Abstract
This chapter reports on collaborative learning and innovation in the social sector in the Netherlands. It is aimed at the design of a methodology to better combat social exclusion and poverty. The research comprises a literature study on innovation and culture in the private sector. The transformation to the public sector leads to the concept of social entrepreneurship (Thompson, Alvy, & Lees, 2000; Thompson, 2002). The research is supported by an experiment in the area of social services for the poor in the Netherlands. This experiment is part of a longitudinal study on social entrepreneurship and culture change in the social services sector.
