2011 is the year we expand W1SDØM. Now with a working platform and 18 months of service to sustainable ventures, agents of change and impact investors, we launch our online network, connecting entrepreneurs, advisors and investors in the field of sustainable business. http://w1sd0m.net While developing W1SDØM in 2010, we continued building our consultancy, nuance intelligence, which my partner and wife Rachel now runs. We added two great clients in 2010, which both continue into 2011 -- Maersk (Danish shipping conglomerate) and RPRP (Kellogg Foundation-funded initiative to serve rural policy advocates). In 2009, we founded W1SDØM, focused on increasing capital flow to progressive, sustainable and social entrepreneurs, focusing on translating sustainability metrics into practical indicators for investors and entrepreneurs. We also launched the Sustainable Ventures Meetups. Consulting work at nuance focused on development of nuPOLIS. In 2008, we launched nuance intelligence, with social media for social purpose projects. In 2005-2007, I developed conferences of thought leader communities around Millennium Development Goals on global health and agriculture, working with leading Foundations in those fields. I also advised young Arab leaders, engaging a shifting global culture. I have launched eight new media businesses either by myself or as part of a founding team, and led AOL's Digital City Denver creative unit during a transition and integration into the pre-Time Warner AOL. I have been integral to launching a dozen new media products, most of which became leaders in their respective niches. For 20 years, my personal practice has focused on building COMMUNITIES OF ACTION that not only learn (Fifth Discipline-style), but create tangible change. Although I have emphasized digital media, I also spent three years working on elite conferences on several continents, gaining a different perspective on how communities accomplish goals. Specialties * Creation and development of conversations among global thought leaders. * Design and deployment of community-based media. * Minessence, which is the refinement and simple communication of complex concepts to aid in understanding. * Introduction of disruptive technology, innovative systems and new memes. * General trend research (social, business, technology), and strategic development that creates organizational evolution.
