this is a very insightful diagram -> 10 Key Elements to Social Movement by @SethKahan visionaryleadership.com/creating-a-soc…

3 more charts from @SethKahan about the concept of a grand challenge visionaryleadership.com/what-is-a-gran… - this would pair well with some of those @TEDTalks ideas; and, I'd love to see social movements grow from the grassroots, building in public, and open source
