Societal Thinking

Societal Thinking is an approach to 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. At the heart of Societal Thinking is the belief that large social problems cannot be solved by replicating a solution, but by distributing the ability to solve. Change Leaders use Societal Thinking to find new ways to solve social problems by bringing together diverse actors, restoring their agency and providing them with accessible infrastructure (including technology) that enables them to solve their problems in their own context.
