History of COSI

In 2010 a small group convened in Montreal to discuss how to collaborate and build a community of scholars with an interest at the intersection of social innovation and social movements. This culminated in the official launch of COSI at the first annual COSI workshop. Those founding Steering Committee members include:

– Tina Dacin, Queen’s School of Business, Queen’s University
– Jerry Davis, Stephen M. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan
– Klaus Weber, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University

The first COSI workshop was in collaboration with local hosts, Julie Battilana and Alnoor Ebrahim, of Harvard Business School and its affiliated Social Enterprise Initiative.

The group developed a mission is to foster and advance the sharing of insights around teaching, data, theory and methods in the social innovation space, and to provide focused opportunities to mentor junior scholars in the domain. The first workshop focused on roundtable discussions on paper development, presentations from junior scholars on their ongoing work and a dialogue on how to facilitate interaction amongst the group.
