GrameenFrance.com - Bravo France home of entrepreneur & impact of social media way beyond facebook

transparency note : my first book on media "world class brands" was written in 1989 after 10 years of work with a french-global company whose partnership with MIT collected the deepest database of what societies wanted from global corporate brands- it was clear then that the 21st C  greatest free markets (those helping to make 2010s youths most productive and sustanable decade) will cut down the tv ad spot to a bit part player -vive la global grameen netgen economie!

Out of St Cloud Africa24tv has an audacious plan - to braodcast good news by and for African Youth. Why not celebrate African people as entreprenurial healthy and wealthy as anwyehre given a continnet of extraordinary resources -human and natural. Can you help Africa24 map the 100 most important industry sectors by and for Africans and who will be their most transparent leader out of each region. Any leader passing through parios with a view on who to do this is welcome to join the good news broadcasts out of St Cloud. Africa24tv is being built by an extraordianry journalists and an amazing operations officer who previously served Mo Ibrahim's vison and before that helped lead microsoft africa. Africa24tv's founder is also one of the best linked in journalists at MIT - see diary report at www.africanidol.tv

Africa24 special magazine edition of 500 african entrepreneurs What if the world celebrated a growing pattern of good news stories like these "Telecom la guerre des prix; les fortunes be Nollywood; Le mystere de fonds Lbyens; La flambee de green business; Les stars qui investissent; la montee des entrepreneurs sociales; La batalle d'aerien"

Kenya is Africa's Silicon Valley offering the most trusted financial models of investing in youth's mobile livelihoods(software busienesses are already in its top 3 exports causing Google Africa to headhunt one of its former hi-tech leaders). Kenya is also a world destination for ecovilages like Kaputei and celebratng the green movements initiated by the late great Nobel laureate Wangaari Mathai.

Algeria and Morocco are celebrated as extraordinary places for women busienss leaders - see the memberships of SEVE and CRASC in Algeria; count up how many sectors have women ceos in Morocco

Cote D'Ivoire is not just an extraordinary agriculture epicentre (especially for chocolate); it celebrates such skills as architects and marketing agencies can offer

Ghana is at the convergence of so many great initiatives - that China chose Accra as the origin of its foirst young peoples business school in africa; it boasts africa's leading pharna company by and for Africans; this part of Africa has some of the most imposing busienss personalities I have ever met anywhere - Ghana's emerging joy is to demand that they are the best for african people that highly energised busienss leaders can be.

In neighbouring Ghana, watch out fror Africa's own IBM of tge future to evolve and if you are in ever in need of emergency medical asistance, than you lucky stars for the best flying doctors network in Africa

With the exception of american economists, the world has known for at least half a generation that the exponential rising costs of tv ad spots had spun unsustainably. The opportunity of the internet was to free the first generation of knowledge workers innovation of markets from such dumbing down communications; the threat was that the unique smarts of new mediation would be drowned out by those who preferred command and control by big brother media.

 Norman Macrae’s remembrance party at The Economist Boardroom in 2010 celebrated this fact and is becoming a series of worldwide replays with the help of such microeconomics friends as the Embassy of Japan

 

The dismal social impacts of ads took a globally vicious spiraling turn at the start of the 1990s. This is when they partnered in greenwashing and then  the corporate social irreponsibility which happens whenever the biggest organisation in any market uses it leadership communications to say they cannot afford to be the first to be responsible about the compound risks its industry sector knows most locally about. I guest edited 2 special issues of journals on this distarous loss of freedom for markets to value trust – a triple issue of journal of marketing management in 1999 on the reality of errors global markets had made in 20th C which needed resolving if 21st C was to celebrate goodwill multiplication – and a double special issue of the Journal of Brand management on Total Corporate Responsibility a few years later. Knowing how relatively little this shook up the macroeconomic world, and I am in absolute awe of what 2 fort-something Parisians hosted in 2005.

 

In 2005 Paris broke through with the last sustainability luncheon. Hosted at HEC , it was the peak of 20 years of work of 2 hec alumni. Their first jobs had been at mother theresa’s and a perivian microcredit – these had planted the idea –which they nurtured for 20 years -  that once they had climbed the management ladder sufficiently they would try and host sustainability’s greatest lunch. They chose the soon to be Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus and debated the question what if a cluster of global corporates partnered in grameen being the essence of the world’s most exciting sustainability network of partnerships mediated by the net generation – the ultimate un-greenwashing social media!

