About Valuetrue.com and Million Person Web
HI-TRUST ENTREPENEURS URGENTLY CALL FOR MEDIA TRANSPARENCY valuetrue.com was founded in 2002 to celebrate the 2nd annual meeting of medinge - this was a retreat for practitioners of global branding who believed that Naomi Klein was more correct than The Economist in the debate over whether global branding was compounding goodwill and trust all over the world, or hate and distrust including loss of responsibility and ultimately the end of human sustainability. When communicating truth becomes inconvenient amongst the majority of most powerful leaders of the world be they corporate, government, professional or in between, valuetrue economists go back to viewing the most productive and demanding videos ever made not image-ridden deviations from reality-making
Let us be clear The Economist, Naomi Klein and as far as I know everyone of 50 people I met at Medinge whilst I was co-host of this event understands that global brands are huge powers, greater than any power peoples have played with. So we understand that history shows that great power can be used to compound good or bad ends. The founding idea of valuetrue.com was to open both space and mapmaking sources for everyone who wanted to explore how can we connect transparency and media; if everyone connecting through powerful brands understood their future consequences as compound forward as exponential systems up or down, we could use all our roles as customers, communities, employers, societies as well as owners, pensioners to be, savers for a rainy day ! to ensure that the world's biggest brands compounded the most goodwill including human sustainability which in all past generations has been the number 1 valuation and need uniting our species as fitter emortonally and intelligently than any other nature has so far put in play. Morever, we can help you find a 207 year old school of living systems mapping inspired by Scots including some of my ancestors called entrepreneurial revolution - this shows that heathy empowered societies compound strong economic as well as human sustainability but not vice versa
MILLION PERSON WEB At our 2002 meeting, we agreed our first furtres projects would be to track any and every emergence of million people webs. By this we meant people connected by the net who were pledged to colaborate around some good that almost anyone in the world could indepently audit and agree as human. For example, wanting all our children to grow without dying or becoming addicted is as far as I know a simple good that every culture with any history can agree on without needing any evidence.
log 007 most exciting milion person web http://24weeks.com log up to 006 we haven't found any million person web that scaled and sustained though we have seen emerging tools such as http://pledgebank.org. And recently for the first time in many years, world class brands has been able to identify some brand systems such as grameen (see our tracking of this at http://grameen.tv) which unite hundreds of millions of peoples in sustainability investment

Somewhere around the 8th grade (much sooner if you were in a ninenow school) , you need to start serius practice as a cafe host
A one hour cafe invites a roundtable of people to come and join in only if they are urgently concerned by the same specific challenge. Once you are at 12th grade as a cafe host, anyone famous for humanity visiting your town and relevant to your learning should be a target of your networks' and your own cafe hosting capability
It takes practice, but remember it also tests out how supportative all you co-mentoring peers and networks are. So its a practice that win-wins all around the network of 12th grader alumni
Here's an example: suppose I know the man who has done more across the South American continent than any other to share actions people can take to keep water clean and free as a human right, and that he's visiting London where my home networks happen to intersect. For example this man encouraged the Catholic Church to make 2004 the year of water in Brazil and animated water conversations through its 7000 local parishes. Or he can tell you how 80000 children of the river basins of Foz (the world's largest dam) are assembling the most interesting curriculum on water for every grade from 1 to 40!, its waves, its nature, how all health is sustained by its cleanliness, how its system knows no boundaries that men or nations set, how water networks! So I ask myself and my co-mentors and all the networks we link through who are the 10 people most interested in the future of water who might want to meet this man in a one hour cafe. We send them invitations. From those who do not reply, we find out may be they weren't that deeply interested anyhow. From those who say great but not at that hour, we say well let's connect you to our S.American friend by email. And among those who come to the cafe, we hope to find one projjevct that unites London as a premier knowledge collaboration city around the world and with Brazil in particular.
So that's what you can do if you practice 12th grade email and cafes. If this sounds interesting, I am always here to swap notes - chris macrae wcbn007@easynet.co.uk |
