Let the crowdsourcing begin...
Three issues on the table -- Tentative Agenda for Oct 12th 5:30 - 6:00 -- Networking 6:00 - 6:40 -- Open Discussion Attendees of the previous session share their experience, and comment on one of three things:
New attendees briefly introduce themselves and talk about what they want to get out of the session. 6:40 - 7:20 -- Discussion Of Key Definition[/i] Many people have commented that we need to start this 7:20 - 7:30 -- Break, Networking 7:30 - 8:00 -- Goals, Metrics for Keeping This Discussion Productive There has been a lot of feedback for "where do we go from here." This discussion will help the group gain a tighter focus, and create some high-level goals we can publish to our community, and begin using as the framing for future activities. My sense is that the answer is working towards a few high-level goals, which need to be generated and shared by the community, and could include:
Please comment on these options for the first discussion on metrics and definitions: 1. what is social entrepreneurism? what are the distinctions with social enterprise, sustainable enterprise, 3BL business, earned income non-profits and other organizations descriptions? 2. what is impact investing? what are the distinctions with triple-bottom-line investing, venture philanthropy, progressive investing, slow money, conscious foundation funds and other forms of progressive capital? 3. Review standards, including:
4. Suggest your ideas / goals / needs. SESSION 2: Reviewing a Company Who wants to go first? The process I envision includes using the Whole Systems Risk Management survey instrument (WSRM) as a framework for discussing how an individual enterprise runs. Remember, this is a learning exercise which will benefit the individual enterprise and community at large. A few candidates from my short list of collaborators include: Rally Software eConsciousMarket Tuggl A few candidates from my wish list include the following (who can make introductions?): GoLite Tendril New Belgium Namaste Solar ecocycle Please add your own wish lists... ISSUE 3: Online Collaboration Is this message board a good venue to you? Would you prefer an online group on: LinkedIn (my preference) Google Groups Yahoo Groups Edited by Greg Berry on Sep 27, 2009 10:34 PM |

online collaboration - please no Linkedin or Facebook - way too clumsy for collaboration. Look at Groupsite.
I'd like to add ebags to the list. I have a set of Sustainable Values that might be useful. Kathryn Alexander |
