Resumo (PT): Este trabalho analisa como as ações de uma associação portuguesa impactaram o desenvolvimento e promoção de inovações sociais. A revisão de literatura discute as origens, conceitos e processos ligados a esse tipo de inovação, incluindo critérios para avaliação do seu resultado. As análises foram subsidiadas pela realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas, observação direta e pesquisa documental. Os resultados mostram que, apesar de não ser o foco da associação, a busca por qualidade de vida dos habitantes do seu entorno fez com que a mesma possibilitasse o desenvolvimento de processos e produtos considerados como inovações sociais. Os principais obstáculos identificados foram dependência financeira das subvenções estatais e municipais, hábitos e costumes enraizados da população local e baixa participação ativa dos envolvidos na proposição de ideias inovadoras. Entretanto, a associação obteve sucesso por contar com criatividade, inspiração, engajamento e suporte de suas lideranças principais e com o apoio de seus recursos humanos.
Abstract (EN): This study aims to analyze how the actions of a nonprofit association from Portugal impacted on the development and promotion of social innovations. The literature review discusses origins, concepts and processes of this type of innovation, and includes the criteria for evaluation of its results. The analyses were based on the triangulation of semi-structured interviews, direct observation and documentary data research. Results show that, despite not being the focus of the association, actions towards the community quality of life enabled the development of processes and products regarded as social innovations. The main obstacles were financial dependence on the state and local subsidies, ingrained habits and customs of local population, and low levels of active participation of those involved in proposing innovative ideas. However, the association succeeded by relying on the creativity, inspiration, engagement and support from its main leaders, and on the alignment and support of its human resources in the implementation of the strategy.
