Why aren’t the big players flocking in to scale these enterprises that are solving problems and could be doing so profitably when they reach scale
imagine doing that with the millions of entrepreneurs walking into school bldgs daily
While easier to do and sure to attract attention, the mature social enterprises who obtained their credentials several years ago, already know it does not lead to scale nor sustainability. The lack of successfully scaled examples demonstrates that the sum total of these “do more good” efforts falls far short of the wisdom, talent and investment needed to solve real social challenges.
As with other innovation this selection is just the beginning. From here, testing which models and management teams can absorb talent and capital with continuous learning and adapting to new cultures and systems becomes critical. Experimentation now consumes the reallocated investment,beginning with select innovators funded to test and learn alongside “go to market” partners who already have testing infrastructure in place.
we already have the best labs in place.. trillions.. already invested.. allocated. best people, . we call it school
but we are squandering that daily.. every second.. 40 are successful.. at committing suicide. in larimer cry.. 1 every 9 days.. this.. supposed best place to live.
just currently grinding our wheels by making it compulsory.
we spend more money on that (school, et al), than any one would ever need to create solutions. we spend more people and resources on that (school et al) that only perpetuate more dependency on problems.. than are freed up to create and to create/perpetuate solutions..
ie.. mat spent on health care... when maybe 90% of people seeking health care.. really aren't seeking a medical solution.. they re seeking a freedom solution.. a taking charge of their day solution.

- Integrator
- Capacity Builder
- Marketer
- Distribution Innovator
honestly.. if we get #1 right.. we won't need to manage the rest...
it just takes people caring enough.. in spaces they have resources enough to do the thing that's keeping them up at nightModel development has been supported with knowledge, talent and funding from global insurance leaders led by Allianz-EFU. Experiments with scalable partnerships resulted in several viable go-to-market strategies attracting other corporations, schools and individuals to leverage existing, inpatient and ER-trauma healthcare delivery systems.
Naya Jeevan now offers its insurance program in Pakistan at subsidized rates under a novel national group health insurance model underwritten by Allianz-EFU, IGI Insurance, and AsiaCare.
Naya Jeevan’s success has lead to plans to take the model to India with active collaborations with corporate, academic, and non-profit institutions underway currently. Cofounder Asher Hasan is also a leader of the WEF Global Agenda Council for Social Innovation, so look him up at Davos and talk scale.
imagine needing less health.. less insurance.
imagine this being about 7bill start ups. facilitated chaordically. today. everyday.
what's P&G’s?
These three cases exemplify what HBR wrote in an article titled How GE Is Disrupting Itself in December 2009:
“If GE’s businesses are to survive and prosper in the next decade, they must become as adept at reverse innovation as they are at glocalization. Success in developing countries is a prerequisite for continued vitality in developed ones.”
Innovation and social solution success, both in the U.S. and globally, will depend on accessing, scaling and even importing the most active global innovation sources. Working with social entrepreneurs beyond contests and fellowships can leverage corporate scaling capabilities to enable measurable solutions that improve communities and economies creating markets today and in the future. Isn't that the goal?

maybe not... maybe creating markets is part of our demise..
imagine if our goal was simply to create spaces of permission and resources... in order to facilitate the 7bill makers

Is Social Media Creating a Lonely Planet? buff.ly/10EpuGa #education#parenting
how did we even get here? how/why are we perpetuating this..
the most unleashing thing ever.. and we're focusing on the bad.. perhaps mostly because we can't give up the control/prestige/proof of things?
