3 It is fortunate and tragic ironical that the entrepreneurial network reality of slumdog millionnaire is a mobile grameencredit replication in kenya.  

5.1 another concept I want to rehearse with you is publication of an annual yearbook on future capitalism; since we have missed the connectivity of  a newsletter at the top of grameen.com from the start of the book launch, I think that the combination of what future capitalism innovations dr yunus partners each year and progress towards safe banking and yes can momentum and millennium goals needs annual reporting as well as becoming a casebook for SMBA

- if we can work out what way of asking dr yunus about this quickly , i think it would be easy to get a publisher if he loves the idea

6 I need next week to start phoning any education gurus that we feel could help by being at dialogue - I think you have previously voted for lucknow Gandhis and Taddy Blecher -anyone else-  presume I should phone up Glasgow uni; its a pity that we don’t seem to be have given the name of the main Bangladesh guy I met as he was taking dr yunus off to celebrations he had planned on Sunday night when I got the 15 minutes with dr yunus at the hotel du vin; he had told me that he wanted us to stay in touch but that he had cone without his business card (now so important both because of the glasgow grameen replication experiment and the billionnaire scot sir tom hunter being the linking in entrepreneurial revolutionary glad o see adam smith’s map of free markets being applied wholly to end poverty’s most urgent productivities and demasnds

 6.1 in a saner systems world I really wanted to put a lot more of my time back on education revolution for my 12 year old daughter's sake - we are so far off the revolution the internet could have been in schools that it makes me angry- there is to my knowledge exactly one practice group of teachers etc that have spent the last 25 years exploring the netfuture scenario http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html that could have been - they are hidden away in new zealand - I have their books; one of them is probably what jamii bora would write up as part of its own business school curriculum; I am interested that ingrid munro mentioned 3 obscure universities as helping her - i will have to try and see if I can search my notes on that

7  I get the impression that there wont be a meeting with dr yunus on this visit but perhaps the opportunity to deliver him a letter - is that how you see it

8 is there anyone at else I should have another go at on friday or what is it you need next so that london become; have you and peter ryan fixed meeting with laura and http://chain-recation.org and her links up to the PM’s social action committee

Slumdog Entrepreneur

When my wife and I slipped into our theater seats to watch Slumdog Millionaire, we braced ourselves for a journey into urban slums, a world inhabited by over one billion people globally.  

But unlike the movie-goers in the theater that night who pinned their hopes for one chai wallah (tea seller) escaping the horrors of the slums of Mumbai, India, on the long-shot odds of his winning the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, we knew that right now there is a tool that has helped not just one movie character but more than 100 million of the world’s poorest people actually begin to escape the worst devastations of poverty.  That opportunity is not a game show but microcredit—small loans to start or expand businesses like selling tortillas or cell phone time to your neighbors.  And if there was an Oscar for assisting beggars, thieves, and prostitutes to find a dignified route out of the slums, I’d know where to look for the winner.

