Stanford Social Innovation Review reposted this
I have been a little quiet on LinkedIn lately while taking some time to reflect and regroup as I close this chapter. Always finding ways to advocate for innovation, circularity, and equitable practices is key. It's a marathon, not a sprint, and every hand that contributes is invaluable towards this mission. Countless times I have been asked what are the “lessons learned” and “what pitfalls” can other material innovators and entrepreneurs avoid. I am not one to shy away from sharing insights and experiences to pass it forward. Together with Robert Antoshak we discussed and dissected the issues of innovation, putting pen to paper for “Lessons from a Sustainable Fashion Bankruptcy” featured in the journal, Stanford Social Innovation Review. I'm thankful for the inspiring industry friends who lend support and listen to an earful - Karla Magruder, Michael Kininmonth, Andreas Dorner, Andrew Olah, Ken Pucker, Nicole Rycroft, Edward Hertzman, David Sasso, Carol Steuri, Steven Bethell, Celeste Lilore, Priyanka Khanna, Nicole Bachmann, Jennifer Thompson, Mohsin Sajid, Peter Majeranowski, Luke Henning, Raymond Randall, Kelly A.

When an experiment produces promising evidence, researchers assume that adoption will take place organically. But that’s not always the case. Researchers found that implementing “nudges” or light-touch interventions used by government officials and policy makers to change behaviors requires deliberate thinking about the existing routines and structures of the organizations where they need to be adopted. A new paper by Stefano DellaVigna and Woojin Kim of the University of California, Berkeley, and Elizabeth Linos of the Harvard Kennedy School points out the bottlenecks in government agencies where they conducted their research. “In recent years, more governments have spent more time and money running experiments to help officials evaluate what interventions work. Alongside the creation of evidence, investigating how adoption will take place now seems just as important.” Daniela Blei reports on the team’s research in the latest issue of SSIR.

A new paper looks at an option some people who leave prison take to avoid employer discrimination: entrepreneurship. Kylie Jiwon Hwang of Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management and Damon Phillips of The Wharton School found that formerly incarcerated Black individuals are more likely to “pursue entrepreneurship due to the discrimination they face from employers” and that those who do so tend to have better outcomes. “We’re able to disentangle how much of the labor market discrimination pushes these people into entrepreneurship,” Hwang says.

Many saw promise in the Swedish clothing recycler Renewcell to fix the fashion industry’s broken take-make-waste model. But a year after opening its first scaled facility, Renewcell declared bankruptcy. Tricia Carey, Renewcell’s former CCO, and Robert Antoshak, an industry consultant, examine what caused Renewcell to fail and the ramifications for an industry struggling to address its negative impact on the environment: “Brands lined up in support; some invested directly in Renewcell. They believed in the promise of its technology and approach to vacuuming up much of the world’s used clothing to be made anew as recycled fiber. However, when Renewcell stumbled, what did most brands do? They ran for cover.”

Excellent piece in the Stanford Social Innovation Review by Brigitte Hoyer Gosselink and Kevin Barenblat on how nonprofits are leveraging AI with the help of social entrepreneurs and funders -- called "AI-Powered Nonprofits" AI-powered nonprofits (APNs) are advancing solutions to many social problems, including driving progress towards all 17 SDGs. Three goals that stand out with potential to be transformed by AI are SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). Good visual of the landscape analysis that look at 100 use cases in the tech-for-good ecosystem, and interviewed dozens of builders. Keep in mind: * Focuses on AI to advance impact and outcomes for external stakeholders. It does not focus on internal use (for individual tasks or organizational efficiency). (Big AI versus little ai) * This is just the beginning and there will be new and different use cases. * Use-cases can be applied across different issues https://lnkd.in/gbNMjFDG

“The most effective nonprofits start and end with a focus on change—and understanding this is key to understanding nonprofit leadership.” Read an excerpt from How to Lead Nonprofits by Nick Grono, CEO of The Freedom Fund, for insights into how leaders can build and sustain successful nonprofits: “The role of the leader is to harness the power of purpose and use it to shape everything the organization does—internally with its people and externally with its partners—to deliver the greatest possible change.” Read the excerpt: https://lnkd.in/eMM_HqGX
