At Standpoint we take bystanders and turn them into changemakers. Every organization, every business, every community, and every country faces important challenges. And most complex challenges don't have clear right or wrong answers. However, too many people are bystanders and don't actively engage with the problem in a meaningful way. This is bad for organizations and communities because they miss out on the creative problem solving that comes from thoughtful people taking their own stand and contributing to innovative, effective solutions. It's also bad for the bystanders themselves. They may be able to get by without taking a stand, but they won't ever get ahead.So what does it take to convert bystanders into changemakers?Clarity.
