Abstract

This study uses an abduction-based approach to identify the capabilitiesharnessed by nonprofit organizations (NPOs) as they develop social innovations.The context of this study is the Australian disability sector currently undergoinga once-in-a-generation social policy reform with the implementation of theNational Disability Insurance Scheme. Data from extensive field observationand 52 interviews were collected during “researcher-in-residences” at twodisability NPOs and analyzed using thematic coding and practice–theory iterationto arrive at a “working” hypothesis. The findings reveal many capabilities usedby disability NPOs on the path to social innovation development. The complexinterplay of these capabilities forms five pivotal capabilities (i.e., transformationalempathy, place-based relationing, diversity learning, paradoxical change making,and complexity leadership) for eliciting nonprofit social innovation (NSI) withcommunity and system-level impacts.
