The six strategies how we can
accelerate the solution economy:
- Change the lens and see the untapped opportunities in life. The oft-neglected poor can become new, viable customers.
- Problem solvers target the gaps: They look for markets where traditional companies and governments have never been.
- Consider outside resources to achive end goals.
- Sometimes the cheapest solutions are the best. Think about ridesharing: 15% improving in ridesharing would save $21billion annually.
- Consider you purchase as a vote. Yes, a vote for social impact. The public sector can change the line first of all, so I advice you to purchase as you would vote and then we can have impact on governments and large companies to contribute.
- Measuring what matters is also important. Impact Reporting and Investment Standards can aggregate and compare data.

Solution Revolution which you can buy at Amazon.

The Social Good Summit took place in
New York City. I don't know the outcome yet, but I really like their
question „How can technology and new media create solutions for the
biggest problems facing my community and create a better future by
the year 2030?”
The Social Good Summit was held from
22-24 September, and there are tons of information on the internet
about it, especially on Mashable.
Social Good apps
Ok, The Social Good Summit is not about
apps... Really.
Ericsson's Chef Grunewald tells us that
the aim of The Social Good Summit is to enable all to participate in
a global conversation.
Kate James (Gates Foundation) says that
the event provides a unique opportunity to openly discuss solutions
to our biggest development challanges.
Henry Timms' (92Y) goal was to open up
the conversation and engage with a new community of thinkers,
leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators.
Mr. Kaag (UNDP) said: This year we are
hosting events in over 60 countries, including meet-ups, discussing a
single topic: what needs to be done now in order to have a better
world in 2030 – hence the hashtag #2030NOW.
