This document summarizes a presentation on social innovation. It defines social entrepreneurship and social innovations as solutions that create social value rather than private value. Microfinance is used as a case study to illustrate the stages of innovation - defining problems, generating ideas, piloting solutions, and scaling impact. The presentation argues that social innovations require cross-sector collaboration between civil society, government, and business to succeed and provides examples of organizations employing different strategic approaches. It emphasizes that social change happens gradually along a continuum rather than overnight.

Editor's Notes
- So let’s start delving into a definition of social innovation. Here is a picture of the social change landscapeSince the early 90’s there has been an explosion of “social” as a modifier, leading to a world today where we have social entrepreneurs, social enterprise, social capital and of course - social innovation. These are all important and valuable efforts. However, solving social problems takes more than adding the adjective “social” to business terms to create real solutions. Therefore, if we are serious about addressing the world problems we have to be serious about defining and understanding what we are talking about. So let’s take a deeper look at what these constructs are and how they are different and similar and in particular what is a social innovation.
- Now lets move to the diffusion and scaling stageThe 1990’s and 2000’s saw a dramatic scaling and diffusion of microfinance, both geographically and across sectors. The combination of social impact and commercial viability attracted traditional commercial banks to the sectorAnd government’s played a key role to bridge nonprofits and traditional banks - Across countries new relationships built Rise of for profit Microfinance institutions – organized as non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs)India as an example:Government move to link self-help groups with formal banks1999 – 33,000 credit linked banks2000 – 115,000 credit linked banks20004 had linked to 1,000,000 banks
- Tipping PointBecame viral after reaching over a million customers and implementing learned lessons:Ubiquitous distribution network Strong Brand- stand out in the community Product work all the timeAgent TrainingCombat FraudImportant to remember, the growth of M-pesa was not based on its original intention, rather from real customer usage
- So even on a small level – demonstrated value of cross-sector collaboration
