Collective Social Innovation

from The Extra Seat Hosted by Stephan Hitchins

In this episode of The Extra Seat, we explore how collective social innovation is transforming the way we address the world’s most complex challenges. No single organisation, government, or individual can solve issues like climate change, inequality, or displacement alone—but together, communities can drive meaningful change. We’ll unpack how collaboration across sectors—business, academia, policy, and civil society—creates the conditions for shared creativity and large-scale impact. Examples include the UN’s Global Compact partnerships, open-source health initiatives developed during COVID-19, and community-driven projects tackling food insecurity and circular economies. Tune in to discover how collective intelligence, empathy, and co-creation can reshape systems and unlock solutions that no one could achieve in isolation.
