Looking for new welfare solutions, inclusive business models, ideas for reducing waste, sustainable product concepts, cutting-edge learning methods? Well these are just a few examples of what social innovation is all about: new solutions that solve societal problems or meet people’s unfulfilled needs in new ways that improve their lives. It is an expression of how we think, learn, live and work.

The co-operative movement, legislation, tax, therapy, insurance, stenography, labour unions, social welfare centres, kindergartens, management concepts, pedagogical methods and e-learning are all examples of social innovations that have emerged in the context of a particular period in history to meet the needs of their time.

In today’s quest for sustainability, social innovation is again proving to be a significant driver of creating both economic and social value in benefit of society.

New ways of solving problems – and doing business

Social innovation opens up for new ways of creating value, solving problems – and doing business. Local Exchange Trading Systems (LETS), venture philanthropy, microcredit, CSR, Fairtrade certifications, Gross Company Happiness measures, emissions trading and hybrid social business models are all examples of recent concepts that have emerged.

And thanks to web 2.0 technologies, we are rapidly moving into the era of innovation, where all conventional rules and logics are being challenged. It is a new world where creativity, responsibility, self-organization, participation and decentralization are key principles.

This is opening up to a new level of innovation, collaboration and co-creation across national borders, professions and organizational hierarchies. Welcome to Business Unusual!
