A pretty comprehensive summary of the nexus of concepts that my current project .commUNITY is working on. We have rebranded the concept as an Ekosystem.
The document proposes a Social Good Ecosystem Incubator model to support pre-proof of concept social ventures. It suggests structuring the incubator as an ecosystem where established organizations help offset costs for early-stage ventures. A technology layer across projects would provide visibility and collaboration. A Social Good Ecosystem Pooled Fund would provide cash for projects through structures like bonds that guarantee investor principal while funding the incubator ecosystem. The model aims to proliferate social entrepreneurship by supporting many small ventures rather than just one large venture.
A model, pioneered by Chris Cook, that aligns the interests of financiers with users and managers of an asset. One might think of this as a vision for a Collaborative Capital Structure!
The document discusses the achievements of the Inspire East Design Review and Enabling services over five years. It provides feedback from panel members and users of the services. Key points include:
1) The services reviewed 136 schemes and supported 70 projects, providing independent review and advice to improve quality.
2) Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with the panel management rated highly. Users found value in gaining different perspectives and resolving issues.
3) The impact on improving schemes was seen in modified masterplans and successful applications, though long-term impact is difficult to measure.
4) Panel members emphasized the importance of community engagement, learning from best practices, and focusing on long-term sustainability and placemaking.

“We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us” John Culkin, SJ
Technogenic cultures, such as ours, demonstrate tightly-coupled economic systems with cultural production. This has become a self-reinforcing societal process, where the production of technological efficiencies becomes an inviolable social good desirable as product of culture.
Monitor Institute - What's Next for Philanthropy: Acting Bigger and Adapting ...Working Wikily
This document discusses emerging practices in philanthropy that are needed to address complex social problems. It argues that while philanthropy has made efforts to improve, simply tweaking the status quo is not sufficient given the scale of challenges. The next decade requires funders to act bigger through coordination with other funders and sectors, and adapt better by incorporating new knowledge and adjusting strategies. Some innovative funders are already pioneering these "next practices," but barriers like independence, insularity, risk aversion, and competition inhibit greater change across the field.

This document discusses democratic approaches to urban planning and city building. It highlights the importance of public participation and inclusive governance. Some key points made include:
- Cities are changing rapidly and require smart, long-range planning and new forms of devolved governance that give more power to local governments and involve civil society.
- Trickle-down approaches to urban development will not work; planning needs to be participatory and involve city residents.
- Examples of participatory projects, like the High Line in New York City, show how collaboration between the public and private sectors can transform places.
- Design assistance teams provide a model for bringing together multidisciplinary experts to work intensively with communities on planning processes.
This document discusses designing cities to foster connection and regeneration. It argues that modernity has led to fragmentation and unsustainability that must be reversed by reweaving rich webs of synergistic relationships. This reconnection of social and environmental fabrics is a creative challenge for the future. While many partial solutions are proposed, they are often disconnected and lack a larger strategic framework informed by an inspiring vision of an alternative to the status quo. Facing the great challenges will require profound societal changes to foster sustainability.

Panel presentation social innovation margaret hancock-nov. 11_2011 ocasi edocasiconference
Most simply, social innovation is about new ideas that work to address old social problems like poverty, homelessness, and violence. Social innovation applies new learning and strategies to solve these challenges by profoundly changing beliefs, routines, resource flows, and authority within social systems to increase resilience. Successful social innovations have durability, impact, and scale. Social entrepreneurs identify resources where others see only problems, beginning with the assumption that communities themselves hold the solution. Governments can enable social innovation by developing supportive policies, financing tools, and an environment that mobilizes private funds for public good through social enterprises owned by frontline workers and communities.
Future Urban Design for the Emergence of a Fluid Sense of SelfUniversity of Oxford
Given the growing pace of urbanisation and the need for developing cohesive, and resilient communities, it is crucial to discuss how we can better design the space of our future cities. Inspired by the movement of open spaces in cities across the world, resilience theory and the concept of smart cities, I demonstrate that city and human resilience are tightly interlinked and it is possible to positively influence both through utilising the transformative power of open spaces and smart technologies in novel ways. Moreover, drawing on my main line of research on resilience of complex adaptive systems (e.g., people, places and natural systems), I present synthetic ways to rethink urban design and harness the transformative function of flexible structures such as open spaces and pervasive technologies such as Internet of Things to help people and communities explore new sociocultural possibilities that open them up to explore new possibilities, and eventually shifting our shared social realities toward new horizons.

