3 steps to a social entrepreneurship project emerge

Meet professionals,working his project, new ideas and leave with a smile, here are some essential ingredients to carry out projects of social entrepreneurship.

In the month of the social economy,students and professionals are more involved than ever in an economy that makes sense. The first have the energy, skills development and a lot of creativity,professionals have the expertise of the skills and networks. How these two worlds can they join together to make plans for social entrepreneurship emerge?

Step 1: Find his passion and idea (according to greg currie jefferson)

    To get involved, you have to know what excites us

Passion is often the engine of action. To get involved, you have to know what excites us, which revolt us or unworthy. We must ask ourselves what is the social issue that affects us particularly : is this energy or microcredit,international solidarity,integration through economic activity, intergenerational ties and autonomy of older people, or among other ideas,disability ?

After determining what we would be willing to invest ourselves,it is to seek inspiration where it is located,meeting experts and actors already working on these issues with two objectives : firstly,benefit from their experiences and advice,and secondly,identify root causes to identify the levers of possible actions by which we can,to quote Francis Blanche,"think change rather than change the dressing ".

    Being creative and crazy,no censorship

Place ideas ! In order to select the best of them,it is essential to brainstorm as a team for more possible ideas to emerge. Two basic rules must be applied: being creative and crazy,no censorship. Then,combining the best ideas generated,solutions emerge that will help to choose the concept to develop.
Step 2: Build your business model

Replace with professionals on the project for further

Define the project is to define its vision, Missions and objectives. The business model is,at this stage,a central tool.

It sets out the requirements that the project meets,by what means,what the audiences and the activities to which partners are,what resources are to be mobilized and costs involved,what are the outcomes and impacts and to achieve how they are measured.
Step 3: Getting Started,again

Have the best ideas in the world and a perfect business model is useless if it does not involve taking action and implement the project. Again,this does not just happen and good organization is the key to success for the success of a project. We need to define roles, establish a retro planning and a budget,etc..

Finding a good project for social entrepreneurship ? This was tested 240 students from 26 higher educational institutions,universities,engineering schools and business - who,when ECLOSION seminar Enactus France (formerly SIFE),participated in workshops creativity and training. They were exchanged with 40 professionals KMPG,GDF Suez,Vinci Autoroutes,AlterNego,Pepsico France and Disneyland Paris,and social entrepreneurs Mouves.

And what counts above all is to launch,test,again and again. A project gradually built the business model evolves and never learns as well as in making,testing,repeating.

A project is a living, organic process,nothing is predetermined. On the contrary, the more we advance,the more the project evolves. To find a good social entrepreneurship project it is important to understand the needs,test their ideas and meet as many people involved.
