To begin with, a Social Innovator is someone who can introduce something new, or make changes to anything that is already established, within a given society. Therefore i believe that to be a Social Innovator it is important to recognise several factors
Firstly it is imperative that you know and understand, personally, the struggles or hardships of the people within a given society if you are going to assist in 'changing' or improving the situation. I feel this is important because, just because something may work in my home city, it won't necessarily work in Bali, for example.
By spending time in these situations you will begin to understand, more deeply, the society and have a greater understanding of what can be done at particular times to help them improve there situations.
Following the 'Innovator' status I believe its important that the biggest idea is not always the best, sometime simpler is the best solution. Just take a look at the paper clip, simple idea, big changes to the developed world?
