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.

PRINCIPAL CHARACTERISTICS OF
MARIANIST ADMINISTRATION
SOCIETY OF MARY
(MARIANISTS)
October 2, 2013
PRESENTATION
Throughout recent decades, we have been developing within the Society of Mary the
task of reflecting upon the characteristics which are proper to the nature of the SM and
the “Marianist” way of conducting our apostolic mission. This endeavor has been
undertaken as a response to a concern about how to transmit our charismatic identity
into the future. We cannot forget that, if we should lose this identity, we would lose our
raison d’être for being in the Church and in the world.
In the past, this transmission has been achieved almost by a sort of “osmosis,” from one
religious to another, and from one generation of religious to the next. In recent years,
due, on the one hand, to the composition of the personnel of the Society and its
distribution (diminishing number of religious in traditional Units, while growing in new
cultures and countries) and, on the other hand, the growing participation of laywomen
and laymen in our mission, as they assume positions of responsibility, this “osmotic
transmission” has weakened considerably. We need, therefore, to make use of other
resources: documents, meetings, formation seminars…
In light of this, and for the same purpose, this present document, approved by the
General Council, presents the grounds upon which is based the proper way to
"administrate" in the Society of Mary and the traits that characterize it. It uses the term
"administration" in its broad sense. As such, it is not limited to the realm of economics
and finance, but goes beyond to embrace the set of resources, both human and material,
with which the Society lives and carries out its mission. It is, therefore, a comprehensive
document – as is our intention – to assist in the formation of those who exercise some
responsibility in this domain, be they religious or laypersons.
May St. Joseph, under whose patronage the Society of Mary, following the tradition
started by our Founder, has always entrusted its administration, accompany us and help
us remain faithful to what the Lord expects of us, for the good of God’s Kingdom.

Social Teaching. “If indeed the just ordering of society
and of the state is a central responsibility of politics, the
Church cannot and must not remain on the side-lines in

This is the report of the Good Work Commission. The Commissioners are a group of individuals with a great breadth and depth of experience in leading organisations across all sectors, including business, government, the unions, the church, media and the voluntary sector. They believe that ‘good work’ is a benefit to employees, employers and society alike – and that it is possible to make it more rewarding for all involved.
Flowing from that, the purpose of the report is to explore what makes ‘good work’ and how to create more of it. It is based on two key assets: the great breadth of experience and views of the Commissioners and the considerable body of research produced by the Work Foundation over the past decade. The Work Foundation presented a set of eight Provocation Papers to the Commissioners to inform their thinking and stimulate debate. The report draws heavily on those papers and over twenty other studies produced by the Foundation, as well as a wide range of literature produced by others in the UK and elsewhere. Personal perspectives from the Commissioners are incorporated throughout the report, reinforcing and accenting the research-based narrative about the nature of ‘good work’.
The aspiration is for the report to be useful for people who have leadership and management roles in organisations, prompting reflection about how effectively their organisation is dealing with these issues and providing practical suggestions about how they could take it to the next level.
As the founder and main worker bee at Rhema Association Management, I have always had to push the boundaries of information technology to do more with less. Back in the mid 1990’s it took a team of four full time worker bees to manage all the details of a handful of growing international societies, their annual meetings, journal subscriptions, membership applications and dues renewals. With today’s advances in information technology all that and more can be efficiently & effectively handled through a well featured Virtual Office and someone who knows how to choose and use the best technology for the job at hand. Over the past 25 years I’ve welcomed the technological changes that have helped to streamline Association Management.

