The Create story part 3: Learning from failure
Matt Black and Norman Pickavance go back to the decision to liquidate Create, discuss what is needed to take social enterprise forward, and whether reliving the Create experience would be worth it.

Pickavance muses on the possibilities for social enterprise that could arise from fostering genuine partnership between big business and social business, and questions the hype around social investment. And, as the Create story draws to a close, Pickavance answers the killer question: after living through the good times and the bad, would he go back and do it again?
