Imagine having two seats at your organisation’s board table or your project’s board – one for the planet and one for the children.
In the prince2 project methodologyĀ a board is an equal number of customers and supplier representatives – that is, people who’ll receive the result of the project and those supplying the bits to bring it to be. I’ve seen this work well as the two important stakeholders have a voice.
Throw in the planet and the children and BOOM we’ve got the future represented. So simple. So sweet.
Thanks to BFry for the origin of these thoughts by Peta Kelly inĀ this podcastĀ {really worth a listen – go beyond the different language used and listen to the end}.

It was thrilling to see Bitcoin go to over US$2,000 last week. It’s not just about the monetary value of these new currencies though. It’s how the base technology (the blockchain) is providing a new platform from which to do business, to conduct transactions, to share personal information, and much more in a way that’s decentralised – i.e. not biased or influenced or potentially corrupted by those in power locally, by government, large organisations, and powerful individuals. It’s providing the opportunity to reimagine processes or systems that aren’t working as well as they could in the world.
If you’ve not yet heard or read much about the future possibilities of money and tech in the global economy, here are introductory links ~
The role of cryptocurrencies presented at last week’sĀ Ethereal Summit. I highly recommend watching this full video. The first 4 minutes highlight where banking is headed, how online currencies could become the backbone to improve many systems in the world, and how they’re also not a ‘golden chalice’. At 10:30 there’s mention of how through the blockchain you can pay for your coffee at a cafe and also directly tip the coffee farmer a very small amount without fees on either side. There are incredible supply chain opportunities as the supporting tech comes to be and great opportunities in developing countries too.
Any other suggestions? Email me and I’ll keep the list going and distributed here.

Micropartnerships.
One of the great learnings I have from creating the Do Lectures here in Australia was the great gains from creating fast partnerships with brands / companies who increase the value provided to customers. This would play out by one of us havingĀ a sudden idea of a brand that could offer something to people attending then we’d get in touch via phone or email or through mutual contacts and really quickly we’d have products or experiences people could enjoy.
With this knowledge and as I see companies becoming more globally competitive, it’s powerful and increasingly necessary to have a proactive curiosity around what customers value and could gain from, an openness to get in touch with anyone who can help provide it and being aware of how to quickly build trust.
Who could you partner with fast to increase the worth to your customers? How can you quickly create trust?
