# Sprint 2: Aligning with Core Values

To appreciate the Core Values of Societal Thinking, surface and resolve tensions and align on what to hold steady while orchestrating positive exponential change

Our beliefs have a profound effect on our actions. Anchored in the big question, we arrive at a shared understanding of how we will work towards our big question anchored in the Core Values of Societal Thinking. Together, we will surface the tensions that may emerge due to the context we are in, related power structures, and motivations and incentives of the ecosystem that we need to orchestrate. Here we discover what we must hold steady on the journey ahead.

**Pre-requisite:** The big question and the list of key friction that impede progress towards it

**Pre-requisite:** An updated version of the design document (SDA5) based on sprint 1 outputs

**Downloadable assets** that are useful for preparing for / facilitating this sprint:

* [S2A1](https://drive.google.com/file/d/161gwHQITzBL95iU3-uQvXkAE0NR8CJK7/view?usp=drive_link): A primer on the Core Values of positive exponential change
* [S2A2](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aLoIldBlpITTcIYzJE-5tKD_2mGZj5LA/view?usp=drive_link): Objectives and agenda for the time we spend together
* S2A3: A slide deck to help learn and assimilate the Core Values
* S2A4: A guide to enable those who want to facilitate this sprint
* [S2A5](https://drive.google.com/file/d/10y8qmaoIwF_dkMgaZmURZHNQmHczUzV8/view?usp=drive_link): The design document where all sprint outputs are curated

Please email <design@societalthinking.org> to request a copy of A3 and A4 assets.

**Post-work:** Key tensions / concerns surfaced and decisions regarding how to resolve them

**Post-work:** An updated version of the design document (SDA5) based on sprint 2 outputs
