About The Methods
These methods have been used to drive social innovation, generate new services, experiences and products that are human-centric. They’ve been developed through 14 years of innovation and applied with numerous for-purpose organisations.
We feel fortunate to help many organisations use creativity and innovation to take on society’s most important problems. But we can’t do it alone. We want to encourage others who work on social challenges to embrace creativity.
Systemic impact requires all of us who work on social challenges to value and practice creativity for innovation.
While you can use the methods on any creative or social problem, we’ve focussed on fundraising to show how you can apply the methods. Much of the for-purpose sector is united by the constant pressure to raise funds. Revenue from fundraising is both the great enabler and inhibitor for social impact. For every significant project launched by fundraising, there are many others that never see the light of day. It’s a struggle to keep up with our funding ambitions when we’re faced with increasing competition, changing technology, and consumer behaviour.
This is a classic situation where the old approaches no longer do the job, we need creative thinking.
Whether you’re in fundraising, or have another challenge, we hope you find the inspiration to use these methods for social impact.
