Business Week Has Named Dr. Yunus as One of "The Greatest Entrepreneurs of All Time" Yunus, the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner, founded a banking system 30 years ago to lend small amounts of money to the rural poor in Bangladeshi villages. Most of the low-interest microloans go to women, who use them to start their own profit-making enterprises, mainly in agriculture, crafts, or services.
Grameen Bank now has 2,422 branches, employs more than 20,000 people, and has loaned more than $6 billion since its founding. Borrowers own most of the equity in the bank. The company has been profitable in all but three years since it was founded. Key takeaway: Yunus imagined what would happen if a bank extended credit to those people who would never traditionally receive it. In the process, he created a system that empowered the poor by helping them become entrepreneurs.

: beam us up a link to your bio to join the guides of WE.net - NM CM The innovation must result in a product or service of world-class quality. The innovation must achieve a significant price reduction — at least 90 percent off the cost of a comparable product or service in the West. The innovation must be scalable: It must be able to be produced, marketed, and used in many locales and circumstances. The innovation must be affordable at the bottom of the economic pyramid, reaching people with the lowest levels of income in any given society.

Why do multinational corporations find it hard to embrace these approaches? The answer may lie in the dominant logic of successful companies: the business practices that have been successful in the past, the mind-set tied to those old practices, the internal evaluation systems that reinforce this mind-set, and the daunting problem of lack of experience in the new way of operating. The zone of comfort drives away the zone of opportunity. If managers believe that 80 percent of humanity is “too poor to pay for our products and services and is not part of our target market,” then a new offering at one-fiftieth the price of the current offering, made without sacrificing quality and at the same time ensuring the company’s profitability, looks at first glance like an impossible task. So those managers assume that the idea will be impossible; instead, they make minor changes to existing products and business models, start endeavors that often fail, and conclude from those failures that success was indeed impossible

somewhere along the last 207 years, it sounded so great to be called an entrepreneur that everyone who was "sucessful" whether by goodwill means or badwill called themselves entrepreneur people had to start adding adjectives like Bill Drayton's SOCIAL simply to reaffirm that they committed to true systemic and socially sustain ing purpose, as well as transparency in every relation they interacted (more details on the socialE branch follow below the Clinton feature) SEARCH: let's find a top 20 or truth adjectives for entrepreneurs - for example media entrepreneurs like google; philanthropy entrepreneurs ; government entrepreneurs (an adjective my hero Sir Nick Stern uses); as these 20 start to become clear in searches. Q 1 : now that Skoll's Participant Productions has won oscars for Inconvenient Truth - do you vote for a category People's Media Entrepreneur? Who else might we include - eg Oprah Winfrey's reality tv program for philanthropy entrepreneurs Q 2 : Looking at how Clinton Global Initiative has connected Gore with Climate publicity venture entrepreneurs like Branson and Khosla; and how ted.com found Larry Brilliant the job of google.org most linked person; and in view of collaboration debates across world cities- do we need a category for the world's most vital partipication summits? - if so do we call it global village entrepreneur? |

WEIRD 21st CWORLD If we asked: WHO are the greatest sports stars of the last few decades? everyone would happily start debating answers? If we ask, who's helped the most children to survive or made the world a safer or more sustainable place, the most common response would be "I don't know". Well here are some candidates: A) Microfinance Transformation Story: explores the compass of social entrepreneurship which has most advance group entrepreneurship -so most mosaics (if we can list them and make them as popular to participate in as sports) can gain from benchmarking microfinance's 30 years of franchising lessons -knowledge-open networks will keep searching for microfinance dvds and core stories at http://grameen.tv B) BRAC Transformation Story: has identified or will identify whole catalogue of SE projects combinatorially needed in specific nations to sustain the world's poorest childrens and families and the form of governance by and for the people which provides public service to those with most life sustaining need for public service and does this in the communities. Its the nearest to Gandhian democracy yet systemised. It has also found ways to finance this that keeps it independent of top down governments or pressure-agenda philanthropists - will keep searching on people's privatization stories at http://brac.tv - it is interesting that Prime Minister Mamohan Singh's economic thesis at Cambridge of 1950s was on this subject. Fascinating to see the 2 types of Africa Progress panel race : 5 Muslim Africa countries announced by BRAC at ClintonGlobal; Gates sponsored and Transparency Eigen edited official Africa Progress Panel interacting with UN Global Compact and G8 channels as jury on their promises. Yunus : Grameen Microfinance; Abed :BRAC; Eigen: Transparency International; Drayton ashoka social entrepreneurs and changemakers. (We loved to be guided by your nominations.) Both A & B fuel innovation of the public (world