Getting good at disruption in an uncertain world: learning for international ...IIED
From climate change and urbanisation to resource scarcity and geopolitical shifts, our world is experiencing disruptive change that impacts how development work is planned and delivered.
At the same time, this development practice is also increasingly impacted by ‘internal disruptors’ such as the emergence of new donor nations, a growth in crowdsourcing and the rise of social enterprise.
How can international non-governmental organisations (NGOs) prepare themselves for the disrupted future ahead? They could arguably start by learning from Southern NGOs — many of which already manage disruption in the here and now and are invaluable in building agency and achieving lasting change.
These slides summarise the findings from an IIED project to collate and share learning from 23 NGO leaders across Africa, Asia and Latin America on how to manage disruptive change.

This document discusses several frameworks for understanding the relationship between culture and public relations on a global scale. It identifies five key environmental variables - political ideology, economic system, level of activism, culture, and media system - that public relations practitioners can use to design country-specific strategies. It also examines theories of societal culture and how four determinants (technoeconomics, social structure, ideology, and personality) shape cultures worldwide. Finally, it proposes 10 generic principles for effective public relations practices in different national and organizational contexts.
This master's thesis presentation examines the corporate social responsibility (CSR) drivers and collaboration mechanisms used by multinational companies to fill institutional voids. It uses a qualitative multiple case study approach involving semi-structured interviews. The study finds that local legitimacy factors are primary CSR drivers for filling institutional voids related to healthcare and education. Companies partner with NGOs and the government to effectively implement CSR projects aimed at filling institutional voids and create social value through improved corporate image, employee motivation, and government relations.

This document summarizes the work of Biofab, a company that aims to reduce organ transplant waiting lists by developing bio-generated organs using 3D bioprinting and stem cell technology. Biofab was founded by Cesar Loo and plans to develop organ bioprinting models using stem cells from umbilical cords, teeth, and adipose tissue. Their strategy is to establish operations in Europe and sell bioprinters, biomaterials, and stem cells to eventually bioprint tracheas, esophagi, and bladders for human transplant.
This document provides guidelines for designing an album cover digipak. It recommends using different fonts but limiting them, using colors that link the artwork and maintaining continuity. The imagery should connect to the music video or have other synergy. The digipak must include barcodes, copyrights, logos and the artist's website URL. It cautions against using too many fonts, overusing colors or filters, and stretching images too much.
This document summarizes the work of Biofab, a company that aims to reduce organ transplant waiting lists by developing bio-generated organs using 3D bioprinting and stem cell technology.

