Social Innovation on Wednesday, Jan 27 at the Centre for International

with pressing problems in society.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Annual Lecture on Social Innovation highlights
world-class thinkers with new ideas on how to achieve significant, durable
social change for pressing and increasingly complex social problems. In
this year's lecture, Kahane will draw on his extensive experience with
designing and leading complex multi-stakeholder change processes to offer
practical guidance for effectively balancing power and love, two usually
polarized drives. <o:p></o:p></p>
