Efforts to combat complex problems like poverty, climate change, economic development, health care and preparing for an aging population have proven resistant to the same old methods of designing and implementing public policy. Increasingly, leaders are looking for new approaches to tackling these challenges.
Social Innovation refers to new ideas that resolve existing social, cultural, economic and environmental challenges for the benefit of people and planet. A true social innovation is systems-changing – it permanently alters the perceptions, behaviours and structures that previously gave rise to these challenges. When addressing complex public policy challenges, the ideal is for groups of stakeholders and citizens/system users to co-design for social innovation.
IPAC Hamilton is pleased to invite you to join us for a panel discussion on the "Alchemy of Social Innovation" with Nabil Harfoush Associate Professor at OCAD in Strategic Foresight and Innnovation, Dr. Peter Szatmari, Professor and Head of the Division of Child Psychiatry at McMaster University, Mark Chamberlain, President and CEO of Trivaris and past chair of both the Jobs Prosperty Collaborative and Hamilton's Poverty Roundtable. Discussants will include Dr. Stephen McBride, Canada Research Chair in Public Policy and Globalization and Hamilton City Manager, Chris Murray. This promises to be a stimulating - possibly paradigm-shifting - discussion of how we take on 21st century challenges. There will be an opportunity for audience participation.

Discussants
Dr. Stephen McBride joined McMaster in 2010 as the Canada Research Chair in Globalization and Public Policy. His current research examines two major world crises: the economic crisis that began in 2008 and the ecological crisis we face through climate change. His focus surrounds the employment effects of both.
Chris Murrray has been Hamilton's City Manager for three years. He has spent considerable time moving forward on the City’s priorities and evaluating its delivery of citizen-centred services. Under his leadership, the City has experienced its lowest tax increase since amalgamation and is forging ahead with a number of City building initiatives including public transit implementation, the Pan Am games, and a renewed focus on the downtown and waterfront. Chris has a deep interest to addressing the needs of people living in Hamilton’s code red neighbourhoods.
A registered professional planner, Chris has 20 years experience implementing public works projects, including his most well known, the Red Hill Creek Valley Project. During this time Chris directed the redesign of this controversial project including the development of a series of landmark agreements with Six Nations. Chris also initiated the planning framework for Hamilton’s growth management strategy (GRIDS).
IPAC Hamilton is grateful to the City of Hamilton, City Manager's Office, for its participation as a venue sponsor