IEA publication, May 2024
Critical minerals, which are essential for a range of clean energy technologies, have risen up the policy agenda in recent years due to increasing demand, volatile price movements, supply chain bottlenecks and geopolitical concerns. The dynamic nature of the market necessitates greater transparency and reliable information to facilitate informed decision-making, as underscored by the request from Group of Seven (G7) ministers for the IEA to produce medium- and long-term outlooks for critical minerals.
The Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2024 follows the IEA’s inaugural review of the market last year. It provides a snapshot of industry developments in 2023 and early 2024 and offers medium- and long-term outlooks for the demand and supply of key energy transition minerals based on the latest technology and policy trends.
The report also assesses key risks to the reliability, sustainability and diversity of critical mineral supply chains and analyses the consequences for policy and industry stakeholders. It will be accompanied by an updated version of the Critical Minerals Data Explorer, an interactive online tool that allows users to explore the latest IEA projections.
Science Publication
Global projections of macroeconomic climate-change damages typically consider
impacts from average annual and national temperatures over long time horizons1–6
.
Here we use recent empirical fndings from more than 1,600 regions worldwide over
the past 40 years to project sub-national damages from temperature and precipitation,
including daily variability and extremes7,8
. Using an empirical approach that provides
a robust lower bound on the persistence of impacts on economic growth, we fnd that
the world economy is committed to an income reduction of 19% within the next
26 years independent of future emission choices (relative to a baseline without
climate impacts, likely range of 11–29% accounting for physical climate and empirical
uncertainty). These damages already outweigh the mitigation costs required to limit
global warming to 2 °C by sixfold over this near-term time frame and thereafter diverge
strongly dependent on emission choices. Committed damages arise predominantly
through changes in average temperature, but accounting for further climatic
components raises estimates by approximately 50% and leads to stronger regional
heterogeneity. Committed losses are projected for all regions except those at very
high latitudes, at which reductions in temperature variability bring benefts. The
largest losses are committed at lower latitudes in regions with lower cumulative
historical emissions and lower present-day income.
Science Publication: The atlas of unburnable oil for supply-side climate poli...Energy for One World
Nature Communication, Publication 2024
To limit the increase in global mean temperature to 1.5 °C, CO2 emissions must
be drastically reduced. Accordingly, approximately 97%, 81%, and 71% of
existing coal and conventional gas and oil resources, respectively, need to
remain unburned. This article develops an integrated spatial assessment
model based on estimates and locations of conventional oil resources and
socio-environmental criteria to construct a global atlas of unburnable oil. The
results show that biodiversity hotspots, richness centres of endemic species,
natural protected areas, urban areas, and the territories of Indigenous Peoples
in voluntary isolation coincide with 609 gigabarrels (Gbbl) of conventional oil
resources. Since 1524 Gbbl of conventional oil resources are required to be left
untapped in order to keep global warming under 1.5 °C, all of the above-
mentioned socio-environmentally sensitive areas can be kept entirely off-
limits to oil extraction. The model provides spatial guidelines to select
unburnable fossil fuels resources while enhancing collateral socio-
environmental benefits.

Our Organisations:-
Franciscan Action Network
Our Mission Statement:
Inspired by the Gospel of Jesus, and the example of Saints Francis and Clare, the Franciscan Action Network
(FAN) is a collective Franciscan voice seeking to transform (United States) public policy and (business
leadership) related to peace making, care for creation, poverty, and human rights.
We are a grassroots organization amplifying the justice efforts of Franciscans and Franciscan-hearted people
around the country. Join our growing movement that endures from St. Francis of Assisi and his call for
compassion for the poor and for creation over 800 years ago.
Our Vision Statement:
The Franciscan Action Network sees the interconnectedness of all creation and the common
origin of humanity as rooted in God’s loving design for the earth and all
people. Recognizing this fundamental goodness of God through the act of creation,
FAN counters the social sinfulness that persistently compromises God’s hopes, through
a clarion call to conversion. It is through continual conversion that the cry of the earth
and the cry of the poor can be heard in their authenticity and understood in a way that
leads us to re-discover our original goodness, both personally and collectively. Through
this process of continual conversion we discover ourselves as co-creators, with God and
others, thereby realizing a world where people and plant cherish a common inherent
dignity, encourage social goodness, and live in just prosperity
History and Creation of FAN:
The original idea for the Franciscan Action Network (FAN) came as a result of a challenge by Franciscans
International (FI) and the representatives of each of the six different branches of the Franciscan family. Located
in Rome, this entity is referred to as the “Roman 6.” FI and the Roman 6 saw that a great deal of the work they
did at the UN and in Rome was affected by what happened in the United States. They called for all of the
different branches of the Franciscan families to come together and present a unified Franciscan voice in
Washington DC. One of the early leaders was Sister Margaret Mary Kimmins, an Allegany Franciscan sister,
Margaret Mary had served on the board of Franciscans International and she also worked as director of faith
outreach at Bread for the World. She had a unique perspective on the connection between what happens in
Washington and what happens at the UN. Margaret Mary along with Russ Testa, who was the JPIC director for
the Holy Name Province of the OFM, Brother Tino Arias, OFM Capuchin from the Province of St. Mary’s, and
Tom Bello the National Minister of the Secular Franciscans formed a steering committee.
In the fall of 2007, there was a gathering in Baltimore of approximately 150 Franciscans from across the country
representing all the different branches of the Franciscan Family, including leaders from all three orders as well as
leaders from the Episcopal Franciscans and the Ecumenical Franciscans. As a result of this retreat, there emerged
5. 5 | P a g e
the goal for a new collective identity, one that would be responsive to today’s social crises. At this gathering the
Franciscan Action Network (FAN) was created. Built to “faithfully represent our steering committee, our
Franciscan institutional members and our many new individual members—both religious and secular—in one
way: the propagation of a restorative course of action for our culture through intelligent advocacy. This civic
action we call advocacy is rooted in the spiritual strength of an eight hundred year old faith tradition that
obligates us.” The years 2008-2009 were primarily used to organize FAN. An advisory/action committee was
created with representatives from all branches of the Franciscan family and all geographic regions. Bylaws and
Articles of incorporation were written, a board of directors was established and FAN received its 501 (C) (3)
status. Russ served as intern director until a permanent director could be hired. Father Larry Janezic was hired in
2009. In 2010, Patrick Carolan came on board as the executive director and still holds that position. Margaret
Mary served as the first president of the board until 2013 when she stepped down and was replaced by fellow
Allegany Franciscan Sister Margaret Magee.
Since the early days, FAN has grown into a well-established organization in Washington, DC. Recognized as a
lead organization on several issues, FAN has expanded our staff to include directors of advocacy and campaigns
as well as retaining an office manager and communications coordinator. Membership has expanded to 50
member institutions. With their support, along with various grants and other outside funding, we continue to
build our advocacy efforts within our core issues as established at our founding. By partnering with other
organizations, we have become a dependable Franciscan voice for justice both in D.C. and beyond.

