World Union Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building trust, facilitating dialogue, and promoting global collaboration to inspire collective action for the progress of humanity
Meta-organisation is our fundamental approach to solving most significant challenges of our times. Complexity fights complexity. We match complexity of the challenges to the one of the organisation by creating a network of organisations, structured in abstraction layers and powered by fractal design.
#2 Systemic
Systemic thinking is our fundamental approach to problem-solving of complex issues. Our paradigm, “Everything is a system”, allows us to see processes, patterns of relationships, and structures behind all the events, actions, and strategies.
#3 High-tech
We are a new generation of nonprofits, leveraging the latest technologies to build network solutions on scale, empower better collaboration, and organize action.
Network organisation (N-ORG)
By fostering N-ORG, a network organisation framework, we leverage greater forces of collaboration on a scale to match the complexity of the environment and issues at hand.
Fractal
We use fractal organization design and principles to achieve maximum scale and efficiency of our systems, programs and projects.
Principle-led
We use DNA principles, serving as a foundation to guide network organisational structures and governance, empowering cohesion and seamless collaboration.
Data-driven
We collect and process data in a way that will enable our organizations to demonstrate the direct and long-term systemic impact and make informed decisions.
Nexus-based
Citizens, nonprofits, governments, corporations, scientists - by working across all organizational and social boundaries, we create synergies on a scale to create the highest impact.
Bottom-up approach
We develop unique organizational patterns to create local, national, and global groups of actions. We use a bottom-up approach to achieve scalability, resilience and better collaboration across all layers.
