Sustainability: A Visual Search
This document discusses sustainability and provides a visual representation of the concept. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. This requires balancing environmental, social, and economic demands. The visual diagrams show how these three pillars are interconnected and how moving from an initial clash toward synergy can lead to sustainability. Key aspects of each pillar like clean air and fair trade are identified. The document advocates for continuous equilibrium between the pillars through synergetic cooperation.
The YPO Global Impact Initiative
The YPO Global Impact Initiative recognizes YPO members who have led enterprises and projects over the last three years that have positively impacted almost 1.2 billion individuals. As an organization dedicated to better leadership through education and idea exchange, YPO founded the Global Impact initiative to honor the social responsibility and enterprise success of its members worldwide. The initiative fosters awareness of members' efforts to solve global challenges through innovative projects and exemplifies how executives can apply their business skills to lead community outreach and create positive change.
Future of social investment
The document discusses the future of social investment and strategies for promoting stronger economic growth, more and better jobs, social cohesion, and environmental sustainability. It questions past policy paradigms and addresses the need to fill important policy gaps. It also outlines the development of the social investment market through microfinance, diverse funds, and utilizing social media websites to establish networks and discussions.
Social-Entrepreneurship-For-Engineers
Social entrepreneurship uses business techniques to develop and implement solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues. It has key characteristics like focusing on public benefit, innovation to address social issues, and market orientation for accountability. Examples include Muhammad Yunus' Grameen Bank, which has over $159 billion in assets, and Sir Fazle Hasan Abed's BRAC, the world's largest NGO with over $68 billion in revenue. A survey found that 37% of technology company leaders have engineering backgrounds, showing social entrepreneurship potential for engineers. The document outlines challenges like financing and risks but says with patience, trust, and learning from experts, engineers can start profitable businesses or social ventures to serve humanity.
Development Meaning and Definition
Development involves both mental and social changes in a population that seeks to increase real and sustainable economic growth over time. It is a multidimensional process that requires reorganizing economic and social systems to improve quality of life. True development is long-term, participatory social change for the majority of a society through better understanding of their environment. It encompasses improvements in economic, social, political, security, cultural and social aspects of a whole society, not just economic indicators.
ThriveAbility Presentation at the Integral European Conference
Robin Lincoln Wood has had a lifelong passion for environmental and social justice. He has advised hundreds of large organizations and political leaders to catalyze beneficial change. Through his work with organizations like the ThriveAbility Foundation, Renaissance2 Foundation, and campaigns in South Africa and Borneo, he aims to help leaders make decisions that maximize thriving for all stakeholders with minimal environmental impact. He has written and spoken extensively on developing a circular economy powered by renewable energy, conscious evolution, and conscious enterprise to transition from an unsustainable system to one where all can flourish.

The ThriveAbility Story in 20 Minutes - Co-Creating a Thriving Future
The ThriveAbility Story in 20 Minutes - Co-Creating a Thriving FuturePartners in Thriveable Transformation
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.Earth leaders for ecosystem resilience and sustainable development
1) The document discusses the need for "earth leadership" and positioning everyone as an "earth leader" responsible for the sustainability and resilience of the planet.
2) An earth leader is described as someone committed to environmental stewardship and the conservation of natural resources for present and future generations.
3) The document calls for events called "Geo Spirit Meets" to facilitate the emergence of more earth leaders and raise awareness about the challenges facing the planet.
Metamorphosis - Mankind in Transition
This document outlines a vision and mission for sustainable economic transformation called Project Metamorphosis. It acknowledges that current economic, policy, and legal systems are unsustainable and must change. The mission of Project Metamorphosis is to build a comprehensive framework for sustainable economic stability that results in healthy communities, watersheds, countries, and planet while empowering diversity. It provides protocols for the transformation, including doing what is right without righteousness, showing respect for all life, taking responsibility, being truthful, and embracing change.
Final project
The document discusses lessons learned from an introduction to financing for development. It notes that a paradigm shift is needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and that financing their implementation is critical. It also states that developing countries like Bangladesh traditionally rely on international donors for development finance, but that global development funding is decreasing, so optimal use of all available public and private resources is required, including domestic resource mobilization, remittances, and pension funds.

Positive Finance_spread
This book lays out a vision for transforming the current economic model and financial system to make capital work in the best interests of society and the environment. The authors argue that finance can be reinvented as a "toolkit" and powerful lever for directing capital towards social and technological innovations, sustainable infrastructure development, and the energy transition. Positive Finance presents specific ways to reallocate capital in order to reduce inequality while addressing environmental constraints. The goal is to prove that financing solutions to current economic and sustainability crises is achievable through reinventing finance as a force for the general interest.
What price the environment?
The document discusses different perspectives on economic growth and the environment from two chapters. It also discusses using the R-ISEW (Regional Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare) to put a monetary value on the environment and measure economic well-being beyond GDP in the West Midlands region from 1994 to 2006. The R-ISEW is one of six indicators used to measure performance of the region's economic strategy.
Business Activism by Jo Hunter
The document discusses using business as a catalyst for change through business activism and aligning corporate values with social and environmental goals. It describes the author's journey of leaving corporate marketing to start a values-aligned consulting business focused on strategic planning to help organizations improve their performance and contribution to society. The business model is based on authentic purpose, altruism, and forming networks among individuals and groups pursuing common social and environmental causes.
Social Entrepreneurship
Social entrepreneurship involves using innovative and sustainable approaches to solve social problems in a way that promotes individual freedom. Social entrepreneurs are driven to spread their ideas as far as possible to address major issues. The difference between social entrepreneurship and charity is that social entrepreneurs are action-oriented, risk-taking, and focused on achieving measurable results and long-term solutions to problems. Communicating a complex vision for social change requires helping others understand the problem, why it matters, and an inspiring solution.

NGOs are non-profit organizations that are independent of government and work to better society, such as providing aid or advocating for human rights. Development organizations, like the UNDP and World Bank, provide financial resources, technical assistance, and collaborate with governments and NGOs to coordinate development efforts. While NGOs and development organizations have complementary roles and often collaborate, they differ in their structure, funding sources, and levels of government influence. Both play important roles in international development.

Getting good at disruption in an uncertain world: learning for international ...
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.
