Well, I think any real change will come from that avenue. I think society will have to evolve to where we understand things on a basic level, so that we are not so separate from each other. That is a concsiousness thing.
The outward benefits would be things along the lines of no war ( no me against you ), no greed ( less ego to satisfy ), things like that.

To move toward that, I suggest we concentrate on changing the structure of how we educate our children. Teach them more about how to meditate, or to put their thoughts under their control, instead of letting their thoughts control them.
Have them learn not to be so attached and identified to their thoughts, so that they can break free of the unconscious patterns that have driven society for eons.

So short answer for your project : Radical shift in how we educate our children.
