Social innovation, the new challenge

Social innovation, some remarks on the Dutch perspective (1)

Prof. dr. Henk Volberda, Rotterdam School of Management:

The Netherlands are falling in the Global Competitiveness index

Research shows that technological innovation explains 25% of innovation success; social innovation explains 75% of the success

We have to increase innovative power through dynamic management, flexible organisations and development of skills and competences

Social innovation, some remarks on the Dutch perspective (2)

Advice OESO (Febr. 2008): to sustain economic growth,the Netherlands will have to: Raise pension-age over 65 years Work more hours a week Discourage working in part-time jobsBut, Dutch employees: Don’t like to work beyond the age of 65 years Don’t like to work more hours a week Like their part-time jobs and work-life balance

Social innovation, some remarks on the Dutch perspective (3)

The traditional labour relations:

don’t fit the knowledge society on the one hand and

don’t mobilize the new, lower educated and young groups on the labour market

Social innovation, the Dutch challenge is:

to sustain economic growth and our level of welfare, the Dutch won’t work harder or make longer hours, but will have to work ‘smarter’.

to develop new adequate labour relations

•to increase innovation and productivity. Dutch organisations will have to optimize the use of skills, competences and motivation of their employees and to embed technological innovation in social innovation
