We’re building a platform ecosystem. Platform ecosystems provide the foundation for value, meaning and engagement exchanges*.
*I’m extending the definition here.
In simple terms, they help connect people who have something with people that want something. They provide the ‘plumbing’ to enable these connections and exchanges.
Core to platfrom ecosystems is a learning engine that supports ecosystem participants in learning better, together. And it’s worth noting that ecosystem participants might not be members. They could be regulatory bodies, industry associations, advocacy groups etc. The learning the platform supports isn’t isolated to the platform. It can and should be shared.
In our case, we’re connecting people who have models and methods to make ethical change making easier than it ever has been (content creators) with people who want to learn how to make their version of ethical change making a reality (content learners).
We’re doing this because, right now, doing the ethical actions people want to is really hard. There’s a systemic ethical intent to action gap. This has resulted in widespread distrust. Widespread distrust is negatively impacting our systems of living.
In short, this is a problem worth solving. It’s important to people. It’s currently underserved.