Energy For One World (www.energyforoneworld.com)
Energy For One World (EFOW) is a boutique consulting firm focused on organizing the delivery of
Sustainable Energy Architectures and UN Sustainable Developments into Sustainable Societies. Our
hybrid organization is focused on creating and developing outreach programs, consultancy and
hands-on programs in, for and between markets and organisations.
With a network of high-level professional relationships crossing the Globe, and with deep expertise
in both the Energy Sector and the UN SDG’s - from Academia, Business and Government – the EFOW
practice is uniquely positioned “to open some new doors”, to create “some new bridges of actions
and understanding”, to build “cross- border, cross-sector collaborations and impact” and to help to
foster “the tone of voice and the leadership values” that are relevant for the changes we may need,
or seek.
Since our inception in 2012, we've consistently build and produced new creative forms and formats
for Executive Leadership Education, Outreach and Transformative Programs that genuinely are
steered to nudge our mainstream corporate and government administrations towards the better
goals we seek.

Abstract
We propose to set-up, develop and organize – so-called- “Laudato Si in the
Boardroom” trial version outreach programs from The Franciscan Order/
International Franciscan Action Network, and in partnership with EFOW,- and in order
to deepen the conversation1 in relevant and large corporate business communities in
the East and in the West, in the North and in the South on: 1) Peace& Security, 2)
UN SDG’s and 3) Paris Climate Change Agreement.
The organisational structure of this partnering initiative will be “from scratch”1 – and
will be new, lean, and pure and simple:
Focussing on the delivery of the outreach programs that inspires Corporate
Leadership to step-up and better integrate the UN SDGs into their mainstream
business functions
The initial organisation will be based on the Encyclical of Pope Francis, and will steer
towards modern and transformative leadership insights, best (corporate) practices
and will seek “a new sociocracy” between the established corporates and the
incumbent Laudato Si organisation.2
The opportunity we have is to blend, inspire and create with “Laudato Si in the
Boardroom”
“a new flame and infusion” of “inspired leadership” into the Corporate Business
Community3”
“an intervention formula that may be able to build some new working bridges, cross
borders, cross silo’s, cross institutes and cross some competing working or country
interests “
“and may provide the additional impact- for the attainment and the delivery of the UN
SDGs.2”
The case for action, is self-evident.

and academic communities.

