5th SIX Summer School, November 26-28, Adelaide Australia - What should we make of a social innovation summer school where every single participant is either a government-funded manager or researcher, or a private consultant? And where there are no participants who are users of services or community-based innovators?

Innovation Kills the Status Quo

"Innovation comes from the edges, so it comes as no surprise that innovators are found in the margins. They are the misfits among us, the ones who see and do things differently. They challenge the status quo and the power sources that prop that up, so are generally marginalized as a reflexive and defensive action. Think about what you’re really asking for when you say you want innovation in your space. Because, when you do, you’re asking for the outliers, the disruptors and the rebels to have their way.