This document proposes an open infrastructure model for a social venture investment bank to support early stage social ventures. It envisions utilizing open models and developing collaborative ecosystems. The investment bank would add value through market intelligence, relationships and mitigating risk by driving collaboration. Currently, there is lack of infrastructure for early social ventures due to high risk and lack of visible returns. The solution is to develop information, relationships and enable collaboration through pooled funding. It provides examples of evolving communications enabling ecosystems and outlines phases to rollout the model starting with developing a single ecosystem as a proof of concept.
The presentation "Porfolios for system transformation" by Giulio Quaggiotto (Head of Strategic Innovation, UNDP) was held at Sitra's event Innovaatioportfolioryhmän luokkakokous on 5th of May, 2021.
An ecosystem consists of projects that interact and collaborate with each other through shared goals, team members, customers, technology or value chains. Projects within an ecosystem maintain autonomy but also benefit from synergies. Modern communication technologies have reduced barriers to collaboration, making it more efficient to organize resources through collaboration to achieve larger goals. Ecosystems can support groups of organizations in learning from each other through shared infrastructure and exploring mutually beneficial ways of working together at low cost. This increased success and reduced risk for investors.
Urban Hub17: Integral Program Design - Thriveable CitiesPaul van Schaık
This document provides an overview and introduction to resources from Integral UrbanHub on using integral theory and frameworks to design thriveable cities. It summarizes perspectives from experts on the importance of developing urban centers and discusses concepts like integral methodological pluralism and integral program design. The document advertises additional books and guides available on integralurbanhub.org that apply integral theory to understand challenges cities face and how to address them through collaboration across sectors and worldviews.
The Critical Urban Areas Initiative is a national program led by the Secretary of State for Land Planning and Cities that aims to intervene in vulnerable neighborhoods through integrated socio-territorial projects. It started with an experimental phase in three territories involving seven ministries. The initiative promotes principles of innovation, strategic coordination, participation of local actors, sustainable solutions, and generating long-lasting impacts and effects.
Flourishing Societies Framework - DwD Workshop Peter Jones
How might we move or collective thinking and action beyond single-issue social action?
Does it make sense to build our urban worlds and future societies by winning one political issue at a time?
Can we design civic business models for our cities and society?
All social services, determinants of health, and economics are complex and interrelated. So why do we expect any political body or activist group to get it right? Only meaningfully diverse, multi-stakeholder groups can envision the variety of interests and outcomes in complex social systems. In February's Design with Dialogue Peter Jones workshops tools for co-creating civic design proposals.
A significant design challenge of our time is anticipating the relationships of multiple environmental and social problems as a complex system of nonlinear relationships. However, we cannot think about, model or discuss the relationships well, especially in the heat of discussion with deliberative groups and decision making processes. We need not only better engagement and dialogue processes for citizen deliberative problem solving, we require relevant tools.
With the OCADU Strongly Sustainable Business Model Group and with Strategic Foresight & Innovation students we designed a relevant framework from the common language of business model tools, adapted for civic decision models for flourishing cities and settlements.
The Flourishing Cities framework adapts a design tool for strongly sustainable business models as a visual organizer for engaging stakeholders in co-creating normative operational guidance for civic groups, community planners, and local governments. Flourishing can be understood as “to live within an optimal range of human functioning, one that connotes goodness, generativity, growth, and resilience,” or as John Ehrenfeld states it:
“Flourishing is the possibility that human and other life will flourish on this planet forever.”
This visual model enables a participatory mapping of propositions, values, and preferences that might yield significantly better group decisions for sociocultural and ecological development and governance in any planning engagement.

This document discusses urban development after the economic crisis. It begins by outlining the vision of urban quality and determining undercurrents like megapolization. The consequences section notes immense changes in markets and the need for interdisciplinary, partnership-based approaches. Traditional top-down models no longer apply; processes are now fluid and complex. Management involves concepts like self-organization and networks. Urban development requires new fundamentals like developmental maintenance and social business cases. New professionals need skills like passion, creativity, and entrepreneurship rather than sectoral knowledge alone.
Presentation by Peter Jones at RSD4 Banff, Alberta, 2015. Society can be defined as an object of culture, as culture is a medium for the collective development of social systems. Societies are not designed by a deliberative process, but are social entities that emerge over time as response to historicity and cultural development, and function largely by tacit agreement as observed in social norms.
In the 1960’s social systemicists such as Ozbekhan, Fuller, and Doxiadis advocated deliberative civic planning as a normative science for designing sustainable and preferable societies and settlements. Even though their original methodologies of normative planning (Ozbekhan), anticipatory design science (Fuller) and ekistics (Doxiadis) did not gain the results hoped in applications over time, these arguments could be lodged against most systems methodologies. Yet when we consider their views of the human capacity to design future outcomes as a serious social and political project, we in our fragmented polities in the postmodern era might take heed. An argument follows that we, as cultural innovators in our own societies, having access to the wisdom of successful past transitions or redirections, have also failed to motivate and enact changes requisite to our common concerns.
A systemic design approach is proposed toward constructing such idealizations as a necessary initial condition. The approach reconciles wisdom from our sociocultural histories with collaborative design practices of the current era to construct shared pathways to desired and feasible societal futures.
The document proposes establishing a Community of Impact to collaboratively address global challenges through systemic innovation. It discusses how individual projects have failed to create lasting improvements and that a holistic, inclusive approach is needed. The Community of Impact would bring together aligned initiatives to bootstrap the theory, practice and ethos of collaboration. A simple framework is outlined for members to declare objectives, values, conduct retrospectives and leverage each other's work for social benefit. Connecting existing and launching new aligned initiatives is suggested to transform understanding of issues from symptoms to systems.

