Intangibles connectivity - explanation CLUES THAT BECOME LAWS OF THE MAP

This is the first of a series (in process of editing for the book The Map that Changed the World). By the time you have read the book we promise these clues will become natural rules of how value is trasparently organised. If you cannot wait, you can always chat with an author

Multidisciplinary knowledge flows and transparent behaviours drive our age of intangibles productivity. Human connectivity is the core power of networks and the adept creator of trust.

Stakeholder mapping 

Stakeholder mapping- explanation

Please complete: Our Current Poll on Voice of a Stakeholder: Vote for a) or b) in this poll. Imagine you bring a future pensioner’s demand to the reason why you invest in shareholdings in companies and you have two choices:

a) companies whose leaders believe our purpose is to care about continuously improving what customers uniquely want next from us through an organisational system which motivates and rewards employees for making the best use of their knowledge and service capabilities and by compounding such value connections between people seeks to maximise what we return to shareholders who are loyal to us for 5 years or more

b) our focus is to do what it takes to raise the share price in the short-term

Which would you choose?

_____________________________________

2) Tell us what is the simplest question for investigating why and what value an organisation produces. We will feature a range of suggestions below. For example:

What would the world (and humanity) uniquely miss if this organisation did not exist?

Leadership valuation 

We are often asked how to make The Map Better?

WE MUST keep listening to feedback from every passionate member of our Community of Transparency Practitioners. Our networks must connect the dialogue between those who know most because they are closest to need, and those who can do most because they lead investors and people dedicated to serving the unique purpose of the company.

We must also link politicians and other representatives of Society who licence the organisational system of being, especially the top 50 global ones that rival nation states in the economic power they wield. And as our communal duty is to inspire others with the ideal of transparency. we will communally shape the global economic and humanitarian climate, with particular focus of how innovatively productive our children help us to sense we must be as we become all increasingly interconnected in the responsibilities of our actions and the cultural ways we can learn from each other.

Meanwhile, here is VERSION 0 of an iterative series of replies from the mathematician who spent 2 years redrawing the map until it fitted the system dynamics inputs of all the experts we have interviewed.

Mathematicians aim to develop a standard that is complete enough for applied people to make simpler and simpler. I am reasonably happy that’s the stage the map has reached. How could we make it simpler to use? That’s the question I most want to hear testimonies and contributions on. Areas we know we must search the world for are:

-Links that represent human demands of every stakeholder segment.

Regarding employees: the networking world changes so much that organisation and employee needs will be in continuous flux for many years. We know that organisations tend to have inertia’s rewarding old habits too well and not designing in the rewards for the people who could most help them lead the future of their market whilst respecting the company’s founding leadership. Where are the best work 2.0 catalogues of employee needs?

Regarding shareholders: we know pensioner shareholders have not been represented by numbers men as transparently as must now urgently be put into place. Where are the best ideas on what leaders will next need to embed into their organisation if capitalism is to regain trust?

Regarding Society : we know that the poor world is in desperate spirits and global corporates have not promoted their poor world’s causes with real actions. Who is truly resolving this conflict given that it requires both patience and urgency while organisations relearn how to promote what the world expects of responsible leadership? We invite grassroots activists to get trained up on the map so that they can network focus their demands most productively. We seek to provide such training at cost.

At more mundane levels:

We know we must keep cataloguing the simple truths of mapping relationship integrity so that it gets easier and easier for companies to see how natural the map is for growing value connections between all their stakeholders.

And we know there are parts of the map that need further computerisation, so for example the win-lose analysis pattern could be zoomed into at any level of detail. Equally, the cost of ASPing this dynamic system is little more than what accountants spend just on paper when they do a quarterly audit. Such is the true advantage of the new technology for those who map to change the world.

since then citizen networks connecting around Dr Yunus have been multiplying extraordinary collaboration exponentials around the planet

between 1997-2006 banking for the poor shot up from 11 million customers reached to 100 million; today green energy jobs in bangladesh are rocketing up from 1000 to 100,000 by 2012- and the same franchise could open in anywhere with sunshine; since 1996 grameen solution partners have become the world's most successful at ending digital divides and with the launch of yunus future capitalism book in jan08 - the chances to emulate with internet for the poor over the next 7 years what banking for the poor has done in the last 7 years look limited only by human imagination and sharing maps of how to get connected- let's do it with yunus pop group acsting the you can hear me now theme song with universal records amplifying the good news of a win-win-win www

stories on mathematical errors that can extinguish, or if corrected sustain us all

story 1

in response to a dialogue on natures rules at facebook: yes there are experiments that biologists do that show what happens as cells grow cycle after cycle. Once the space starts to get crowded nature's rule of selection is to kill off the biggest and least collaborative cell - literally the other cells partner to kill the most greedy cell off

It would be a pity if we design globalisation in such a way that the human race becomes the dinosaur. I am not at all sure that the American education system lets children know about this. Of course the same could be said of many big professions which seem to have mastered the spread sheet in ways that compound the most unsustainable mathematics of orgnanisational performance that could possibly be audited.

