SoundBites

The Soundbites approach is very interesting. It proposes to start small (3-4 friends) and spread from there (each friend finds other 3-4 friends, and so on). It is a “social conversation on steroids”, and how it works is that everyone can propose a social problem to be solved, and then everyone, in teams, attempts to solve the chosen problems through brainstorming and discussion, using a precise process given in advance. The process is quite interesting and well-defined (and a good source for inspiration), but what was missing compared to the School of Social Innovation was a way to reach concrete problems and target-groups for the teams to work with, and the ability to create direct results. I have yet to meet with the author to understand his concept better.
