(2/2) Am 8.11.2023 fand übrgens der erste Global Soial Innovation Day statt! Ein Tag, der darauf aufmerksam machen sollte, wie wichtig #Sozialunternehmen und soziale Innovationen im Lösen gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen sind. Seitdem gibt es immer mehr Events, die sich mit neuen Formen des Wirtschaftens und mit der Wirkung von Organisationen auseinandersetzen. Wenn dich das Thema also interessiert, schau doch mal nach Tagungen und Konferenzen rund um das Schlagwort #SocialInnovation.

For reference, related to Rosalyn Metz's keynote at #ipres2025 :

"Resilience shows up when relationships do." - Wheatley & Frieze

USING EMERGENCE TO TAKE SOCIAL INNOVATIONS TO SCALE

* Stage One: Networks - discovering shared meaning and purpose
* Stage Two: Communities of Practice - developing new practices together
* Stage Three: Systems of Influence - new practices become the norm
