.Members of Institutes of Social Business help each other study and sustain the most purposeful
organisations in the world. They do so by systemising designs that integrate the 10-win organisational system that action
learns around hi-trust questions like these. We are always excited to hear of better -and more contextually energising - ways
to word these questions; and to hear of other organisational models that sustain the world's most truly purposeful systems.
The way Social Business modeling sustains the most purposeful systems designed by humanity
is made very simple by these constitutional rules: ownership is trusted to those in most deperate need of the branded purpose ; in parallel leadership commits to make a positive cashflow 10-win model transparent, audits its exponential
future rising, and ensures than all profit is reinvested in Unique Organising Purpose.

Grameen
is one of the most entrepreneurial and innovative organizations for humanity that I have come across in 33 years of working
on world class brands in 40 countries. In the three years that my journalist father Norman Macrae (40 years leaders writer
for The Economist), and I, and in some cases decades that my friends 1 2 3 4 have researched Grameen, we
have been introduced to most of Grameen’s leading entrepreneurs. If you read about an endeavour that you seriously need
to know more about tell me chris.macrae@yahoo.co.ukand we will try and make the appropriate introduction inside grameen
The first thing I recommend you understand is: why it is impossible to quickly compare Grameen success factors with
metrics of any classical market sector. Grameen is the ultimate bank for the poorest and cheerleader of the connecting the
human race in ending poverty But my brand maps reveal its leadership purpose as designed about 20% round banking and 80% as
a sustainability investment club owned by its clients Bangladesh’s and the world’s poorest. Soon after opening
Grameen started investing in sustainable businesses (whose mathematical model called “social business” is published
in the 2008 book by Nobel Laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus on their role in youth’s choice of Future Capitalism) as well as
banking for the poorest. A low cost start up literally distributed vegetable seeds in one cent packets so that members could
grow veggies and so cure the night blindness that most village kids of the 1980s suffered from due to poor diets. Seeds may
have been the most micro product ever sold, but pretty soon Grameen as Bangladeshi’s largest seeds retailer. A business
that needed somewhat more investment was housebuilding – actually a hut with a monsoon proof roof, 4 pillars so that
even in a cyclone the building did not collapse and a pit latrine for hygenic reasons. This was the most primitive –but
also the most economical - housing ever to get an Aga Khan award for architecture. Today, over three quarter of a million
sub sub prime housing loans have been offered and fully repaid.
In 1996, investments in sustainability markets started getting serious
with whole planet consequences in the sense that some have become world class leaders. Firstly, there is Grameen’s microcredit
which worldwide summits since 1997 have benchmarked as the safest communal banking system that can be systemically designed.
Investing in new business took Grameen into mobile connectivity- thus http://www.grameensolutions.com/is now a world leader in business uses of mobiles whilst always driven by understanding how to end digital
divides. NB one of the greatest poverty traps of all is not to have market sensitive information that everyone else has. Grameen
Shakti is a world leader in solar energy. Grameen is pioneering what a rural national health care system can be partnered
round in a networked age. Grameen employment agencies are sprouting up now that generation of members children are becoming
a wave of the most entrepreneurial and microeconomic savvy alumni on the planet. What will be the next magic that Grameen’s
enrepreneurs co-create? Watch this space...
SURVEY
OF LIFE CRITICAL NEEDS & COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS - world reunions - Dhaka 29June- coming soon BERLIN NOV, NAIROBI Mar2010 -queries welcomed - Yes We Can bureau, Washington DC 301 881 1655- Where are 10 times more economic community models compounding sustainable futures?
.Can you help? Our survey has 2 components:
1)making
a listing of the most life-critical or community-sustaining challenges
2)searching for benchmark solutions
found in one locality that can be sustainably replicated to other communities
.One of the bottom-up approaches we value emerged from mapping entrepreneurial revolutions of 10-times more economic models that emerged from quests of microeconomists and transparency journalism during
world war 2 out of a place that is now known as Bangladesh. These
constructs also drew on work by people like Gandhi and Einstein on how to end sustainability crises causes by professional
rules that were systemised in days when a few big cities colonially ruled the waves. So we particularly wish to celebrate
any yes we can approaches that a networked world of peoples can urgently help each other enjoy.