We may be in need of better "set" of “leadership eyes” , “real actions” and
transformations” and a better "tone of voice"- in and between ourselves
On the ways we apply and implement the UN SDGs and Paris Climate Change
agreement at home and how we deal with these in our trade relations- and the ways
our businesses and finance communities export, and market “stuff from home".
We may be to better review and steer the performances in the various industry
sectors- nationally, regionally and globally- think here again the key Energy, Industrial
and Finance Sectors,
And we may be invited to better unlock, scale and organize Transformative
Leadership that can become independent business leadership and facilitators - in
and between institutionalized organizations (corporates and
administrations), sectors, countries and on the whole.

Description of our Proposal
Background into our Proposal
The Catholic Tradition teaches us that our environment, God’s Creation, is sacred
and endangered and must be protected and sustained for present and future
generations. The best available science confirms that we currently in an ecological
crisis, and as Christians, it is our responsibility to act on the issues of climate change
and environmental degradation, and to provide a voice for the victims of
environmental destruction, injustice and pollution.
The call to protect our natural world is particularly relevant to the Catholic Community
in 2016, as Pope Francis calls “every living person on the planet” to enter into a new
dialogue on ecology. His Holiness said in a Homily during Mass in February 2015, “A
Christian who does not protect Creation, who does not let it grow, is a Christian who
does not care about the work of God, that work that was born from the love of God
for us”.
These concepts transcend the Catholic and the Christian traditions, speaking to all of
humanity and giving a deeper moral and ethical imperative to protect our
environment and transition ourselves as individuals and corporations towards an
ecological conversion – to develop an integral ecology.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policies only go so far in transforming a
company towards being truly environmentally responsible in the world. Many see
CSR as a useful tool for being responsible, while others see it as a cynical Public
Relations attempt for companies to appear better in the public eye.
The B Corporation movement goes some way beyond CSR, towards addressing
some of these concerns with an explicit declaration that a business would benefit all
stakeholders, not just shareholders by becoming sustainable. However, it lacks a
larger moral, ethical and spiritual framing and context.
The Global Catholic Climate Movement and its member organisations have a unique
opportunity at this critical point in history to enter into dialogue with corporations,
ideally at the boardroom level, as interest in Pope Francis’ message grows across
our human society. This opportunity has the potential to be part of a tipping point in
corporate culture towards a deeper societal ecological conversion.
There will be a variety of corporations that will be interested in the message of the
encyclical for a variety of reasons. These reasons will range from a true desire to
understand what is being said and wishing to respond to it in a meaningful way to
cynical attempts to learn more about the message so that it can be either countered
or exploited for the corporations’ own profit.
There will be many interpretations of the encyclical and Laudato Si’ in the Boardroom
is a project that provides the opportunity to develop and maintain an authentic
consistent message.
10. 10 | P a g e
Developing a tailored approach for each boardroom conversation is essential to
enable the motivation of board members to be heard and responded too… the main
vehicle for change is dialogue and every opportunity to communicate with boardroom
members is part of the process and is encouraged.
In its simplest form Laudato Si’ in the Boardroom will be a dialogue, a process guided
workshop including input from the encyclical in a way that corporates can
understand. It should be tailored to the corporation’s purpose and ultimately start
them on a journey of ecological conversion at a personal and organizational level.
We will build upon the experiences obtained through the successful Laudato Si’
formation programs
The goal for Laudato Si in the Boardroom is to start to create the conditions in which
corporations and individuals in the corporations undergo an planetary, ecological and
human consciousness conversion that embeds the principles in Laudato Si’ in every
organisation.- deepening the conversations, deepening the experiences.
11. 11 | P a g e
Our first Stepping Stone(s)5
We propose to set-up and demonstrate the seed of a Laudato Si in the Boardroom
in/with the relevant (global compact) business community, government, civic society
and academics of the US/Nordics/NW Europe- markets
The initial function of the Laudato Si in the Boardroom will be modest- and only a
stepping stone. :
Consider the following:
The Laudato Si in the Boardroom3 is to provide the facility, faculty and more sacred
environment for the decision makers, executives and professionals - in industry,
(society and governments), and who are shaping the UN Sustainable
Development Agenda or who are to determine our socio-economic and
business architecture for today and tomorrow.
Laudato Si in the Boardroom- A Program for (Business) Leadership Transformation
We have the unique opportunity to create and grow a safe haven6 for international
business, (government, science and civic leaders) to discuss, receive inspiration and
co-create in a more sacred and safe programs- the pathways into vibrant sustainable
societies and businesses.
To better integrate the UN Sustainable Development Goals in Mainstream
Businesses (and national Governance)
With this act to establish and found an independent and neutral facility and faculty
with our founding partners, we trust that we can support and bring important and
essential new value and values to the table7
The Laudato Si in the Boardroom programs and organization could ideally be
positioned to work and function between and with the WBCSD, Global Compact, UN
