| BRANSON | . |
Number 1 Global CEO in Search of Value Relationships to top 10 : Blecher-Mandela Critical 2010s sector - Education |
A major focus of our future work at norman macrae will be 2-part inquiries on networks that can save youth's world (from becoming a jobless or planet-destroyed generation)
part 1 like this thread jots down all the notes and links we can find on a network's collabration gioals with youth
part 2 will develop a 9 minute audio tour since banks of such audios are the most valuable component of open education and MOOCs that our friends can help with
q0.1 what other networks does branson lead or partner in major way
a0.1.1 lead- csr projects of virgin unite, carbon war-room dc, mandela elders network ,... rsvp chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk
a0.1.2 what partnerships does he help resource- south africa's free university partners - the leading physical free university model (ie a country's potentially greatest job creating youth deserve free entrepreneurial education however poor or disconnected their upbringing especially if they are passionate about serving urgent need communities that they have the highest trust relationship with)
q0.2 where does one find out about bteam - well his book about 18 months ago started to expand on this idea but today we assume this web is best http://bteam.org/stories/

....leaders. .. The leaders joining The B Team founders Sir Richard Branson and Jochen Zeitz are:
The initial “B Leaders” have been selected by a global network of advisors. They have come together as a group of committed business leaders to use their collective voice to help engage other leaders and will act as a catalyst to help deliver “Plan B”. They will work with partners to break down entrenched barriers and ensure there is a clear way forward. The B Team will address three initial Challenges: “The Future of Leadership”, “The Future Bottom Line” and “The Future of Incentives” to help focus business away from short term gain and to balance the long term benefits for our people and our planet. In a live online broadcast to over 500 hundred gatherings in more than 115 cities around the world, The B Team Leaders also issued a joint Declaration today (bteam.org/about/declaration), acknowledging key global problems such as growing inequality, unemployment and the unsustainable use of natural resources. The group commits to accelerating a movement of leaders around the world driven by a better way of doing business. “Today we want to start a global conversation on a “Plan B” for business,” said co-founder Sir Richard Branson, “We are working with government agencies, the social sector, and business leaders to help get on top of some of the world’s seemingly intractable challenges. We are keen to listen, learn and share with others to build businesses that do what’s right for people and the planet.” “Business is integral to society, but it has also created most of the negative environmental challenges of this century,” co-founder Jochen Zeitz said today, “The B Team will help to catalyse a shift away from the existing short-term, unsustainable mindset, towards the long-term interest of people, the planet and the wider economy. Tackling these three challenges is a starting point for a “Plan B” to form.” “The Future of Leadership” Challenge will seek to accelerate a new kind of inclusive leadership underpinned by a moral compass of being fair, honest, positive and creative (bteam.org/about/compass-beliefs). This is founded on cooperation and will be aimed at generating long-term value for society, the economy and the environment. |

Ratan Tata
Ratan Tata is renowned for his tremendous success in the business world, expanding Tata from a regional manufacturing and steel corporation to an international conglomerate. .., a great deal of that respect also stems from Tata's dedication to transparency, accountability, and relentlessly rooting out corruption in his organization, setting a powerful example for other businesses to follow.
Tata also talks about the impact on his mentality as a business leader that the majority of the profits from Tata go toward charitable trusts and causes in India, adding an extra layer of ethical responsibility to his work.

Mo Ibrahim
Dr. Mo Ibrahim provides leadership of huge business opportunities available in bringing 21st-century infrastructure into the developing world -- and the importance of structuring his company, Celtel, to maximize transparency and avoid furthering corrupt government practices.
In 1999, only 7.5 million Africans had cell phones. By 2005, Celtel alone had 25 million customers, and today, there are more than 650 million Africans with cell phones, more than the US and EU combined. But entering into the African mobile phone market was not just a sound business decision. As Dr. Ibrahim points out in this interview, investing in mobile communications infrastructure would help to lay the groundwork for tremendous economic development throughout the continent.Ibrahim cashed out of most of equity in Celtel to become a billanthropist of African Leadership transparency - see Mo Ibrahim Foundation -

Strive Masiyiwa
Zimbabwe's richest busienssman, Strive Masiyiwa, Chairman of Econet Wireless argues for the critical role of businesses investing for the long-term in nations themselves. This is critical for protecting shareholder value, and, he explains, is also vital for the people of Africa that the rule of law be established, and that corporations are a positive actor in that process. Masiyiwa discusses how, through "patience and faith," Econet was able not only to defend and expand the profits of investors, but demonstrate to the world the ability of the Nigerian court system to render a just verdict -- all while extending infrastructure critical to Africa's growth and prosperity to the developing continent.
