This article brings out a new perspective of social innovation. I have always written in my blog, that for Africa to be free from poverty then we need to dream a new better dream than our founding fathers did. for their vision has brought us to a state of confusion and hardship.
Social injustice is on the high gear, human rights violation is rampant, Corruption is the order of the day. That is why i urge my Fellow African people to write a different vision for Africa. it is a reason as to why i agree with Jeffrey Hollender that the new vision we need should be driven by what we want rather than what we want to avoid, what we aspire than what we seek to prevent, what is good for we than me- All these to me is the essence of social innovation
Yes I am inspired too by your emphasis on accelerating to a flourishing future state of well being for all stakeholders rather than putting on the brakes which is negative and will not galvanise hopeful change and leads to moralising isolation.