SDSN and relevant UN agencies.
The Laudato Si in the Boardroom provides the relevant, natural, safe and secure
environment to the executive professionals and decision makers.
”Laudato Si in the Boardroom”
– Realizing Sustainable Societies-here and there, now and tomorrow & the better
way of doing trade and business- .
5 Examples of early pilots and demonstrators ran by EFOW, FAN and Assisi- are in attachment
6 E.g. in Assisi. Or – just like Pope Francis dialogue with the ISS Astronauts
7 Based on Pope Francis Encyclical, the Roman Catholic Tradition - Christian Values, Franciscan
Order, spirit of Assisi
12. 12 | P a g e
The Laudato Si in the Boardroom will be a meeting place on invitation only, safe
and secure, and where leaders in government and the business community can
come together for sharing, learning, discovery and active realizations.
The goal of the Laudato Si in the Boardroom is to raise individual awareness and
perspectives on the (global change challenge/ sustainable development change)
challenges and opportunities ahead, to find the essences for navigation and to make
room for the new- balancing short and longer term society and societal needs with
nature (sustainability) and economy.
The role of the Laudato Si in the Boardroom is to create the conditions for
inspiration and rapid learning, and to allow the leaders to step-up, and to grow in their
resolve, identity and leadership position in the (international) industry.
The Laudato Si in the Boardroom will be a place for positive and inspirational
leadership, where public, private, investment and research worlds can meet.
Vision and Mission of “the Laudato Si in the Boardroom”
Thanks to the inspiration and guidance of Pope Francis in his encyclical Laudato Si!-
we have now the unique opportunity to create, nurture and grow a neutral and
independent
multi-national
multi-party
Organization “for and by” businesses which can serve and aid the
international business sector to serve and build truly vibrant sustainable societies -
better integrating the UN Sustainable Development goals– globally.
The program can, may and will:
Raise government and business capabilities and capacities for
building sustainable development economies and business architectures of
the 21st century: supporting the rise and development of global vibrant
sustainable societies.
Aid Officials and Executives a new balancing act- and to raise a shared
vision, awareness and stewardship over the new needs and possibilities
in business and society.
Assist in the creation, evaluation, oversight or mediation of multi-lateral (UN
SDG/trade) working programs- crossing borders, crossing sectors, and
crossing working interests.
Produce and assist in the creation of new “forms and formats” benefitting the
global governance, business community and our civic societies.
With this act to establish and found an independent Laudato Si in the Boardroom
(program and organisation) with our founding partners, we trust that we can bring
important and essential new value and values to the table.
13. 13 | P a g e
The simple truth is:
What if we bring some of “the best and brightest” together on:
Global/Regional/National Change- Cultural, Religious and National (Economic)
Worldviews
UN Sustainable Development, Energy Architecture and Paris Climate Change
Conscious Leadership (Laudato Si/ Franciscan Order/ Franciscan Action
Network)
Organizational Leadership for and over Change : Transition and Innovation
Management
What would or could happen? Could we create the forms and formats which can
rapidly generate ‘new coalitions of the willing’ – who could amplify meaningful
projects and scale our national and individual efforts?
The Laudato Si in the Boardroom (Program and Organisation) is to serve our
physical presence and event location for the leadership (development) platform and
movement4 - we also propose hold and are going to serve. - in years 2018-2019 and
beyond.
15. 15 | P a g e
Now- in some very simple terms- I could summarize "the Edges and Frontiers"
of initial attention, - on:
1. The Global context and Change Challenge we see ourselves in: Pope Francis
Encyclical Laudato Si: the 24 planetary boundaries, the UN SDGs, - and the new
bridges and ways for transformation and change – for bringing Peace, deep respect
and care for Human dignity and our harmony with Nature- ) we are invited to see or
realize :
Changing our countries.
Changing our trading relations,
Changing the sector.
Changing our corporations and institutions.
Changing the way we lead.
2. Our intense energy economies - and the way we direct and power our economies
and growth. The way we learn and instill consuming habits. To raise our level of
awareness and leadership capabilities for energy-economy transitions and
transformations.
3. To better look, care and learn from the bottom of the pyramid: (how we treat) the
poor and deprived, as well as the (healthy or unhealthier behaviors), the middle-class
and at the Top of our Societies, our Elite, and our boardroom or Societal governance.
(ref. Edelman Group Global Trust Barometer 2017)
4. Better Learning to Manage the Mix of our Worldviews : our Ideal and Aspirational
Lifestyles: What is our aspirational Lifestyle. What worldviews do we carry- between
Cosmo and Eco, between Urban and Rural ? How can we make better space and
opportunity in our (global/ national) governance models to allow for local
(culture/dreams) to foster? What is the ideal edge and mix between Local- Global,
Central- De-central,. The Quest here is: how can be multiply 100,000 times what is
today of beauty? And how can we dampen 100,000 times what is today broken and
in pain?
5. How can we maintain or bring back "Heart and Soul" in our institutionalized
organizations on “their performance drive” and with their rapid evolving technologies8.
How do we maintain humanity and human touch in our lifestyles and works?
5. And finally- but not unimportantly: how can we nurture and grow the opportunity
space to ourselves and in our Leadership to allow us on the continued journey of the
more peaceful transformations and inspirations from within- and between ourselves:
peace, human dignity and harmony with nature?
Building the Laudato Si in the Boardroom would provide and bring
“all of the above” “Home”.

