Imagine you and some friends have decided to play a Game of Trillion Dollar Audit.  

This booklet is the set of instructions; describing the pieces, the gameboard, some example moves and motivations for playing this game - with all the curiosity of Q&A (Questioning & Answering) that your social networks and you can muster.   

We try to keep to simple rules. However like chess extraordinarily detailed combinations and interactions of choices develop over time.  

FREEING GLOBAL MARKETS

Unlike chess where the only meaning is the game itself, yes you and we can choose to play round a trillion dollar context which our human race needs solutions to that are critical to people’s lives - even sustainability’s compound consequences for the planet should you dare to do so.   

However new players to the game may find it wiser to look at a context they love and that needs a smaller and more local solution. This can still be an exciting one whose best practice plays will need to be communally open in the sense that all sides represented by players in the game can develop win-win-wins from the choices your group of players design

Examples of Trillion Dollar contexts advanced roundtables of players may progress to:
*Local or Worldwide (www) banking
*Local or www health
*Clean energy or water or foods
*Media integration including mass, one to one and community centres - local and www impacts on image-making versus reality
*Education system up to a people’s first job
*Hi-Trust Leadership education including transparency of  professions people often spend longest studying before being licensed to practice and honor Hippocratic oaths which were part of society’s contract permitting a profession a semi-monopoly of rule-making  

The appendix links a short future history since 1700 of some nations whose peoples lifetimes and generations this game consciously draws on and thanks. We map some understandings that emerged from India/Bangladesh, France and Scotland in poor or troubled times. Note that Scotland became an early example of a worldwide networked peoples back in 1850 - by which time over half of Scots had entrepreneurially emigrated due to the nation’s bankruptcy and hostile takeover by England after a global financial scam in 1700.

. E5 Producitity multipliers of Community & Local Society

Playing the seat of healthy communities generate strong economies can be the simplest (most common sense) innovation catalyst of all. However, it often isn’t because of 2 structural misunderstandings that the most global forms of ruling professions have profited from making ever more complex.

To start at the beginning of community building and communicating openly, this seat’s player needs to be confident in animating the debating proposition that communities can be celebrated as making the long-term investments that compound the greatest impact.  It is the community – the local society’s diversity of context - that contributes such investments as natural resources, education of children, safety and cross-cultural richness (itself a vibrantly innovative dynamic as you may know wherever you have danced with such kindred spirits), retraining people where a global employer suddenly outsources etc.

Often misreported in the urgency of the crisis of how to stop USA from drowning in the banking meltdown are 2 other messages that President Obama has been relentlessly asking every Yes We Can American – or friend of America - to debate and do now.  ... more

E1 What dynamics could organisations be designed round to sustain productivity at the personal level?

1996 shocking year long internet debate on organising creativity- to large organisations this is an oxymoron- they have become defensive about change following Porter's Harvard's 1980s tomes; many see no conflict in adding to customers cost by spending billons a year on advertising noise (image-making over reality-leading) to prevent awareness of entrepreneurial organisations (somewhere worldwide) who are innovating what their customers truly want improvements on 

Insightful emotional intelligence research begins by asking anyone if they have ever met both good and poor leaders-if so how do distingusih between the two; its amazing how people  are consistent all over the world; good leaders are hi-trust leaders who ensure transparency of access to news to everyone. They are happy to be open. That gives all workers optimum time to action learn when changes are happening. Emotional Intelligence researcher Daniel Goleman goes further in recommending we make a checklist of organisational diseases- his number 1 cancer in organisational systems is called CEO's disease where people are afraid to pass bad ie value has changed) news up the organisation; another disease is budgets that are used by a department either by an individual who loves to power over his own empire or to ensure that the organsiational will collapse if it fires the knowledge that only our department rules over

Exercise : go search the origin of the entrepreneur; you may find, as Muhammad Yunus advises, that originally entrepreneurial leaders were those who make more jobs than they take. In that case it is best for entrepreneurial leaders to over-rule global accounting standards where they book in all people as costs to cut while perversely rate machines as investments. People are smart to seek organisational designs where technology helps replicate their innovations and support their abilities to serve other human beings-  not those that wittingly or unwittingly invest in technology as more innovative than people. 

V2 Customer Trust Multiplier

Ultimately the voice of the customer is to choose which organisations continue to exist –this is direct if the game is being played in business sector where individual choices of enough customers continuously determine whether an organisation is sustained and more collective in other sectors.

We believe that what most makes or breaks the trust of customers is whether the organisation is spinning an informed or misinformed relationship with those whose custom it most seeks to sustain. If you are playing from this seat you might wish to look at a site such as http://www.cluetrain.com which describes how different types of media and messages could be used to inform or misinform.