service) broadcasting story the "bottom-up of the world's development solutions need far more voice than the last half century's top down ones as the only way of looking at development. development sustains as micro>inter>macro not other way round ; so does worldwide networking around sustainability which can be mapped as development**2 C) Transparency Transformation story: is in most need of simultaneous group (social network) entrepreneurship (2 year window of opportunity for planting foundations for all millennial goals) for 2 types of reason. Hard transparency (eg make corruption history) is pretty well essential for any of the global academy methods to sustain progress, or at minimum corrupt places very much impede the progress of SE as well as the trust needed for Group SE. The 2nd type of reason involves lost transparency which is where economics or systems compound loss of sustainability and are ultimately being measured/governed so as to compound the big get bigger or the speculative get more speculative -more at www.valuetrue.com D) Ashoka SE story: "companies and other constitutions that don't get the new strategic advantage of partenring SE networks will be blindisded" Potentially SE extends every other application mosaic societies need; and maps how partnerships of different organisational typologies can transform what neither of the 2 biggest 20th c systems global for profit corporation, top-down national gov in 2-party squabbling environments randomised every 4 years. -more at http://worldcitizen.tv | An interesting question children and the world can ask economists is : What are 5 humanly sustainable and most revolutionary frmeworkss have economists and entrepreneurs have ever systemised?
What follows is my attempt to answer this looking through 200 years of literature my father specialised ( including an entrepreneurial revolution trilogy first 2 parts published in The Economist 1976 , 1982 – third which I co-authored as origin of the future history genre: “will the first globally networked generation sustain or destroy our world) in is as follows. Of course I love both questions and suggested corrections:
1 SYTEMIC ENTREPRENEURIAL MAPS (Origin of The Entrepreneur and Free Markets 1770-1840 – mainly 3 people’s learning – Adam Smith , JB Say, James Wilson). Revolutionary new industries need to be system-designed transparently to exponentially sustain and multiply up the inputs of 3 types of resources A*B*C: A human beings lifetime exponentials, specifically those (individual, families or micro-social network2) who put the longest into trying to make a difference within that sector B sustaining societies who put the most of their environmental, educational or other cultural exponentials into the industry sector C Those who invest Cash and obtain some licence to own subject to true and fair leadership behaviours
1.1 Interestingly the entrepreneur stewards the whole system and so is not just in one of these 3 camps. His or her aim is to value multiply sustainability exponentials. He would usually be well advised to sustain hi-trust by communally living the deepest love for what the sector could benefit humanity around whilst keeping enough of each type of flow up his sleeve in case the environment proacts change. Nature's Change Keys require any system, however perfect, to transform. This usually doesn’t cost a lot of money provided you get the timing right to innovate and understand multidimensional changes that can happen (eg ever more so in a networked world we ked into)
ENTRPRENEURIAL REVOLUTION er100.blogspot 2 A study of all the greatest breakthrough innovations that the industrial age achieved up to the mid 1970s shows that contrary to media and other beliefs, big corporations seldom initiate the inventions humanity treasures most. It’s usually a handful of passionate people (or their family trees) and it is seldom if ever groups who patent before they interconnect. John von Neumann echoed a lot to say about this as one of the grandfather’s of computing which you can see in my dad’s biography of Johny.
INTRAPRENEUR 3 A debate on: is service economy going to require revolutionary different management systems than industrial corporations used to admininstrate showed convincingly 1982: yes. The value multiplier of service economies is franchises that teams both invent and sustain emotionally energy flows through. Such teams need empowering not bossing. Moreover a customer in a service sector knows exactly how a boss treats an employee by the way the employee treats the customer. The service entrepreneurial triangle is micro- connect the lowest employee (the one who is most likely top get complainst from cutsomers) to inter -those fussy customers whose deep need of the service is most in line with waht future society will demand macro: how all future societes integrate round the globalisation of that sector
Social (micro) Entrepreneurs*Global (inter) Village Entrepreneurs*www open (macro) media and learning net Entrepreneurs 4 A debate opened in 1984 and rehearsed ever since is can learning networks multiply value in use instead of getting consumed up when the sector is thing based? If so we can trash economics of scarcity and move up to economics of sustainable abundance. This question connects to:: how will the first generation to be more connected than geographically separated cope with sustaining or destroying this and other new value multipliers. One recommendation as early as 1984 was by 2010 we would needed to have mapped out 30000 social entrepreneur projects and these should be propagated through broadcast as well as new interactive media so everyone could choose and see which of these open source solutions for interlocally sustaining basic human rights work where.
