Social innovation : the OECD definition

• It can concern conceptual, process or product change, organisational change and changes in financing, and new relationships with stakeholders and territories.” It seeks new answers to social problems by:

– identifying and delivering new services that improve the quality of life of individuals and communities;

– identifying and implementing new labour market integration processes, new competencies, new jobs, and new forms of participation, as diverse elements that each contribute to improving the position of individuals in the workforce both as producers and consumers. (OECD, 2000)

Why is social innovation relevant?

• To address social complex challenges by providing innovative solutions at local and global levels ( social and economic exclusion, poverty, ageing and demographic change, green growth, etc )

• To modernise public local services, general interest services and community services often by involving users in the design, implementation and evaluation of these services = reactivating, rebuilding social capital

• To respond in a more tailored, effective way to people’s needs

• Social innovation aims to produce social change. This can be incremental or radical

Key ingredients of social innovation

• Individual, collective and institutional creativity

• Capacity to « think out of the box » and to walk off the beaten tracks

• Ability to mobilise different human and financial ressources and to work in partnership: not the monopoly of one sector.

• Some actors ( eg social enteprises, community organisations) can be better suited than other sto implement social innovation

• Ability to make a social impact and to change the society – it requires an enabling environment with the adequate

incentives, finances, structures and drivers

Page 6: SOCIAL INNOVATION AND SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP: NEW STRATEGIES FOR SOCIAL CHANGE ANTONELLA NOYA, Senior Policy Analyst, OECD BALLYHOURA Development Forum

• A new economic model based on a triple bottom line with an explicit aim to produce positive social impact and externalities (well being of the users)

• Economic sustainability and entrepreneurial approach (often non profit constraint/cap)

• Ownership and governance models :multi- stakeholders governance (ex SCIC in France or CIC in UK)

Social enterprises’ features

Page 7: SOCIAL INNOVATION AND SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP: NEW STRATEGIES FOR SOCIAL CHANGE ANTONELLA NOYA, Senior Policy Analyst, OECD BALLYHOURA Development Forum

Are social enterprises better (social) innovators?

• Based on international researche (SELUSI) social enterprises seems more active in launching innovations in good, services and products than comparable « regular » enterprises

• 67% of radical innovation swere service related and 57% of social enteprises were at the time of starting up venturing in a new market

• • Values of universalism ,stimulation, benevolence more than power ,

conformity and tradition explain this

• Social entrepreneurs ideas invole more integrative ideas and approaches to problem solving and achieving sustainable behavioural change

• http://www.selusi.eu/• Still important to say that all social enterprises are not innovative
