- Good Innovation Lab Tools (GILT) research led to the creation of new revenue models and collaborative approaches for Third Sector organisations. Prime with De La Court researched to uncover common design principles needed for innovation in revenue generation for the Third Sector. _x000D_

1 Can the charity sector appropriate and make relevant approaches from corporate and tech growth support models? _x000D_
2 Could a set of co-designed experiments be distilled to develop approaches that are applicable and relevant to a range of charities. And could collaboration lead to new business models and types. _x000D_
_x000D_
The authors led a review of practices of financial modelling and governance in the Third Sector and prototyped new tools to support the thinking and activities needed to develop alternative revenues. Built on a notion that it was possible to repurpose capitalist tools that had been developed to commercialise Intellectual Property and innovation more broadly, GILT reviewed ways to transition charities in to new revenue and business models without replicating social enterprises or corporate models. The authors research synthesised practice and learning to uncover insights that could be applied more broadly across the Third Sector and questioned existing notions of appropriate business models in the Sector. Reflecting on Fraser’s concept of “progressive neoliberalism” (2018) GILT considered the potential that market-based structures of profit-oriented economy had for the Third Sector, and whether reappropriating them could lead to new forms of stable revenue. _x000D_

The tools and reports have been published on Goldsmiths website as well as on Good Innovation site and were presented to the Third Sector in a range of seminars and articles. They principles and tools have been adopted by several charities, including Guide Dogs For The Blind, Age UK and National Ugly Mugs, leading to new revenue streams and organisation types.
