Find your exponential

The world is grappling with problems that are large, complex and mutate faster than any individual or organisation can solve them. Now is the time to reimagine how to create change at scale, with speed and sustainably. Now is the time to address exponential problems with exponential change – change that inspires more and rapid changes.

What is Societal Thinking?

Societal Thinking is a way to reimagine and realise positive exponential change.

CORE VALUES

Core Values

Core Values help us ensure the change we create is positive and restores agency, nurtures dignity and enables choice for all participants (individuals and institutions) of society.

SOCIETAL MODEL

Societal Model

A framework to reimagine and design for change at societal scale, with speed and sustainably. It has 3 key components: Societal Networks, Co-creation Ecosystems and Open Infrastructure.

SOCIETAL THINKING

Enable Exponential Change
  • Agency
  • Adundance
  • Diversity
  • Networks
  • Interactions

Exponential mindset

On an exponential change journey, we need to build an exponential mindset that asks critical questions such as “If I alone cannot solve the challenge for everyone, how can I create conditions for many to solve together?”