WORLD CITIZEN – ORGANISATION TYPOLOGY 3.0 5 I will leave this to another time because unless you understand either Gandhi or Einstein or the way 10 year old children question the world, I don’t have the wordsmithing power with this medium to describe it. Its about how 4 world citizen networks already multiply more future value than any global market sector you can name because they wholly sustain each other’s greatest innovations for humanity and open source this through a governance quite unlike that which Arthur Andersen would have chained your organisation to. Also, you can look through the 16 dvds of world social entrepreneur champions and the BBC for Business video on how to brand for nothing the causes that human beings wish to share most even whilst billion dollar image brands steal 99.9999% share of all our voices. This is at the free library which has been started in London. Or if you live somewhere else worldwide we suggest you have a look at Bill Drayton and some of his team speaking at google.org because they live 5 more openly and transparently than any Londoners yet knows how. I am sure we catch up if we trust each other to do so.

Generations of macrae's 1 2 3 4 and scottish friends have interviewed thousands of entrepreneurs and innovative families. In our experience the most essential question to ask probes 3 ways in one: what's grounded or grassrooted about the way your systemised entrepreneurship, how did it interconnect and link interactive participation, and how did it scale to be best for the world.
We will try to analyse every case we profile in this way. Consider BRAC which we find such an exciting case that we are preparing a whole tv web of scripts on it and how to partner this the world's largest citizen organisation. BRAC's purpose in life is give the world's poorest children in rural areas such as B angladesh where it started both life and a chance to make the most of life. Without BRAC's health care franchises 10% of the world's poorest children die before the age of 5. Without BRAC's informal primary school, the surviving poor children would often miss getting any education. Fazle Abed is the founder of BRAC. You can see dvds of him explaining that whilst "small may be beautiful" scaling large is also absolutely essential in B angladesh. One of the first discoveries BRAC made nearly 30 years ago was that the largest killer of infants in poor rural places was dehydration. They experimented with a rehydration solution which turned out to cost only a few cents per child's life. Having tested this in various communities with at least as much care as a pharmaceutical company, BRAC assumed it would give the solution to the Bangladesh government and public serva ts. It turmed out they did not have the capacity to take this solution to every village in Bangladesh , so BRAC had to scale up to do this. At the same time BRAC also learnt one vital grounded lesson. The oral rehydartion solution was as much a mother's educational package as a medical solution. It was vital to have the oral rehydaration service available as and when needed in each rural community. So vi;lage nurses resident in each commu ity were developed. BRAC specifically warns that when it comes to serving the very poorest one of the great traps is to evolve a profession (or a public servant) which over time sees themselves as wanting to progress above the communities they serve as opposed to being vocationally integrated into the community. This clue explai s why democatic public servants often fail over time to serve or structure public service to sustain those in most vital need even though theoretically this is the first duty of a democracy, and a core raison d'etre of public service.
Correspondence with this web:
Retail: An "optimal" enterprise model may be to bring together the JohnLewis brand consortium of staff with a consortium of customers as in Coop - all within a form of incorporation (eg the UK's LLP) that permits the integration of all stakeholders' right to be mapped transparenctly through time. Any necessary capital comes from selling gross revenues forward to "Capital Partner" investors/customers.Such a model should wipe the floor with any conventional commercial enterprise, because it would not have to pay returns to either Banks, or "rentier" shareholders: the Coop movement calls this the "Cooperative Advantage".
WEN replies:
As the leading UK retail brand: John Lewis is a nice example of a company that has never been unbalanced by share-owners, unlike former reatil champions Marks and Spencers and John Sainsbury's which lost the integrity oh their whole system map after generations of compounding everyone's goodwill around it.

