At the Nonprofit Changemakers Summit in 2021, I made my case for social innovation (and how to do it effectively). Check out the recording of my presentation here.
In this video, you’ll hear me discuss:
- Big social problem that are stuck or getting worse
- The 3 key questions to ask to determine whether you should engage in social innovation
- How fundraising ourselves out of our problems is not the answer
- How organizations like AARP, NPR, Goodwill, and YMCA impact tens of millions of people (spoiler alert: their breakthroughs are the result of doing a great job of offering value, scale, and impact at the same time)
- The need to speed up our learning cycles, and
- The highly effective innovation strategies based on Lean Startup and Lean Impact.
I’ll also discuss the power of 3 critical Lean Impact principles:
- Think Big
- Start Small (and test quickly)
- Relentlessly Seek Value, Scale, and Impact.
