Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION, BACKGROUND, CONTEXT
This chapter answers some key questions. Why is this book being written? What does the writer hopes to achieve? It is time to make changes. It is time to do things differently so that there is sustainable progress. It is time for a paradigm shift. These are important issues ... this book is a starting point.

Chapter 2 SYSTEMIC DYSFUNCTION
This chapter suggest how it is that a world with so much potential delivers so little and at such a huge cost in terms of human misery and environmental degradation. This is not the way things need to be, there is systemic dysfunction.

Chapter 3. THERE ARE WAYS FORWARD
There are ways forward ... not one, but many. A single silver bullet is not the right approach ... rather there needs to be a use of resources that gets the most value for the society as possible. The way forward has several main components: more meaningful development data and metrics, a focus on community scale initiatives

Chapter 4 - MORE MEANINGFUL METRICS
This chapter is about metrics, and how the way the game is scored will change the way the game is played ... in this case, the game is life itself. Nothing could be more important.

Chapter 5 - ACCOUNTING'S KEY CONCEPTS
This chapter describes the key concepts of accountancy and how these may be applied for people, place and planet as well as for profit.

Chapter 6 - STATE, PROGRESS AND PERFORMANCE
This chapter explains the connections between state, progress and performance, how they are similar to the core business accounting idea of balance sheet and profit and loss account

Chapter 7 - MONEY PROFIT VERSUS VALUADD
This chapter goes into more detail about the key differences between Money Profit Accountancy and Valuadd Accountancy. Some of this difference is due to the way the 'reporting boundary' is defined and how this changes perception of performance.

Chapter 8 - ABOUT DATA
This chapter is about data, all its characteristics and attributes. Data has to be at the center of everything, but the data have to be about fact and reality and not merely a screen created by the rich and powerful.

Chapter 9 - ABOUT DATAFLOWS
This chapter is about dataflows, where data come from and where they must go.

Chapter 10 - ANALYSIS AND REPORTING - I (VARIOUS ELEMENTS)
This chapter is about the ways analysis may be done including a valuadd component as well as money profit. It shows how the basic money accounting framework is used and how the perspective of people, place and planet changes the measured outcomes.

Chapter 11 - ANALYSIS AND REPORTING - II (BY REPORTING ENTITY)
This chapter describes how the focus of analysis influences the conclusions. In achieving better quality of life, impact on people, place and planet is as important as profit for the organization and its investors.

Chapter 12 - ANALYSIS AND REPORTING - III (THEMATIC ISSUES)
This chapter describes how the focus of analysis influences the conclusions. In achieving better quality of life, all the thematic issues should be looked at not only for their immediate performance, but also taking into account the broader impact on people, place and planet.

Chapter 13 - ANALYSIS AND REPORTING - IV (SECTOR PERSPECTIVE)
The sector perspective is useful because it is here that there are technical experts who have an understanding of what is possible within the sector. The history of 'silo' analysis must be avoided in order to have the sector performance enhance the overall socio-economic performance of society.

Chapter 21 - RESOURCES ... INSTITUTIONAL
What is the enabling environment? It is a lot more than just governance and government, the law and regulation? It is also the infrastructure and the social services like health and education, and the financial services. The enabling environment may also be a major constraint on the socioeconomic progress of the community. What is the underlying productivity of the community. If the community is surplus producing it can go forward and improve its quality of life ... otherwise it cannot. The concept is simple ... and explains the endemic economic and development failure that is pervasive on the planet.
