Thoughts On Innovation In Canada
The document summarizes factors influencing innovation in Canada based on a paper by Peter Hackett. It finds that Canada relies heavily on natural resources, has weak commercialization of research, lacks entrepreneurial culture, and faces structural barriers. Government interventions have been fragmented and ineffective at boosting industry R&D, PhD production, and venture capital performance. For innovation to increase, Canada must address skills gaps, incentive models, and the pace of institutional change. Individual efforts may be needed where government has lacked urgency and national coordination.

People and connections map
The People & Connections Map is a tool to visualize who an organization is trying to reach and how different individuals and organizations are involved or related to their work. It maps stakeholders in concentric circles to show their level of influence and proximity to the target audience or beneficiaries. The map is created by listing the target audience in the center and then mapping other people and organizations outward in circles and sections according to their relationship to the work. This provides a clear overview of networks and connections to help communicate and discuss key relationships.

Storyboarding
This document discusses storyboarding for a project by considering questions about how someone becomes aware of it, decides to get involved, and their experience throughout - from their initial experience to their experience as a mature user, and whether there is an end point. It focuses on using storyboarding to plan the user experience from start to finish.
S6 user journeys
This document provides a legend for mapping out user journeys and touchpoints with a service. It outlines questions to consider at each stage including what the user wants and does, how they come into contact with the service, and how the service answers the user's needs. Users move through stages from an initial need, deciding to use and first using the service, further ongoing use, and potential help with problems or end of use. The document instructs to map each persona's journey through the service using color-coded lines to connect their relevant touchpoints.
Customer journey 2
This document maps out a customer's journey through a service in 3 phases - before, during, and after - and identifies 15 total steps. The phases are labeled as before, during, and after using the service, with numbered steps illustrated for each phase to show the user's interactions and progression through the service.
Learning tool: Customer journey
This document provides instructions for creating a user storyboard to map out the key interactions and touchpoints of a service from the perspective of the main user. Users are directed to draw frames from the point of view of the primary user, write a narrative to explain the drawings with the user as the protagonist, and identify the main need expressed at each frame before selecting or designing touchpoints that address the identified needs.

I5 idea selection
Participants were asked to post potential solution ideas and vote on them using colored stickers to determine which ideas they wanted to further develop. The ideas were then sorted on a poster to collectively decide which were feasible, not yet feasible, or ordinary based on the voting in order to select the original ideas to focus on developing further.
Learning tool: Thinking hats
This document discusses the Thinking Hats technique for structured group discussions. It describes how Thinking Hats allows a discussion to consider different viewpoints by assigning each participant a role or "hat" such as logical, factual, cautious, emotional, or out of the box. Participants discuss an issue from the perspective of their assigned hat. This structures the conversation and avoids open debates, instead creating a meaningful discussion that considers all angles of an issue. The document provides instructions for how to implement Thinking Hats in a group.
Learning tool: Problem definition
This document describes a problem definition tool to help clarify priorities and focus on critical issues. The tool involves working through a worksheet individually or in a team to examine a problem from multiple angles. It structures the analysis of a problem in a way that efficiently compares issues and looks at deeper underlying problems rather than surface symptoms. Using the tool with stakeholders can provide different perspectives and lead to reframing problems in a manner that offers clues for effective solutions.
Learning tool: Idea framing
The document provides prompts to help define a challenge or problem, understand the real needs, and imagine what the solution would look like with the problem solved. It asks the reader to describe an idea that addresses the defined challenge and explains how the idea would achieve its goals.
Learning tool on cooperation
The document discusses different levels of cooperation in social innovation processes, from informal networking to long-term clusters. It presents a table that defines cooperation, collaboration, engagement, and clusters based on the intensity of ties, whether goals and benefits are mutual, what is shared like resources, and the duration of the link. Cooperation involves formal ties, sharing information and knowledge for development, having mutual goals and benefits, and medium-term duration.

SIC Launch Event: DSI Network
A field driven primarily by startups and new organizations, with established charities and social enterprises not adopting new technologies much. While new technologies show promise, more focus is needed on solving social challenges to effectively communicate benefits to broader audiences. The field sees a lot of new ideas but few have scaled significantly.
SIC Launch Event: The state of the union
Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation aims to:
1) Harness ICT networks and collective intelligence to support new economic models beyond GDP and cooperation.
2) Create awareness of sustainability challenges and bottom-up solutions from real communities.
3) Use open data, source and hardware for participatory innovation involving at least two non-ICT entities such as social entrepreneurs and civil society organizations.
SIC Launch Event: The state of the union
This document discusses social innovation research funded by the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon 2020). It focuses on research conducted under Societal Challenge 6 on inclusive, innovative and reflective societies.

The 2017 work program for Challenge 6 is outlined, with four main calls and 29 total topics addressing issues like education, inequalities, cultural participation, and migration. Brief descriptions are provided for several of the 2017 topics.
SIC Launch Event: CAPS Ecosystem
The document discusses new projects from the 2nd Call of the CAPS Ecosystem including environmental sensing, redistributing surplus food, using ICT in social and health care and small-scale farming, addressing water scarcity, security and quality, and taking a collective approach to crises. It provides contact information for the CAPSSI community hub for sharing resources and ideas and subscribing to the CAPSSI NEWS channel, and announces the upcoming Digital Social Innovation Fair 2017 in Rome.
SIC Launch Event: The state of the union
The document summarizes the state of social innovation in Europe based on research conducted by the Joint Research Centre. It discusses the mapping of over 600 social innovation initiatives across Europe, with a focus on initiatives that combine information and communication technologies with social services. It also introduces a proposed methodological framework called i-FRAME that aims to assess the impacts and return on investment of social innovation initiatives. Finally, it discusses ongoing work to analyze different scenarios for the future of welfare systems in Europe.

Successful SIs have durability and broad impact. While SI has recognizable stages and phases, achieving durability and scale is a dynamic process that requires both emergence of opportunity and deliberate agency, and a connection between the two. The capacity of any society to create a steady flow of SIs, particularly those which re-engage vulnerable populations, is an important contributor to the overall social and ecological resilience.” -Frances Westley Social Innovation Defined
