From Collaborative Economy to Collaborative OrganizationDavid Weingartner
What does it need to become a collaborative organization?
Slides of the talk given at CN Wintercongress of Detecon Consulting in February 2015.
After an introduction to the Collaborative Economy and its relation to the term "Sharing Economy", the presentation shows reasons for its rapid growth: Businesses as platforms. What are the elements of a platform? Why does it allow for rapid growth and value creation?
Taking this as a basis, we translated the concept to the organizational level using OuiShare as an example. What does it need to become a truly collaborative organization? What is the culture and tools needed? What tools and organizations inspired OuiShare?
Babele - How to achieve collective intelligenceEmanuele Musa
Disruptive change and innovation, digital businesses, a new business paradigm are some of the most popular terms to describe the current business environment.
Behind these trendy words, there is one key concept - the world and business are changing at incredible speeds - and companies need to change with them.
Change and innovation are not any nicer to have for a company - they’re mandatory.
The business environment changes so rapidly, according to a Deloitte study, over 88% of the Fortune 500 companies from 1970, do not exist anymore. So the main question is - how can businesses change and keep on innovating?
Fostering intrapreneurship is one of the answers. But the big mistake would be to put too much faith on the innovator alone. According to Harvard professor Linda Hill: innovation is not about solo Genius, it is about collective genius.
Thus, it's only when these 2 trends collide that we can develop disruptive and sustainable solutions, that produce unprecedented levels of economic prosperity, environmental quality, and social equity, meeting the needs of present society without compromising resources for future generations.
Aidf Asia summit 2016 - become one of our speakers Sonja Ruetzel
If you have a compelling case study or research to share, one that will inspire and inform other senior development leaders and decision makers in South East Asia, one that goes to the heart of how the region is changing, then we have an exclusive audience eager to hear from you.
The AIDF Asia Summit is bringing together humanitarian and development professionals from all stakeholders, including regional governments, UN agencies, Red Cross, local and international NGOs, donors and investors and the private sector, to discuss how technological innovations improve aid and development work in South East Asia.

How to raise awareness of medtech/ehealth entrepreneurs about opportunities raised by the ageing population? Sharing of our experience and the challenges we met.
Over the past three years, in conjunction with though leaders and practitioners in the worlds of sustainability, reporting, finance, innovation, psychology and strategy, the ThriveAbility Foundation has developed The ThriveAbility Program, which relies on the following seven principles:
1. If we are to reinvent Capitalism, we need to reinvent capital.
2. In order to reinvent capital, we need to transcend and include true costing (including externalities), true pricing (relying on markets alone to price thriveability), to arrive at True Value. This in turn relies on Integrated Thinking to drive Integrated Innovations that can then benefit from Integrated Reporting.
3. True Value is calculated using the six capitals in the ThriveAbility Six Capital Equation, where we maximise the thriving of human and social capital for the minimum footprint of natural and manufactured capital, through the power of intellectual and financial capital, driven by an accelerated innovation cycle.
4. Embodying True Value- There are three pathways toward embodying thriveable capital and investing in current institutions and practices in order to reinvent capital for a thriving future:
a. Making Capital Smarter, Wiser and Capable of Complex Systems Thinking
b. Shifting the Values and Perspectives that Prioritize the Incentives for Innovating and Investing in organizations
c. Applying the ThriveAbility Approach and Index to accelerate the transformations and innovations that drive ThriveAble organizations and investments.
5. The ThriveAbility Approach seeks to close the sustainability gap by closing the organizational gap that requires closure of the cultural and leadership gap in organizations. This is performed in a six step operation- the first four steps are internal to an organization, whil steps 5 and 6 (benchmarking and indexing) are cluster/industry wide.
6. The ThriveAbility Journey maps the five stages from compliance through “less bad” through sustainable, net positive and thriveable, enabling organizations to navigate their transitions from one stage to the next more effectively.
7. The ThriveAbility Approach and Index have been designed so as to not only build on existing sustainability efforts and metrics, but also to address the human and organizational factors that bedevil most initiatives that seek to move beyond merely incremental change. In this way we seek to enhance the existing strengths we have in innovation, design, transformation, leadership, strategy and psychology to ensure a thriving future for us all.

18. Contextual Strategy
Intelligent Change is needed in order to face the challenges of
this new area of global evolution. The solutions needed will
result from Global Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing.
Positive development will be possible through a smart and
holistic approach. Overall intelligent answers will allow a
community approach by respecting cultural diversity and a
sustainable lifestyle.
All Global Challenges need to be addressed – we live in a new,
fully connected system.
19. Sustainable Systemic Change
Global Challenges can be met by a profound new approach –
repeating old mistakes is not an option. The new complexity
needs a connected, systemic and fresh thinking and a dynamic
smart implementation. New solution generations can benefit
from a technology/scientific systemic generation change.
20. Impact
Independent thinking is a powerful way of spreading knowledge
and of inspiring for global change.
There is not one solution needed, but we need a massive wish
and enthusiasm to continuously improve and connect.
This beyond boarders, nations, interest groups – this is the
global village.
21. Support Network
The Club of Amsterdam already with its current dimensions
reaches mayor decision and policy makers all over the world.
Strengthening and expand the current activities is a first step –
in order to make it a truly global think tank with a strong impact
– a series of projects will be needed. Projects that will be
dynamically created based in current needs.
A smart support network will ensure that the key resources –
connected thinking – are being used to its best.
