In one of our books, Homo Imitans: the art of social infection, viral change in action, we make the point of bridging the gap between what business organizations have traditionally seen as ‘their management world’ and what society sees as ‘social movements and social change’. There are no differences. Change is behavioural in both. Grassroots, bottom-up leadership is more powerful than top-down dictation. This is equally true inside the organization ( private, public, business, NGO…) and in streets, towns and neighbourhoods. In both worlds the formula is the same: small set of non negotiable behaviours, small numbers of highly influential individuals, informal social networks, stories and new narrative and a form of leadership which is distributed.
12 Social Movement Principles
£0.00
Viral Change™ is non-linear (like life!): problems or challenges of any size can be dealt with by a small, well-chosen set of critical, non-negotiable behaviours, which are practiced and spread by a relatively small number of highly influential people. This creates a critical (and growing) mass of followers who copy each other, shaping change faster and more effectively. The key to success is the orchestration of this.
