Tim Draimin, Social Innovation Generation (National), says:

“For social innovation labs to be effective they need:

  • The right stewardship, which Skills Society has experience with through their Citizen Action Lab approach.

  • The space and tools that elicit fresh thinking, collaboration, creative problem solving and building solutions as a collective.

  • Access to the most promising practices emerging in the national and international community of social labs, which Ben Weinlick and Skills Society have been pro-active in developing.”
