This is my first blog as Chief Executive of The Create Foundation and I’m hoping that you’ll find it interesting, thought provoking or, at the very least, worthy of a re-visit at some point in the future.  I’d like to use this space to explore some of the challenges that we in the Social Enterprise world face, celebrating the successes and sharing the tough stuff.  I’m hoping that you’ll comment on my thoughts and observations and I welcome a dialogue through which we can all grow and learn.

But where to start?  There are so many issues facing social entrepreneurs today, from the legal structure we choose to incorporate our business (the CiC versus “the rest of the world” debate is one that I’m sure I’ll come back to) to the challenges of growth and replication, how we sell ourselves as credible and professional organisations and the whole issue of social investment.  I’ll be exploring these and a whole host of other issues in future posts, as well as sharing with you life at Create.
