Background
As the world is changing with increasing pace, it becomes ever more important for the Social Innovation Hub to be able to respond to different types of development challenges with agile and flexible solutions, representing a shift away from a “business as usual” approach. What is unique about development challenges today is not so much their nature but their complexity and interconnectedness which may accelerate the speed and unpredictability of events as well as generate negative feedback loops. These complex issues are not easily addressed, and definitely not by traditional sector approaches. Innovative approaches and solutions are thus clearly called for.
