5KONFERENCE OM SYSTEM—INNOVATION The idea: Using financial mechanisms ”for good” What if we, instead of making money through investments and then donating it to employment projects for marginalized people, could invest in companies that empower & employ marginalized persons, grow these companies to increase their impact, and return the money with interest… NB! We have not invented impact investment. We are merely trying to use it in a genuinely beneficial, contextual way…

10KONFERENCE OM SYSTEM—INNOVATION The impact: Innovation model & theory of change • Play the game: ü Work with existing infrastructure (foundations, government, etc.) ü Innovate and test within “rules of the game” (venture philanthropy) • Change the rules: ü Make new products “bridging” sectors and logics (commercial impact fund) • Demonstrate it works (solid impact & returns) • Create new narrative (a “good” investment / investor) • Change the game: • New norms (“comply or explain” for companies, investors) • New framework conditions (new institutions, incentives, demands)
11KONFERENCE OM SYSTEM—INNOVATION The analysis: System innovation outline & lessons learned • Purpose => combining social and financial success • Distribution of power => including social impact potential (“deep” incentives) • Relationships => making investments more stakeholder dependent • Resources => more stakeholder-resources available Potential challenges: • Challenges build into the “model”: More power to the “Davos Man” – or improving opportunities in a systemic, Scandinavian way? • Challenges related to “success”: Complacency, mission drift or “locked” by structures and bureaucracy – vs continuous development and goal orientation • Challenges related to ”doing & talking”: How much time should we spend talking about the work that we don’t have time enough to do? Important enablers: • The right “backing”: TrygFonden has been – and is – absolute key (and outstanding!) • The benefit of being an “outsider”: No “pet” solutions but “radical pragmatism” in goal orientation • The values & “manifesto”: Clear guiding principles on a day-to-day basis
