ALL THE WORLDS A STAGE With due respect to William Shakespeare:
All the world’s a stage, –YES PLEASE ... a poor player that struts and frets his hour and then is heard
no more – NO THANKS
Which are the 2 most important meetings that people will ever convene?
Time will tell. However sustainability’s globe will probably look back for the first most
important meeting ever convened to the city of Oslo towards the end of 2006. Yes We Can choose maps to navigate around
this occasion as marking a magic moment in humanity’s productivity and creativity – the turning point in the way
the overall system design of globalization’s free markets spin from exponentially destroying sustainability to exponentially
renewing it.
How’s that?
Nobel Prizes for peace always make for inspiring celebrations –ones that end years, however dismal, on a note that there is hope.
Are you and us right to dream that one day peace will propose to economics, and a hi-trust marriage will be the familial reconciliation?
The 2006 Nobel Prize award was peculiarly significant for future leadership as it planted a transformation of
its world stage in two ways. First, it was awarded in two halves. Second, both halves believed that the sustainability of
the world’s networking societies and economies could entrepreneurially collaborate in open sourcing future interactions
of knowledge that multiplies value in use.
New media can be defined as composed of the communal kind where celebration
and world famous celebrity-making need no longer be publicly limited to a process of global audiences clapping hands as passive
spectators to history’s solo performances.
A TALE OF 2 CAPITALISMS
One half of the Nobel
prize was awarded to 7 million women. Illiterate as their beginnings had been they demonstrate that every human being is born
with creativity inside. The human capacity that can be income generating and through which people make more jobs than Information
Technology takes. They have invested in a free market exchange sharing knowledge openly across a network of 125000 hubs. This
channels how hundreds of replicable franchises are banked together as “social business system designs” –
transparent mathematical proof that mapping microeconomic models compounds 10 times more economic consequences for communities.
What extraordinary good news for 21st Century humanity to integrate around contrasted with what macroeconomists
has spun around globalization, which started ironically in 1984 the year that George Orwell had made famous in his future
warnings scenario. When technology makes the globe more connected that separated please, don’t fall into the poverty
trap and the compound risks of earth being superpowered over by big brother capitalism. To be, lets collaboratively and naturally
web the whole truth of what a worldwide spins when empowered by little sister capitalism.
In practical terms our
7 million heroines – and world class female investors in sustainability - already offer us benchmarks for freeing 3
global market sectors: banking, clean energy and mobilizing digital media around transparently increasing the productivity
of the poorest communities instead of ramping up consumption bubbles out of the world’s biggest capitals. As we know
from the close of the Zeroes, humanity needs to step back from being valued by wall street’s biggest systems and the
pressures of making individual tigers macroeconomic gods.
MAN WHO DARES US TO MULTIPLY MICRO 1000 TIMES TO SCALE
MOUNT SUSTANABILITY
To Muhammad Yunus, December 2006 was not just a wonderful prize but his lifetime’s
opportunity to transform beyond being seen as only a navigator of micro worlds. He had satred a journy intent on demonstrating
the value multipliers of collaboration partners in sustainability being our generatins greartes innovation advantage. This
much we know he could see by December 2006 thanks to the micro bank of 7 million women’s social business systems, Nobel
and the first Global Grameen branding partnership Grameen Danone. While 2007-2009 proved to be the bleakest years ever financially recorded in NW Capital Cities, social business networkers
linking in with YUnUS were exploring new freedoms and happinesses. Dr Yunus spent 1997 preparing a book on social business 1.0 and 40 city world your for 2008.
By the summer of 2008, Nobel made a remarkable extension of their world stage endorsing Dhaka and its youth
networkers in particular as en route to every sustainability city. They opened the Nobel museum inside the bank for the poor
and the head judge of the peace panel celebrated this launch with a speech shared by 1000 Bangladeshi youth. Late 2008 was
to see one of the first great boardgames of collaboration entrepreneurs start to unite players – the goal end nurseless
villages – the model partnering form Grameen Nurse Institute
By November 2009, it was time to join 2 celebrations Germany’s 20th
fall of the wall and Global Grameen’s launch of 12 collaboration partnerships. This book is one way to explore the extraordinary
invitations 100 first alumni of Global Grameen at Volkswagen’s Autostadt in Wolfsburg – can we, shall we collaborate
through the 2010s to multiply grameen’s micro social business system 1000 times beyond its current 7 million members
so that 7 billion people know how to play microeconomics sustainability’s games?

Prime Minister Gordon Brown: Hello How are you, what
a pleasure
Muhammad Yunus: It’s a pleasure
for me
PM :It’s good to see you
(They Shake Hands)
Scene 2 Muhammad Yunus Introduces himself to the camera from the heart of 10 Downing Street
I am Muhammad Yunus from Bangladesh with Grameen bank. We lend money to extremely
poor people for income generating activities. I am suggesting that Africa needs a lot of microfinance programs
– tiny loans 30 dollar, 45 dollar 100 dollar – and paid back in weekly installments. It doesn’t need any
collateral. It doesn’t need any lawyers into it but the repayment rate is very high: 98% or 99%.
Microfinance is very important because it allows
people to bring out their own initiative, bring out their own capability. And they can move on their own speed to cerate income,
to get out of poverty. And people in Africa are very enterprising people, particularly women. Microfinance
focuses on women. Today in Bangladesh within Grameen Bank we have 7.5 million borrowers a- 97% of them women. The Prime Minister
is very much aware of it; very supportative of it. So we will discuss how to make it happen in Africa
Scene 3 PM and Dr Yunus sitting round a cup of tea
PM There is so much goodwill to the work you have been
doing, and it is so important
Scene 4After tea:
Muhammad Yunus denouement
At the same time, we will be
discussing another concept – the social business :business to do good to people -(show
copy of Dr Yunus new bestselling book Creating a World Without Poverty- Social Business, The Future of Capitalism ).This is business where you aim at the social objectives, not for making money for yourself. You cover your cost, make
profit but the profit doesn’t go to investors or outsiders but stays with the company to achieve the goal that you set
out to help achieve or lead.
