It's interesting to look back and reflect on themes that emerge.  I'd suggest that a number of these posts are typical of the kind of thing I write – I tend to raise issues and ask questions, rather than say "this is definitely what I think" – because most of the time I don't know definitely what I think.  What I do think is that it's in uncertainty that opportunities to change things emerge.   I also think that's why I get plenty of comments – lots of you have similar questions too.  

I still have a keen interest in what tends to be called "social enterprise", but I see in my writing that I've written more about social business as a whole (any business that takes creating change seriously) – and increasingly about social change in general.  I've become clearer that my interest lies in social change – and finding entrepreneurial ways to deliver that change – rather than in any particular legal structure or ownership model.
