Ideation phase of Design Thinking
Updated: Mar 7
The importance of ideation in social entrepreneurship lies in its ability to generate ideas that can create significant social and environmental impact while also being financially sustainable. Ideation helps social entrepreneurs think creatively, challenge assumptions, and identify new opportunities for positive change.
Effective ideation in social entrepreneurship requires empathy and understanding of the community's needs, as well as a deep understanding of the social and environmental challenges faced by the community. By empathizing with the community and understanding their needs, social entrepreneurs can generate relevant and meaningful ideas that can create sustainable solutions to complex problems.
We have created an online course for social entrepreneurs that provides a step-by-step guide to the ideation process. This course is integrated into our online Incubation Program and can be completed separately or as part of your incubation process.
We use Design Thinking as the primary development method in our Social Entrepreneurship Incubation program.
