Creating a better world requires teamwork, partnerships, and collaboration, as we need an entire army of companies to work together to build a better world within the next few decades. This means corporations must embrace the benefits of cooperating with one another.

We need to develop and disseminate an entirely new paradigm and practice of collaboration that supersedes the traditional silos that have divided governments, philanthropies and private enterprises for decades and replace it with networks of partnerships working together to create a globally prosperous society.

Consumers want a better world, not just better widgets.

Like all technology, social media is neutral but is best put to work in the service of building a better world.

Consumers desiring a better world have already achieved some successes in this regard, helping to transform several industries from the ground up.

The same technologies enabling us to work together at a distance are creating the expectation to do better at governing ourselves.
