Office of Social Innovation

Van Jones, author of The Green Collar Economy, is going to Washington. That's great. Here's a glimpse of Van Jones with PopTech and as part of a panel in DC. Eager to see how these ideas are implemented.

Apparently, the White House is also developing a new Office of Social Innovation. Prophesized here,  speculated about here, this initiative shows up in the last chapter of Obama's budget as a Social Innovation Fund "charged with testing promising new approaches to major challenges, leveraging private and foundation capital to meet these needs, and scaling up research proven programs."

What would you like to see from the office of Social Innovation in Washington D.C.? What do you think should be tested or scaled up?