mostofa can you help me develop clauses of this over the next few days (some of these clauses we may not use but they help recall the overall compass of what you and I have promised dr yunus over the last 18 months and 10 meetings, or coversely you have bee asked by dr yunus to pilot) clause 1 : through existing forum, microuni clubs, collaboration cafes , barackobama.com and other community rising movements (eg Boston 1000) before june we will pilot at least 10 things that either dr yunus has mentioned that he wants structured into Bangladesh micro youth forums OR which youth who actively network social business entrepreneurship vote for asking dr yunus and other Bangladeshi microcredit leaders to help connect 1.1 some examples of the ten that are already being worked on*Bangla5000 (since Bali microcreditsummit specification by Dr Yunus)*develop a web linking 1000 social businesses (since sheraton towers youth meeting with dr yunus)*outline what youth would like to see as content if a future capitalism and smba annual fieldbook is to be published as a sequel on replicable practices of ending poverty (this builds on publication  of the 5 methods of innovating collaboration that Bangladesh's first third century has open sourced worldwide) 1.2 more specifically on bangla5000 , we will try the brand chartering survey of opinions- who in the world would miss what if some of the following systems did not exist*Bangladesh*Microcredit*Social Business as an organizational governance system*Yunus*Youth networks of Yes We Can*Future Capitalism partnerships between the world's most resourced organizations and the grassroots networks responsible for solutions/service of life critical needs since lamiya's team coordinate communications, it would help if they too filled in this brand identifiers survey- they dont have to do it for each of the above- just those that matter passionately to them (back in jan 2008 I left my 1995 book that created the genre of scaling worldwide brands as learning organisations with unique purposes) This survey is relevant because it tells us what to look for in certifying membership of the Bangal5000 network which will happen by june; it is also a step in understanding how to deal with the number 1 challenge we committed to help dr  yunus team with in first week of 2008 - ie that Bangladesh has some replicable open source franchises that are  vital to collaborate around if end poverty is to be the network generation's mission but currently only about 1% of people who want to end poverty both are aware that Bangladesh is at the epicenter of some of these methods or know how to practice them- as discussed at that time this particular challenge involves as many youth qualifying in big cities with SMBAs as MBAs clause 2 - we will review where the world banking crisis stands, and perception that yes we can  Obama  administration is on course to prevent this from diverting millennium goals- we will ask whether there is a menu of segmented banking concepts drawing on all of Bangladesh’s or the deep 10's segmented microcredit services which the whole dialogue group needs to know the existence of and talk about wherever we go that remains in community banking crisis; we will listen to whether Bernanke has facilitated any new laws to make microcredit simple to start up in USA clause 3 - before leaving Dhaka we will write up a declaration/invitation to youth networks signed by both youth representatives and microcredit leaders - this will be one step towards evolving microyouthsummit - eg it might either declare a youth social networking goal for 2015 or agree how to do an opinion poll of what that could be and which youth networks need surveying; we will ask that Bangladesh’s microcredit leaders form a professorial or other opinion leader panel which commits to help celebrate any youth practices (and action plans) that progress this declaration; this clause can review inspirations listed by dr yunus in chapter 11 of future capitalism boom to ensure we have consistency between youth fashions and those that change how leadership responsibility is valued (in mass media worlds, 90% of all branding fashions ultimately are propagated by youth including what leaders communicate) clause 4 - we will have invited those at the forefront of educational change - eg taddy blecher free university movement, the Gandhi's lucknow school - either to attend the dialogue so we can unite progress towards education designed round microentrepreneurial job creation or to be involved in debriefings from the dialogue clause 5 - we will share a map of what social action alumni networks are scaling up around the world such as the Boston 1000 to 10000 meetings; the green children action celebrations of you can hear me now; Vivian’s target date for releasing the blockbuster movie -can we invite someone close to slumdog millionaire to the dialogue and indeed does part of the audience of this 8-oscar winning movie have a social action subnetwork clause 6 - we will look at whether youth wants to develop stories (and maps of lead social action networks) for some more specific bridging networks such asend poverty and go greenend poverty and child healthcare as a right

end poverty and internet for poor or mobile leapfrogging such as http://bankabillion.org

mostofa you also need to reinsert at http://yunusforum.net some of the core text like youth ambassadors cos that was how we found some of the most connected undergraduates - taking that down was a backward step

Grameen's 3 most youth inspiring www businesses where www's other meanings include
win-win-win and world wide waves, as we end decade 1 of century 21 seem to propagate the joys and freedoms of solar, mobile and micro.

London feb 26 Yunus connects london with the joy of solar at the Ashden network meeting sponsored by the sainsbury family, who along with the cadbury family, have long influenced which of the 3 types of economics get edited at The Economist - macro, micro or collaborative.

In view of Wall Street's Collapse : it is evident beyond reasoning that global's first quarter century has allocated far too much share of voice to macro; it is to be hoped that the bangladeshi antidotes of micro and collaborative economic valuation systems can rule the waves out of london from this moment on.
April 08- British Banking Collapses- Number 10 hears Micro Solutions; Jan08 - 9 year old New Yorker helps forecast subprime meltdown


Certainly these hopes would be endorsed by scottish entrepreneurs including the founder of The Economist whose 1843 launch prospectus was to use hi-trust adma smith modeles of community-up economics to end empire both out of London and in India. Sadly James Wilson died before his time 10 months into an ambitious attempt to change raj economics which he had taken him to calcutta where he died or dehydration which BRAC now treats at 10 cents a cure.

Ironically for my family, it was nearly 60 years later that Gandhi started mentoring my maternal grandfather -one of bar of London barrister to another -for quarter of a century. This integrated a personal and end-colonial system transformation -from early 1920s imprisoning Gandhi in Bombay to 1040s helping write up the legalese of India's indrpendence. Gandhi never wanted the separation of what became 2 and then 3 parts - today's India, NW to Pakistan and East to Bangladesh. It was in present day Bangladesh that my father as a teenager first studied economics becoming Europe's senior microeconomics journalist and network age futures mapmaker. His day job in Bangla was for the RAF, waiting to navigate airplanes in world war 2.

Compounding too much macro-intellect is never a sustainable leadership journey whether your compass is banking, energy or simply living up to the world service vision of every child's right to be born into an action learning life of microentrepreneurial freedom and happiness, let alone health and communications (media and community structures) whose valuation compounds family-loving safety.

