IDG is growing up - Call 2

Great conversation today. Here are some insights shared:

Core IDG Concept (unchanged):

The sustainability crisis is fundamentally a behavioral crisis, not just a technical problem
Inner development is essential for outer change - values, perspectives, relationships need to evolve
This core mission remains the same for the next 50 years

What's Changing - Organizational Structure:

Moving away from centralized startup mentality with big summits and central control
Transitioning to a distributed movement model
Central node should focus on narrative and integrity rather than operations
Suggested that leadership should be elected by the community, not controlled by founders

Survey Insights (50 responses):

Key Themes from Survey:

What brings aliveness: Human connection, local trust, small circles, clear roles, readiness for local action
What enables progress: Clear decision-making agreements, better two-way communication, cross-collaborations between communities, trust in community-led action
IDG Foundation's role: Hold integrity of IDG essence but not manage operations
