If everything is connected, how do you work with an ecosystem at the scale of change you wish to create? What’s a focal offering and how can we learn about creating one from Bill’s story of the humble pocket calculator? In this third episode in The Patterning of Hope series, Yasu and Bill explore these questions as well as the importance of shifting from focussing on problems to what matters within an ecosystem.