Lauren & Boston, wonderful thanks - you might see if a joint approach to SE lab between your team and Marriah Star's team makes sense -especially with his approaching timeline for wave 1 of boston 1000 meeting - it could also be the start of a small interactive survey of are there other units across the boston institutes that may wish to bridge microloans and yes we can job creation as well as future of safe banks and sustainability/transparent investment in main street-  has anyone ever engaged MIT's tim berners lee in networking or iqbal quadir without whom grameen probably wouldnt have seized mobile market in time

I can report the view from grameen solutions is that empowering job creation out of community is no longer a pursuit just of ending poverty but of all collaborative entrepreneurial networks/communities of action learning what services are in most future need of solution/replication, and so value multipying work

having talked to dr yunus'  US publisher day before yesterday there is a chance of a social business annual yearbook written round the question under 25 most want asking; I will try and get dr yunus to assess the second phase of this opportunity while he's visiting london (end of coming week)- in DC on Yunus meet Bernanke day, he already signed his editorial interest in tidying up what bangladesh has actioned learned about collaborative networking in the nation's first third century of sustainable worldwide trade

whether all sides will agree to this timeline will doubtless need some pushy emails

MAGIC OF MICROCREDIT IS MICROEVERYTHINGhttp://www.youtube.com/profile?user=safebanks&view=favorites

of course being the most trusted banking network in a country isn’t only about money, its about everything human beings want to do through life, and parent through their children's lives, or prioritise communal demands around valuing culturally and inter-culturally; its about happiness and freedom, independence and interdependence and anything else worth humanly uniting around or debating through freedom of speech

 both muhammad yunus whose alumni  networks collaboratively mentor JB http://jamiibora.net  and JB itself aim through a generation to invest in everything of life-critical community importance (have you seen one of the yunus10000 dvds yet)? as humanity gets more and more wholly networked or if you prefer mandela-ubuntued;  http://mandelauni.com http://clintonuni.com http://obamauni.com http://yunusuni.com

JB (whilst only 10 year old as one of the planet's most inspiring networks for humanity)  gravitates the world's most effective health insurance policy at the level of 250000 members; it has the human connecting capacity (and transparency of hi-trust multiplying maps and youthful interactions) to be the number 1 social business http://socialbusiness.tv  and future capitalism paradigm to benchmark for community healthcare out of africa if not worldwide

 unlike grameen JB's original networking and brand/community dna multiplied around empowering mobile youth task forces as well as more isolated rural womens centres; over time JB yes we can's identity is capable of replicating any service whose human knowhow can be mapped, empowered and open sourced as a local service franchise ; since Obama's number 1 foreign assistance on health is end death by mosquito by 2015 http://malaria2015.com , it would be absurd if his advisers (and their ultimate ability to influence direction of billion dollar end malaria funding) do not soon test market community-rising methods of being smarter at networking than the mosquito in partnership with JB;

Tom introduced this question to Alex and I at George Washington University , Dc Thursday. Put another way his graduate team of info tech experts need a project to complete before may 09 - and are wondering what in microcredit or social business world needs developing and making transparent as an interactive web based exchange

Some rehearsals in my mind -please do tell us if you have lively ones

A If Sam Daley Harris is helping get 93 congressmen http://www.results.org/website/article.asp?id=3709 to lobby world bank to develop an open university learning exchange around the 10 most exciting microredit network models of ending poverty - is there a student Q&A exchange that needs linking around these 10 founders and all their projects. So far the score is 3/3 yes please among founders of inspiring microcredits that I have polled.

B (actually I see why this cant be researched out of a university) an updating league table of which economics professors you trust a  minute of your time on saving the economy  - so guess better facebook it http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=65139457016

C in research of collaboration entrepreneurs (but how say you)  currently the greatest missing web directories are on social business- there are at least 4 ways I would like a web's catalogue to help me search social business out of one source

1 the dedicated and sustainable-proven social business model- similar to prahalad's searches - aims to entrepreneurially design a basic but vital service at least 10 times lower cost than served in rich cities- searching social business cases which have achieved this shows common patterns that can be designed round:

these include zero marketing cost (ie no adverts etc ) - this requires a service so good it will word of mouth and is helped if there are free market channels and media owned by the poorest instead of the richest

training poorest people locally- what would not be a working wage for a big city professional to come and install solar in a poor rural village does very nicely thank you if you train up a poor person in the village to install solar- grameen expects to have qualified 100000 solar women engineers out of the villages in the next 5 years as discussed by our 10000 youth dvd dialogue friends http://yunus10000.com

not offering and confusing te market with the noise of 100 me-too varieties

largely open sourcing and network replicating franchise knowhow instead of patenting it

offering multiple pricing points- grameen arsenic-decontaminated water will cost 1000 times more if you want it put in a plastic bottle and hand delivered than if you will take your own gallon container and one tap provided in each village; conversely this means that grameen-veolia water will be served at least 100 times cheaper than any corporation has offered water at (free markets of the sort adam smith intended http://api.ning.com/files/X*EGR5KvH*dG7Q7k*0Bo*NsCyHSGGmMei2ihrTGoPmzkK0Zuz-dIjuVaRRdockvz3G0T3dyquVFr0uLIytWU8nZNJmYG4DK5/adamsmithgoodbankarchives.pdf