The process by which plants extract energy from sunlight, using that energy to build up complex compounds from simpler ones and thereby storing the energy which animals, including humans, use to grow and move and see and think is the life-process itself. We (human beings) have always exploited that life-process, but in the past we have only been able to do so by using living plants as our agents. We learned to cultivate them, develop them by selective breeding, and since the 1980s to meddle with their genes, but we have not yet learned to substitute something of our own making for the living plant. We have not found or made a more efficient substitute for chlorophyll itself outside the naturally-occurring factory which is the living cell. Until we design our own systems which can deploy the energy of sunlight as efficiently as humble algae does, we humans have no real biotechnology of our own. We have many kinds of solar cells which can extract energy from the sunlight and store is as electricity or heat, but such devices are very crude indeed beside the technical sophistication and versatility of living plants. We are making a determined effort to capture and use a greater fraction of the solar energy which falls upon the face of the earth every day. We are trying to make plants flourish in paces where at present they can only eke out the most precarious of existence. The ideal situation, however, would be one in which we did not need to work so hard to adapt existing plants to more hostile conditions. If we had our own artificial systems of photosynthesis we might exploit the desert sun ourselves, without using other organisms as intermediaries. Our ultimate ambition must be to make artificial photosynthetic systems more efficient than those which have evolved alongside side us throughout the history of life on earth. Then and only then will |
I am wondering whether what we need to do is set up a foundation so that instead of planting trees , people who want to make amends for their own carbon footprint can have the architectural choice in investing in roofs that get photosynthesis energy born and growing Does anyone want to debate this collaboration idea until its practised? and if so what are its inspirational dimensions: -demonstrating that for many localities seeing a solaroof (twin skin that climatises external temperature to internal human comfort and stores energy exchnaged for local redistribution using algae as the living roofs conversion catalyst -or however you describe simplest solaroof) is more vital than seeing an extra tree ?setting up a foundation
?mapping what networks anywhere believe in photosynthesis- eg help us do this at http://oxbridge.tv ?translating and simplifying so there is a guide for teachers from 10 years up which shows how the systems of energy, sun, water and clean soils are all interconnected; can be abundant; but only if we invest in photosynthesis;sdisinvest in petroleum and nuclear; see ethanol as a transition... I am not an expert like some on this list. But I am very angry because back in 1984 scientists advised me that photosythesis was the only ssutainable way forward. My father and I wrote that up in the clearest of entrepreneurial and future hsitory stories, but powers tha be have studiously avoided openly debating this for 22 years now. This is just one of at least 20 ways that the public have been misinfromed by big veted interests to within a few years of irreversible meltdown. Photosynthesis' struggles not to be aborted are a perfect example of: will world citizen networks be empowered with non-corrupted knowledge to debate how to colaborate in sustainability before its too late. I am delighted to hear of other examples. I strongly believe that Londoners are in one of the places on this earth where citizens are free enough to ask the biog questions and collaborate in open source ways to respond to them and encourages peoples from all over the world to join in. There will never be a better time for every online Londoner to email every online DC'er. This is also the time to join in the network of 2000 people needed to free the governors of the BBC becasue every sustainability crisis of the order of going to the brink of needing to invest 1% to save 20% is the mother of all communications crises, one that having the world's largest broadcaster owned by the people should be beaming sunshines biggest questions not hiding behind bleary bushe censorship threats http://www.pledgebank.com/bbcgames If you have been lurking on this circulation list and share my intents (even if not my first focus on photosynthesis) please hit the reply button at some stage so I know that you do want to be a part of world change travel guides cheers chris macrae

Update- Year 7 of co-authoring valuetrue.com mapping book on the risks of being ruled by the world's greatest mathematical mistake
MAPPING THE WORLDS GREATEST MATHS MISTAKE
Latest correspondent with main editir of book and main global management consultant sponsors
Dear MR G & MR M - if you do not understand what I need as expressed in this email please phone me or at least rsvp saying you do not understand
thanks chris macrae , Winter 007
Bearing in mind the 15000 pounds my family has invested in his work: What I don't agree with is Mr M finishing the book first. SIMPLY 7 years on: We must have a publisher, and that needs a proposal sent out to the publisher as first priority (as well as any creative marketing if publishers have a mental block)
As I believe you know well: publishers have their own cycles; if say a book exists in June and only then do we look for publishers, that may mean (missing summer and fall (their main book conference) finding a publisher late in the year who does not want the book published to end 2008
Moreover, psychologically most publishers I have met don't like the book to appear to be completed before they contract it. Moreover these next few months are the last peak we will get at the emotional level publishers get puzzled at. We have a chance to provide the practical answer to what Sir Nick Stern is going to the LSE to spend the rest of his life writing up with academic teams - empowerment economics, something that if we revisit my father's writings from 1976 has clearly gone missing, and went into hyper-destruction with the maths of the spreadsheet ruling the world from the mid 1980s; if whomever is us president in jan 2009 (and as early as summer 007 whatever Brown ripples) is surrounded by the usual big consultants with no understanding of MAP then interventions in war, healthcare corporate transparency, development economics empowerment etc will be messed up however good the intent
Moreover you can write to a publisher now and link it in with 85th birthday celebrations of my father next year and 25th celebrations of the original world is flat, death of distance, future history and entrepreneurial revolution guidebook http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html As per the last time I was in London, if Alan has questions he wants my dad to answer or "ghost-write" as the connection between the map as the only way to get back on track to networking connectivity being good for world's future generations then I will facilitate that.
