What is the best way to create real social or environmental change?   According to David Ehrlichman, impact networks are the best way for a group of people to unlock the potential of uniting alongside a shared purpose. 

In his new book, Impact Networks, David outlines how impact networks open up new avenues for bringing people and organizations together to create meaningful change for today’s greatest social challenges.  

In this episode of Value Builders, listen to David define impact networks, discuss why they are necessary and how they can be used to create true societal transformation.  He explains the power of a network mindset and offers advice for those who have an interest in creating an impact network.

David has also recently released a documentary to complement his Impact Networks book.  You can watch the documentary here.
