We’re itching to have some big conversations. We’ve got lessons to share; we know you do too. We’ve dubbed it the Summer of Taking Stock, and it’s an invitation. Join us — in any season.

Change is a long and winding road. We’re feeling Canada is at a crossroads. Yes, the federal government has committed $750 million over 10 years to social innovation. No, not any innovation will get to breakthrough change. If there is one thing we keep re-learning it’s the difference between building capacity to innovate and creating the conditions to disrupt stagnant social outcomes. After five years in Canada, we’re distilling our top lessons learned.

We’re hosting conversations to share how our hunches have played out, and re-imagine what next. Co-host or participate in an event, contribute your insights, and help us to revise our assumptions – and yours.

Get in touch with [email protected] to explore what a conversation could look like in your organization or context. Our goal is to use these conversations to write articles and create podcasts that hone in on the conditions for big change.
