MICRO-IMPROVEMENTS, MEGA IMPACT
Micro-Improvements catalyse Exponential Social Change.
Societal challenges are complex, sticky, systemic and dynamic.
They tend to grow faster than anyone’s individual ability to solve them. Solving societal challenges, thus, necessitates that diverse actors come together to imagine, co-create and solve. Micro-improvements approach makes it feasible and viable for a wide range of actors to participate in the co-creation and solving journey.
When millions of individuals initiate one micro-improvement in their own context within the given system, millions of improvements get catalyzed at a systemic level. Imagine these being done repeatedly, at an increasing frequency as the quick wins bolster confidence of the individuals..!
As millions become billions, it snowballs into an exponential change. The system becomes a self-healing, self-improving system.
“…its the hundreds, thousands, or millions of little things – micro improvements made consistently – that separate the ordinary from extraordinary. Small daily improvements are the key to staggering long-term result.”
-The Compound Effect,Darren Hardy
