While Sustainability and CSR are a step in the right direction, they are largely incremental and failing to deliver the transformations needed for a thriving future. Breakthrough innovations at business model and ecosystem levels must be catalysed by top management through strategy, design and quality processes, to deliver positive impact growth. Investors will support well thought through, highly measurable initiatives.
Sustainability is as much a challenge of changing our mental models as it is a problem of dealing with the flows of materials, energy and resources effectively and sustainably. ThriveAbility is a response to the failure of sustainability to address this psychological challenge, and integrates existing disciplines in creative ways, leading to innovative, game changing outcomes. Personal and organisational transformation is the key to a Thriving Future. What motivates people to change lies at the heart of ThriveAbility.
The ThriveAbility Approach provides a decision framework for such mind-sets and incentives. This seminar offers a deep dive into ThriveAbility, and will show you how it can be embedded into organisations through Factor 100 Change. In “Embedding ThriveAbility” we will explore:
¨ The current global megatrends and gaps that need to be closed for a sustainable future:
¨ The emerging “North Star” that serves as a reality check for all decision makers;
¨ Replicable strategies for accelerated organisational and business ecosystem transformation;
¨ How integral psychology enables us to deliver profound change for ThriveAbility.
At its core, ThriveAbility brings a whole systems, integral approach to large scale change based on a synthesis of top down and bottom up ways of enabling shifts to emerge when and where they are required. Creating sustainable value through sustainable innovation requires us to:

It's not easy to write about new technology, when it has not yet been patented without revealing prior art.
My research has taken a huge leap forward recently. I exhibited at the Bristol venturefest in Nov. I met an electronic design specialist there, who made a suggestion to me. Long story made short, within five weeks I had made a new, smaller prototype and tested it in his laboratory with fantastic results. Previously I could show my inventive design changes made a 22% improvement over 'standard' hho technology, using a smaller, less expensive design.
This 'electronic control' advance to HHO technology demonstrated a potential 104% improvement over 'standard' HHO technology.
In short, we fixed both the inherent problems in 'standard' hho technology. (1. electrical Current 'runaway', when the standard hho generator draws more and more amps from the vehicles alternator. 2. Long warm up period- standard HHO generators take 20-40 minutes to reach optimum…

1. Algae biofuels
If economic cutbacks do not intervene then 12 per cent of aviation fuel could come from algae by 2030. Mexico hopes to reach 1 per cent within four years. The first algae-fuelled car was put on the road in 2009. Algae fuel, a liquid looking similar to vegetable oil, releases only a fifth of the carbon emissions of fossil fuels and could be made in efficient coastal ponds. The big…

“Elementary my dear Watson” say those who have paid attention to the reawakening awareness of energy’s broader definitions.
As the potential and expanding applications of ‘glass’ foretell, one can be supremely assured that as Energy’s evolutionary applications, which have been stagnating since the late forties, unfold, the Star Wars concept, “beam me up, Scotty” is about to…

Exceptionalism is the perception that a country, society, institution, movement, or time period is "exceptional" (i.e., unusual or extraordinary) in some way and thus does not need to conform to normal rules or general principles. Used in this sense, the term reflects a belief formed by lived experience, ideology, perceptual …Continue

A powerful message. This was filmed about a year ago at a live event at the Boulder Integral center where Ken teaches regularly. I love how Ken offers such an inspiring challenge to all of us in the Integral community. When I watched this again recently, it put me in touch with the real power of engaging in Integral practice, which is about bringing consciousness to the whole of our being. As Ken says in the video, part of the responsibility for holding an Integral vision is practicing your…Continue

I came across this powerful quote this morning, after spending some time reading one of my favourite Deepak Chopra tomes: "The Book of Secrets". What would we and the world be like if we were operating from this kind of awareness, in an integral way, informed by the nature of the unfolding spiral of our own evolution in the context of the evolution of each other? And how would we make a different kind of a difference?"If you want to become an enlightened person, if you long for inner freedom…Continue
Embedding ThriveAbility – Beyond Sustainability
Join us from 28-30 June2013 and become part of a transformative conversation that will help embed sustainable innovation and profound change in our organisations and economies. You will be challenged to find answers to some of the most perplexing questions facing executives and policymakers today, including:
¨ What is success in a green, inclusive economy? What is the gap between where we are and where we need to be? How can we close that gap through enjoyable experiences for our stakeholders?
¨ How can we define policies for ThriveAbility that include a joint reality check that aligns key stakeholders around a “North Star”, resulting in quantifiable, implementable business ecosystem visions and pathways?
¨ What are the absolute minimum deliverables in specific timeframes for ThriveAbility, from the global and national policy levels down to business ecosystems and organisations?
¨ What kind of leadership can align the diverse stakeholder needs that will enable ThriveAbility to become embedded in organisations and business ecosystems everywhere?
¨ How can different industries and organisations redefine their core competencies and contributions in the light of an adaptation plan?
