Course content

3 sections • 19 lectures • 1h 18m total length

  • Systems change vs. Change systems1:40

    Change Systems are the systems which build fundamental building blocks that can be used by different actors to drive change on their own will, as opposed to designing components and the interplay between them with Systems Change.

  • The Societal Model6:14

    Societal Model is a representation of the Societal Thinking approach. It presents the change leaders with a frame to visualise and build their mission with a lens of exponential social change in their domain and context. The model constitutes of three layers, and when orchestrated to work in harmony creates opportunities to drive exponential change in the society.

  • Network of networks movement | Neelam Chhiber and Deepa Mirchandani4:02

    Neelam Chhiber, Co-Founder and Managing Trustee, Industree Foundation & Deepa Mirchandani, Facilitator- Collaborations, Catalyst 2030 share their experiences of building and orchestrating networks to drive exponential social change.

  • Co-creating for exponential change | Khushboo Awasthi4:31

    Khushboo Awasthi, Chief Operating Officer, ShikshaLokam shares her experience of building co-creation ecosystems to drive exponential social change in their mission towards education leadership.

  • Unleashing co-creation | Sascha Haselmayer4:53

  • Reflections1:17

    Slow down, take time to reflect and reimagine your work with an exponential change lens. Think what could be the levers to drive such change in your context.

  • Power of Shared Digital Infrastructure3:59

    Dr. Pramod Varma, CTO - EkStep Foundation & Khushboo Awasthi, COO - ShikshaLokam talk about the Power of Shared Digital Infrastructure. The video implores the listeners to take a second glance at the way we view technology – more like digital highways, modern manifestations of transformative infrastructure. What if we looked at technology as an open digital highway that let every actor in the society, the samaaj (society), sarkaar (state) and bazaar (market), to participate in social innovation?

Description

Social problems are large, complex and tend to grow much faster than our individual ability to solve them. Societal Thinking provides a set of values and design principles to reimagine and redesign the core interactions between key actors of society in a way that induces exponential change.


“ Exponential change ~ when every change induces more and rapid changes”


Societal Thinking enables:

  • Radical Inclusion: by reimagining how the key actors of the society (like communities, markets, government, civil society) interact with each other

  • Enhanced Ability to solve: by creating assets & infrastructure that are open & accessible by all

  • Diverse Solutions: by designing spaces that allow everyone to solve in the way that works best for them


Societal Thinking has manifested in a variety of ways to induce exponential change:

  • as blueprints that help governments reimagine the development narrative

  • as reusable building blocks (like legos) that can be used in many different combinations to accelerate the rate of building a solution

  • as Societal Platforms, audacious endeavours (e.g. quality healthcare for all) that accelerates social change at population scale by building open technology, inspiring co-creation and orchestrating ecosystems.


Just as a thousand mice don’t make an elephant, replicating small solutions won’t solve a large problem at scale. For things to work at scale, they need to be designed such that problems get solved – not because of one idea or one ideator, but because it’s easy for diverse actors to come together to solve.

Societal Thinking can help design such systems.
