More Social Innovation Agenda News…

Posted on 13. Feb, 2009 in Public Innovation, Role of Government, Social Innovation

I heard that the new White House Office of Social Innovation will be led by Ian Rowe, most recently the Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Public Affairs for MTV. His department was responsible for MTV’s campaigns that build awareness for issues important to MTV’s audience. He also oversaw MTV’s new pro-social community, Think MTV, which informs, connects, and engages young people to “get heard” and take action on the domestic and global issues that matter most to them.

In addition, I have also heard that the new office will have four basic pillars that will shape and support its activities:

  1. New Media
  2. Public-Private Partnerships
  3. Service
  4. Social Investment Fund

The details behind these four pillars are still in the works, but it’s a great start and Ian looks like he has the ideal experience to move this important work forward.
