social innovation
Globally, innovation is recognised as a key pathway to productivity, sustainability and effectiveness in both the public and private sectors. In order for Australia to remain internationally competitive, all areas of the economy need to be actively involved in innovation.
An innovator produces and introduces something new to the market, something of value. It is not about repeating someone’s work better; it is about creating something new and was not there before.
Problems arise on a daily basis; innovators identify the issues and come up with creative solutions to solve them. Innovation adds value to society and drives the global community forward. The world needs people who think outside the box and are not afraid to be different and take chances.
You just came up with the perfect idea. You turn it over in your head for weeks, talk to your friends, do a little research, and decide to go for it. You seek counsel from the all-knowing Google. ‘How to start a business’ and come across a plethora of resources; everything from books to online courses promising to be the only thing you’re missing on your quest.

In this interview Geoff talks about social impact, his impact investment fund and why impact investment is as much about strong financial returns as it is impact outcomes.
