Earth Day, April 22, 2010 - NWC Can Help Using Our "Green" Communications and Learning Approach

With Earth Day 2011 right around the corner on April 22, and with the world right in our hands, what's on my mind this morning is how my company, New World Communications can uniquely help...using our special "green" communications and learning platform that we have been developing over the years. We have been "re-thinking" transportation, and social architecture as we go, while radically lowering carbon footprint 

Helping the planet and life on it, is what New World Communications is about. There are some marvelous things that we can all do together if we just approach the world with a different mindset that also includes the innovative use of virtual world strategies and tools such as next-generation web conferencing and the new television. See our The NWC Overview on YouTube for more info. We welcome connecting with you.

"Fix the Deficit or Else" - NWC's Critical Conversations and Virtual Focus Groups Can Help

This morning I am thinking more about "Developing Sustainable Business in 21st Century World" and the importance of engaging the world in a series of Critical Conversations & Virtual Focus groups about this as a public service, when I receive an e-mail from NPR and their news article about Standard & Poor, a big rating agency, and their advice to the United States goverment to "fix the deficit or else" See the article.

As challenging as all this is, what's got me excited is the opportunity of even addressing this issue by having people and organizations Walk Through the Virtual Door... for phenomenal deficit-reducing advantage. I even have the quality-assurable "Steps" for how to go about it:

• Step One: Virtualize physical world meetings... for phenomenal deficit-reducing advantage. The "virtual transportation-to-virtual architecture" just by logging on... costs nothing and has zero carbon footprint, and more local, regional, national, and international stakeholders can all meet in the "room" for the first time in the history of world consciousness ... to move the business of doing business more sustainably forward.
  
  With more stakeholders at the table, and working as a world community full of innovative ideas, let's work it out.  Folks can instantly "get there" and "get back" just by logging on off. The green communications and learning platform that we use, even has a special "green meter" that automatically calculates:1)  the miles not traveled, 2) the fossil fuel that we don't have to pay such unfathomable cost for and unnecessarily die in socially, economically, and environmentally disastrous wars for, and even the 3) pounds of CO2 not emitted...everytime we e-meet.
  
  
• Step Two: Leverage the Power of the New Television... If government and the corporations that control the government and the war machine are not that innovative enough to reduce the deficit, then let's use crowdsourcing and the power of web television to...weigh in...and do this. I am already seeing innovative solutions coming from multiple community-based stakeholders. See what Bill Strickland of the Manchester Craftsman Guild has been doing in Pittsburgh communicating powerfully with his fundraising and consciousness-raising slideshow on Ted. Also see what Ted founder Chris Anderson says about the the power of web video for fueling innovation and how he ends up, focusing on the important work that a bright Kibura teenager is doing fueling innovation using his Flip video camera to have Kibera become "a hotbed of innovation". Now he is into doing TED X events where community-based stakeholders are the content contributors. Also see the important sustainability social venturing work that folks right here at GoodGRuB.org in Olympia are doing with their wonderful Garden-Raising Bounty initiatives, working with youth and the community at large. How cool is that!.. Here's nice video about their excellent program on their AboutUs page.
  
  
• Step Three: Engage the World in a Series of Critical Conversations & Virtual Focus groups: That's what we've been moving forward with...as a community service... and wow... what results we are already getting...starting with building excellent collaborative social venturing partnerships deliver folks at the very epicenter of sustainability....which also by the way... reduces the deficit and helps the entire United States become sustainable... informing and shaping public and private policy that is social equitable, economically viable, and environmentally bearable. See the outcome of our most recent critical conversation and virtual focus group via my recent blog.
  
