Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to Social Innovation Camp we go!

I know what you’re thinking - “he just can’t stay away can he?”. Well you’d be right! Having had such fun at the first Social Innovation Camp and since then working with pal Denise on her vision for Enabled by Design, I couldn’t resist putting in a couple of ideas in for Camp 2. So obviously I’m rather excited (if a little sheepish) to say that one of the ideas, AccessCity, has been chosen as one of the six ideas that will be worked on over the weekend of 5-7 December by myself and (hopefully!) a gang of socially minded geeky types.



Enabled by Design - a social start up!

By Dominic Campbell • May 5th, 2008 • Category: Features

Things have been a little hectic since the Social Innovation Camp, so much so I haven’t had the chance to write about the success of Enabled by Design, which actually went on to win the Camp and can now rightly call itself a “social start up”!

Since then, FutureGov has been supporting founder Denise Stephens on an amazing circuit of events, from MiniBar to the RSA’s Networks Exchange and most recently the Innovation Unit’s innovationexchange - with more to come (including the launch of the Catalyst Awards later this week)! We have been overwhelmed with the interest in the project and blown away by the generosity and support of a wide array of people and organisations willing to give up their free time and expertise to help us move things forward.
