In the past decade, Internet technology has developed rapidly and has become an indispensable "cool head" in the field of public welfare. However, for science and technology public welfare, many people believe that science and technology are omnipotent, and it is easy to fall into four misunderstandings. Myth 1: Technological innovation is the "absolute protagonist" of social value creation. Only when technology is placed in the most appropriate position and combined with the traditional ecology can it give full play to its value and bring the results that everyone expects. The way in which technology enters the social value system is as important, if not more important, than the creativity of the technology itself。Myth 2: Technology should be "developed separately" from scratch in response to social value needs. How to make full use of the existing products and technologies in hand, through rapid iteration, grafting to serve social value innovation, is a more effective and more in line with sustainable thinking mode. Myth 3: Technological innovation of social value should pay more attention to "scale and results". If technology and innovation do not pay attention to the transparency and feedback of the process, and do not care about every trickle, then no matter how large the rivers, lakes and seas may become sourceless water, and it is impossible to truly build a sustainable ecology. Myth 4: Social value is a long-term investment in technology and resources, which cannot be accurately measured. After the practice of hundreds of social value innovation projects in SSV over the past few years, combined with a number of methods of goodness evaluation at home and abroad, we have initially explored a model and system, which we now name SQI. SQI, which corresponds to quality, scale, and impact, respectively.

* The industry will receive more and more attention if it effectively improves its own ability and professionalism and contributes value to the society. So what is professionalism? Professionalism is made up of abilities, and I think the most important abilities are the following:The first is the ability to research and analyze. There must be full-time personnel in the professional society, and after having full-time personnel, the first ability to cultivate is the ability to research and analyze. Research is very important, and only by having a dedicated person follow up on the current state of development within the scope of the institution's mission can we identify the social issues that the institution needs to be involved in solving. The second is the ability to design and execute. Once we have identified social problems, we need to address them. Then we need to have dedicated personnel to design the project, find the path to solve the problem, and have the plan and process for project implementation, management, monitoring, evaluation and feedback. The third is the ability to integrate resources. That is, there are people to raise funds and mobilize policy resources, human resources, etc., to help the agency achieve the project goals. Fourth, the ability of operation management. Mainly financial management and human resource management skills.
