From our perspective, the most pressing infrastructure need of social change organizations in philanthropy and the social sector is useful, affordable, and accessible technology to support the generation and propagation of what we are calling "seed patterns" in all areas of social distress or opportunity.

It all begins with a seed....

A "seed pattern" is an irresistible idea, which once grasped, seized and acted upon, can radically change for the better the way groups go about tackling a problem, meeting a challenge or seizing an opportunity. Often that idea has been sitting there for a long while, but has been missed because people have kept looking elsewhere. Their assumptions blinded them from the obvious. Once seen, the potency of the idea is immediately grasped.

And once planted in the mind, a seed pattern takes on a life of its own. Everything about the problem or opportunity is re-framed in light of the idea. Strategies fall into place. Where others are stuck, those guided by the pattern immediately see attractive options for moving forward with passion and excitement.

It is a "pattern" because it serves as a blueprint to follow. It is a "seed pattern" because, once planted and cultivated, it can keep growing and spreading through expanded programs, revised policies, and replication strategies. In this way, it has the potential to saturate and transform the entire social space. All groups hold the possibility of emerging something truly brilliant that can positively improve the world in which they engage.
