Saffo's New Creator: Be Interactive. Be Personal.
Paul Saffo recently had an excellent article up on his site about what he calls the “creator economy,” which he believes is the new economic future. Here is my communication to him about the importance of creators and personability.Dear Mr. Saffo,I loved your article on “Creators.” As you state, creators are both producers and consumers, whereas in the past, markets were simply consumer driven, or producer driven. This new type of ‘creator’ is both, and requires a new type of interaction.I…See More

Think Out of the Money Box and Into the Meaning Box
Beyond Money and Into MeaningBy Pamela HawleyWe've lost more than 2 million jobs in the past three months. You've not only lost your job, but it's going to be competitively difficult to find a new one. Companies are not only shutting down budgets but even shutting down themselves.So instead of jumping right back into the job market, people are taking some time to think more about their lives. In many ways, it's actually a wonderful position to be in: To reassess what you value, what you care…See More

- Hi Pamela. Today I spent several hours reviewing an older gentleman's water treatment technology and having read your material and looking at your website, I had a thought about how to tweak giving programs such as yours as a way to facilitate funding of socially advantageous projects or entities. Other than offering donors choices, what if donors were specifically asked to fund nonprofit socially advantageous startups relevant to their fields of business? For instance Coca Cola might fund innovative water treatment if the entity was established as a nonprofit.
I thought maybe there was a way to encourage innovation if donor's charitable contributions were specifically channeled into causes or entities that not only benefit them, but also directly benefit the public, which may also be a component of their customer base.
I suppose the point here would be for donors to encourage innovation instead of just contributing to stale programs that are locked in the status quo of administrative survival. I also thought that by funding entities in this way, it might help move society toward recognition of the value of removing the profit motive from business toward a more effective or efficient use of capital, but still provide for a stream of innovation with socially advantageous or altruistic motivations as a driver. I guess it would be something like "funding innovation through altruism." Enough for tonight. I am always available for strategy consulting or writing projects. Enjoy your endeavors. richard
