Contextual Quote
George Por:
"Very different logic from how the bottom-up, grassroots networks organize themselves. It’s not better or worse than the latter ones, just addressing different audiences. If you’re a forward-thinking policy maker, go to and engage with GSN.
If you’re a movement catalyst, organizational change maker, or connector of people networks, and want to increase your effectiveness by connecting with the tip of the evolutionary wave, then go to and immerse yourself with the Reinventing Organizations wiki and the community surrounding it."

George Por:
"The 4 characteristics of a GSN are:
- addresses a global problem;
- engages diverse stakeholders;
- exploits the digital revolution; and
- self-organizes and self-governs.
GSN’s core ideas is that “enabled by the digital revolution, multi-stakeholder, self-governing networks are transforming how we solve global problems.The 10 types of networks pictured above are linked with issue-based hubs that span climate and planet stewardship, health and human security, employment and prosperity, and cities. On each hub expert curators invite nominations of successful GSNs to help grow a comprehensive network of GSN networks.
GSN claims to be the definitive resource of expert insights, cases and field tools for global problem solvers. Its funders are large institutions and to get listed you have to be proven successful at a global scale."
