Event Details

Social Innovation Generation is pleased to announce that the Inspiring Action for Social Impact Series is concentrating its next webinar events entirely on Canadian ideas in social innovation.

All events are scheduled on Wednesdays 12noon - 1pm (ET, Nth America), with the exception of Tim Brodhead's presentation which coincides with the anniversary of the Task Force on Social Finance report release on Tuesday December 13, 2011. You can register for one webinar or for the entire series.

November 2: Frances Westley on Social Innovation and Resilience

November 9: Stephen Huddart on Managing Innovation. Stephen will talk to the following points:

  • why do we need managers who are skilled at social innovation?
  • what are the key capacities that leaders and managers bring to social innovation?
  • how do we create a social innovation culture inside our organisations?
  • how do we become a society that practices continuous social innovation?

November 16: Allyson Hewitt on Shared Value and what it means for the non-profit sector. 

  • Allyson will discuss Shared Value, the concept first popularized by Michael Porter and Mark Kramer in their Harvard Business Review article, and shape the discussion around the impact & import for the non-profit sector.

November 23: Cheryl Rose on Supporting Social Innovation through Community-University Partnerships 

  • Really effective collaborations between communities and universities are of increasing interest to organizational leaders, policy-makers, students, teachers, and researchers. They have the potential to be a crucial source of social innovation in the 21st century.  SiG@Waterloo has worked with five outstanding examples of such collaborations to find out what perspectives, processes and practices allow them to significantly support innovation to emerge, be sustained and to positively affect some of the most challenging problems of our time.

November 30: Tim Draimin on Global learning: Australia/Canada social innovation synergies

December 7: Al Etmanski on Natural Care