 

Riboud of Danone was the first to stand up to the corporate plate with HEC University promising to advertise that it wanted to untrain MBAs and Martin Hirsch prmoising every assistance that government could give in stimulating entrepreneurship as a local alternative to youth unmployment. Soon the remarkable riboud had got timing right to get Nobel the blessing of his shareholders investing in DanoneCommuniteis –The impact would be to reduce the amount marketing spent on ads as fast as he could celebrate with youth the greatest contributions to sustainability of danone’s 3 main sectors milk, water, and grains (the latter innovated a wonderful chinese triad partnerships making this once minor sectir of danone its most extraordinary breakthrough). In France the danone social business chair at HEC is now co-sponsored by schneider electrricity, and veolia envoromental services have committed to innovate what is the most responsible it can brand its sector as.

 

Joining Danone as world leeaders in freeing global markets to celebrate teir greatest responsibilities are the supermnarket wholefoods –see www.wholeplanetfoundation.org and the chip manufacourer Intel see www.grameenintel.com

 A history of attempts to lead a global market without advertising would not be complete without a reference to brasnon whose virgin brand has always been most economical in sectors it led good service news of without ads. A few years ago branson decided he would start open sourcing an entrepreneurship course and chose as his partner taddy blecher free university in s.africa. The good news is that you can enjoy the world’s best entrepreneur course without paying a penny of student loans as long as you commit to pay back with social solution innovations and peer to peer open sourcing of such. There is much more god news to come in out the convergences of partners in s.africa- we are stewarding www.taddyblecher.com until he has time to write it up. Kiva have already joined and the head of Google Africa hubs ideas from the same neibourhood in Joburg.

 Europe -Measured against my father's yardsticks as Europe's most experienced post-war economist, we have as yet done nothing to systematically bend the curve on the sub-prime contagion that became visible in 2008. Therefore it would be prudent to assume that the convergences 2012 paris summit is entrepreneurial europe's (peoples' and youth's) last chance to link in network pre- and post-summit capable of preventing the total economic destruction of a generation of youth

If you need any help in posting suggestions to the summit secretariat, I can try and help. Some of the off piste agenda that currently most interest me as helping to action the joyful youth entrepreneurial revolution we all need to celebrate are:

surveys of university principals

show that few put job creation as their main purpose - those that do are the ones compatible with the entrepreneurial view of economics my father stood for

like banks, universities are a global sectors that could have used tech to become 90% more pro-youth economical by now but as that would have changed the nature of professors work absolutely -requiring thousands to go out with their students into society the way yunus had to in 1974 - we can see that the actualisation of a worldwide SMBA needed more than one lunch to form action networking partnerships round

the 3 most interesting worldwide epicentres of universities for job creation known to me are

1 taddy blecher free university s.africa who is also the person that inspired branson entrepreneur curriculum, has this year launched a great new partnership with kiva, and lives within miles of the head of google africa who was headhunted for the outstanding work on crowdmapping she had done in kenya - I should admit having a bias towards supporting taddy's innovations

EXPONENTIAL IMPACT MODELS
mathematically, (for economics crisis on above zero-sum game impacts see my father's biography of von neumann) the problem writ large is to do with total misvaluation of how to use 1 million times more powerful collaboration technology; consequently as it becomes clearer who are the metrics people that convergences 2015 most linkins around, I would love to know so I can research which I can use in my work of activising shareholders of The Economists; I can get to the ... families who would want The Economist to get back to economics that is pro-youth and pro-devekoment of empowering every global village but they are all overtrumped by the rothschilds who have always been the most difficult family of those owning The Economist to innovate with; I have booked a series of interviews with colleagues my father used to mentor on how to deal with the R

sofia just doublechecking some pervasive links before trip  to GrameenFrance :

 

-did you pick up on this conversation -some of the exciting points being:

chris temple is the epicentre of http://www.mficonnect.com/ and bringing 50 us youth to kenya

it is good to hear he wants to see yunus book - you could write privately that it is 80% likely you can bring him a photocopy especially if his group want to work out to what extent other 50 student microcredit clubs need to change for 2010/11; you might see See if chris’s 50 student group have time to complete the one minute exponentials game dedicated to drucker and claremont- unfortunately like a lot in click age it takes one minute to play but a lifetime (if you have a microentrepreneurial change mindset) to learn, action and correct

