The practice involves cutting across organizational and

and groups

Example Of Social Innovation:

Publicly funded primary or secondary schools that operate
free from some of the regulations that typically apply to
public schools.
Administrators, teachers, and parents thus have the
opportunity to develop innovative teaching methods.

3) Fair Trade

standards for coffee, chocolate, sugar, and other products
By certifying traders that pay producers a living wage and
meet other social and environmental standards, the fair
trade movement improves farmers lives and promotes
environmental sustainability.

Habitat Conservation Plans is an effort by the US Fish and
Wild Life Service and the Environmental Protection Agency to
protect species and their endangerment by providing
economical incentives to conserve their habitats and protect
these species from endangerment.

How Social Innovation Differs From


Social Entrepreneurship and Social
Enterprise
Although social entrepreneurship and social enterprise have
become popular rallying points for those trying to improve
the world, social change can happen outside of them. These
two notions are positive ones, but neither is adequate when
it comes to understanding and creating social change. In
fact, social innovation is a better vehicle.
Social innovation focuses attention on the ideas and
solutions that create social value as well as the processes
through which they are generated, not just on individuals and
organizations.