Businesses in particular should be designed to serve a segment of customers (whilst compounding no harm on anyone). What most breaks my trust is a business that  ...more

This is one of the two hardest seats to play. How you lay it will impact consequences of where the game leads everyone. Worse I have probably an unconventional view of what workers should demand as  their greatest trust-maker or trust-breaker - be this of a company or if you are self-employed of community and place government

Our reasoning starts with the cliches – your life is the greatest resource you will ever have- don’t waste it, try as far as possible to compound what ever become your most skillful experiences- some of which may have been embedded in generations of your family tree. (Often not what your grandparents were able to achieve but what they were blocked from – eg Oprah Winfree arguably America’s most influential black female storyteller claims that a lot of her focus comes from demanding that the future of her sisters is not the enslaved one of her grandparents

My core advice is be your won mediator of how uniquely purposeful is the system which I and my mist trusted co-workers sustaining. Is it making progress for humanity (including those who are my next generations) that the world would miss if we ceased to exist  as well as empowering my own future's conseqeunces. If we research and report what inventions compounded wealth and health all around their origin – a practical and empirical journalism that my family call entrepreneurial revolution- then the greatest inventions started up round small groups of people- many of whom had spent half a life-time of both trial and error and connecting ideas that had previously been disconnected. There is a confusion between how world progress is invented and then 2 other things – how news of invention is propagated and how many people enjoy serving or being served by the invention. I come form Scotland which has a proud list of inventors for a nation that is less than one thousandth of the world’s population

-examples: (includes those who are my next generations)

 but it may be that  some of these inventors (or there immediate descendants) were not always smart in whom they trusted to invest in replicating their purpose or that they were cheated out of the reason why they spent so much of their life on something they knew mattered more than money can buy. Furthermore, if we study how media has evolved over the last 100 years it has become in most modes ever more vicious regarding freedom of speech on propagating life critical news or questions. Why media is prone to spinning aganst human integrity's futures is an interesting question but outside the scope of briefing how to play this seat!

I suggest you search before playing out of this seat. If you find opposite views to mine and wish to send them to me at chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk – however here are a few rough quotes of people I admire which you can also use to search where our valuation comes from of what workers should individually demand

Muhammad Yunus –everyone is born with entrepreneurial creativity inside, the tragedy is the billions of people who never get a fair chance to discover it

Peter Drucker- theoretically at least organizations existed to design what men alone cannot achieve

 Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi– the optimum metric of how productive a person’s life becomes is what per cent of their lifetime did they spend at the experiential edge of their own competence; sadly this averages at less than 1% - just imagine a world where everyone was empowered at least 2%. Could we not use internetworking technology to achieve that in ways that was never previously possible

V3 what value multipliers can sustaining owners demand

The ownership trust seat is the hardest one of all for players to sustain –at least in that odd global era (up to 2008, repealed by obama in 2009 with the words- usa showed the world how global top-down doesnt work for anyone) where the spreadhseet became the killer app..

Actually, the greatest entrepreneurial innovation we know of happened when Bangladeshi’s like Muhammad Yunus decided that for sectors as critical to life as banking - take the owner seat out of the game of value multiplying up until all the other seats have designed 9-win organisation. To search through Social Business cases is to see the most purposeful organsiational designs that have been expoentialised up

5 collab table

In the West, Built To Last research in the early 1990s (belatedly) corrected errant Harvard MBA tomes of the 1980s by showing how owners can keep speculators out of this seat and which is purposeful leadership’s number 1 branding drama. Governance can transparently map how to Value a Big Hairy Audacious goal around the organisation by empowering every hi-trust employee with rewards that are bigger for advancing this goal transparently than money grabbing.

Of course any business must keep its cash flow healthily positive but just as a human life itself ends if we lose all our blood, an obsession for extracting blood compounds no human good. For nearly a quarter a century the harvard mba virus remained programmed into numbers-chasing spreadsheeters and their derivative behaviours from AIG (Awful Insurance Groupies) to Walled Street- let’s hope the mid-course correction  of Yes We Can bend the curve will be heroically networked by youth and others with an interest in investing in future generations before irreversible harm is done to planet and peoples

Future capitalism’s 7 Deadly Sins of Macro

Proposal: after June 29’s youth dialogue with Dr Yunus in Dhaka

we need to have agreed a self-complete profile –so that yes we can

enable anyone to see who they are social business networking with

I understand 2 frameworks my dad who started learning/observing economics in 1943 in Dhaka and Dr Yunus who was born in (what became Bangladesh) in 1940 use to question transparency/sustainability of economics definition of rules that govern our lifetimes

Please whenever you meet dr yunus or other Bangladeshi microcredit leaders to report back if you find evidence that I have misinterpreted the above. The rest of this brief needs to have a first go at what the 7 deadly sins are –each can end the sustainability of a connected world and have in empire’s histories been accidentally or deliberately systemised to chain a bottom billion lives in poverty