The positive side of a proposal now is that whichever of the routes you are going for, the proposal can describe them as urgent and meet a gap that publishers will perceive as missing now.
Oddly, as someone who has spent my life researching how local understanding of societal demands is integrated or not into global brand architectures and market transparency, I also feel misconstrued. My main clients are people near the top of the world's largest organisations who want to innovate for human progress as well as great sustainability investment returns, There is no conflict as soon as you know that truth leadership is about playing the game of future exponentials, while doing just enough to be strongly/financially or reputationally independent from takeover by the speculator or larger organisation that has got itself corrupted by the such as Michael Porter and Harvardian school of defensive strategy -a leadership virus that emerged around 1980.
Go back to when offensive marketing was healthy; the idea of using customers, communities or nation's societies money to invest in slowing down what innovations people need and misinforming about compound risks (and image-making over reality-making) is not what anyone who is a professional marketer, economist or professional anything should permit . The first time you ever do that, you can never systematically come back because you are a caught however unwittingly in a web of decreasing trust.
Whilst I have different views about Ken Lay, I dont think the head of worldcom was from origin a bad buy; I know the founder of Arthur Andersen was one of the most ethical professionals there has ever been. I know from reading the 100 interviews of the top people at Arthur Andersen in 1998 that they were by majority a mixture of the blind and Androids they called themselves (our clients dont want to know how we get results as long as we get them - was their leadership culture's internal mission statement)
So SYSTEMATICALLY as far as www.valuetrue.com transparency mapping can guide: if your organisation makes one systemically false step defensively, and if that is not detected and reconciled fast you don't come back. No wonder speculators have often targeted organisations with immense se historic good but infiltrated then at a time of leadership hiatus. My father knew Lord Weinstock on English GE. He was as intuitive trust-flow mapper as any British business leader. He died broken hearted as well as seeing his life's work reduced to 1% of what he had built up within 5 years of succession by what seemed to be either a very manipulative merchant bank group or letting the likes of a lookalike Nick Leeson rip. By which I mean if your system blindly give sjust one peron huge power to speculate (and then cover up in a compound way if ever just one gamble goes badly wrong) in company whatever their position, you can lose everyone's shirts even if you started with tends of billions of dollars worth of them. In some ways that true entrepreneurial alumni could easily checklist: the world's biggest ten billion dollar systems are at most risk to this. This has been serially show through history by likes of Robert Maxwell (transparency admission he once helped ruin a company I had spent 10 year helping to sustain), the early Rowntree gamble in Cocoa that lost the company its highly ethical culture to Nestle (a very odd bird of a company founded on saving babies with milk products but one where there are many mothers in the world's poorest countries who dont understand how to use the product so debatedly causing more risk to infants than is prevented)
And for example I am happy with such intros that Alan already appears to use and market at http://www.alanmitchell.biz/RethinkingWealth.htm
The book remains the missing audit that all of the world's largest organisations need to align goodwill with sustaining their deepest brand and people flowing purposes. It remains the answer to all the following CEO puzzles:
Unseen Wealth
CSR as a purposeful strategy - something the new Unilever CEO was talking about at World Economic Forum last week
Transparency in all its system*system meanings
Sustainability investment and the 3 errors macro-economics commits and destroy true entrepreneurial flows and service empowerment per http://worldeconomist.net
Misunderstanding of compound risk/externalities at global market sector levels
|
Again if you have time look at the main picture map at http://worldcitizen.tv - this picture shows the 3 main professional crises - media, truth/open learning, professional misvaluation of all service and knowledge flows; and how they compound onto the 4 greatest humanitarian crises as nominated by Larry Brilliant epicentre of google.org; any other global market sector can be related to which of these 7 system failures is it infected by as well as more specific ones that its category either truly serves or bit by bit pollutes. For 95+% of our 1000 largest organisations to be ruled by maths that is perfect for compounding loss of trust-flow and decimation of global sector's most vital value for human sustainability is a SYSTEM FAILURE. The good and the bad news is this age of fallibility can be corrected by different maths. THE MAP! You will not find one mathematician who is prepared to openly on every worldwide