Let’s enumerate what are those 3 E’s and explore each one of them.
Exploration
This is the stage wherein you are still finding out or deciding about a lot of things about your plan for a Social Enterprise. It’s basically the research part. Doing market research to find out what kind of products and services can you offer to solve social problems to help a community and make an impact and change to that community.
This also involves talking to experts who have been working on that cause and talking to members of the community. Remember that you are not the only one who is championing this cause, so you need to think of ways outside the box to deliver the impact that you wanted.
Experimentation
Is the stage wherein you start trying a few things to find out if they are working or not. This is called Beta Testing. One way to proceed to the experimentation stage is through your exploration stage, wherein you create a survey to gather on-the-ground information directly from the people that you are trying to serve.
From that data, come up with a few ideas that you think can help that community and see how they affect the community or fix the problem that you are trying to solve, as well as the impact that it created.
Execution
Now that you were able to come up with a solid solution to create an impact and help the community, now is the time to put them all together and create the actual service, program, or product.