Partnerships
Working with partnership and collaborations is crucial to creating the process when
transitioning to the sustainable road forward in thought and practice. We connect
our network of professionals and organizations which can provide knowledge,
methodologies, reporting, consulting, business models, services, sharing best
practices, coaching and inspiration.
This helps create and support building the roadmap towards sustainability.

Senior Advisors
The team has developed and continues to develop relationships with key and senior
heads in UN, Country, Business and Sustainable Development community and
Academia. Our plan is to invite these more senior members9 to join our senior
advisory and steering board once the early organisation is established and more
proven

Milestones,
Scope 1- Key Milestones and Objectives
Milestones and Objectives
We see the following time-line, organisation and working collaboration:
1. Agreement
a. Laudato Si (seed) working program and plan agreed.
b. First seed payment received (donation/ grant) – 100 k USD
c. Early and extended team members agreed and committed
2. First Stage10 (90 days) – Framing the Pilot- January - March 2018
a. Review Brief, and collection of relevant input documentation (external/internal) – and
for the working group and the process to proceed. Organizing the team.
b. Workshop Opportunity Framing (Road-mapping) a selection of possible concrete and
specific demonstrators/pilots)- including but not limited to:
Identification of Strategic Values11 and Early Wins, Red-lines, Deal-breakers and
into the Formation Process.
Defining the early outreach objectives and programs
Identification of a long-list/short-list of possible and relevant demonstrators/ pilots-
and pertaining to the relevant strategic objectives and selection criteria12.
First round of internal/external interviews- testing our approach, early insights and
working proposals
c. Preparation into next stage
3. Pilot demonstration Stage: Into Formation (of demonstrator/pilot): start March 2018
a. Into Formation: preparation and organisation (invitation) of first pilots and
demonstrators
b. Delivering the Pilots/ demonstrators
c. Evaluation & Review
d. Preparation and Framing of Step-Up plan and Next round of Organisational
development

