capacity to respond to such problems in continuously innovative ways.
Come and hear Dr. Frances Westley, best-selling co-author of Getting to Maybe: How the World is Changed, share new insights into understanding complexity and transformative change, and the critical dimensions of “maybe.” We will explore:
- The importance of resilience concepts―strategies for both increasing and decreasing pockets of resilience within our social systems
- The potential of social innovation design labs for supporting system change
- The connective role of institutional entrepreneurs and their relationship to the inventiveness of social entrepreneurs
- Presented in partnership with the SiG Inspiring Action for Social Impact Series
