About Ideas-Shared

When Ivar Ingimarsson first shared his idea with Bob Thompson, neither realised they may have uncovered something capable of changing the world completely. The idea was deceptively simple: if millions of ordinary people could finally coordinate properly, the world would look completely different. Not eventually. Rapidly.

At its core was something even bigger: democratising freedom itself. Freedom of speech. Freedom of self-determination. Freedom to question and improve any aspect of life with people you know and those you’ve yet to meet. Because real freedom is not just the ability to speak. It is the ability to influence outcomes. The ability to participate meaningfully. To organise. To contribute. To build. To challenge. To improve. To find others who care. To turn shared ambition into coordinated action.

Most people technically have freedoms already. But without coordination, leverage, structure, visibility, and aligned participation, those freedoms often remain individually weak and fragmented. That realisation became the foundation of Ideas-Shared.

What Do We Use Ideas-Shared For

Ideas-Shared exists to help people, informal groups, and organisations coordinate around meaningful personal, professional, and societal issues and opportunities together generating the leverage, participation, visibility, and momentum needed to materially improve outcomes at scale.

Here’s what that looks like across every area of life, work, and society:

Ambition Area	Individuals (16+) – Issues to Fix	Individuals (16+) – Opportunities to Exploit	Informal Groups – Issues to Fix	Informal Groups – Opportunities to Exploit	Organisations – Issues to Fix	Organisations – Opportunities to Exploit
Personal	Mental health, loneliness, addiction, lack of direction, low confidence, unhealthy lifestyles	Skills development, fitness, entrepreneurship, personal growth, networking, mentoring	Lack of support, poor accountability, isolation	Peer support groups, shared learning, local action circles	Employee burnout, disengagement, poor wellbeing	Wellbeing programmes, talent development, stronger culture
Community	Isolation, lack of belonging, unsafe areas, lack of support	Local volunteering, networking, shared initiatives, local leadership	Fragmented communities, anti-social behaviour, low engagement	Community projects, regeneration, events, shared facilities	Weak local engagement, poor trust, disconnected stakeholders	Community partnerships, social value delivery, local impact
Social	Polarisation, discrimination, exclusion, toxic online culture	New friendships, support networks, collaborative movements	Division, mistrust, poor communication	Awareness campaigns, inclusive communities, coordinated action	Reputation issues, poor stakeholder trust	Stronger public engagement, advocacy, collaborative initiatives
Cultural	Loss of identity, declining arts, lack of participation	Creative collaboration, heritage projects, artistic exposure	Declining traditions, lack of representation	Festivals, cultural preservation, collaborative creativity	Weak cultural engagement, lack of diversity	Cultural investment, sponsorship, creative partnerships
Business	Lack of opportunity, unemployment, poor leadership	Startups, partnerships, mentorship, collaboration	Poor coordination, limited resources	Shared ventures, business communities, local enterprise	Inefficiency, siloed operations, poor innovation	Partnerships, procurement collaboration, innovation ecosystems

Environmental	Pollution, waste, climate anxiety	Sustainable living, local green initiatives	Neglected spaces, environmental damage	Clean-up campaigns, conservation groups, shared sustainability projects	Waste, ESG pressure, inefficient processes	Sustainability leadership, green innovation, circular economy
Economic	Cost of living pressures, lack of mobility	Skills training, local enterprise, economic participation	Economic decline, unemployment	Cooperative initiatives, local economic development	Supply chain disruption, labour shortages	Productivity gains, regional investment, workforce development

By coming together across society, in groups big and small, humanity gains the ability to challenge assumptions, fix root causes, innovate faster, and realise ambitions that would otherwise remain permanently out of reach.
