Greater than the Sum Scaffolding the Future

Ways to support this work

A book for networks needs to find its readers through networks — which means I need you to carry it further than I can send it on my own. If you pass it along, it will ripple outward: into the networks you're part of, and from there into others it might never otherwise reach. Sharing it is some of the most significant support you can offer — whether you want to support our work and our needs, strengthen Impact Networks and collective approaches to systems change, or help someone you know who might find something here for their own work.

Tell someone about it

Whether or not you're in a position to contribute financially, you can help spread the word. Share it on social media, or pass it along to collaborators, colleagues, and networks you're part of — especially people who lead, steward, fund, facilitate, or evaluate Impact Networks and cross-sector collaborations.

Below are a few easy ways to share it.

Subject: A new book I think you'll want to know about

Hi [[ NAME ]], I wanted to make sure you'd heard about a new book: Scaffolding the Future: Social System Mapping, by Christine Capra. I thought of you because of your interest in Impact Networks, cross-sector collaboration, and shifting systems together [[ OR INSERT THEIR WORK OR INTEREST HERE ]]. The book introduces Social System Mapping, a distinctive approach to mapping that can help Impact Networks inspire, catalyze, and reflect a growing capacity for systems change. Christine developed the methodology, drawing on decades of experience working with networks, and shares what she's learned in the book. It seemed worth knowing about, even just to have tucked away in the back of your mind for when it might fit the work you're doing. It's being published one chapter at a time, offered as a gift, and you can sign up to read along here: https://greaterthanthesum.com/scaffolding-the-future/
