Senior Entrepreneurs Are Driving More Social Innovation Worldwide with Dorian Mintzer and Elizabeth Isele
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Social innovation is much more than having an idea. Real innovation is recognizing the value of that idea and operationalizing it through social enterprise. Research demonstrates that, contrary to the media image of an entrepreneur as a tech-savvy youth, senior entrepreneurs (aged 50+) are creating more businesses worldwide than any other age group, and an overwhelming number are creating social enterprises, including green businesses.
That being said, we should bear in mind that while experience fuels innovation, experience is also regenerative, so the opportunity is at hand to intentionally facilitate knowledge transfer across generations and foster dynamic, innovative decision-making. Catalyzing multigenerational experience generates new insights, perspectives, and multiple paths to solutions.
In this episode, you will discover:
- how senior entrepreneurs activate and scale social innovation;
- how older adults can be more innovative than their younger counterparts;
- how shared intergenerational knowledge is a unique social and economic opportunity to drive innovation, boost workplace engagement, productivity, and profitability, and successful new business startups that can result in healthier societies, a more sustainable environment, and robust economies - and provide specific examples.