stage contest with me that this is the simplest (system missing maths). This is not because I am brilliant; its just a matter of logically defining what deepest human purpose is governed around. The 10-win coordinates of productivity and demand are molecularly. They can be zoomed in at micro or macro or inter levels. They are the playing pieces of value multiplication whether the scope you want to take is one organisational system , a global market sector, a nation, the whole of where is globalisation as currently ruled spinning sustainability for future generations including my 10 year old daughter. Find me a mathematician who wants to tell me there is a simpler or more complete way to map systems and networks as system*systems*systems. How can professions rule over us with maths or other laws and not be prepared to openly debate the maths of compound sustainability! Such is a huge fallibility -quite capable of ending our species. Look East , I dont think their leaders (where they have beed educated) are infected by this fallibility as much as West/North. Ask yourself first - are you infected by it? TIPPING POINT 007 Its interesting that for the first time last month a gaggle of top ceos voted over 50% that climate is a crisis and one they feel unprepared for http://mms://wm.world-television.com/streamstudio/wef/20070216/spirit_en_v200_416x232_00.wmv discussion http://www.davosconversation.org/?p=1252
One way round this is to stop reading academic and other books, and everything historical about strategy etc. Connect to what language those CEOs who are puzzled are now using. I will try and make a list of CEO quotes for you from World Economic Forum and Clinton Global Initiatives and video interview available online such as Schultz’s so that you can see what languages which segments of CEOs are using. One of the final ironies is that whichever language a CEO does tentatively use to question if something is missing from valuation/governance be it intangibles, trust-flow, transparency, sustain ability investment, CSR total Corporate brand responsibility is the same missing map, various entrepreneurial languages including the big 3 of my father's trilogy 1976-1984 So I don’t care a damn which of the perceived William or My positions the book addresses as long as it tries to do 3 things: Get a publisher Provide a presentation we can all make even if it is different from the way the publisher presents the book is faithful to the map being a whole system apart from what you will ever measure if you add up separate boxes instead of value flows; prefer nth decimal precision of a historic period than seeing what future is being compounded as a statistician I beg you to make sure you understand the following paradox; if you look at 3 time intervals : the past which includes past quarter or past year the next 18 months or so the next 5 years then maximising numbers on one of these periods (ie the information you look and the rewards and punishments you operate) has no correlation between the 3 periods; in fact deliberate maximisation of either the past or the next 18 months is 100% negatively correlated with the 5 year investment The Map is the antidote to that . The only way (absent of monopolies or environments where communications are totally false across a whole market sector such as petroleum economics) to get maximum returns over 5 years or more is to flow trust across all productive and demanding relationship constituencies that an organisational system flows You don’t have to write about this 3 time interval paradox up front. But unless you understand it you will keep on losing confidence in why the map's maths is the only true one for 5 years and on; which as far as I know is the only reason why both economics and system entrepreneurial views were ever developed in the first place. If we are saying that economics is the discipline to con societies about where they are going so that people who rise to the top of leadership are playing 18 month self-interest games however much they ruin the nation or now we are globally connecting the world. then I do have a humanistic difficulty with anyone who meekly turns the cheek and let such 18 months lost-truth makers destroy all future generations futures. The greatest maths mistake in the world After nearly 7 years debating how you write up the missing maths (its entirety of login including 100 disaster cases it expains), I need these minimal actions from Alan: 1) a proposal before a book (one that ideally eg william and I can then work from into a parallel ppt or headline presentation) 2) to see the pictures or patterns or game rules before the writing to ensure that the actual way the map is going to be written about fills the missing systems instead of averaging itself out by trying to fit itself to the old system; I have consistently explained that all the so-called solutions to tangible accounting or increasing loss of system and network transparency are patches that are bound to fail because the maths of flows is the opposite to the maths of boxes; and it is the maths of flows that enable anyone with access to information that tests out how conflicted or boxed in an organisation is being ruled to see what exponential of sustainability or decay that organisation is hurtling along 2 actual fits with what case or ceo speak is used as the book builds up- so if Alan prefers to clarify that first , rather than what map-pictures he sees his writing as constructing then fine! chris macrae us tel 301 881 1655

