Our online STIR Peace sharing event on January 25th, 2022
What do we need to achieve lasting peace in the world? During the first half of 2022 we will organize a set of online encounters to share ideas, invite to an open dialogue and possible actions together. The kickoff is on January 25th, 2022 (17:00 – 19:00 CET, Amsterdam time). The program has been put together by our Global Peace Ambassador and musician, Ukpeme Okon.
The agenda combines dialogue with music and art. You can register in advance and free of charge for the zoom event here:
What is a 4 x WIN project?
The role of the “Sustainocrat”
In our fragmented society it is difficult to find anyone to represent all these values together and take sole responsibility. Government has a territorial responsability and can set the scene for 4 x WIN engagement. Furthermore science and education need to be involved to share knowledge and insights. Innovative entrepreneurship can introduce new technologies or services and citizens will have to start using them, often show a change in behavior to do so.
In order to connect each of these important disciplines into a 4 x WIN setting for fastest and integral results, we need an independent connecting person (usually two, one to chair the meetings and safeguard the higher purpose, the other to administer the means that will be allocated to the ventures). We call these “the Sustainocrats”.
Often each of these legs at the table are used to inform each other to certain extend and if they try to work together it is through a trade. At the 4 x WIN table they are asked to cocreate a common goal (for instance air quality improvements through new mobility or food resilience in and around a city environment….). They complexity requires efforts of all stakeholders together in order to become most effective. For most of the participants this is a new way of interacting and taking shared responsibility for a common goal. The Sustainocrats tend to be experienced mediators that coach the participating organization through participatory learning, workshops and feedback loops.
4 x Win Index
MDE Index or the Multidimensional Entrepreneurship Index
Modern enterprises, or institutions, no matter what their identity is (government, business or science), are becoming increasingly values driven. This means that they justify their existance by the contributions they represent in the societal ecosystem of sustainable human wellness.
This is a very different world than the one we leave behind. This was measured entirely by financial dependence and goals, referred to as 1 x Profit (1 x WIN) or the single bottom line profitability. This world would pass any human, social and ecological consequences of its functioning to society while focussing entirely on its own selfish financial excellence. This old way of working would differentiate business (1 x WIN) from governance (3 x COST) where governance would try to sustain itself through financial debts, taxes and regulations. 4 x WIN (the Pyramid Paradigm) brings the institutions together within the common purpose of values driven societal and ecological wellness for sustainable human progress.
The MDE 4 x WIN Index highlights those who produce genuine value
In the image below we see why we have such huge problems in the world and how we can solve them through the transition towards 4 x WIN (Sustainocracy).
The image also shows the mayor transition required for all involved to move from 1 x WIN/3 x LOSS to 4 x WIN. Those who do will take the benefits as the old 1 x WIN environment will gradually disappear. The transition to 4 x WIN by citizens and institutions is an awareness driven ecolution even though it is often sensed by those in the process as a revolution for themselves. They feel however reassured in the process when sensing the appreciation and engagement of the surroundings that undergoes the same evolutionary challenges.
The 4 x WIN Index is yet another stimulous to develop this environment and make it grow with more and more institutions making the move from 1 x WIN to 4 x WIN. Sustainocracy creates environments where institutions can develop themselves in this servant environment and enter a positive learning curve with many gratifying impulses. Examples of such 4 x WIN environments are:
- AiREAS – health and environmental quality
- FRE2SH – city farming and rural food resilience development
- COS3i – social citizen’s inclusion in core human values driven processes
- School of Talents & Wellness – participatory learning in 4 x WIN
- Earthbeat – engagement of world wide youth through video sharing of 4 x WIN initiatives
