Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
This diagram was archived several years ago ... probably around 2010, maybe earlier.
Ny interest for several decades has been to improve management impact. I do not recall when I started with this goal, but it could easily have been more than 50 years ago.
Over the years I have seem graphics like this one ... and they are very interesting for a few minutes of reflection, but when it comes to framing a management policy and practive ... useless!
MORE TO COME
Peter Burgess
The trouble with graphics like this is that they only tell a small part of the story ... a serious problem in much of economics.
Missing from this diagram is the big idea of where is there 'value add' ... and some clarity about who are the winners and the losers in the system.
The diagram is static, but the real world economy is in motion ... and for the best part of 200 years the goal was to increase financial wealth no matter what, and now some impact investors are looking to change that paradigm ... and at the same time continue to create money wealth. This is a serious constraint that must be much better understood.
