– “Security must be sought through change”—build a future that is “more prosperous, more just, more secure”
Wave 4 Government ConclusionsIntroduction < 20 years >
Wave 4
– Wave 1: compliance—government regulates
– Wave 2: corporate citizenship—government marginalised
– Wave 3: focus on MNCs; CC goes global; stalled 9/11/2001—government obsessed by ‘security’
– Wave 4: mainstreaming, creative destruction, new sources of transformative innovation, governments catalyse and incentivise
Wave 4 Government ConclusionsIntroduction < 20 years >
Social enterprise
– Social entrepreneurship ‘on a roll’
– Potential for breakthrough solutions ‘considerable’
– Money ‘main headache’
– Appetite to partner with business
– Role for ‘social intrapreneurs’
– For ‘real system change,’ focus on government and public policy
