The current approaches to the organization and management are not su cient to fully describe and explain the nature of and processes underlying social innovations. Being understood as new ideas working to respond unmet social problems and needs to es- sentially improve people’s lives, they involve changing patterns of social practices, rela- tionships and interactions. They are at the same time the cause and the most important means of the social change. Thus, the main goal of this paper is to present, describe and analyze a design-led approach to social innovation. It is relatively new approach, which derives from design sciences and is understood both as a science and practice within organization and management sciences. It delivers a new scienti c framework for the description, explanation and design of social innovation processes and their results.