There is good news in that if all the least sustainable sytems man is designing are connected by one common mathematical error: Change that maths - simple for Microeconomists like Dr Yunus to map http://planetmicro.blogspot.com - and we can start a sustainable worldwide era

Who says its impossible to have thriving negative carbon economies

Back in 1984 an overwheming majority of scientists interviewed for our future history expected solar photosynthesis to be the main energy source by 2008

So its good news that Bangladesh already has a proven solar system that any sunshine state can use- and create 100000 green jobs with What is dismal news is that leaders of London's South bank have serially blocked a peoples theatre showing what photosynthesis can do. Originally the french word entrepreneur (between take) referred to guillotining those who enslaved ordinary people's freedom to produce - off with their heads now seems at least metaphorically how Londoners should greet south bank exhibition committees

letters about launch of sustainability investment book - trillion dollar audit mapping

letter to co-author: Alan - hope your holiday was successful in spite of your annus horribilis - I desperately need a phone call from you to make sure we have got the simplest microeconomics script of trillion dollar audit mapping

alan-

books title of sustainability investment - mapping trillion dollar productivity expoenentials-

needs something that can go to yunus with dvd10000 - reaching dhaka end of august

it can be very: easy short article or set of slides - doubtless too simple for macroeconomists to want to understand- so let's write it that everyone else who isnt overtrianed in their vodoo science can dialogue it

macrobanking is now known to have lost order of trillion dollars due to one compound folly subprime

in the same global sector the free market of microbanking - micriocredit between 1996 and 2006 lifted access to end of poverty from 10 million households to 100 million worldwide - clearly a multi trillion dollar increase n world weath created by and for the oorest

but that is only one exponential that 100,000 Bangladeshi servants of microcredit have deeply innovated and then communally compounded

since 1996 they have achieved the most effective end of digital divides in a nation with mobile phones -worldwide this sort of mobile use already adds a trillion dolars of extra productivity

in parallel they have tested out how to make the rural economy of bangladesh carbon negative, a replicable worldwide franchise clearly creating a trillion dollars of productivity as soon as other sunshine states replicate their system

and then with the nobel prize for yunus and his 7 m,illion sustainability investors (bank femal members) and the open sourcing of the social business model - the one that creates positive expoentials such as the 3 demonstarted above, they are inviting future capitalsim of any of the 50 biggest global industry sector to discover its first unseen trillion dollars of wealth

if for example, we view nation/place governments as a global market, then clinton has declared on pbs charlie rose program that if more developing countries were served in the community the way the 100000 Bangladesh'is (25000 from Grameen do) then that's a trillion dollar gain for productivity

LIFE-CRITICAL BEYOND-CHARITY MARKETS

if knowledge for the poor started to be openly internetted, and Bill Gates has publilcy confessed in getting his degree from harvard last year that: Harvard ignored knowledge relevant to half the world and so its "mini-professors" excluded this from his understandinmg of the internet, first trillion dollars from sharing basic stuff on health (ending malaria is a trillion dollar market basically of having one nurse trained up in every vilage with pills the same way that brac/grameen since the mid 1970s created the trillion dollar infant market of ending death by dyssentry, something which incidentally killed off the founder of The Economist before his time in calcutta of the 1860s while trying to end raj/empire macroeconomics and replace it with micro entreprneur economics),

.. education, water ... are all easily trillion dooalr gains for productivity

how simple does this argument need to be before we write something that invites the world - and youth - to celebrate humanity's entrepreneurial flows and the pen exploration of positive exponential mapping

also, if you can help me add mentoring stories on how people on a lifetime mission can get onto trillion dollar mapping service of the poorest at http://yunusmentors.com , and you can help me track month 8 on of future capitalism by telling me what stories to add to the map at http://yunuspartners.com and http://grameenenergy.com

letter to Alan Webber

I have met Dr Yunus 5 times this year and am piloting a project that empowers a dialogue among 10000 youth- enabling them to explore job creation and the next trillion dollar market to co-create. Grameen has already planted the trillion dollar markets of: microcredit end digital divides- micromobile

micro-energy : any sunshine rural economy can be carbon negative as is now known at http://grameenenergy.com

its future capitalism dialogue invites the 50 biggest global market sectors to join in seeing their own trillion dollars of unseen wealth

our project authorised by yunus at pilot stage putts the greatest story videos every told in youtube format into one dvd, printing 10000 copies, distributing them to freshers and where youth are together for year long social action learning

