Over the next 3 years the Innovation Exchange will establish and support Innovation Networks - large social networks focused on tackling specific social problems.

Members of Innovation Networks will include innovators from the third sector, public service commissioners and managers, and social investors.

Now is your chance to influence the focus of each these networks. Vote in the poll at the bottom of this page for the issue that you think should form the focus for these networks.

How will Innovation Networks work?

Each Innovation Network will have a

• 'sponsor' - a panel of social investors and commissioners of public services
• clear articulation of the networks goals, the outcomes it is trying to improve
  
• leader who is trained to facilitate the network
• selection of tools (both online and offline) that enable members to build relationships and develop knowledge
• diverse membership from the third sector, public services and the social investment community, and
• very clear focus and concrete problem statement.

What makes a good focus for an Innovation Network?

A good focus demonstrates an

1. identifiable market opportunity for third sector innovators
2. need for innovation driven by poor outcomes, high costs and/or low levels of public satisfaction, and
   
3. clear way of measuring the outcomes of the innovation
4. clear link to central government policy priorities.
