How do we do it?
2811 accompanied and advised the Santo Tomás Institutions in the reformulation and alignment of their Institutional Strategic Plan, emphasizing innovation with social, ecological and economic impact as a differentiating value.
This process has gone through different stages, according to organizational needs. Initially, in 2020, the platform guided and structured the institutional strategy, and designed the social innovation model. Additionally, it defined an articulation system for development and collaborative work between the institution and the ecosystem. In this process, information was collected and systematized to develop a methodological and evaluation model that monitors the fulfillment of objectives.
How can institutional strategies, such as those of Santo Tomás, be put into practice?
In the second stage, in 2021, the previously designed model was implemented through a pilot training and certification plan aimed at professors and internal and external authorities of the institution. In turn, collaborative work spaces were co-designed in four regions of Chile, in order to establish a space for the generation of new ideas around social innovation.
Finally, in a third stage, a Diploma in Social Innovation was designed and programmed, with the objective that the students develop solutions to social and environmental problems that improve the conditions of the target populations.
