" Social innovation is the process of developing and deploying effective solutions to challenging and often systemic social and environmental issues in support of social progress."
We observe how cross-sector fertilization underlies the three key mechanisms that are driving contemporary social innovation. 1) Exchange of ideas and values 2 )Shifts in roles and relationships 3) Integration of private capital with public and philanthropic support. Ultimately, the most difficult and important problems cannot be understood, let alone solved, without involving the nonprofit, public, and private sectors"
