About the Book

We're at a critical juncture in our global economy. Gone are the siloed structures of the past where the public and private sectors functioned separately, rarely cross-pollinating to share ideas and models for addressing big problems and creating value. And for good reason. In The Solution Revolution, Deloitte's William Eggers and Paul Macmillan identify an accelerating shift toward a new operating paradigm, in which entrepreneurship and innovation range freely across all of the sectors that shape our lives as citizens and consumers. This shift offers a powerful spring of hope for public innovation in an era of financial constraints.

About the Author :
William D. Eggers is the Global Research Director for Deloitte's Public Sector practice, columnist, and author or coauthor of seven books, including the Washington Post bestseller If We Can Put a Man on the Moon. Paul Macmillan is the Global Industry Leader for the Public Sector practice for Deloitte. He is a founder of the Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC)Deloitte Public Sector Leadership Awards, and is also a member of the board of directors of Bridgepoint Active Healthcare in Toronto.

Review :
"...pulsating with fresh ideas about civic and business and philanthropic engagement...the breadth of examples is impressive and global." -- The Wall Street Journal "Eggers and Macmillan's work succeeds...as a guide to new opportunities to profit from 'socially impactful' activities once thought unprofitable." -- Financial Times "Another good read, The Solution Revolution explores how business, government, philanthropy and social enterprise are converging to solve big problems and create public value...the innovations Eggers and Macmillan outline, and the possibilities they imagine, are fascinating and tantalizing." -- The Washington Post "The Solution Revolution is an excellent primer for anyone interested in joining the ranks of the social sector...Very few authors and researchers have provided such a comprehensive view of the social sector..." -- Policy Perspectives (policy-perspectives.org) "This book looks at how business, government, and social enterprises are teaming up to solve society's toughest problems. "It's the best book out there on mobilising communities to solve wicked problems," says Peter Williams from audit and consulting firm Deloitte." -- Sydney Morning Herald, Summer Reading List, Tech Knowledge "... a fascinating preview of our economic future, a system where choice, sustainability, and more adaptive ecosystems offer all of us the ability to collaborate towards better solutions." -- USA Book News "... a pick for social issues and business collections alike. Business collections will find this a specific, inspirational guide!" -- Midwest Book Review "For a book devoted to seemingly intractable problems, it has a very hopeful message." -- BizEd magazine "A thought-provoking book on how changes have given rise to new issues and challenges and how important it is for society to think beyond self." -- The Star "an energetic study" and saying, "These stories along with substantive advice for individuals and governments alike present a persuasive argument that the future of global change rests squarely in the hands of ordinary citizens." -- Publishers Weekly "... worth reading because it is vital to comprehend how, to an astonishing extent, this convergence is already changing the world." -- Vancouver Sun "If you're looking for an optimistic read, The Solution Revolution: How Business, Government, and Social Enterprises Are Teaming Up to Solve Society's Toughest Problems is a perfect choice...This is high-energy, high-level thinking being put into on-the-ground practice to see what comes of it." -- Associations Now (ASAE: American Society of Association Executives) "The Solution Revolution shows how entrepreneurs all over the world are stepping forward to innovate for the public good." -- T+D magazine (American Society for Training & Development) "The Solution Revolution provides a useful and thought-provoking method map, examples, and inspiration for this journey." -- Research-Technology Management ADVANCE PRAISE for The Solution Revolution: Walter Isaacson, President and CEO, Aspen Institute; author, Steve Jobs-- "Citizens and businesses are creating a 'solution economy' that blends market forces and altruism to get good things done ... Watch out. This book may inspire you to join the revolution!" Peter H. Diamandis, Chairman and CEO, XPRIZE Foundation; Chairman, Singularity University; coauthor, Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think-- "Today the world's biggest problems are the world's biggest market opportunities. Want to become a billionaire? Solve a billion-person problem. The Solution Revolution shows you how." Jennifer Pahlka, Deputy US CTO; founder and Executive Director, Code for America-- "The Solution Revolution explores how the intersections of the sectors can unlock the potential we'll need to face the realities of the twenty-first century." John Mackey, co-CEO and cofounder, Whole Foods Market; coauthor, Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business-- "The Solution Revolution is a wise reminder that global problems shouldn't be left to government alone to solve ... Read this book and join today's 'solution economy.'" The Right Honourable Paul Martin, former Prime Minister of Canada-- "With a global population approaching nine billion and governments so indebted that their only answer is to beggar succeeding generations, the current path is clearly unsustainable. Eggers and Macmillan seek a better way." Geoff Mulgan, CEO, Nesta; author, The Locust and the Bee: Predators and Creators in Capitalism's Future-- "Eggers and Macmillan vividly describe creative solutions that break the boundaries between the public and private sectors and civil society." Rachel Botsman, coauthor, What's Mine Is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption-- "Read this book if you want to understand how the 'solution revolution' will create a trillion-dollar market for social good by unlocking the value of underutilized resources in ways and on a scale never possible before."
