Comments 1
Target audiences :
corporate strategy gurus - “future of business”
On targets: “what gets measured gets done” - only
Global competitiveness
is helping the search for local , bottom up
Social responsibility now has to be more visible – reported
Social mission is developing a way to link brand growth
eg to MDG’s
The world is less polarised than the manifesto suggests

Comments 2
Reporting/ metrics , ranking agencies help steer “ good corporate behaviour”
Metrics and indicators evolve slowly.
Regulatory environment is a very important direction setter.
Innovation gateways internal and external
Partnership
Scaling Up
Sustainability: purality of objectives; determined in society
Climate change: imperative for open source technologies