  
• Step Four: Develop a World-class Hybrid world Consulting and E-Learning Practice - For the last two years, we've been developing a special "green" communications and learning platform to deliver the consulting and the learning, locally, regional, nationally, and internationally using the world's very best local, regional, national, and international subject matter experts...include marvelous community-based activists wherever they can be found... We can include all in the learning and facilitate broad-based systemic change...as well as new leadership development. We now even have people that can teach folks on how to make money on Facebook. Imagine the power of that for economic recovery and deficit reduction. It's going to be small business coming together and doing innovative social venturing  that saves the world... Mark my words.
  
  
• Step Five: Engage the World in a series of World Class Multi-day Virtual Conferences & Tradeshows focusing on "Developing Sustainable Business in a 21st Century World" that leverages successes of taking Steps One through Steps Four...culminating the year. These marvelous events communicate the world's very best practices for reducing the deficit and for doing business more sustainably across multiple marketplaces - e.g. government, education, small business, nonprofits, and the largest enterprises and even the largest nation-states. What was missing at last international conference where not much happened was the voice...and the power of people.

Call me and let's connect if you are interested - 425-780-6872 or you can use our Online Inquiries Form on our Contact Us page.

Sustainable Business Development - What's in this for You

This morning, what's on mind is sustainable business development, and how far reaching this concept is. It crosses all the lines. In every area of the marketplace, the following sectors are all struggling to to sustain themselves:

• Consumers - Young people, adults, seniors, elders, women, men, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, daughters, nieces and nephews, care-givers, homeless, unemployed, laid off... about to be laid off, job seekers
• Small business, micro-business, large business, retail, wholesale, business-to-business, business-to-consumer
• Tribes/Ethnic Groups/Sovereign Nations/Immigrant Groups
• Government - local, regional, national and international
• Military/Veterans
• Political Parties/Candidates/Incumbents
• Organized Labor
• Public Safety & Health
• Juvenile Justice and Adult Justice
• Education - Pre-natal, early-childhood, K-12, higher ed, continuing ed, learning & development
• Transportation
• Architecture
• Banking & Finance
• Not for profits, community groups, faith-based organizations
• Manufacturing
• Utilities
• Television/Entertainment Industry

The CHALLENGE, and the OPPORTUNITY is two-fold. It squarely has to do with COMMUNICATIONS and LEARNING related to defining and achieving what we mean by "Sustainable Business Development" with more voices at the table talking about what it means to sustain ourselves on a deeper and more meaningful level than doing the more obvious stuff - e.g. landfill recycling, biomass, windpower, solar. In a now 21st century century world it's really dumb if we also don't utilize newer and more cost-effective tools and strategies that we have at our disposal now..and at the same time....recycling our minds...by  "Walking Through a Virtual Door" to engage in critical conversation...changing ourselves and the world...locally, regionally, nationally and internationally...all at the same time. ...using powerful and cost-effective web conferencing, web television and social media...where authentic conversation happens... instead of expensive stupid attack ads..for political campaigns that insult our intelligence and put out even more negative energy. Without the conventional hesitation... and with the usual excuses, and working together, we could take the following steps:

• Step One - Have a series of virtualized physical world and online meetings to plan for "Developing Sustainable Business in a 21st Century"
• Step Two - Leverage the power of the new television to do this...focus on the front-runners and best practices to inform, involve and inspire people.
• Step Three - Engage the world in a series of critical conversations about "Developing Sustainable Business in a 21st Century World"
• Step Four - Develop and work with a world class cadre of consultants, subject matter experts and activists to put together a world class remote consulting and e-learning practice and curriculum
• Step Five - Plan and do our first virtual International Conference and Trade Show on "Developing Sustainable Business in a 21st Century World.. and what's in this for you?"

The cost of doing this... is far less than what it is costing us now...going about our lives... the same old tired "old-think" way, not sustaining ourselves.. just working with physical tools and strategies..wasting a lot of time and energy. Instead we could be approaching this issue with new tools, strategies and value innovation. With a renewed commitment as human beings, we all could make the difference. Call me and let's connect about moving forward with this... and without further hesitation. 1-425-780-6872.
