Ambition Focus Areas

The Ambition Economy is designed to help every individual over 16, every informal team, and every organisation globally identify, progress, and deliver their individual and collective ambitions. The scope is massive, covering 12 Ambition Areas, that for illustrative purposes are broken down into segments, as shown below.

Each ambition is progressed by completing everyday activities, which include developing ideas, fixing problems, asking questions, sharing knowledge, starting discussions, and 19 others.

As expected, your completed activities and realised ambitions are designed to change and improve something, either by making others aware, stopping what needs stopping, or co-creating new outcomes.
