Blue Planet Partners is focused on developing the field of Social Innovation Acceleration (SIA).
This work emerges from a simple observation:
The complexity of the world’s problems is outpacing our capacity to solve them.
Over the last several decades:
By many estimates, 95–98% of social innovations fail or underperform.
This is not primarily a funding or idea problem.
It is a capability gap.
Social Innovation Accelerators (SIAs) are:
Experienced, cross-sector practitioners who help social innovations navigate complexity and move through critical barriers.
They are not founders.
They are not operators.
They are guides within complex systems.
We are not scaling a program.
We are:
Most social innovations operate in:
These conditions require:
This is a distinct craft.
