- So if you’re all going to become social innovators, you are going to need to make a crucial shift, a paradigm shift. You need to replace profit and the profit motive with wellbeing and a holistic motive.You need to replace detached economic rationalist thinking and analysis with an understanding of systems, complexity and dynamics. An understanding of the interconnectedness of things, the embeddedness of systems and the nature of constant change.
- Once you have been able to do this, you can use 5 key criteria or bottom lines to check whether your new product, campaign or initiative is truly socially innovative and universally conscious. You can ask yourself, is this new initiative:Social beneficialEnvironmental Sustainable Culturally stimulatingEconomic viable Politically influentialIs it having a positive social impact on people and communities, Have I thought through the cradle to cradle life cycle of all its inputs and outputs, Is it encouraging or provoking cultural production or reinforcing positive culture in some way,Is it financially feasible, will it break even or make money, what will you do with the money if you make a profit, Is it advocating for some group of people or will it effect some policy or political outcome.
