What is the Ideas-Shared Global Hub?

The Ideas-Shared Global Hub is a worldwide participation environment bringing together individuals, informal groups and organisations around the things they want to change, improve, stop, protect, create or achieve. More than a network, it is a shared environment for ambition – where what matters to one person, group or organisation can become visible to others and create opportunities for participation, collaboration and action.

Built around Intelligent Collaboration and a common Ambition Operating System, the Global Hub enables ambitions to move beyond existing relationships, communities, organisations, sectors and borders. It creates the possibility for people who may never otherwise meet to discover one another, combine different perspectives and capabilities, and work together towards meaningful personal, professional and societal outcomes.

Why Participate in the Global Hub?

Because none of us knows everybody we might need to know, everything we might need to know, or every opportunity in which we could make a difference.

Somewhere in the world, someone may share your ambition, understand your problem, need your knowledge, value your experience or possess a capability that could transform what is possible. The Global Hub creates opportunities for those connections to happen – not through predetermined agendas or prescribed causes, but through the ambitions individuals, informal groups and organisations choose to bring into the world.

Participation also creates the opportunity to discover what matters to others. An ambition you had never considered could become something you care deeply about. A problem could need exactly what you know. An idea could introduce you to people you would never otherwise meet. The opportunity is not simply to pursue your own ambitions, but to discover where you could make a difference to somebody else’s.

How Do You Participate?

Participation begins with choice.

Explore the Global Hub and discover the ambitions, activities and people already there. Follow what interests you. Question what you disagree with. Contribute where you have something useful to offer. Join others around something that matters. Or introduce an ambition of your own and see who chooses to engage with you.

There is no requirement to follow somebody else’s agenda and no assumption that everybody should agree. Individuals, informal groups and organisations choose what matters, how they participate, what they contribute and with whom they collaborate.

Ideas-Shared provides the environment.

What happens within it is created by all of us.

Challenge Assumptions

Progress often begins by questioning what others take for granted. Challenge accepted thinking, test established ideas, introduce different perspectives and explore whether there might be a better way.

Make Others Aware

What you know, experience or see may matter to somebody else. Bring ideas, opportunities, concerns, knowledge and experiences into view so that others can discover them, respond and choose whether to become involved.

Stop What Needs Stopping

Some things should not simply be accepted. Make problems visible, question harmful or ineffective practices and find others who may be willing to help challenge, change or bring them to an end.

Co-Create New Realities

Possibility grows when different people and capabilities come together. Find others who share an ambition, combine what each can contribute and work together to create, improve or achieve something that might otherwise never happen.
