Every Social Enterprise targets a social problem for which they attempt to deliver positive impact.
Every social problem has a unique ecosystem of stakeholders, competitive dynamics and related key factors.
A critical task for every social entrepreneur is to map its unique ecosystem as part of the initial research and preparation to launch their enterprise.
TIP: Consider this schematic as a big picture strategic overview of the Social Entrepreneurial Ecosystem.
Use this as a guide to revise and upgrade your ecosystem map as you develop your social enterprise.
TIP: I believe you will find it helpful to complement this overview with an ecosystem map that is customized to the specific social problem you are targeting.
Figure 5, in Module 3 of the Practitioner Guide, provides a template of a social ecosystem map you can customize to the social problem you are targeting.
This Module also provides additional material for mapping your ecosystem.
