Excerpts from this article follow:

"Idea4Idea is a dynamic and engaging
implementation model of evidence-
based improvement methods to promote
learning and positive change to achieve
specific improvement goals..."

" The model involves continuous
incentive and reinforcement for
repeated positive thought and action.
The components of the model are
simple, yet multi-dimensional, and are
adaptable to different audiences,
cultures, and situations. Idea4Idea may
be used by individuals, groups,
organizations, and world societies..."


"When used to achieve altruistic goals,
the model provides a cyclical rela-
tionship between strengthening altru-
ism and strengthening self-worth. As
a person engages in altruistic thought
or action, there is visible recognition
and honor of the person to build the
person's sense of self-worth, which, in
turn, generates impetus for the person
to repeat the altruistic thought or ac-
tion. Also, the Idea4Idea model
encourages exchange of ideas and
crediting the influence of other ideas
and actions, providing incentive for
open sharing and collaboration and
mutual respect and honor.

The model is particularly applicable
to large, complex goals that may pre-
sent an overwhelming challenge to
individuals or groups, engendering a
sense of powerlessness to impact or make
a change for improvement, e.g. world
peace. When envisioning such
goals, individuals and groups may
give up before attempting positive
change due to the overwhelming
scope of the goal. The Idea4Idea
model provides a positive context
for change that is manageable and doable..."
