Our Approach

At a time of great economic uncertainty and globalisation, we require a new era of innovation, collaboration and improved performance to create prosperity, grow talent and build more resilient communities.

• Businesses can spearhead corporate responsibility and entrepreneurial activity on a massive scale to provide jobs, experiences and services and avert the crises in the market economy
• Universities, colleges and schools can sharpen their focus on mind-sets and capabilities for the 21st century at a time when promises afforded by good education are becoming less certain and inequality in education remains a major challenge
• Development agencies, social investment agencies and charities can create better targeted interventions and new business models to innovate in what they do
• National and Local Government can create the right strategies, incentives, funding programmes and provide leadership

What's In The Name?

Human ingenuity and skills need to replace finance capital as the engine of prosperity – one doesn’t have to look any further than the financial crises to see the need for an alternative future. In the knowledge and service economy, capital projects, planning and transport and cultural development continue to be vital for job creation, place regeneration and community wellbeing. But investing in entrepreneurship, innovation, education, skills, technology and networks greatly stimulate dynamism and change many more lives – for good.