Example of world business and citizen mapping - featuring now at TOP10s.tv 
Grameen Bank for the Poor, Muhammad Yunus - Nominators 1 video (1 in 100 languages) -NB case illustrated is Pre-Feb 007 Grameen. We commend onet as a post-Feb conversation space, and welcome other suggestions of communities and world citizen networks wishing to debate future of Grameen *K1 Microcredit as led by Grameen offers the greatest service work there is for those who love to plant seeds so that communities develop sustainably connecting 100 million families taken out of poverty since 1999 | *V1 Sustaining the development of a community out of poverty is the greatest vocation and empowering professional wish | *K2 Internal branches of Grameen Bank are guided by 5 star ratings for the community's local team to aspire to; external supporters of Grameen can action interface in one of 16 ways (you don't have to be a banker to participate with the 2000 who network annually at microcreditsummit but you do need to bring one of 16 skill sets to the interaction) | *V2 Empower us women as the greatest net of undiscovered micro entrepreneurs | *K3 Probably the world's simplest trust-flow credit model - this can only be replicated by intrapreneurial leadership teams who empower instead of boss from the top down. 10 years ago: Who would have thought that the banking sector would be nurtured to demonstrate with the most intrapreneurial franchise on the planet? | *V3 Banking for the poor as the most value multiplying sustainability investment sector | *K4 Grameen offers to partner almost any global sector on its own hi-trust value multiplication terms; bring your deepest competence to Bangladesh, let us implement it strategically, you get goodwill's multiplying gains, we will take the risk that sustaining the deepest purpose your sector can offer in Bangladesh will not make a lost. Where global partners don't want to play, Grameen now cherry picks emerging sectors - eg mobiles by investing in the sector at the right time to lead it, return the surplus to the poor. As the country's favourite brand, there are very few new service sectors that would want to compete head for head with Grameen. | *V4 eg Grameen Danone - fast food health foods supplementing dietary gaps of Bangladeshi's- note how K4*V4 proofs the concept that the social business entrepreneurial stockmarket game is ready for go. | *K5 Supporters clubs are set to emerge in every city; not only does Grameen have one of the top global village summit network meetings of the year; but it has its own pop group and videos for replaying in 100 languages. As a global academy partner of the supreme grassroots up social entrepreneur association ashoka, local societies can be guided to the potential synergy of the 2 most empowering micro entrepreneurial networks in existence: microcredit grameen dialogues and ashoka mosaics | *V5 Hi-trust Collaboration and transparent empowerment from grassroots women up can put poverty in a museum by the millennial goal deadlines |

one service company we track has returned 100 times the intitial investors money but only by co-creating perhaps 1000 time more value for the system of relationships of productivities and deamds connecting employees, customers and societies. This is what truth's systemic understanding of free markets and entrepreneurship has since the alte 1700s made clear
so questions that occur first and relentlessly are:
*how in this age when knowledge could be so easy to network, did so many service businesses lose this model?
*whether you use the Yunus language of Social Business or some other purpose-investing system terminology, how do we architecturally re-structure the world's most humanly vital service markets around the systemic transparency of the above paradigm
the mathematics of hi-trust auditing is easy but potentially there is a double loop of conflicted interests as can be expected from any system transformation challenge
Crisis A) professions wherever they have lost their hippocratic oath and use the semi-monolpoly licence society exchnaged with then to be true and fair, transparent and ethical, valuing life above all to perpetrate eaactly the opposite compiund consequences. This disease appears to have spread virally and globally with the spreadsheet's emergece and power to rule networks with numbers whose assumptions are not being wholy questioned. This is an even bigger crisis than climate crisis becasue it is the root cause of failing in a compound way to value human life of future generations http://up200.tv
Crisis B) the media and mediation of this is what system transformation observers since Einstein have called man's final examination; this is because we are now hurtling through an age where once separate systems are all multplying system*syste*system and if one system catches a value destorying cancer it ca compound the collape of the whole; that's why today we have a climate crisis which has breached the compound tipping point - HM Treasury: biggest market failure ever, requiring investmeny of 1% of GDP to save 20% or 100% http://guidemakers.net
