Turning Development Upside Down
Vital Reforms for Peace and Development
GO TVM HOME GO TVM-BRIEFS GO BURGESS MANUSCRIPTS
Conventional financial accountancy has been an important foundation for business management for something more than 400 years. It is very powerful, and somewhat boring, but has stood the test of time. However, all sorts of things have changed in the last hundred years and it is time to enhance accountancy so that it is a lot more fit for purpose than it now is. This is what TrueValueMetrics (TVM)is all about.

Turning Development Upside Down
Three events make me feel the need to memorialize some of what I had learned during my multiple consulting assignments with the official development assistance (ODA) community over about a quarter of a century. (1) I was in Ghana in West Africa at the turn of the Millennium and made a short trip to Liberia in connection with some thinking about community development. This did not turn out well and Charles Taylor had his army terrorize me and I fled. (2) Three months later I was back in Ghana, again working to think through how better to progress community development, and one of the major financial players in the country had me arrested and jailed. After about 2 weeks I was released, but the experience was thought provol=king. (3) The third event was 9/11 which was a very dramatic wake up call ... but probably ended up causing way more damage and disruption for everyone in the world than it should have.
I am not a writer. Though I am a pretty good analyst, I am not a good story teller and therefore not a very good writer. I have been quite effective at telling a bit of a story to enable decision making in a management setting, but that is very different from writing a book. This manuscript has been a work in progress for almost 20 years ... and still does not feel finished.
