SIMPLICITY How do we create ideas that are simple yet profound?
 
“ Comprehensive community building naturally lends itself to a return-on-investment rationale that can be modeled, drawing on existing practice. A factor constraining the flow of resources to CCIs is that funders must often resort to targeting or categorical requirements in grant making to ensure accountability.”

Use surprise Generate Interest Make them curious
CONCRETE How do we make our ideas clear?

CREDIBLE How do we make people believe our ideas?
 
EMOTIONAL How do we get people to care about our ideas?
