2. To seek out, galvanise and
support new, effective and
widely adopted solutions that
transform how we address big
social challenges through the
use of digital technology.
• Social investments and grants of c£5m per year
• Aim to demonstrate how digital technology can be used to redesign the way we address
persistent social challenges
•Aim to support (in addition to funding) to scale the social and economic impact
•Foundation charity of Nominet – the .UK domain registry (10m+ .uk websites)
Our mission
4. The successful application of new ideas generated
at the intersection of insight and invention, which
leads to the creation of social or economic value
Insight understanding the context, histories and work of others
Invention finding and developing the best ideas
Application putting ideas into practice
Value capturing outcomes, impact and learning
Social Innovation
5. Redesigning our approach to social innovation
Affordances of
digital Tech
Social
Entrepreneurship
Designing from
‘first principles’
Consider together, the:
Affordances of digital technology
The values & energy of social
entrepreneurship and social business
Look again at the challenges and
redesign approaches
8. It’s not just a lack of space suits...
The use of digital technology provides remarkable
opportunities to redesign how we address persistent social
challenges
This requires:
• Creativity and imagination for how else we might address
these issues
• Risk taking and testing of these new approaches
• Entrepreneurship and willingness
• Aspiration, persistence and tenacity
• (openness, collaboration...)
9. + redesign + affordances of tech + social ent?
What can it look like?

Global intergenerational site, 40,000 contributors, 600,000 app users
Peoria Hist Soc 1.4 mill hits to website, $14,000 image sales
Consumer product led; incredible design; ‘social value’ built in
11. Brand new approach to exploring Big scientific questions
Cancer Research UK + Zooniverse + you
Big data; Crowd-sourced activity; shift from institution-owned activity to public activity, micro-tasks
Cell Slider
12. Aggregating resources, increasing awareness & access to digital making activities
New journeys for digital making
Nominet Trust, Nesta, Mozilla plus many other partners
Kranzberg’s 1st law of tech: Technology is neither good nor bad, nor is it neutral
Make Things
Do Stuff
15. Networked technologies, mass computational power enables us to make sense
of huge data sets, providing new insight into challenges; how services are used;
how to allocate resources

Thanks – great group, privilage to talk with youWho are NTSo what are we looking for when we seek out social innovationSo what does this look like. I’ll give some positive examples in a mo, but first, I generally think it looks like thisWhy potential? But why not yet fulfilled?Still early, difficult, so we need to explore and discover together
Part of this is commissioning relevant research, documents and publications that can inform us, partners, future applicants and others working toward similar aimsWorking in partnershipDeveloping programmes of funding/investment
Open – not tied to a particular social challengeInnovation - complicated but brings together these things
Properties of technology – ways in which they can be used...
Frustration and potential (digi lit good, more to redesign
Starting point for this is that there are already lots of examples of how digi tech have changed the way we communicate, buy and sell etcPotential of digi tech –if we were to design how you access information now, knowing how much comp power you have in your pocket; design learning interactions; ways of reducing social isolation etc etc, perhaps we would do it differently.Moore’s law – tech to get into space! – with this growth – how would wWhe begin to design what social care, education, addressing poverty, environmental action could look like in 5 years time? What sort of action would you like to see in 5 years time – let’s start testing and developing it now.We can expect Moore’s law to continue – so EXPLORE if you have a super computer in your pocket, sensor devices in your hand and environment how would you address social challenges? OR, another way of looking at this (William Gibson, future’s already here its just not evenly distributed) – if we imagine more people have current smartphones, internet access, tablets etc – how would we design approaches?£500 tablet will cost under £100 in 4 years
.. . But this isn’t easy.
New way of thinking about problem – consumer product led, not always social mission led
DataCrowd
Aggregation and new routes to support
New design processes making the most of user co-designEric von hippel- user design most important. Process as important as product
