ABSTRACT
This chapter encourages you to reach beyond your solution. There are many ways in which social entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and extrapreneurs can influence the behavior, trends, and norms of others beyond their own endeavors. Just as Aravind Eye Care System provides technical support and consultation to hospitals in different parts of the world, Hippocampus and other education ventures make their materials publicly available and rely on other organizations to spread their work. Policymaking and advocacy are not confined to the realm of nonprofits like Ciudad Saludable and the Health Initiative. Sometimes policy initiatives can be supported by social investors, bringing together social innovators for policy change. The risk of innovating outside government is that you can end up creating a parallel system. It is very difficult to provide quality education.
