<div dir="ltr"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000000" size="2">I agree we need to think large scale (BIG), which requires a bigger strategy (the point I was making earlier). Bw Ndemo has a point about individual responsibility working with others to innovate...but
again Barack reminds us of the breakdown in social fabric (get rich quick...mentored by politicians and other "get-rich-quick-Kenyans). So we need "a new breed of young Kenyan innovators" with a different mentality from the norm......facilitated by an environment
that will provide the "key drivers" to spur innovation. So the question is what are these drivers? (at large scale?). Andrea mentioned some of the drivers....finance, statutory incentives, IPR etc.</font></div>

<div>Bw PS,

</div>
<div>The potential to develop innovations that bring meaning to the lives of the majority are myriad. On a larger scale, do you have any ideas on how the private sector as well as the public sector (via policy etc) can 'incentivize' innovation for social good?
I hope you don't mind my quoting you on an article we're working on about business models for BoP innovations.</div>

The problem is not having a framework. Watch Social Network, how Zuckerberg created facebook. On his own, he could not have gone far. We need to work in teams providing different capabilities and simply be honest to one another. We cannot succeed if our
consideration for capabilities is where you come from. We mus subordinate our individual interest and pride for the greater benefits that change society.<br>
