CO2 emissions reduction- fuel savings- a new and cheap approach

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.

ThriveAbility- Co-Creating a Thriving World in the 21st Century Together

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.

What makes ThriveAbility different?

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:

  • Recognise and align the very different value systems and priorities motivating people and organizations to move toward ThriveAbility, to  create coherent, effective initiatives
  • Reframe the relationship between nature, technology and human psychology so that we see ourselves in new ways and gain insights into the unique role we each play as leaders in the shift from surviving in a merely sustainable world to thriving in a flowering, global second Renaissance
  • Redefine three fundamental relationships between sustainability to wellbeing, innovation to personal development, and happiness to a thriving society, within in the context of the “Thrival Equation”
  • Prioritise and invest our time, energy money and resources into initiatives, projects, programs and businesses that maximise the Thrival Equation.

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…

8 Great Philosophical Questions That We'll Never Solve

Posted by R2Ning Administrator on May 7, 2013 at 6:30pm 0 Comments

By: George Dvorsky

Philosophy goes where hard science can't, or won't. Philosophers have a license to speculate about everything from metaphysics to morality, and this means they can shed light on some of the basic questions of existence. The bad news? These are questions that may always lay just beyond the limits of our comprehension.
 
Here are eight mysteries of philosophy that we'll probably never resolve.

1. Why is there something rather than nothing?

Our presence in the universe is something too bizarre for words. The mundaneness of our daily lives cause us take our existence for granted — but every once in awhile we're cajoled out of…

Inner Transparency- Outer Coherence?

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

Ahead I Ahead- Ralph Thurm's Thriveability Thinking

http://aheadahead.wordpress.com/

Beyond Sustainability-28-30 June 2013

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?