Is this the sort of game you would want to join in? Do you have a video you could give us

Resources: First1000 Bookclub free members still open mail map@smbaworld.com ; download open model definitions from the book; web of smbaworld; dhaka & paris open first peer to peer SMBA Uni


SOCIAL BUSINESS IQ TEST

One of the most interesting subquestions is how do social business models end up serving quality at 10 times less cost than any city slicker brand has ever done in its so-called free market

http://brand.blogspot.com exponential secret number 1 is train the local community to be the service workers instead of some profession above the community which over time demands ever more fees

exponential secret number 2 is multiple channel pricing - come and collect the product like water from our clean source you can have it at cost 1; if you want it delivered to your bedside in a fancy branded bottle singing I am sponsored by the greatest olympics sportsman and the only one for fashionable people, expect to pay 10 times more

exponential secret number 3 is empower open knowledge on vital maters particular those that prevent risk compounding on to the most digitally divided

sadly there are other secrets too- like if your product is conventionally served by global government to government aid then by the time the service trickles down to the community in greatest need 90% of charity will have gone to the distribution costs, and worse the corruption (or katirinaesque blindness going on at the top) in failing to come clean about that may make it very dangerous for anyone who truly wants to serve the poorest of the poor to complain- this dismal 21st century lack of free market has been called white man's burden- one of its centres of practice still seems to be the world bank, more usa epicentres come with conditional aid, and this will continue to be so while the biggest public media of them all the BBC fails to do any investigation of this or other compound banking disasters.

    9 minutes From the first video Collaboration Cafe with Dr Yunus, Booktour launch day New York 23 jan 2008 -

    Day after citizen response video

     

     

     

    =============== longer version

    Q1 what are the different ways social business generate sustainable revenue 2 List 3 of the ways that social businesses have often managed to innovate a 10 time lower cost model without sacrificing product safety than anything previously seen in rich city markets 3 True or False – A social business strategist is usually more concerned with competing with own model to ensure sustainability of service to the poorest of the poor than with other social business 4 Social business models are often prepared to start small whilst being confident of expoentially scaling up. How long did the world’s most highly valued social business franchises originally take to compound exponential lift off *3 months *1 year *3 years *over 5 years 5 Which of these elements is essential to the type 1 definition of social business as defined by Dr Yunus

    *generating sustainability/positive cashflow

    *not paying and dividends

    *charitable donation – ie not paying back start up capital

    6 True or false – type 2 social business model could be described as what the most innovative privitisations were intended to do when the concept was first popularised in The Economist

    7 Dr Yunus believes that free market use of technology for the poor could now be as vita as free market o banking for the poor- name 4 of the microeconomics worlds he priorities social business experiments in

    8 True Or false : Social Business is part of a series of open source system maps that Dr Yunus has given to improve choices for human sustainability, but the potential of each to end poverty depends on not changing any of the key rules defined by each map just as chnaging a rulke in chess would lead to while new ballgame!

    we believe the answers are as follows:

    A1 From customers – this often needs a 10 times cheaper model From transfering gov’s taxes from public service above the community to in the community From being a corporation’s partners in innovating something humanity needs From operating a better franchise to a billionaire philanthropist than a charity model By developing a hi-trust community bank From multiple win-win-wins with society A2 Creating new skilled jobs in the community by training up the poorest young women to deliver them

    Not having any waste in advertising or channel costs

    Exponentialising a flow of win-win-wins in which more and more positive behavious by employees, customers, lawmakers make the service simpler or more efficiently scaled

    A3 True – if a social business sustainably serves the poorest of the poor –and assuming local goodwill is already being maximised- its unlikely there will be that much to improve compared with other desperately needed services

    A4 Over 5 years

    A5 1 and 2 not 3 A6 yes type 2 social business model is congruent with the aim of improving services to te poorest when a public system had consistely failed to improve; however this is not how most privitisations were actually systemised in the west!

    A7 microeductaion microhealth, microgovernment and microagriculture

    A8 True

    Collaboration Cafe -Can you help us host the biggest good news debate in the world

    If Globalisation is going to get better and better for humanity - eg offer more and more decent jobs in communities all round the planet - then peoplepower will need to create it. Discuss!