 

 greatest productivity game humans will ever play

 

drucker said within 2 generation knowledge workers can be at least 50 time more productive than industrial age - what did he expect sustainability's exponential rising and job creation's value multipliers to be-

 

for example if there were 4 multiplying factors A*B*C*D

 

and let's say

*A=1.6 comes from smart programming of computers

 

* B=3 come from self-esteem energising teamwork and micrentrepreneurial job creation  and sustainability of youth community building

 

*C=3 comes from open source , and knowledge multiplying value in use And other stuff that eg manuel castells http://www.manuelcastells.info/en/index.htm and don tapscott researched that net gens hoped www would be once berners has started this above zero-value game-space up

D=3.5 That in knowledge age we develop great basic community-life critical products at lowest cost eg with help of http://www.grameendanone.tv/ or http://www.grameenintel.com/  and then luxury stuff at higher cost which customises  higher quality to those with very untypical needs from http://yunusforum.net/?p=80 the mass of us who need vibrant open communities. In this process ad spots are wholly redundant (economics can be happy again) but new media like http://www.danonecommunities.com/ is particularly economical -particularly if all london youth celebrate its hi-trust job creation events while very high cost 20th c brands still pay 100 million to be at the sports olympics or going down to the woods today with tiger.  

 ------------------------------

Data on multipliers collecetd - We can then play a recursive questiong game – but remember (as lawyers like Bill Gatwes never wholly does) that these multipliers are the final exponential impact multipliers not last quarters immediate addictions

 RECURSION GAME ON 50 TIMESHave I missed out E altogether (if so how do you describe it); if other people put a number  on the multipliers where would they start having the most opposite view from me – eg is there a group who think its all about brilliant programming independent of the people factors; how do those at eg http://www.londoncreativelabs.com/  moderate a group of them, a group of me , and then a group mixing us until we understand each others -individually passionate and commnally proud brand reality system multipliers
chris is at claremont where rick (who also was yunus booktour 1 LA intervuiewer) is epicentre of all drucker knowledge in a formal way whereas gladius at uni of E london is world epicentre in an informal way and at social entreprise olympics campus - some california unis formed 3500 bookclubs of yunus SB book 1 so both claremon and warner wandsworth Utah networks have a way to go to catch up with knowledge co-working around SB book 2 http://www.publicaffairsbooks.com/publicaffairsbooks-cgi-bin/display?book=9781586488246&view=extras Utah is where Alexis of NYU comes from and she was first USA youth ambassador yunus shook hands with jan 2009; alex will recall he couldnt get up from DC to meet yunus because of a clash of class schedules so insetad I funded him nearly 50 tickets on february day yunus came to DC, GWU and IMF. Alex started microcredit clubs in boston region schools which peter ryans microloanfoundation has now spread into the eharof MIT and sloan management school who used to sponsor my dad's books, along with te california instituite of contemporary studies that sponsored dad and my 1984 book that predicted the 2010s denoument between one Nobel Microecomist, www youth networkers and a BBC that hasnt yet got its world service SB act together http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html#Anchor-Changin-27687 I recall a very clear pledge that 40 londoners made in 2005 to give the olympics back to paris if the BBC doesnt value freedom of speech for sustainability games more than spectator sports.

France to support Yunus on social business

Nobel Laureate, Boutin present report on social dimension of globalisation

to Sarkozy

UNB, Dhaka

 
 

Former Housing Minister of France Christine Boutin and Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus presented the interim report on the social dimension of globalisation to French President Nicolas Sarkozy at an official ceremony at Elysee Palace on Thursday.


They briefed the president on the French action plan on the social front during French Presidency of G20 summit next year, a release of the Yunus Centre said yesterday.

Christine Boutin presented her interim report on the social dimension of globalisation to Sarkozy in presence of Professor Muhammad Yunus. The head of state had commissioned this report to Boutin in December 2009, in the framework of the French presidency of the G20 Summit.

Sarkozy paid tribute to the work of Muhammad Yunus, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006, and the contribution of the Grameen Bank and microcredit in the fight against poverty.


The president also assured France's support to his work, which aims to develop “social business”, in the actions of the international community at the service of development.

Proposals included in Boutin's report are echo back to two pillars of the French presidency: food safety, which will be key on the agenda for the development of the G20 and corporate social responsibility.


Sarkozy also thanked Boutin for her comprehensive work, and emphasised that the social aspect of globalisation would be at the heart of the French presidency of the G20.
