Each of us has the power to influence our environment, to demonstrate leadership at our own level, to help spread ideas and put them into practice. Here are some examples of "empowering" organizations, initiatives or manifestos from various backgrounds attempting to create grassroots movements for change. How can they inspire us?
- Social movement thinking applied to organizations such as developed by UK NHS Institute for innovation and improvement
- Community based tackling of issues, such as Transition Towns in the UK
- The Good work project: large scale effort to identify individuals and institutions that exemplify good work – work that is excellent in quality, socially responsible, and meaningful to its practitioners – and to determine how best to increase the incidence of good work in our society.
- The Mix: Management Innovation Exchange, open innovation project aimed at reinventing management for the 21st century.
- The Conscious Capitalism Institute, spreading the perspective and practices of conscious capitalism to entrepreneurs and organizations worldwide and facilitate the creation of more conscious businesses and organizational leaders.
