An overview of the ThriveAbility Foundation, it's program and the ThriveAbility Approach. Shared in Boston at E&Y's offices in the John Hancock Tower with some of our founding partners.
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.

Accelerating Impact: Exploring Best Practices, Challenges, and Innovations in...The Rockefeller Foundation
Effective accelerators play many roles—educator, mentor, and funder, among others—in helping impact enterprises solve complex social problems. This report explores how accelerators and incubators support impact enterprises to better understand the barriers to sustained enterprise development and their ability to achieve scalable impact.

This working paper describes evaluation as a growth industry in rapid transformation. Given the twin challenges of increased inequality and results orientation a new generation of evaluators will have to learn to surf a social impact wave. Given the rise of emerging market countries they will be called upon to move the center of gravity of the discipline south and east. Given the complexity of development challenges they will have to replenish the evaluation tool kit. Given the advent of big data and the spread of social networking they will tap the vast opportunities of a ‘plugged in’ world. Finally given the advent of results oriented networks they will forge resilient connections between public, private and civil society actors in pursuit of collective impact.
The Rockefeller Foundation was an early investor in culture and innovation to achieve equity and sustainability – in both the environmental and field-wide senses of the term – through its NYC Cultural Innovation Fund (CIF). Created in 2007, CIF has granted $16.3 million to support 99 efforts to leverage culture to achieve social innovation.
As we prepared to launch this evaluation, it became evident that, unlike many other fields, there is not a large body of evaluative literature on the effectiveness and impact of funds for the use of cultural innovation to achieve social change. This was a finding in itself – one that we identified before the evaluation even started. More evaluations have been conducted of programs that seek to support innovation in the arts for the sake of arts, but few have examined the degree to which arts innovation funds have actually brought about the intended societal level changes.

Intended specifically for emerging economies, this guide takes lessons from around the world and addresses their unique challenges needed to build healthy, vibrant, progressive, globally competitive and most importantly, economically productive entrepreneurial ecosystems.
It’s been 3 years of visiting top industry Incubators, Accelerators, Investors, Mentors & Advisors around the EU and MENA. The mission is to learn from global players on how they Compete, Scale, Innovate, Sustain and Grow in the areas of Talent, Technology Acceleration, Government and Corporate Collaborations & Programs, and Investment. My end goal is to test, implement and validate my findings with the eventuality to opensource all the research for emerging economies.
Offers key questions to prompt the audience to consider what is a local economy; how to participate in one; characteristics of a business model and business ecosystem in a local economy; how resources flow in a business ecosystem; and, how to implement a local economy.

What's next? Moving at the Speed of Change – GALA Conference 2013Stefan Gentz
Presentation delivered at GALA Conference 2013, Miami Beach
The language business is fundamentally changing before our eyes. We keep adapting, and yet – five years from now, ten years, and beyond, the sector will continue to face new technological, demographic, and economic challenges. Although constant change is nothing new, the highly accelerated pace at which the landscape is changing requires that localization companies and teams leaders either proactively manage that change, or accept that change will happen to them. This session will discuss why every company needs professional change management as an integral part of business management. It will demonstrate how change management can fit into a management framework and why it's important not to misunderstand Change Management as Crisis Management.

Cities Charting New Directions: Metropolitan Business PlanningRWVentures
The Metropolitan Business Planning initiative, co-developed by The Brookings Institution and RW Ventures, continues to generate great interest at the local, state and federal levels. Bob Weissbourd has been presenting the concept and framework to audiences of public policy decision makers, as well as non-profit, civic and private-sector leaders both in the U.S. and abroad. Among the more recent presentations are the two below, prepared for the London School of Economics' City Reformers Group Workshop and the Brookings-hosted event, "Metropolitan Business Plans: A New Approach to Economic Growth."
• Thriveable Transformation- what are the seven steps to enacting thriveable transformation?
i. SEE - Understand Your Context
ii. FEEL - Examine Your Values & Priorities
iii. ALIGN - Align With Enabling Trends & Forces
iv. MOTIVATE - Act From Stratified Insights
v. MAP - Map Your Journey To Thriving
vi. INTEGRATE - Integrate Your Evolutionary Self
vii. DESIGN - Designing Thriveable Futures
• The Momentous Gap- closing the environmental, social, organisational and leadership gaps we currently face.
• The Great Shift- the global shift toward renewable energy, resilient habitats, enlightened enterprises, holistic governance and integral leadership
• The Momentous Leap- the global mindshift and cultureshift driving worldcentric thinking and thriveable strategies, empowered by integral leadership
• Capability Shifts- What the next generation of leadership and strategic thinking capabilities are that empower the momentous leap and the great shift. How does this reframe the meaning and purpose of strategy, design, sustainability, resilience, human development and even evolution itself?
An introduction to my own personal and professional journey in which I seek to close the momentous environmental and social gaps we face by accelerating the Momentous Leap in human development.
Of Mindshifts, Worldshifts, Capability and Culture Shifts
What would it take for our planet to thrive? Said Dawlabani posed this question to me when asking me to give a speech to the Spiral Dynamics Summit on the Future. It’s a great question, and indeed it provoked me to dig deep into my own thinking, experiences and resources to come up with an answer in the 50 minutes allotted to me. I was also fortunate to have fifteen other gifted speakers plus an audience of some seventy experienced practitioners to put some flesh on the bones of an answer to that momentous question.
My short answer to Said’s question would be:
“In order for our planet to thrive, we need to close the momentous environmental and social gaps we face, through a momentous leap. This momentous leap involves a global shift in mindsets amongst those that are shaping the future of our planet, in ways that drive worldshifts capable of closing the momentous gap, leading us to a thriving future where all life on earth can flourish. Those mindshifts, however, must also be accompanied by capability and culture shifts if they are to scale and engage those key decision makers and their stakeholders effectively. Finally, we need more effective global governance systems to emerge that support thriveable transformation.”
How can businesses create a thriving world? Robin explains how incremental and disruptive innovations within the ThriveAbility framework generate breakthroughs that ca make that happen. At the same time, this creates a new kind of competitive advantage for businesses, based on synergies that are created in their business ecosystems.
