ORGANIZATIONS
MANY, MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF ORGANIZATION
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES
Root cause of much of the socio-enviro-economic dysfunction
Essential ... and at the same time a root cause of some of the socio enviro economic dysfunction
PROVIDE A VITAL SERVICE FOR SOCIETY BUT DO NOT GENERATE VALUE ADD ... THERE PROFITS ARE A BIG COST TO SOCIETY
Money, banking and financial services are a critical lubricant for the socio-enviro-economic system, but are neither the engine nor the essential fuel!

Brands
increasingly the consumer facing identity of a corporate organization ... often used to hide reality
In many case the BRAND is more important to the consumer than the product. Brand reputation is one of the main connections that a seller has with the customer, and this is enabled and maintained by the advertising industry. Loss of brand reputation is a major risk for every organization that sells using brand identity.

Benefit Corporations (B-Corp)
Not all jurisdictions in the United States allow incorporation as a 'benefit' corporation.
In my experience managers of for profit organizations have been concerned that they are constrained from 'doing good' when it is likely that doing good will degrade theire profit performance. Accordingly they have welcomed the idea of the 'benefit corporation' where it becomes possible for the mission of the organization to include doing good even where it iwll degrade profit performance.
|
Certified Benefit Corporations
Certification is provided by B-Lab according to an evolving standard. It is valid for two years. The certification is available no matter what the form of organization and the jurisdiction of the incorporation.

COMPANIES ... BIG DOMINANT MULTISTATE COMPANIES
in manufacturing, resource extraction, distribution, etc. (not banking)
BIG COMPANIES DOMINATE THE MODERN SOCIO-ENVIRO-ECONOMIC SYSTEM ... THEIR EFFICIENCY IS A KEY DRIVER OF PROGRESS
Because of their scale they have an outsize impact on the system as a whole. The performance of companies has been a key to major change in the past and will continue into the future. The profit measure served well in the past, but this has changed and a more refined set of measures is required for an efficient future ... that is True Value Accounting

GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS, AGENCIES AND PROGRAMS
MULTIPLE LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, STATE OWNED ENTERPRISES, PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
an old and important idea that has been sidelined in favor of investor owned and investor benefit organizations
Many things are best done by government, but these things should be done efficiently. Low efficiency, poor accounting, accountability and transparency are big issues in government. Government has a poor track record in handling corruption at all levels.

THE JUSTICE SYSTEM ... POLICE, COURTS AND PRISONS
The JUSTICE SYSTEM comprising POLICE, COURTS AND PRISONS needs to deter crime, to punish and to rehabilitate. Some police capabilities and performance are exceptional while some police behavior is reprehensible. These are important elements of a just and civilized society.

Markets
an important part of the economic system, but increasingly gamed to create financial wealth while doing nothing for the real economy
Markets are central to the idea of a free economy, but the way markets work in the modern enviro-socio-ecomomic system is not the way free markets really work. Understanding the way modern markets are working is an important part of understanding how the modern enviro-soci-economic system works and how things need to be changed.

THE MILITARY
The MILITARY and the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX have become very large and very powerful. They absorb a huge amount of wealth, and it is not clear whether the value fo the military establishment justifies these costs.

ORGANIZATIONS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR
MANY DIFFERENT FORMS TO SUIT DIFFERENT PURPOSES AND SITUATIONS
A successful society needs ORGANIZATION and ORGANIZATIONS. There are many different forms of organization with very different socio-enviro-economic imnpact. Metrics about organizational performance have been goood for investors but less good for society and the environment. A major goal of TVA is to even this playing field.

ORGANIZATIONS IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR
MANY DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS TO SUIT DIFFERENT PURPOSES AND SITUATIONS
The idea that 'less government' is better government is an easy idea to communicate ... but the reality is that in many cases more government is actually better. The issue is the effectiveness of government, and in too many cases government programs and practices are not fit for purpose and badly run.
Nevertheless ... good government can make a huge difference!