    In the 2nd week of July we visited Dhaka, and started a pilot project with Nobel Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus- could we find 25 short good news videos (youtube type) for university students to debate 2008/2009, join in social action diaries, and contribute to maps of Future Capitalism -which values the criteria of ending poverty at every locality to identify what is the best for humanity organisation that each global market sector can offer.

    9 of Grameen's leading entrepreneurs provided us with 7 hours of stories to edit -example the goal of creating 100000 green jobs in Bangladesh by 2012

    RSVP info@worldcitizen.tv

    Ways you can help - before end of august 2008 suggest best for humanity youtube videos (maximum about 3 minutes in length). Some examples we are sorting through at FuturesUnited

    If we get go-ahead- does your city's university youth want 500 copies of the dvd so that they can host colaboration cafe or other dialogues throughout the next 12 months and post back replies so that we can all learn across cities. Example reply to 100000 Green Job Video from Youth of Brixton London

    If your global industry sector, or nation, or community or organisational system – be it corporate, government or other – wants people to be as productive as lifetime action learning exponentials can be , then your governance systems will need to integrate entrepreneurial goodwill. This is branded and value multiplied by connecting as many as 10 coordinates of productive and demanding human relationships around unique organising purpose,- auditing every cycle how to ensure no conflicts creep in which will turn a deeply human organisation into spinning a viciously opposite creature

    Entrepreneurial truth mapping compass

    For the first 180 years that free market alumini of adam smith developed entreprenurial lens, goodwill’s exponential multiplications were well enough known by economists and society’s public servants. Then as globalisation enveloped the plant so did spreadsheeting by extracting quarterly numbers as the only primary performance goal. A huge mistake if we stand back a minute and realise that taking as much money from the world every quarter is the perfect mathematics for compounding loss of community sustainability starting with the most disconnected communities, those who are already trapped in poverty’s system failure.

    So we have a choice

    We can either map back how purposeful leaders can multiply goodwill around entrepreneurial exponentials as illustrated by mapmakers in this book or we can prolong the official doctrine of globalsiation’s first quarter century. In so doing expect more and more crashes as big gets bigger, short-term gets shorter, ever more boundaries are erected in places including those that pay themselves 400 more than the ordinary worker whilst job cutting more workers every time they extend the top’s wealth regardless of human costs for anyone else. We can behave as if money is everything and goodwill is nothing until the people pull down such systems since the truth as Andersen found out of is when you have billion dollar of business stakeholder value and zero value to society, your future is not addition’s billions plus 0 = billions, but multiplication’s billions times 0=0 Maps need extraordinarily detailed updating – as well as everyone’s communal inputs – but their actual mathematical foundation is truly very simple indeed for all people to use.

    Before we study the goodwill choice of mapping, let us examine why and how the official doctrine became so powerful that the majority of well intentioned citizens in north and west hemispheres now go along with its orders.

    2. Heresy!

    Muhammad Yunus is probably the most innovative and successful entrepreneur of our time. He’s the inventor of the biggest innovation to hit global financial services for decades – micorcredit – and the instigator of dozens of hugely successful new businesses and new business models; successful enough to win the Nobel Prize in 2006. Yet, the odd thing about Dr Yunus is that everything he’s ever done has flouted the precepts of the Official Doctrine (rule the corporation and globalisation and every worker’s performance by spreadsheeting quarterly numbers of how much money we extract quarter by quarter)

    Yunus started out as a successful young US academic with an assistant professorship at a US University. But in 1972 he returned to his homeland Bangladesh to head up the economics department of Chittagong University and when, in 1974 Bangladesh was hit by famine, he found himself working hard to alleviate the plight of the people in his locality of Jobra, by working on irrigation projects for example.

    But the more he understood about local conditions, the more he saw the inadequacy of his efforts. His epiphany came from talking to one local woman, Sufiya Begum. She worked as hard as she could to earn a little money making bamboo stools. But she could never get out of poverty. She didn’t have enough money to pay for her raw materials up front, so she had to borrow from a money lender. And the money lender’s terms meant that all the benefits of her work went to the money lender. As Yunus remarks, she was effectively a slave.

    Yunus then identified 42 other individuals nearby in a similar plight. Their total, combined debt was a paltry US$27.00. Yunus first tried – and failed – to persuade local banks to lend to these people. They had all sorts of reasons why not. These people had no collateral, no credit histories. They couldn’t even read or write, so how could they fill in the forms?