The document discusses barriers to volunteering faced by migrants, including legislative barriers that prevent migrants from volunteering or lack required references, as well as a lack of consideration by officials and organizations that migrants could be potential volunteers. It provides tasks for overcoming these barriers, such as preparing an empathetic pitch about the problem, researching relevant policies, and partnering with volunteer centers.
A comprehensive exploration of an operating next-generation organization.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

3. What is the Essence?
“For peace to reign on Earth,
humans must evolve into new
beings who have learned to see
the whole first.”
― Immanuel Kant
4. The Good Country Index
“Do (countries) exist purely to serve
the interests of their own politicians,
businesses and citizens, or are they
actively working for all of humanity
and the whole planet? The debate is
a critical one, because if the first
answer is the correct one, we’re all in
deep trouble.”
12. What is the function of
social finance…
impact investing…
charitable giving?
13. Hypotheses
Function of social finance… charitable
giving… is to make the world a better
place… more specifically to proliferate
social good…
The fundamental bottleneck to this is the
absence of very early stage risk capital
(resources) for projects that are social
mission focused
14. What Is Our Opportunity?
Develop a prototype for a solution that
will solve a systemic problem!... To totally
change the game… to make a difference
at a global level…
Provide capital for very early stage socially
focused projects
Provide context for later stage projects
(mission driven and otherwise) to support
change activity, develop partnerships…
develop their projects
Ramp up capacity for the movement for
change in our local area
15. What are Projects …
Ecosystem?
PROJECT: A group of people working
towards the same goal… with a shared
mission… vision… story
ECOSYSTEM: A group of Projects working
towards the same goal… with a shared
mission… vision… story
They might share the same people,
infrastructure, partners, clients etc.
16. An Ecosystem of Projects
TIME
TIME
The
UNIFICATION…
COVERGENCE
of Mission…
Vision… Story…
Goals… Intent
17. What is an Ecosystem?
“An ecosystem is a
community of living
organisms…”
“…ecosystems are
defined by the
network of
interactions among
organisms, and
between organisms
and their
environment…”
The whole is
greater than
the sum of
its parts!
24. The Power of Stories: connect to
world through stories
In media and social media driven world
Stories are disproportionately more
important at any other time in history
Viral dynamics
Emotive
So… what mix of projects is in
alignment with this reality?

34. The Paradigm Shift
Systemic of View of Projects… from one
project at a time to groups of projects
Systemic View of Resource Allocation…
from funding one project at a time to
funding one ecosystem at a time!
Flow capital directly from financially
motivated investors to socially
motivated projects
35. What is a Social Venture?
There are many definitions. I am
offering the following…
‘Projects, the objective of which is to
bring about positive social change’
Note that, there is no reference to said
projects necessarily having to make
money in this definition
37. What is the Problem Being
Solved?
Lack of resources (cash and in-
kind) for germination stage and
pre-proof of concept social
innovators… which is a systemic
problem
… why is this a systemic problem?
38. The Systemic Problem
Seed stage social innovation
projects (as defined) carry very
high risk and very little financial
return potential (by definition)
This is to be contrasted with
financially motivated projects
which behaves like…
39. ‘Financial Driven’ Angel Investments…
return distributions
Socially motivated
investments don’t
have this return
potential
Seed stage Social
investments have
high risk and
moderate return
potential
All seed stage projects are risky but some that are profit
motivated do really well!... This compensates for all those that
do poorly…

Single Project Scalability Principle
Scalability: support the one project that
has the highest probability of doing
extraordinarily well.
Problem…
Ignores 9/10 projects
Reinforces survival of the fittest
Underlying Perspective
Competition versus cooperation
42. Social Change and Cultural Change…
proliferating social entrepreneurship
The Problem with the One Project Scalability
model…
Is it better to fund 1 * $200,000 into a great
project that will scale… or 10 * $20,000 into
smaller unproven projects?
Not clear from a financial perspective
A definite NO from a cultural change
perspective
43. The Cultural Mix
Is it better to have?...
Highly
Scalable
Projects
Moderately
Scalable Projects
From the perspective of the
system... The world!... How do
we scale the entire system?
44. Distribution of Lease Payments
