Geoff Mulgan has had such an astonishing career in setting up think tanks like Demos, running Tony Blair’s strategy unit, transforming the Young Foundation, leading NESTA and he is now professor of Collective Intelligence at UCL, London. Here he discusses his vast experience of trying to institutionalize systemic change without it stifling imagination, how he has put social innovation on the map, how he has helped develop ways to harness our collective intelligences to that solutions we develop are co-created and therefore really stick.
