CODE OF SHARING

Societal Thinking Code of Sharing

Societal Thinking is an approach to reimagine and realise exponential social change. Social  change becomes exponential when it induces a domino effect of more and  rapid changes towards building a better society. This systemic approach  was developed through many “Do-Think-Do” cycles with change leaders  across the globe. The “Do” cycles involved co-exploring, designing and  building missions that create impact at population scale and the “Think”  cycles helped distil the learning into a set of core values, design principles  and frameworks that are open for everyone to use and build upon. Societal Thinking is a member of the Centre for Exponential Change (C4EC Foundation). 

C4EC Foundation is a not-for-profit company with a mission to create a global action hub that rekindles the imagination and enables System Orchestrators to catalyse exponential change.