    So Yunus started lending them direct, without any collateral. And as the now famous story goes, he was stunned by the results. They paid him back, every time, on time. From this experience was built a new business (Grameen Bank), a new business model and a new movement (microcredit). Today, Grameen Bank has 7 million customers (almost all of them women) in 78,000 villages in Bangladesh, having lent out $6 billion with a 98.6 percent repayment rate.

    Yunus has since used similar approaches to expand his reach into all manner of businesses from fish-farming and health to education and telephony. There is a logic that unites these disparate initiatives. The microcredit movement started as a way to help the poor raise enough capital to be entrepreneurial: weaving baskets or weaving fabrics for sale, for example. The credit provided with them the opportunity to generate much needed income. But often it was still not enough. If someone in the family fell sick, any gains that might have been made could be used up quickly in medical treatment. Long term, without education, a family chance’s of escaping poverty are slim. But short term, the cost of sending a child to school is very high for a family scratching an existence. Without access to a telephone, a farmer would have to take his harvest to market without knowing what prices he could expect – and we would end up having to accept any offer that came along. Simple access to a telephone could give him some advance warning and some bargaining power.

    In other words, Yunus realised, there is no single magic bullet that can lift people out of poverty. Poverty is a multi-faceted beast, and to succeed you have to tackle each facet.

    In each case, Yunus sought to design a way of rising to these challenges in a way that generated new win-wins. For example, Grameen Phone enabled local villagers – ‘telephone ladies’ – to take out a microloan for a phone contract. They could then make small amounts of money hiring the phone out to other villagers for single phone calls – the farmer going to market, for example. On the basis of this simple model, by 2007 Grameen Phone was the largest tax-generating company in Bangladesh, with sixteen million subscribers. Now Yunus is working on the same idea for internet access, to bring e-health, e-education, and e-farming to the poorest rural villages of Bangladesh on an affordable, sustainable basis.

    Two years ago, Yunus started spreading his wings even further. He’s started working with a global capitalist corporation – the water and dairy giant Danone – to create a new ‘no loss’ joint venture called Grameen Danone that sells fortified yoghurts at prices the poor can afford to pay. The entire venture is designed to generate new win-wins. Http://www.danonecommunities.com is seeding new venture capitalist funds networks across Europe. As at summer 2008, Paris is very much the lead collaboration player with Grameen Veolia in water (up to 1000 times cheaper safe drinking water) and Grameen Credit Agricole and the emerging Grameen HEC SMBA. – watch this space...

    Who’s Interested in Compounding the most purposeful organisations in the world?

    Our reason for believing everyone should be is that there are absolutely no sustainability crises that human being cannot solve of we compound enough purposeful organisations. However, we know some macroeconomists find it controversial to suggests that the stockmarketed corporation should value compound purpose –as well as profit extraction - so we will leave that category of organisation to last

    1 Major philanthropists- Dr Yunus social business model is heaven made for the philanthropist as the social business dollar is continuously reinvested in the organisational purpsoe whereas charitable dollars are spent once (and then leaders have to spend more time fundraising before they can get back to purpose)

    2 Governments – if democracy is service for and by the people then it must be a no brainer that governments would want to steward organisations audited around serving communal purpose. We are happy to hear of over definitions of what governments are for before suggesting how purposeful organisations fit .

    3 Founders of new businesses. After 2 generations of surveying entrepreneurs, the number 1 advice we cab give to a founder is choose who you get finance and initially go into ownership with. We know dozens if not hundreds of founders who innovated an idea they wanted to spend their lifetime expanding purposefully. But they went to bed with the wrong financiers. The few whose idea survived at all had to close down and start up again with new ownership

    4 Charities in the midst of the problem to be served. Every charity that inspires us over the yeasr is in the midst of the problem that needs serving or solving. These grassroots NGOs are in the case of Bangladesh the world’s leading exemplars of sustainability investment. They are providing models of how every industry sector with a vital service to humanity can compound the most of this responsibility.

    FUTURE CAPITALISM? 5 This brings us to the corporation. Well there is decades of research and practical case logging (eg Drucker, Levitt, Davidson, PIMS, Collins and Porras, Kaye) that shows that long-term investors gain just as much as everyone else –eg customers, employees, societies, business partners – from organisations governed round unique purpose. But in recent years that hasn’t cut the must6ard with those professions paid to represent ever shorter perspectives of ownership. All we marketing goodwill authors http://worldclassbrands.tv dare say is that those who spend the biggest advertising budgets in their global sectors look at the new marketing value of partnering a world class grassroots organisational network (like Bangladesh’s deepest three) around the deepest social business venture your industry sector is capable of. The reputational gain appear so great in the first 6 sectors to have tried this that those who lead this media can expect to the greatest marketing dividends ever seen.

