In and Out of Sync is about how private and third sector organisations innovate to respond to social needs.
It seeks to explain why certain social innovations grow and why others don’t. It tracks many of those reasons back to the environment in which the innovation exists – how much demand there is for it.
To improve the odds of success, we need to offer specialist sources of support – including flexible financing that can accommodate risk-taking when necessary. It's also important that we build a stronger knowledge and experience base in the field of social innovation.
