Working ON the Ecosystem rather than IN the Ecosystem

Brian Smith Boann Social Impact

Many fund managers, funders and investors are working in the ecosystem raising and deploying social finance without the time or resources to work on anything else. So, as a result, the ecosystem can be laden with instability, uncertainty and gaps. How can we work ON the ecosystem rather than just IN the ecosystem? How can we nurture the connective tissue that runs between and among actors in the ecosystem? What are the initiatives, collaborations and collective actions that will strengthen the relationships, reciprocity and resilience within the system? Who should be responsible or even accountable for the stuff in between?
