Actionable Impact Management Guidebooks
Assessing the risk and impact of you investments, grants and social business is complex and time consuming. Often feedback from capital deployment to outcome created, and learnings are not properly aligned. Having an outcome lifecycle platform from defining the impact strategy, metrics selection, result data collection, analysis, insight, and reporting can bring necessary accountability that impact space demands.

By 2030 5 billion people will need housing, infrastructure, services, food, healthcare, education, decent jobs and natural resources, with growing threats to society from climate change, water/food insecurity and ecological destruction. There is consensus among UN agencies and national governments to tackle these challenges and sufficient investment capital is available but not released due to lack of city region capacity and investment mechanisms. Computing and communications technology, geospatial data volumes and modelling skills have now improved significantly to enable integrated planning & investment decision making at the city community level to release this capital into the right projects. Our 2030 Roadmap action plan shows how $100 million core funding can create open-source software tools and facilitate release of $3.5 trillion/year of risk informed capital into city regions to enable 5 billion people by 2030 to live safe, healthy, productive, prosperous, fulfilling lives.
Permaculture expansion crash test
This solution emerged from discussions between an expert in business models and a couple of permaculturists. Permaculture is a system of agricultural and social design principles centered on simulating or directly utilizing the patterns and features observed in natural ecosystems. It has many branches that include but are not limited to ecological design, ecological engineering, environmental design, construction and integrated water resources management that develops sustainable architecture, and regenerative and self-maintained habitat and agricultural systems modeled from natural ecosystems. It holds an enormous potential for solving many of our and our environment problems (pluri-SDG!). However, it is surprisingly slow in getting known more widely. A co-creator of the Business Model Crash Test and a couple of permaculturists are willing to invite G3iD participants to brainstorm on ways to make the permaculture approach spread faster than ever!
