“The challenges of these times call for collective intelligence. We must co-create the solutions we seek…it is common sense to bring people together in conversation when you seek new solutions for the common good…when human beings are invited to work together, they will take ownership and responsibility for moving their ideas into action.” From www.berkana.org/
