Social enterprise is famous for innovation. Indeed innovation is fundamental to our community. But we don’t need to invent new ways of dealing with issues such as succession, transition, Board or financial issues when we can learn from others’ experiences. The Wisdom Bank will publish wisdom from experienced social entrepreneurs.

We’ll all face the challenges of succession planning, leadership, dealing with finances and looking after our wellbeing. Insight is our bank of wisdom for social entrepreneurs by social entrepreneurs - a website containing a wealth of experience as people share how they navigate social entrepreneurship.

Share your insights

We want to hear your wisdom on succession, transition, boards, dealing with financial issues or anything you feel other social entrepreneurs could learn from.

“We have to really… be the wind within their wings. Frankly, we need successors more than successors need us. It’s really as simple as that… the day that is understood, succession is very easy.”
