THE GOAL OF EVERY BUSINESS IS TO THRIVE.

MEETING REGULATORY OBLIGATIONS FOR SUSTAINABILITY IS ONLY THE BASELINE.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, RESILIENCE AND A FLOURISHING WORKPLACE
CAN COME FROM SEIZING THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN BUILDING A BETTER WORLD

BUT THE ISSUES OF ORGANIZATION AND HUMAN CHANGE ARE REAL AND MUST BE MANAGED.

OUR RESEARCH GOAL IS A BETTER “HOW” – MAKING THE LINK BETWEEN
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, PROFITABILITY, BUILDING A BETTER WORLD AND BETTER WORKPLACES,
FASTER, EASIER AND MORE SUCCESSFUL.

The Co-Creating Mutual Value Collaborative is a non-profit research organization, developing a new social science based HOW – for a business to flourish, economically and humanly, by:

  • Leveraging a business’s strengths
  • Engaging diverse ecosystem stakeholders in positive collaboration, design and innovation
  • Using generative conversations

Imagine a world in which the primary aim of business is to create wellbeing, happiness, and wholeness.”

What We Are Working Toward

By 2030

 

A tipping point of businesses are prospering
by actively building a better world as part of their core strategy.

 

By collaborating with multiple stakeholders they have
co-created unimagined gains in achieving
the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

 

They are trusted and valued by the communities
in which they operate, with new relationships
that support resilience for both the business
and it’s ecosystem.

 

Internally, they abound with energy, commitment and
innovation with everyone experiencing
dignity, equity, meaning, and community.

Our Core Work Is Centered In The
Positive Human Sciences

Research into "what works"

We identify and study businesses that are creating new value in direct support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We learn “what works” and share what we learn.

Sharing of Examples

We bring the idea of creating mutual value to life, through our case stories and interviews with leading CxOs.

Developing and Sharing A Roadmap, Tools, and Practices

We merge this research and our global experience, to build a customizable Roadmap that supports sustainable value creation with the human side of business transformation.

The CCMV Collaborative

is funded by people volunteering their time and ideas, and donations from our board.
To support development of our “ HOW”, to the point of generating operating revenues, we are seeking, individual donations, foundation grants, in-kind supports and additional volunteers.
If our work resonates, please use the donate button on this page or contact our co-founder with any ideas, questions or offers you may have.

Profit should not come from creating the world’s problems but from solving them.