12 Typically- the Energy, Oil & Gas, Chemical, Industry, Finance sector
20. 20 | P a g e
Budget
We seek and would welcome an initial donation (grant) of some 100,000 USD+.
This will allow us to- a first year operation, and will allow us to:
- Organize the team
- Frame and define the first pilot workshops
- Deliver 2 to 3 pilot demonstrators- on locations.
Following our successful delivery of this first seed, we will seek to step-up and grow
this initiative into a sustained program and organisation.
21. 21 | P a g e
Argumentation demonstrating how the model meets the delivery
criteria
Criteria Value Observations
1. Core Values Laudato Si in the Boardroom matches with UN SDGs and Global
Needs:
Peace, Prosperity and Harmony between People and with
Nature
2. Capacity of impact and transformation Dedicated and inspired outreach programs (“Laudato Si in the
Boardroom”) attended by selected leadership from Business,
Science, Government and Civic community (round-tables).
- for leadership transformation & decision making
3. Effectiveness New “Laudato Si in the Boardroom” pilot organization(s) allows
to start from fresh, set-up and learn from best practices in
leadership transformation, industry (round-tables, decision
review boards, business and political agenda, delivery platforms)
and government on delivery and decision making effectiveness.
Based on interventions and selective outreach: guided by the
spirit of Assisi and our insights- and seeking impact with our
times and efforts.
4. Financing Great organizational form to allow for public-private
partnerships – in the finance of projects and programs. The
Laudato Si in the Boardroom is not only to discuss or deliberate
on global/ regional business practices or issues- but may also
become instrumental in the conceptualization and realization
and delivery of (NEW) UN SDG (societal) impact programs.
5. Trust & Insight Strenghtened by the words of Pope Francis and his Encyclical-
we build a first demonstrator of what we believe may be a solid
organizational road ahead.: Building and connecting
transnational, cross-border, regional bridges (between business,
science , civic society and policy makers) of program delivery and
new decision making.
6. Flexibility The beauty of the “Laudato Si in the Boardroom” concepts is to
start from scratch, and to allow us to attune to the direct needs
in the markets: realizing UNSDGs/ Paris Climate Change
Agreement – on location, in the trade relations, and across the
various institutionalized silo’s that may be.
22. 22 | P a g e
7. Protect against the abuse of Power You can’t run, if you do not know how to walk. With the help of
Best Practices from the Franciscan Order and Executive
leadership development centers- we will inspire this new
organizational center with its situational setting, credit and
credibility on its neutrality, independence, organizational
effectiveness, efficiency, can-do and tone of voice.
Our task is to develop the organization, faculty and leadership
delivery programs that are truly “in the spirit of Pope Francis
Encyclical”. By making use of Servant Leadership values- and a
smart fellow-ship program for political and business leadership –
with further making use of an Oversight commission from the
Elders and the Church- we can build a Laudato Si in the
Boardroom as no other.
8. Accountability As we learn to progress and develop programs within Laudato Si
in the Boardroom – new mandates and accountabilities for its
organization will naturally develop.’-and other regions will see
inspiration and may follow-suit.
9. Regions The proposed format is essentially and directly directed towards
a regional evolved delivery apparatus.

We kindly invite you to briefly study referenced example materials, - to familiarize yourself with some
of the possibilities -“width, extent and the depth” in this scope proposal:
In some very simple terms:
We fully underwrite the smart possibilities and informality that (independent) “safe, secure and a little
more sacred” master classes, (open conversations, classrooms, experience based workshops, events)
– in and between business leadership and trans-national trading parties.- can bring.
These better form of “(experience based) classes” can become a true source of potential and initiate
“a fresh new breath” – in and between the new or incumbent parties and partners- across and
cultures, and can be instrumental in helping to foster some new grounds, some new trust, inspiration
and imagination, some new readiness, and positive willingness for decision making for good
business to proceed.: especially “on the edge and bridge”- between Energy Architecture
development & UN SDGs.- between Country, Business and UN.
Between the East and the West, the North and the South.
Not naïve, neither idealistic- but rather real.
We believe that our combination and program orientation- with FAN and EFOW practice13 is and can
be uniquely positioned “to open some new doors”, to create “some new forms and formats on
outreach”14, to build “cross- border, cross-sector collaborations and impact” and to help to foster “the
tone of voice and the leadership values” that are relevant for the changes and opportunities we may
need, or seek
As such- we can demonstrate our abilities and “ice-break, organize and rain-make”- for better
business to proceed.
Since our inception in 2012, we've consistently build and produced new creative forms and formats
for Executive Leadership Education, Outreach and Leadership Transformative Programs that
genuinely are inspirational and nudge (foreign and) mainstream corporate and government

administrations towards the better collaborative ways, projects and goals - you may also aspire to
seek.
We feel confident, that together with you, we can co-create outreach workshops, events, or learning
platforms – and with a different tone of voice- across countries and business communities- and that
will immediately benefit the business and project opportunity scope and attract and inspire.
As such- we are very much excited to work with you- and see this this to be.
A simple “stepping stone” would be to test this in your company (workshop, master class) , and/or to
test deliver a pragmatic seed or pilot at (different) events or on locations.
