The OnTrackWorld Promise

For Individuals

Introduction

Humanity has reached a moment where every decision matters. Our economies, infrastructure, technologies, and institutions have given us extraordinary progress, but they have also created challenges that no nation or organization can solve alone. The future depends on our ability to work together in ways that allow people, communities, economies, and the natural world to flourish.

Every generation is asked one defining question: What kind of world will we leave behind?

If your heartfelt dream is a sustainable, peaceful, and prosperous world, we invite you to contribute your personal power to a global movement dedicated to this magnificent dream by making the OnTrackWorld Promise.

The Promise

We promise that by December 31, 2030, collaboration and coordination for the sustainable well-being of all will be the fundamental operating principle of civilization, enshrined in every nation's constitution.

Your Part

A promise this big needs two kinds of signers: the enterprises and governments that write this principle into their charters, plans, and laws, and the people who move them to do so. This page is for the people.

When you make this Promise as an individual, you commit to what is already within your reach, whatever your job, your politics, or your circumstances. You are not asked to change jobs or leave your party. You are invited to stand for the following principles and practice them where you live and work.

Principles for Collaboration

The Promise is embodied in these principles, which guide our day-to-day interactions with our families, co-workers, and communities. Please read them in full. Each one is part of what you are standing for.

Collaborate and Coordinate

Many believe that including more people slows progress. The opposite is true. Incorporating a wider spectrum of perspectives produces smarter solutions that win broad adoption and get implemented. We practice collaboration and coordination in balance with helpful competition.

Assume Responsibility

We are responsible for the quality of our relationships. In every conversation, we advance mutual learning and recognize others' strengths and perspectives.

Be Accountable

We make promises we intend to keep, and we set a completion time for each one. New undertakings face barriers. The challenges we encounter are a reflection of our commitment, not a lack of commitment. Stay in the game.

Engage in Integrative Dialogue

Integrative dialogue transcends conventional debate, in which either/or and right/wrong exchanges push valuable perspectives to the margins. We work together to synthesize new understandings, especially when seemingly opposing views are expressed.

Ask Questions

While statements frame concerns as intractable problems, asking questions immediately orients us toward solutions. Asking questions when writing and speaking opens up new ways of thinking and sparks new ideas.

Collaborate Across Every Divide

We work with people of every party, persuasion, and background, not because we abandon our convictions, but because a world that works for everyone is built with everyone.

Thrive at the Edge of Learning

This work is unprecedented and demands continuous learning and adaptation. External change begins when we expand our receptiveness to new ideas. Bring it on.

Share Knowledge

We share information, ideas, and wisdom rather than withhold them. Sharing accelerates productivity and progress. It is time to scale up our collective intelligence.

Celebrate and Energize

Sustained collective effort runs on positivity. We value each other's participation and express our appreciation.

Trust Collective Intelligence

IntelliSynthesis® is the logic and intelligence all around us, so often hidden by posturing, positioning, and politicizing. When we act in the community's best interests, collective intelligence naturally guides us toward solutions that work for everyone.

Your Opportunity to Promise

Indicate each promise that resonates with you, and leave blank any that don't fit:

I stand for collaboration and coordination for the sustainable well-being of all as the fundamental operating principle of civilization, and I add my name to the public count of those who stand for it.
I practice collaboration where I already am, in my family, my work, and my community, guided by the Principles for Collaboration.
I carry the invitation. I will ask the people around me about their heartfelt dreams for the world and invite them to make this Promise their own.
I bring the Promise to the organizations in my life. As an employee, a customer, a member, a neighbor, and a voter, I will encourage the enterprises and governments I engage with to adopt collaboration and coordination for the sustainable well-being of all in their charters, plans, and laws.
