Social Innovation Organizational Labs: Providing practical training to Inspire Entrepreneurial Mindsets. The Social Innovations Lab is built on the premise that innovation is a process, not just an end result. The Social Innovations Lab takes participants through a process of innovation which transforms leaders and their companies into smarter, sharper, better versions of themselves. Through interactive guides and curriculum modules, participants from a variety of disciplines will imagine, refine, and pursue their own enterprises and innovations. Upon conclusion an organization leaves with an average of 3-9 social venture pitch ready business plans; a shift of the organizational culture toward innovation and adaption; increased social enterprise skills/competencies; and cross-department collaboration.
Business Case Development to Support Governmental Policy and Systems Change: Utilizing public data; international and national best practices and trends; and interviews with system leaders we build the business case demonstrating how adoption of new social innovation models leads both to improved social impact outcomes and cost savings.
Collective Impact Community Ownership: Utilizing a peer-to-peer (cross-organization) approach that organically narrows down the best and most feasible ideas to rise to the top while building collective "buy-in" across colleagues and institutions. Once the best and most feasible ideas are selected, our process assists cross-institutional teams to move toward the development of goals leading toward mutual accountability and sustainability.
Social Innovations and Entrepreneurship Professional Certification: In partnership with CGNFS International participants build their respective social innovation and enterprise skills and competencies leading to an internationally recognized professional certification that complements their academic degree.
