PROTOTYPINGIn prototyping we will run a small version of FbyF in order to test our hunches and develop interactions that really do begin to change family behaviors. We’ll recruit families, run family to family experiences, train practitioners and use what we learn to improve our ideas. This page sets out our concept prior to prototyping.
In each city, a core of thriving families join, volunteer and work for FbyF
Thriving families in the local teams provide: - inspiration and know-how- learning experiences & events- person-to-person support.
Families outside the local team are attracted to the five offers:- Join, volunteer or work for FbyF- Opportunies to try new things- Help with new life stages- Help with money stuff, home & food- Help with kids behaviour
The city teams are recruited and supported to help other families by the state hub
The state hub shapes services provided to families by NGO’s and government by providing tools and training.
Local teams support the state hub with training local services.

The Family by Family concept
Our problem? Too many families-‐in-‐crisis, interfacing with state systems, and too few families thriving
Our process? A design + policy process which works with people to reset outcomes, co-‐design ideas, prototype solu7ons, and build the case for scale.
Our outcomes? Prevent 2-‐3 children from going into crisis care. Allowing more money to go into preven7on program
At the School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE), our vision is to see a world powered by passionate people, crea7ng real and tangible change throughout society and in their communi7es.
THE ACTION LEARNING CYCLE
SVA believes that major bomlenecks currently exist in the social sector which are preven7ng the achievement of effec7ve social change. We also believe that liqing educa7on and employment par7cipa7on levels is the most effec7ve founda7on for achieving sustainable, broad based and breakthrough change in disadvantaged communi7es.

Australian Senate Report – November 2011 Inves7ng for Good: the development of a capital market for the not-‐for-‐profit sector in Australia
• “The central recommenda7on of this report is that a Social Finance Taskforce should be established…similar to that which has operated successfully in the United Kingdom and Canada…”
• “using tax incen*ves to encourage investment” in social enterprise • “exis7ng government programs suppor*ng small businesses…could
be extended to social enterprises” • “development of a measurement framework…[that is] flexible and
allow for a number of measurement methodologies. It should consider the sensi7vi7es surrounding beneficiaries and the core social objec7ve of organisa7ons”

Nascent Observa7ons • Enablers make big difference in adop7on and scaling
– Oz: tri-‐sector SI Summits -‐> policy, movement – Oz: na7onal academic & educa7onal partnerships -‐> policy, catalyst – Oz: private sector engagement -‐> high
• Social innova7on & social finance oqen used interchangeably; social finance more prominent than social innova7on per se
• Social Innova7on agenda is non-‐par7san • Drivers of change:
– Change catalyzed more by stuckness, less by vision of future – Large scale exemplar shiqs conversa7on…zero to sixty…-‐> GoodStart – Thought leadership
• Culture strengths: – Risk-‐taking, rapid prototyping (TACSI w/ F-‐by-‐F, social finance) – Boundary spanning organiza7ons, events, skill sets – Shared language – Public sector innova7on agenda
• Hurdle to tackle: Connec7vity with mainstream innova7on
