Our OpportunityCommunity Access as an enabler of the GCI Vision and mission for systemic & sustainable change

Community AccessA Community Hub Solution for the digital economy & social media age

Global Change InstituteA learning environment for systemic change

The Challenge for a Holistic or Integrated strategy solutionAn integrated solution must connect with an intersection point of needs

Is that it doesn’t fit into anyone’s box

As it crosses over with multiple parts and provides the opportunity to align and integrate all the moving parts, leverage each agenda in a more efficient fashion

A Natural Alignment? In an Industrial Society system, power

is centred around a few, large institutions.

In a Community Centred system, power is centred around many, individuals and local communities.

We have designed a Holistic Knowledge model to maximise linkage effectiveness & efficiencies.

What is in the centre intersection?

A Natural Alignment?Technological Innovation

Technological Innovation has created the ability to bypass traditional gatekeepers and go directly to consumers and communities e.g. search an and social media which has revolutionised business

The third promise of the internet is yet unfulfilled

The Present

Operating in a post-internet age with an industrial based economic system

Not sustainable/Infinite use of a finite resource/financial capital only measurement for success

A natural convergence, problem create opportunities for change

Need for solution to a range of other problems e.g. unique identity on the internet, IT/media calls for and independent aggregator of data

Unique challenges = unique opportunities

The NeedSystemic solutions which directly address

problems of a rapidly changing world within the existing and projected frameworks of those problems: political, environmental, social, economic, technical.

Methods for beneficial change v chaos change

Transition from an industrial based economic system to a sustainable community based system (local living economies)

Unique challenges = unique opportunities

The SolutionA system/hub which supports

Transforming Institutions, Policy and Society

Building Healthy Communities Living with our Changing Landscapes and

Oceans

Provides an Integrated solution to a convergence or Intersection point – Integrate or disintegrate

Unique challenges = unique opportunities

A Piece of the Puzzle

$50ml pa to Foundation to fund CDC engagement and ongoing research

CAccess need Place the knowledge in an institution learning environment (ULBI is

specialist for Hub project only)‐ Where it can live in the big picture ‐ If in a commercial environment short termism kills it

Separate implementation from ongoing research to enable their ongoing alignment as required

Central Coordination and incubation of learning e.g. Google/Facebook analogy.

GCI need• Projects which enable the mission and which can generate research and

commercial funding support
