CORE DEFINITION

Small beginnings: starting from a tiny spark. Diffusion mechanism: how it spreads from local to global. Tipping point: the turning point from slow accumulation to rapid spread. Scaffolding role: understanding the nonlinear propagation of change. Major transformations often begin with small experiments; the key is to create conditions for the "fire" to "spread across the prairie." (The Spark to Wildfire Method is the same concept.)
