Colombia is currently facing important challenges that demand the incorporation of alternative and innovative mechanism into public policy strategies, in order to respond to them in a more efficient and sustainable way. Faced with this outlook, a need emerges to formulate and implement a national social innovation policy that incorporates new instruments and stakeholders into its development. This article explains the methodology being developed in Colombia for the design of the social innovation policy and the results attained based on collective intelligence strategies for the co-creation and appropriation of the policy by social innovation stakeholders, as well as the barriers and incentives of social innovation in the country. It concludes with a set of public policy guidelines. [Authors’ abstract].
