Transformation for a Post-Pandemic World: Exploring Social Innovations in Six Domains

Abstract

The world is suffering from a myriad of challenges. These are not only a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic but also the evidence of a series of structural problems that existing socio-economic structures have. Inspired by real examples of social innovations and based on a selective literature review, this article debates six domains of opportunities for social innovation. These domains refer to well-being, finance and banking, work, technology, learning and education, and leadership and governance. The article ends with crucial implications for implementing change and a sustainable transition.