Welcome to the new grameen.tv . We explore the 3-in-1 mission of alumni of worldwide
collaboration entrepreneur, microeconomist and Nobel Peace Laureate Muhammad Yunus : to map social action, social
business and future capitalism: offering the simplest ways that every microentrepreneur -from the very poorest up - can
connect with. This mission was launched 2008 in a fieldbook open sourcing all the models that Grameen has developed over 31
years as the deepest gravity for ending poverty. Microentrepreneur network leaders (1 2 3) believe in collaboration around life-critical info and act on the value there is entrepreneur in all of us- fulfilment begins with
finding the way you can serve others in your community while generating enough income to sustain your family and unite the
community around its sustainability investment challenges as well as worldwide networking freedoms. This leads to opposite exponentials for the future than banks designed around the big get bigger whatever the cost to most human beings.

The story so far. I am just a mathematician but here are some
whole truths about human systems and how they multiply goodwill or badwill as far as i am able to map - if you have different
information to share you can phone me in washington dc 301 881 1655 or mail me map@smbaworld.com
25 years ago - during his 4th decade as economics editor at The Economist, dad forecasts that the global generation 1984-2024 would face more change than any other- systematically by 2024 the compound
consequences for humanity would be very evil (like orwell's big brother) or the best of times for all future children. To
be on the goodwill pathway, we would need to end poverty.
about 10 year ago - the millennium goals were a good path
but working in big management sonsultancies through the 90s I was appaleed at a maths error that was systematically devaluing
trust, rewarding those who imaged over reality including lconflict-makers and short-term speculators -the so called Unseen
Wealth Intangibles ctisis as it was then called, the Inconveneient Truth crisis as some sustainability mapmakers now call
it
about 2.5 yeas ago - summer 2006- I did some research which provided evidence that the only epicentre of world
change with maths that understood what expoentials into the future were being spun was in Bangladesh - among 100000 practitioners
of microcredit and other micro-services that sustain community-rising
At the epicentre of that I found - Dhaka, Mirpurs,
Grameen , Dr Yunus and the four whose social action teamwork starting in 1976 had systemised the safest banks and the best
collaboration pathways to all out futures of celebrating humanity -so that all 7 million people can lead productve
lives to their hearts content
We turn to a list of live collaboration projects that I have been introduced to in
Bangladesh and specifically with the investment of Grameen Banks and YunusPartners of his 30+ year validated social business entrepreneur model and its future capitalism networking measurably systemised around creating a world without poverty
I
love to hear of collaboration projects that I dont' know of which are in the same family whether they have been influenced
by Grameen or have simply mapped win-win-wins all round the purposeful organisational coordinates which generate
hi-trust human productivities and demands
Since
1976 I have surveyed brand purposefulness of organisational systems. Grameen is the most purposeful organisation I have ever surveyed
.
.
Examples of least purposeful organisations I have ever surveyed:
Andersen
(1998) - an acromonious internal split left accountants without the rich information technology consultany (now accenture) the
firm had built ; in striving to put global accountancy on such hi-growth paths they gave up on society's licence
to be true and fair
Enron 1993-2001 - 8 years that compounded a small company into one of the
world's 50 biggest economic powers and back to nothing
Wall Street Investment banks since subprime
(corresponding leverage ratiings rising from12:1 to 40:1); what you get when a nation superpowers unseen wealth's compound
risks
Non-purposeful organsiations multiply blindwill or badwill. They are measured so that one
coordinate takes from all others every quarter. This spreads cancerous conflicts between all others. This dilutes any purpose
the organsiation may have originally been founded to serve
This is due to the biggest mathematical
error ever governed. When the accountants raced to go global fro te late 1980s, they imosed a monoply of measuremnt that devalued
trust-flow and transparency. By 200, this was published in Unseen wealth Reports that forecast expoential compounding of risks
- more and more bubbles - until or unless goodwill's 2nd auit (oopsoite way round maths from how much did ine side take from
all the others) was included in the way that corpoaret perfmance was governed and reported
Grameen has
the world's most inspiring purpose: end poverty; its social business model has compounded investment in that over 34
years. Every coordinate of productivity and demand it has invited into its goodwill and value multplying circle it has been
deetermined to ensure entrepreneurial win-win-wins with
.
There are 2 ways to discover why the world needs more systems like Grameen. The
right hand-side relies on mathematics that I am happy to offer to people who seriously want to know. However, this web focuses
on Dr Yunus' approach in his book "creating a world without poverty - Social Business, Future of Capitalism".
This is to say to youth and communities - why not try mappimg organsastions around a deep purpose if one energises
you; join in peer to mpeer citizen and youth networks that action learn how to do this sustainably. The beauty of the
microenetrepreneur model is you start small, test expecting fast but low cost failures, keep persevering, once you have configured
a win-win-win model invite open replication.
This fieldbook completes an entrepreneurial research trilogy begun in 1984 with
what Americans called The 2025 Report.
Readers are invited to play a mapping game. This
values a hi-trust governance system which we call goodwill multiplication. Back in 2000 it was concluded by an eminent
survey “Unseen Wealth” of financiers, economists and lawyers that: • Intangibles (ie how freely trust flows
purposefully in service and knowledge economies) are a missing measurement system which humanity needs the 21st century’s
largest organisations –and free markets - to agree to be seen to make transparent • Until or unless people who
make decision for the world’s largest organisations map with this missing system , they will compound untold risks Early
fatalities of unseen wealth were Enron and the Big 5 accountant Andersen, and soft power advocates may argue the goals of
what acheiving peace in Iraq was thought to involve when a white house rushed into war. Today’s crash of wall street’s
investment banks and worldwide credit systems is caused by the same missing system –macro leaders who simply do not
have relevantly detailed information to see what compound whole truths or conflicts they are committing exponentially into
the future. The bad news is we are not going to design systems that prevent global crashes until we understand the missing
maps of goodwill multiplication. The good news is that almost every “sustainability crisis “ the world is facing
from extreme poverty to climate crises drowning in carbon energy to burdening costs of healthcare to education that empowers
7 billion brilliant jobs worthy of human lifetimes becomes simpler one people understand what hi-trust human relationship
system need to monitor every quarter. Due to some accidental beliefs of professional monopolies around 1984 when the invention
of the spreadsheet started networking the globalization of business, one metric- how much can one side take every quarter
from all other coordinates of productivity and demand became superpowerful. For a generation of spreadseeting professionals
it became the driver of big organizations and global markets over the last quarter century. Step back for a few seconds logical
reflection. Is it not obvious that monopoly of decision-making by : “How much you take from the rest of the world every
quarter” is literally the least sustainable measure of success human beings could choose to design your and my lifetimes
around? Truth’s sustainability (Gandhian satyagraha) is governed not by what has just been done but by understanding
what future exponential up or down is compounding. Because sustainability integrates the quality of human relationships around
purpose, it is what mathematicians call a bayesian measure –one that has information pertinent to forecasting what futures
will systematically happen unless changes are made. Goodwill or badwill is measurable into the future because the quality
of most of the trust relationships connecting purposeful gravity has already been made. So leadership can be informed by exponentially
measuring ahead of time where a system is spinning – sustainably up or crashing down. There is one more critical and
vital pattern rule to know about if you want every co-worker to be emotionally and socially intelligent at goodwill multiplication.
The trajectory which any human organizational system or value exchanging marketplace is connecting with the future is not
straight line. Future historians including my father’s work at The Economist as far back as the 1960s understand that
both the surprising and future shocking characteristics of exponential curves is they look straight live until they tip. Once
they tip growth or destruction happens very fast – and intervention of a crashing system so becomes impossible or more
costly than letting it crash. Debating future scenarios openly and curiously from every diverse angle is the best prevention
against future shock – and we could use the internet to do this if we agreed that for example the purposes of the millennial
goals are the ones that this generation – the one that designs being more worldwide connected than separated –
wants to be its investment in future generations. Whilst this book is based on every bit as detailed maths as tangible accounting,
here is a diference that microeconomists and pursposeful entrepreneurs stand up for. Namely action learning around purposeful
goodwill multiplication in this post industrial age of value differentiation – demands that everyone involved with a
system has transparent access to questioning what information is changing in the environment as well as inside the organizations’
flows of human relationships. This book will fail if it is understood by one or two professions but not by every human being
who sincerely tries to elad a productive life and inspiring peer to peer learning curve. So, our promise to the reader is
that you need no more maths than • understanding the difference between multiplication and addition; • using any
truly designed and deeply updated map. The compound destruction of the globalisation finance came about through very western
logics over the last quarter century – macro logics of top-down power, where theories increasingly got sponsored only
when their conclusion was the big gets bigger is the best that globalisation can get. Fortunately there is a region of the
world that has been experimenting with a micro approach to governance for 25 years –the sort of Gandhian flows that
Einstein among others refereed as being pivotal to sustainable world futures and goodwilled leadership. It already maps goodwill
multiplication with the missing system. So the order of play of this book is: To look at cases of the epicentre of goodwill
multiplication – Bangladesh and Grameen bank Emerge the model that connects win-win-wins of every agent of productivity
and demand connected around vital purpose Compare this with some daring purposeful organisations in India and in the west
such as whole foods and Interface and at the South’s Free University. In part 2 we will track back on how the official
orthodoxy of the last 25 years remains so powerful. However simply we map goodwill multiplication, there is no guarantee that
the world’s media and 20th century professions will decide to use goodwill mapping. We try to rehearse the whole range
of defensive arguments that those who prefer to rule only by how much did one side take instead of governing by 2 systems
will make We conclude with 10 questions on what’s at stake for the 21st Century.
..would want to help improve on the herstory of Bangladesh below and so the sustainability of any nations in a networked
world ?
we need womens writing at epicentre of ebooks that classes of 09/10
choose to compile from the ersources on womens and future capitalism that Bangladesh will be launching at the end if june
http://yunusforum.net/ -with apologies to any oversimplication of bangladeshi culture but the west schooling system doesnt yet have any curriculum
-let alone common langauge - that builds systems the way that nature or mathematicians who invented the computer designed.
It is quite extraordinary when you know that what came the scchool of global finacnial journalism was
built on a well intended rule of Geoffrey Crowther's after world war 2 of simplify then exagerate - however Geoffrey
had assumed you had actually read the systems literature of adam smith and updated what community assumptions were being made
from his late 1700s contexts of the wealth of nations-tell me if you want me to post you a leaflet celebrating adam smith's
250 centenary of writing up the basic famework of capitalism
He gained a scholarship to Clare College to read modern languages, in which he took a first then changed to economics and was awarded an upper first
class degree in 1929. He was elected president of the Cambridge Union Society in 1928.
During the Second World War he joined the Ministry of Supply and was for a time at the Ministry of Information, before being appointed
deputy head of joint war production staff at the Ministry of Production.
In 1956, he was appointed
Chairman of the Central Advisory Council for Education. The result was The Crowther Report--Fifteen to Eighteen , which eventually
led, in 1972, to the raising of the school leaving age to 16, and in which he coined the word numeracy.In 1971, he authored the Report of the Committee on Consumer Credit, the "Crowther Report",
whose recommendations led to the Consumer Credit Act 1974Until his death in 1972, he was chairman of the Royal Commission on the Constitution.He was a member of the governing body of the London School of Economics.
He was appointed Foundation Chancellor of the Open University in 1969.
Herstory of Bangladesh
Although they represent half of the human species, the role of women, children and the poor
in developing countries is interesting but seldom told –let alone accounted for in the way that rich nations analyze
organizational performance, do academic research or model macroeconomics.
However as Bill Clinton has said[i] in the case of Bangladesh’s first third of a century as a nation, it is impossible
not to report with the lens of herstory. This is because this nation’s economy is generated by the
rural economy and the sustainability investment banking of the poorest women. Moreover, now that Obama has observed that top-down
globalisation does not compound local community sustainability in banking, health, green energy or education, Bangladesh’s
herstory is epicentral to any next generation networks who are interested in economically mapping how and why sustainability
investments can transparently compound services which human being most critically need and want to serve.
Bangladesh is leading 10 times more economical banking , healthcare, energy, mobile partnering and education. It is doing this in a mainly open source way so as to take economics as far above
zero-sum as the greatest entrepreneurial challenges commuicated around our planet can achieve. Why not join the party http://yunusforum.net once you have satisfied yourself on how the reality-making of Bangladesh’s free marketing models came about?
How was bottom-up banking and aid founded?
Bangladesh was the third and last
100 million plus nation to gain independence after English colonial rule over India. It achieved independence in a bloody
war where the nation we now call Pakistan flattened its infrastructure before retreating. Within a couple of years a million
people were dying of famine. Two types of leaders emerged:
·Those not atypical
of any post colonial government rewarded by inter-governmental aid
·Those who were Muslims
but to whom Gandhian system beliefs and goals were core.
The
Muslim Gandhians networked around 2 extraordinary youthful entrepreneurs. Fazle Abed who had learnt his business skills in
the Shell corporation in London, and Muhammad Yunus who had experienced what economics has to offer as a Fulbright scholar
at VanderBilt.
INVENTION OF BOTTOM-UP AID Within
three years Fazle Abed’s network had invented 2 services that merited rural-wide replication and the network around
Dr Yunus one. Fazle Abed’s network invented oral rehydration which was capable of saving up to 20% of infant’s
lives and the most economical form of primary education. Both of these depended on professionals - nurses and teachers
- being embedded in the village.
When Fazle
Abed approached the government leadership group about replicating these franchises, he was told this was not an interest of
government but if he could resource bottom-up aid he was free to go and do it. A third of a century later, the world’s largest privatized services group of about 150000 employees governed by social business models – that is owned by the poorest - have developed many bottom
up industry sectors including village nursing, village education, nationwide poultry, nationwide livesto0ck, national leadership
of sericulture and silk fashions branding.
INVENTION OF MICROCREDIT - peoples safest banking
When Muhammad Yunus approached government circles about microcredit
village banking it took 7 years to pass a national law constituting Grameen Bank as a one of a kind network – over 80%
owned by the poorest and the rest owned by government. Not one cent owned by the board of operational executives. Notably,
Grameen can only operate in rural areas and its purpose must always facilitate services to the poorest. Before the bank was
formally constituted the members were surveyed in terms of what communally ending poverty meant beyond empowering individuals
to be income generating- they came up with 16 decisions around which every communal venture that Grameen has innovated beyond
pure microcredit has been generated. Primarily these decisions emphasize the mothers wish for health and safety of the household
and educating her children to go way beyond illiteracy.
To explore Grameen and true microcredit banking is to study how sustainability investments compound the most
essential services. Todaythe world’s most resourced organizations can also discover industry sector responsibility by partnering
in innovations with Bangladesh’s grassroots vital services networks and social business constitutions. In parallel ,the
national strategy of Bangladesh is to design sustainability solutions which communities most desperately need and to open
source replications of these around the world particularly with India's and China’s economies.
Whilst testing of microcredit – and what became the safest banking
system - began in 1976, another extraordinary year was 1996. It was in this year that Bangladesh
started to become the networking world’s epicentre of mobile and internet for the poor and green energy micro-systems.
All three of Bangladesh’s major microcredit
networks - Grameen, BRAC and ASA - have explored mobiles in banking in different ways producing 3 superbly
segmented microcredit services. However, it was the entrepreneurial courage of Muhammad Yunus who seized on taking out a mobile
franchise at cents in the dollar after global consultants had mis-estimated the value of mobile telephony on Bangladesh by
between 10-fold and hundredfold. He also revelled in ensuring that the first application of mobiles was in
villages – Grameen was able to connect its 125000 village centers whose life critical questions and knowledge transfer
had previously relied on manual cross-fertilization by banking branch managers. Today, along with India Bangladesh is number
1 in designing how mobiles can change every type of worldwide business. -eg http://www.bankabillion.orghttp://www.grameensolutions.com
Just as the world’s poorest nation had the
greatest incentive to design a banking system in a way that networked the productivity of the missing half of its population,
today projections show that Bangladesh will need to be a leader in ending over-carbonization. Otherwise it is stochastically
likely to be the first 100+ million population to be washed away. It seems that in the history of humanity – if women,
and children and the poor are to be accounted for at all – that the world’s yes we can networks ought now be collaborating
with Bangladesh in every way that social business networks map. Ironically with the collapse of top-down banking worldwide, herstory has never been so interesting
for all 7 billion beings on our planet. Come join in the celebrations in Dhaka on June 29 http://www.yunusforum.net and journalists unite to launch herstories and other missing genres of sustainability
investment.
