The Stanford Graduate School of Business defines social innovation as “a novel solution to a social problem that is more effective, efficient, sustainable, or just than present solutions and for which the value created accrues primarily to society as a whole rather than private individuals.” In order to drive this social innovation, Stanford goes on to say, “social innovation requires an exchange of ideas and values, shifts in roles and responsibilities and the integration of private capital with public and philanthropic support.”
Mother May I was created by Adjacent to One to bring this concept to life for mothers who are passionate about an idea, a project, or a strategy to solve a social problem. Our goal is to provide them with the design and technology tools to help drive and amplify that passion to move their ideas forward.
Mother May I was built to allow our participating moms -- Kathleen, Katie and Ameeta -- to identify and engage with others who are equally passionate about what they do, and provide greater exposure for their needs.
This means for this experiment to be successful, we want your participation. Follow along as the moms work toward their milestones, comment on their posts, share their stories with your family, friends and colleagues on social media, lend your expertise and experiences, or even donate your time and expertise.
Join in on the conversation now.
- What can you do to help Ameeta and Science Matters bring STEM (Science Technology Engineering + Mathematics) education back into our elementary schools?
- How can you help Kathleen and Villages Innovate set up a computer club with students in Africa?
- What ideas do you have for helping Katie and Digital Commuter Strategy improve our daily commute?