    we welcome inquiries in any of these areas – chris macrae, usa 301 881 1655 dc region chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk

    Found Maps to human sustainability: how/why we recommend valuetrue communities network around book of Yunus

    In November 07, I was sent a copy of the most amazing book. The first one I've ever seen that provides every human being and community sufficient maps to connect a sustainable world whilst making an honest living freely and joyfully. I quickly typed up Social ABCD's 10 one-pagers that seemed most useful to share with 1000 friends. Then I talked to the publisher- I will buy 1000 copies of your book as long as these 10 pages can be posted openly anywhere. The stories and maps of my 1000 friends networking adventures continues at webs such as http://smbaworld.com http://wholeplanet.tv http://futurecapitalism.tv or phone me usa 301 881 1655

    WHY I LOVE TO FREE MARKET MAPS? How about you?
    As a mathematician, my practice area since postgraduating in statistics from cambridge in 1973 has been :
  • how do we seed & openly propagate best for the world ideas?
  • in particular where huge globally branded  systems with billion dollar communications budgets start exponentially spinning destruction, how can human beings find and charter very low cost ways to intervene and change systems back to sustainability

  • This video of Dr Yunus in spring 2007 blew my mind away.
    Video Title: Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of the Grameen Bank, Muhammad Yunus, speaks at the 2007 Skoll Awards for Social Entrepreneurship. Introduction by Sally Osberg, CEO of the Skoll Foundation.
    Video transcript extract: humans are created to solve the problems ...not created to create problems; conventional wisdom tells us very little; conventional wisdom hides conventional blunders.. we have to go and hit the blunders and make the whole circle so much bigger so that we create the world we want to live in

    goodwill enough to spread worldwide: do you and your firends agree or disagree?


    At that time I didnt know that Dr Yunus was finishing off a book of maps on how to value every human quailty beings can entrepreneurially bring to serve their community and through nbetworks replicate as open franchises worldwide.  This made November 07 such an amazing suprise- one which 1000 of us are still trying to lay catch up with as 2008 hurtles forward

    Jan 08: My first week of the year was spent in Dhaka. I was hugely privilieged to meet Dr Yunus for 3 hours. We rehearsed a few sustainability golas for humanity:
    -more SMBAs than MBAs in every city
    -cataloguing every social business idea planted everywhere -
    Grameen Parenting and Partnering:
    *Danone ; microconsumer
    *Credit Agricole microcredit
    *Veolia water- microagriculture
    *Intel - internet for the poor and microeducation
    *TheGreenChildren - Pop Music for the poor and Microhealthcare
    *WholePlanet- Super-retailing's responsibility for sustaining communities wherever it develops its deepest trades

     until CEO clubs eg1 start taking notice and then every city round the planet became proud of its social busienss stockmarket http://futurestocks.tv/

    what top 20 youtube video should classes of 2008/2009 debate through their year of action learning the changes the world will most want them to lead or collaborate around

    Q&A Trillion Dollar Network Auditing

    Do you want to participate in Trillion Dollar Auditing? - Our Washington DC bureau exists 301 881 1655 to help certify open source expertise of the mapping now needed around our whole planet. Chris Macrae -about the mathematicians and economists and internationalist media explorers of macrae.tv

    When did Tn$ Audit practice begin?

    We began multibillion dollar goodwill auditing on individual organisation systems in the late 1990s. One of the first organisations we were asked to do an approximate value check on was the Andersen firm. Our value multiplication model forecast it was exponentially crashing to zero. Neither traditional accounting nor our auditors were in disagreement about: Andersen having billions of dollars of value to its business stakeholders

    Andersen having value for society that was going down to zero as it serially abused trust its commitment to society to be "true and fair"

    However our auditing's maths assumes that goodwill is ultimately multiplicative around all coordinates of the system whereas traditional accounting has for 100 years only used addition.

    Goodwill's Multiplication Flow Model Verified
    This led to inconvenient truth questioning: if one corporation can shred multibillions of goodwill so quickly: was there a risk that global market sectors might end up compounding exponential destruction in the same after you trap of goodwill valuation? Of most concern to our intercity networks and forums currently are trillion dollar sectors such as:1 2

  • media 1
  • professional Hippocratic oaths
  • superpower nations
  • rights eg to food in developing economies 1, 2
  • education
  • healthcare
  • The Mathematics of Exponentials

    Governing this requires systematically opposite information from how much money can we extract every quarter. Because human relationships spiral - either virtuously or viciously - their compound impact on the future is not linear but exponential. What's awkward about an exponential curve is that for a long time it can look linear until a tipping point is reached. Any organizational system is compounding a sustainability exponential up or down. Andersen in 1999 was just approaching its tipping point towards a downward crash to zeroisation. So were many of the dotcoms it both advised and audited. So were some top 50 globalisation economic empires it audited including Enron.

