What is Digital
Social Innovation
?
Why is it so
interesting ?
• Empowers Citizens
• New opportunities for
partnerships and coproduction
between citizens and services
• Creates new opportunities to
collaborate on creating solutions
that have a social impact
• Increases the potential to rapidly
scale social innovations
• Better public value services
• Opportunities to develop and
scale decentralized
digital ecosystems
for the social good
Three overarching objectives
Defining and understanding the potential in Digital Social Innovation
Crowdmapping and engaging organisations working on, supporting and delivering DSI and how they are connected
Developing recommendations for how policy, funding and regulatory measures can be changed to better support DSI

of enabling the
crowdsourcing of
legislation, promoting
deliberative and
participatory
democracy and citizens
initiatives.

Parliament
Your Priorities
Your Priorities (YPRI) is a
web-based platform
developed by the Icelandic
Citizens Foundation. It
enables groups of people to
develop and prioritize ideas
together. Since 2008, the
Citizens Foundation has
used YPRI to promote
online, democratic debate
worldwide. YPRI is open
source and free of charge
to any group, city or country
around the world. The most
prominent use to date, is its
application in Reykjavik,
Iceland, where the city uses
the platform to source ideas
from citizens to be debated
in the city council on a
monthly basis.
We are using Your
Priorities to source
policy ideas for digital
social innovation…

Policy, funding and regulatory measures
to support the further growth of
Digital Social Innovation
Policy goals
Making it easier to create new digital SI (eg regulatory, funding &c)
Making it easier to grow and spread digital SI (eg public procurement, support for evidence generation, common standards)
Increasing the potential value of digital SI (eg making available open data, ubiquitous broadband)
Enabling some of the radical, disruptive innovations emerging from digital SI – new approaches to money, consumption, education, health

The spread of social
innovation support ...
Parks (Bilbao, Singapore)
Exchanges (SIX &c)
Camps (globally)
Funds (Australia, Hong Kong,France)
Government teams (Colombia to UK)
Incubators (several hundred)
Offices (eg White House)
Mayors (eg Seoul)
Prizes (US, Europe, China..)
Labs (Chile to Netherlands)
Corporate programmes (Vodafone, Danone, HP)
Consultancy units (McKinsey, Deloitte …)
Policy Tools….
DIRECT PROVISION – eg broadband infrastructure
DIRECT COMMISSIONING – eg online health platforms, public procurement
DIRECT FUNDING – eg grant aid, early stage, ongoing etc, challenge prizes
INVESTMENT – eg direct investment, co-funding of funds, wholesale investment;
INFORMATION – provision of information online open data; administrative data
PARTNERSHIPS – PPPs, PFIs, buildings, infrastructure, tech development
TAXES &c (eg recycling money from the big aggregators)
CHARGES (eg for data reuse)
SUBSIDIES (eg for start-ups)
TRADEABLE PERMITS, QUOTAS (eg locally produced media content)
REGULATION (eg opening up public services to competition)
LAW (eg prohibitions on child pornography on the internet, rights of identity)

Some examples: • Funding provision for incubators,
growth funds, experimental zones • Marketplaces for adoption,
exchange • Common markets • Showcases, testbeds, cities as
laboratories
Who can act? Different levels of
governance …
Exploring policies, funding mechanisms and Regulatory
measures to support Digital Social Innovation
Non-institutional actors are sources of innovation and need systemic synergies to diffuse
Making social impact most important
Mix of access to shared resources, skills, capabilities, and self- governance
frameworks to mobilise collective action
Building communities based on the right mix of motivation and incentives
(financial and non-monetary incentives and outcomes)
Access to knowledge, open infrastructures, and open licensing
schemes (Digital Commons)
Addressing barriers to growth and scale, connect across boundaries.
Reusability of solutions is key to scale without lock-in solutions
New indicators and metrics to assess the impact of DSI
and to know what works and what doesn’t
