SOCIAL INNOVATION
ICARUS THINK-TANK: Viable actions, from where to begin
INDIVIDUALS
Promoting the value of cooperation and teamwork to address
innovation.
Create opportunities where this experience can be tested
ORGANISATIONS
Promote the "good governance" and leadership aimed at
encouraging the development of people and the construction of
shared value with others. Impulse organizations advancing social
learning.
SOCIETY
Importance of defining what has "social value". Leveraging
policy towards the common good and social collaboration. It is
necessary to improve the quality of governance, responsible
involvement of the media and a review of educational and
research systems adapted to this reality. The Human
Development Index is not being used as an indicator of
economic measure of a society.
11
IDEAS FOR DISCUSSION
SOCIAL INNOVATION
1. Social innovation claims a central role for human society, to
help rethink economic issues and put them at our service.
2. We do not have measurement systems for social innovation
linked to sustainable economic innovation. Human
Development Index.
3. Do not forget that the process of influencing the environment is
mutually influential among the three levels individuals /
organisations / society.
4. Social innovation "is neither bought nor sold”; it is a social
process which must be conquered.
