\n\n- Being a\u00a0 \u2018solutionist\u2019 is made up of five overlapping points:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Vision<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Optimistic purpose, informed by the future we want.
Grit<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Hard-working hope that never gives up on the vision.
Flex<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Changing plans, failing fast, and adapting as many times as needed.
Fun<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Finding the positive in the problem, building teams, and enjoying the ride.
Soul<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Having a calling to make a difference in the world.<\/p>\n\n- We\u2019re just over two decades into what I call the \u2018solutions century\u2019\u2014an era in which we\u2019ll accept the benefits that industrialization has gifted us and unflinchingly face and fix the harms that progress unleashed. In doing so, we\u2019ll kickstart a solutions revolution that will propel human wellbeing, equity, and experience to a future worth living in. It\u2019s worth mentioning that this transformation will also be worth trillions of dollars.<\/li>\n
- No single country wants to pay to mitigate its emissions unless everyone else will too. So\u2026 the answer is for the economy to make the case for action within itself: \u2018Investing in green innovation will lead to new industries and job creation.\u2019<\/li>\n
- Resource use
\nResource use > positive impact = Old Economy.<\/li>\n - Karen Pflug, CSO of IKEA: \u2018If we have all the big ideas and this wonderful purpose and vision, but don\u2019t bloody well get on with it, then what\u2019s the point?\u2019<\/li>\n
- The primary factor in most tipping points is when enough people understand and accept the personal benefits from change. Not collective benefits. Not environmental benefits. But the very literal, \u2018what\u2019s in it for me?<\/li>\n
- Solutionists\u2019 worlds revolve around outcomes. This means looking, focused and unwavering, at the future, not the past.<\/li>\n
- The best way to decide what to do is to ask yourself, \u2018What would I most enjoy?\u2019 Not what would make the most difference, not what the world wants, not what you think \u2018needs\u2019 doing. Instead, what would bring you the most personal joy to work on every day.<\/li>\n
- Make it fun if you want it done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/div>\n