2 Innovation Partnerships in Socal Business between organisations with the most resources amd organisations serving the most desperate needs at the grassroots

-as well as knowing who is joining up in this way- global sector by sector these partnerships offere a benchmark for what the greatest responsibility of a fre eglobal market can sustain - instead of the opposite externalisation economics of the greatest compound risk we can outsource

-efficiently such future capitalism partnerships offer a chance to end maddening billion dolar advertising campaigns of image-marketing replacing reality-marketing (something that some of my professional peers have been trying to reverse for 20 years now even though big 5 man cons or big 3 ad agencies sacked us every time they found out that we tried to do innovation that advances human lot)

3) small team attempts by students and others of at least a year's duration to design and proof-test a vital services or knowhow franchise that could become a replicable social business - Yunus is very clear on this- you abolutely dont need to be trained up as a financial whizzkid to design a social business - if you care deeply and recusrively about implementing a humanly usable design then it should no longer be hard to find finance that wants to back your micro start up -especially now yes we can now people can unite to see microbanking as essential to all our communities and sustainable futures . Of course Yunus would tell you that microcredit itself emerged out of exactly such youthful teamwork of 4 young Bangladeshis in 1974-1976

4) it could be useful to have a category of "we are not yet officially certifiable as governed by social business rules" but we would like assistance in seeing if we could be

25000 planned to change over to social in businees from NHS? This UK Feb 09 plan puts a lot up in the air. Speaking a London a year ago Dr Yunus advised - gov can't just order a traditional organisation to be a social business - entrepreneurial founders and extraordinary innovation in business design is crucial. fascinating to monitor. Bangladesh's and the worldwide's great stroke of micro-up good fortune was that BRAC set about other way round privitization on health and schooling in the 1970s just as Grameen set abouth micro ub banking. About a decade later they started cross-ruffing each others magic tricks of micro though grameen always specialises in what people can entrepreneurially sustain without aid, and until quite recently BRAC's extra magic was to buffer global aid so it empowered bottom up. The latest annual report of BRAC shows that it is now 80% aid independent - so becoming a pure masterplayer of social business, though those of us who see social business privitization as a fascinating chess game in the end poverty family of gameboards will always want to study branc's formative years.


=====
and now for a different health social business challenge with an accent on Africa
remember the good news is that ending deaths by malaria is obama's number 1 foreign assistance health pledge; he needs the young mobile networkers of jamii bora to help connect the dots on the ground; difficult but not impossible if we play the game rules bangladesh has been sharing with us on impossible becomes possible when right action people time place http://socialbusiness.tv/  - more on malaria at http://malaria2015.com/

hiv/aids is another example of a case where people have either misinformed or anyway not let african school students even have freedom of information; in some african communities the schools that kevin links into have developed a modular curriculum - a few hours for each of 3 different age groups - which changes that community's knowledge for ever because once enough youth know a true story about particular risks they peer to peer it, and it seeps up to elders in their community, and then its impossible to censor what enough of the people have discovered ...

Typical Letter of Intro to Future Capitalism Research Networks

Dear Friend

Thank you for joining our Ning. I am a great fan of your journalism of Dr Yunus. I have met him 7 times since the publication of his book on Future Capitalism and established 1000 reader network exchange. I asked him how big could the microsummits of Future cCpitalism become - he said why not to the power 7 - from credit to health to energy to education to media to changing professional truth (including macroeconomics to microeconomics) to gov. Quite a lot to network map even for a family that has researched internet possibilities since 1984 http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html

With Bangladeshi Mostofa Zaman, Dr Yunus has asked us to look at how scaling up of many youth social action and Yes We Can projects intersect. For example, we are trying to build a first catalogue of 1000 social businesses http://socialbusiness.tv and link up student clubs for sharing cases- in first instance across East Coast USA with 10000 free dvds http://yunus10000.com . I live in Washington DC - where ending poverty needs to bend the curve from superpower to superempowerment; in New York we need to unlearn big banking; in Boston unlearn MBA (up there next week where a friend is looking at hosting Boston 10000 this summer)

We are 85% certain that Dr Yunus will convene an extraordinary dialogue around how these youth and other scaling up projects are going at the end of June 09 in Dhaka. Any chance of you joining in? There's a lot going on. It might be easier to tell you more by external emain chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk - equally if there is ever any way we can help projects or initiatives going on around you or your friends, please say.

thanks, chris macrae us tel 301 881 1655