    10-Win or 10-Lose Because tense and systemic integrity of human relationships of productivities and demands is already largely invested into a system it is quite feasible to map which exponential up or down a corporation's goodwill is multiplying and approximately where on the curve it is heading. The strategy margins for maneuver a corporation can adopt are also contextually specific to where on the exponential it is.

    Trillion Dollar mapping : 100-win or 100-lose All of this now has hundreds of cases of verification at the corporation level but what about a global market sector- which is in effect a network = system**N ?

    What is Industry Sector Responsibility and Win-Win-Win Globalisation?

    These 2 mapping terms are critical to simplifying Trillion Dollar auditing. We believe in a practice of markets that sustains human development.

    For this to be the case, we define a global industry sector to be responsible if it demonstrates open transparency in not compounding the greatest future risk that sector has most knowledge or influence over onto any locality however disconnected it is, however weak its legal constitutions. Trillion dollar auditing involves openly questioning an industry about any such local concerns. Auditors are trained to detect not just "correct" answers but the style of openness that of all corporations and other entities impacting the global market. Win-win-win global means that over time the industry sector can explains how its maps ensure there are no conflicts between any 3 of the value multiplying coordinates pictured among the 10 (5 productivity flows and 5 demands). The molecular structure picture can be zoomed into at any component level - within the overall purpose being compounded by the global market are corporations and other system entities - each of which can be audited. At these subsystem levels, the left hand horizontal arrow is conventionally "management" and the right hand arrow "ownership". In some industries - eg nuclear power - you would need to go audit very small subsystems because even one with conflicts or bursts in working flows could start a chain reaction of worldwide catastrophic impact.

    Congruent Models

    Valuetrue auditing partners with flow system methods. For example, brand chartering (origin 1993) values implementation of brand trust just as much as sexy image-making. Its contextually designed around a quiz of rights to know about a corporate brand's unique purpose -its core trust=flow question : exactly who would unqiuely miss what if this brand ceased to exist tomorrow?

    Until 2008 there was no published governance model was wholly congruent with trillion dolar auditing. With immense excitement, we congratulate Dr Muhammad Yunus on the publication of the rules of the social business model. Our correspondents have been tracking the sorts of goodwill news headlines he has been waving around the world:

    DO NOW Projects - the interactive tool of MicroValuation and collaboratin cafe

    I invite people to specify do now projects and who are the first 3 people they believe are in the project team- we will find there are huge flows between projects if we are mapping collaboration truly and openly

    at the same time each project has its own deadlines, original raison d'etre, particular urgent uses by its customers or others who demanded it or wanted to contribute ideas, time, money or love to it

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=%2B%22do+now%22+OR+%22do+nows%22+%2Bchartering+%2Bbrand&btnG=Search

    this methodology of "do now " projects- how they weave together real brands locally to globally is something I researched and authored in the early 1990s; I a quite happy to give out copies of the book the next time we meet; I am quite happy to donate day's test-it tutoring groups if a few people really want to try it out on projects they are about to mobilise;

    my fieldbook argued from 15 years of earlier research of what societies need collected personally in 30 countries that if the big media professions go on the way they did in separated national markets, the worldwide would not have a good outcome- oddly the world's largest communications agency asked me to host a web debating this around 2000 while there was still dotcom optimism around but then when some of the free advice I gave them on one of the client brands modeled how it was so full of conflicts that it would go bust unless they urgently mediated change I got sent packing- and Andersen got its last 30 million dollar logo campaign before going bust

    so anyway "do now" project’s matter to me as possibly the only MICRO-organizational tool you wholly need to agree on if you are going to brand trust and not just perceptions, if you are going to interact you own entrepreneurship's flows with each other especially innovative ones which by definition mean aligning against some higher up power when the time comes not to blink- which at any one time can be summarized on one-page in terms of why we started this ; are we on our goals and on time and on budget; are we still serving those who uniquely wanted this; is our piece of the jigsaw more or less relevant now other projects are blooming too? which cherish the next big question even more than the planned answer

    I will try to reissue latest open discussion versions of 2 do now projects that it is once-in-a-lifetime critical are video makers and knowledge searched in Dhaka flow together during their next 6 weeks in Dhaka within 24 hours

    1) the youtube stories of the organizational heroines of the last 30 years of Grameen

    2) the dvd of 100 stories microcreditsummit could most share with the world so that people can see that microbanking is in everything humanly most needed and vice versa every desperate human need is somehow connected to how sustainable community banking is rooted

    there is no perfect format to writing up do now projects; however if the first 3 people in a project keep 100% on tack while still being openly curious whatever openly published aide memoire helps them do that proves its context; the idea also gains from practice by each microteam who start a project or will ever do so; but if you do have time to try it on one project you are in the middle of and share with some or all of us , I would certainly love that

    best

    Gandhi, Compound Arithmetic, & Mapping Sustainability Investment

    From Chris Macrae, q&a welcome us 301 881 1655

    Gandhi, Compound Arithmetic and Mapping System Transformation

     

    My uncle died in his eighties. He was a Barrister and then a Queens Councilor who had qualified from the Bar of London. As had his father and Gandhi. Before we move on from my uncle, his last great act was to help unseat a Lord Chancellor who couldn’t do compound arithmetic. It’s a very grave failing when a law-maker cannot do compound arithmetic because most laws compound financial consequences, often ones that chain a next generation in which even a smart lawyer – let alone one who can’t do exponential maths – has difficulty imagining.

     

    I am just a simple mathematician. But I am quite capable of thanking Einstein for his refereeing of what truly mattered about Gandhi

     

    Albert Einstein

    Mahatma Gandhi's life achievement stands unique in political history. He has invented a completely new and humane means for the liberation war of an oppressed country, and practised it with greatest energy and devotion. The moral influence he had on the consciously thinking human being of the entire civilized world will probably be much more lasting than it seems in our time with its overestimation of brutal violent forces. Because lasting will only be the work of such statesmen who wake up and strengthen the moral power of their people through their example and educational works.
    We may all be happy and grateful that destiny gifted us with such an enlightened contemporary, a role model for the generations to come.

     

     It was also Einstein who questioned whether the human race would sustain itself through the higher order integration of system needed once technology made us all more connected than geographically separated.

     

    So we reach the point where there is no point trying to sugar coat the pill that personal “be the change” agents and consciousness advocates in the West need to swallow with all due urgency. They are utterly missing the point of Gandhi’s unique contributions to system transformation when they preach to individuals that we can sustain the planet if you alone will be the change and self-organise. My grandfather and Gandhi had 25 years of face to face transformation in India through the early 20s to mid 40s.  Gandhi began this journey with an understanding that my granddad did not have. This was somewhat inconvenient as my granddad was the British Raj judge for the Mumbai region, and first met Gandhi as the accused.

     

    The system integration truth which Gandhi had worked out and rehearsed how to interact for 15 years involved a system triangle. When an empire’s command and control system is destroying the productivity and communities of your peoples, you will need to change 3 dynamics all at the same time : those of Professions, those of Media, that of Education (PME). For the first half of his life, Gandhi had vainly tried to use his professinal knowledge of the law to overthrow the system from within the system. His Eureka moment – Satyagraha 1907 – was discovery that system transformation could not be achieved by any such thing. It would need the triple revolution PME of the most human flows designed into society.

     

    What Gandhi had to do was to connect the most brilliantly creative practices of education, professional objectivity (going back to question the rules) and media innovation. People who do not study Gandhi’s diaries from this triangular mapmaking perspective are gloriously missing the point, as well as the compound consequences that coordination of this three-in-one can have. What is the whole truth for future generations that your flows through everyone can cause to converge as uncertainty of principle in the very fabric of the largest institutions and most powerful decision makers? Has your uncertainty principle got so much human common sense grounding in it that over a 25 year period you would change a judge from being your chief jailer to the guy who writes up the legalese for your nation’s independence.

     

    While Gandhi points the way – according to Einstein the only way – to sustainability of our species and wholeplanet, we have wasted the first 25 years of local going global that could have made today’s generation confident that the sustainability goal will be achievable. We must search out and share maps of how to interact collaboration squared if the last 5 years of globalisation’s exponential reversibility is to put us back on a pathway celebrating humanity for all our children. We will need one collaborator capable of networking all other truth collaborators.

     

    When the Bottom Line Is Ending Poverty
    BusinessWeek - Feb 29, 2008
    While Gandhi's goal was the end of colonialism, Yunus' is just as grand: He means to reform capitalism to make it a tool for ending poverty

     

    As of 2008, the most likely candidate as a meta-sustainability investor is Muhammad Yunus. This can be mathematically proven with valuetrue maps if maths is what you need before you will back your human intuition.
