10. Causes
 The rules of competition doesn`t work for natural goods or
social goods
 Local problems have global causes – global problems have
local causes
 The gap between rich and poor is widening; the resulting
conflicts are becoming more and more pressing
 The spheres of influence of the national political
institutions are so limited that they can hardly set
priorities, much less cause an actual change
 The influence of the international institutions on the
global development process is entirely unsatisfactory
 In relation to the high speed with which technological and
economic developments change things, the political
decision-making processes take far too long.

12. The dynamics of economic development differ strongly across
the European regions with impact on employment rates

(scale: <15.000 to >30.000) (scale: <4% to >10%)
Extensive variation in economic power Despite slow rise in employment rates in EU
between regions across Europe and within as a whole, peripheric regions suffer from
countries with lowest values in south- enormous unemployment rates and fall

Decrease of

iq consult _shaping development

17. Consequences
....if we can`t stop the circle
 not enough economic capacitiy to ensure the needs of the
population (lack of skilled workers, lack of shops, lack of
culture, lack of replacement)
 The public service loose the ability to take the responsibilty
for the existence provision (lack of schools, lack of
physicans, lack of kindergarten)
 The dependence to get support from outside grows
 There is no capacity to change the situation (lack of
competences and creativtiy)

18. How can we counteract these challenges?
 People with innovative ideas from the entire social
spectrum
 People...
 with creative thinking and who looks beyond one’s
own nose
 who assume their own responsibilities and take
their own decisions
 who set priorities and self-organise
 who set objectives and engage to achieve them

23. Definition: Social Innovation
 The goal of social innovation is to satisfy needs that aren’t
served by the market or that are not completely served by
the market either by the state
 What sets social innovations apart is that their
content, their goals and the methods used are all “social”
In this way, we define social innovations as new ideas, be
they products or services, that:
 seek to solve social problems
 create a social return (more efficiently and effectively)
 open the doors to new participation from target groups

34. Principles
New forms of learning and leadership
We create participation opportunities for all ( Co-working and co-
learning spaces etc) to foster the horizontal accountability. We are looking for new
forms of leadership
Comprehensive approaches
It is more than a high quality business advice; it is work on the framework
Scaling
We don`t only invest in new ideas but also contribute to
the spread of successful models

35. Principles: Our theorie of Change
Ownership
Solutions must be developed together with the target groups
preferably from them themselves but never without them!
Strength – strengthen!
Strategies must start with the strengths of people and
communities and not with the weaknesses!
Create partnership!
We must invest more in networks than in competition between all groups
of society and we need new forms of governance between public
institutions, private companies and the third sector!
