BRAC or Grameen - Bangladesh's knowledge networking banks of 100 of replicable value exchanges by and for poor

Khan Academy -or whomever posts most online free stuff youth find most valuable to action learn lessons from the largest classes ever held

Interface sustainability - challenging any sectors to redesign partnerships to be profitable renewable in under half a generation

please mail us [e-mail] if you have an idea for a pro-youth value exchange to MAP

 WholeFoods is a benchmark we recommend to American youh. It networks at least 4 networks each with a purpose that the world would uniquely miss if it didn't exist

It also shows how a leader of an upmarket customer segmentation can design in strategic collaboration responsibilities for changing the world for the poorest (or most disconnected from networkng a healthy and fulfilling life)

 

To be clear WholeFoods is the most upmarket mass supermarket in USA if not the world- that is what gives it a positive cashflow to invest

 

its core focus is nutrition for wealthy american families; it is so good at celebrating (and everyday living ) that purpose that it is a store of choice wherever upscale urban communities are next developed- its a living showcase for good food - recipes and sourcing - and why spending family time on this is a good idea- and its a happy place to be served as whole food associates are clearly thriving in developing themselves; technically its also worth noting as a brand whose success depends on each community growing with it, wholefoods never wastes any of its marketing on tv advertising - why on earth would need image-making when you are asking people to colaboate in reality-making through every community you engage

 

To some it might seem like magic that Wholefoods can see win-win connection (the sub-brand wholeplanetfoundation) that integrates a model serving some of the world's poorest people- the idea bing in communities where it has a long-term produce sourcing relationship why not help develop a community bank for the poor - importing the knowhow that has made Bangladesh the number 1 economy developed by poorest mothers networks. Not only does Wholefood fundraise but for a month a year microcredit is fully promoted across all WholeFood stores

 

For those americans concerened with how we regenerate communities at home, Wholekis is a leading connector of the camapian for nutritious food lunches- the simplest starting point for whole food to take its love of nutrition networks to everywhere in America with children - especially those that other systems fail to help

Wholefoods fourth movement (more strictly one linked in around the strategy and operational philosophy of WF entrepreneurial leader John Mackey)  is www.conciouscapitalism.org

 

This taps into the greatest change world heroes that youth and all of us can identity.  It has started by connecting US citizen movements in statewide chapters to cheer on leaders who decide that whatever customer segment their core business purpose serves , there are ways to integrate this in networks that celebrate improving the future around the most urgent community services

INTRODUCTION TO WHY MAPS OF BRAC & GRAMEEN SHOULD MATTER TO ANY ENTREPRENEURIAL REVOLUTIONARY

Back in 1972 after observing early student experiments with digital networks, The Economist's pro-youth economist (my dad) declared the need to search out 21st c organisational models that would need very different designs than the biggest organisational typologies of the 20th century.

 

...

Dad's last work in 2008 celebrated the Bangladesh bottom-up NGO model as the greatest organisational design discovery economists have ever had the good fortune to study. It is true that in our search for how open education and green energy models can multiply orders of magnitude more value than the industrial revolution dad did not live to see the scaling of such as khanacademy and coursera. So when you combine the Bangladeshi bottom-up ngo model and the emerging models of pro-youth open education the opportunity to transform economics to abundant system designs from zero-sum scarcity designs is marvelous to collaborate around.

This post provides a short overview of ways to VE MAP BRAC

 

There are almost as many perspectives for mapping BRAC as there are the planet. It is the massive open collaboration leader of solutions to many of the most life critical services that poorest or unustaiable communities face.

One way to look at BRAC - as any Bangladeshi-originated microcredit model should be viewed - is like a venn diagram of 3 market exchanges:

what can village banks designed round mothers investments in their next generation do?

what can education do when designed round action learning and learning a living do (eg Freire and Montessori cultures are what has grown BRAC into the largest non-governmental education network)

what can markets designed round bottom-ownership purposefully value? eg BRAC has worked on almost every agriculture and food market value exchange so that poorest villagers sustain a good living- where necessary it is the market operator on their behalf and for example seed science is led by brac to be pro-poor in the exact opposite"organic"  way to seeds developed by big agricultural and heavy chemical agriculture forms

 

a second way to look at brac is as the world's most open connector of knowledge for collaborating around millennium goals- its been epicentral to Bangaldesh's achievement of this progress over one generation; BRAC loves exchanging solutions that can replicate across communities

This leads us to third way to look at brac as banker of microfranchise solutions ready to replicate life critical services at a community to community level - the only way that economic modeling of a global village networking world can map the greatest value multipliers - refer to entrepreneurial revolution in The Economist establishe in 1972 to map this future trajectory

 

The fourth way is to look at BRAC's world of pertnerships especially thise that have brought technology labs to bangladeshi vilagers - see this paper by a world bank staffere. Help us list which markets BRAC is a world-class eleader of:

eg www.bkash.com = cashless or ebanking

open education - current major interest of sir fazle abed

various emedical apps

various e-agriculture apps - eg testing food chain quality or testing soil conditoons before recommending seeding solution
