"Mindsets" is a blog series featuring short posts that showcase interesting people, research, and innovation associated with the E-lab.
The name "Mindsets" reflects a key concept: entrepreneurship should be understood not just as a specific activity, but as a mindset. These mindsets shape how we perceive the world and approach challenges.
“Mindsets” aim to capture the energy and depth of the thrilling environment that E-lab is creating—one that brings together individuals from various fields and fosters collaboration between academia and industry.

Measuring Social Impact: Noise Solution’s Unique Approach to Transformative Change
Social enterprises face unique challenges when it comes to measuring impact. Distinct from traditional business models, these organisations are driven by the aim to create meaningful and sustainable difference in the lives of their beneficiaries. These kinds of impact can be far more intangible than that which constitutes usual business metrics. As a consequence, innovative approaches to measure and understand impact are often required. Noise Solution, a music mentoring programme for at-risk youth, provides just such an example of this. Simon Glenister, the founder of Noise Solution and panellist from the our Catalysts for Change event, shares his insights of their approach.
