other do our jobs better and in turn, save time, be more effective and
impact a greater number of people.

you help them, they will help you. That behaviour and collective effect is what allows you
to move beyond a zero sum game approach to multiplier effect whereby the benefits are
multiplied exponentially as more actors join and contribute to common goals.” - Jack Sim
