Calling all social innovators

I've written the first post in a blog we've kicked off in Australia on Open Forum around the development of the Australian Social Innovation Exchange (ASIX).

Here's the URL - http://www.openforum.com.au/content/connecting-social-innovators

There's a link to TCR in the piece so hopefully we'll get plenty of cross-pollination from the various communities of interest. 

"Our ambition is to create a platform that makes it easier for innovators to connect, communicate and collaborate. ASIX will also challenge people to find better ways to make social innovation organisationally and financially sustainable...ASIX will develop and test practical ways in which we can scale social innovation, so that small ideas with big implications can quickly reach a critical mass to match the scale of the problems we're trying to solve. Not all social innovation either can or should scale; but making a great idea work on a larger canvass - in other regions or other sectors with similar challenges - will remain a critical challenge, especially as the ideas of social innovation infect the broader public policy process.
