Can we catalogue 30000 microfranchises

When Keynsian and Smithsian (end-poverty) economists first saw students experimenting with elearning networks they predicted that the sustainability of the net generation and 7 billion livelihoods would depend on open sourcing 30000+ microfranchises. Today we have wonderful elearning channels including:

world bank open learning campus

Yazmi elearning satellite for 5 billion africans and asians

Khan Academy

But will we be in time in collaborating around identifying 30000 microfnachises in such a way that education is redesigned around the billions of livelihod that they sustain

 

Whlle not everyone agrees exactly with the definition of a microfranchise I suggest these minimum standards of accountability and transparency:

A franchise is a knowhow system that provides an efficient and effective service that individuals or teams of people locally replicate

 

A microfranchise is designed around positive cashflow across its whole system of application but note it may use a cross-subsidising model - eg aravind for ending needless blindness model (authenticated by top 10 global healthcare leader Larry Brilliant) and if a microfranchise provides a social service there is no reason why it shouldnt be funded by microprivatisation

 

What's core to the realisation of a microfranchise is that the value produced by the team stays mainly with them as producers and in the local community they serve. Microfranchise microentrepreneurs are extremely hard working and diligent servants but those who empower them actually minimise market risks to these community builders in every possible way

 

The ownership and the upgrading of the knowledge or any mobile and other information systems designed into the microfranchise is majority owned in trust for goals of #2030now

 

A microfranchise does not externalise risks onto anyone inside or outside the communities it is actually applied in. In the sense that John Von Neumann father of modern computing predicted: microfranchises take societies and economics joyfully above zero-sum games. In this way collaboration celebrates an abundancy (and peace-linking) advantage millennials can  which multiply goodwill around through trilliondollaraudit models of market sector purposes   industrial age's consumption of things could never conceive of.. Being a Scot the sort of community freedom/trust-flow that Adam Smith's moral sentiments system designs assumed markets could improve the human lot around is due for a rebirth -if you are interested in knowing more about that I can make sure your mails reach Adam Smith scholars at Glasgow University - chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk - a group of people who helped  celebrate Muhammad Yunus 70th birthday wish weekend with the publication of 2 wholly new  journals of social business.- see also Glaswegian's Tom Hunter's original investment in Bill Clinton's networking for human social good

 

While I love to help celebrate any microfranchise, the most exciting celebrations are for meta-microfranchise - these gravitate investment in tens or hundreds of microfranchises.. To date Kenya with MPESA, Nanocredit, Jamii Bora, and Ushahidi IHUB and Bangladesh with BRAC and Grameen offer benchmark cases of meta-microfranchises that I would recommend every millennial celebrates. However meta-microfranchises can be culturally detailed to catalogue and require updated tracking- I believe their leaders -eg sir fazle abed - merit whole elearning curriculum of their own. Which one #2030now leader would you most like to MOOC with? Will we ensure the succession of this knowhow?

 

Please note that none of the bangladeshi microcredits  were simply banks. Just as Steve Jobs is reputed to have merged several markets, Bangladesh microcredits merged several markets from the bottom-up including health services, training to earn a livelihood services, redesign of whole value chains round microfranchises in which small producers had no marketing channel costs, as well as intergenerational financial services and barefoot lawyers. Moreover 2015 is the 20th year since Bangladeshi microcredits attracted grants from George Soros to be experimenters in partnership of mobile connectivity of village mothers. In most cases today, a village end-poverty microfanchise is likely to be very manual in terms of its last mile of delivery but brilliantly supported by worldwide IT.through mobile connectivity. Hi-tech and Hi-touch and Hi-Trust can be a win-win-win

 

Any questions or improvements to this introduction or can we start racing to #2030now by mapping 30000 microfranchises and great livelihoods for every millennial

survey 1of child centric education

My dream: everyone experiences Harrison Owen OpenSpace After%20the%20Rage.pdf

IF SCHOOLS were child centric they would make age relevant interventions:

if anyone is illiterate at age 6 it only takes 90 days to change that - best of all a literate kid can be main helper in 20 minute session - see sunita gandhi

finacial literacy would be practicsed from age 8 - see aflatoun ( works in 100 countries

from age 10 pre-teens would have access to pfysical and mental health studies designed peer to peer -see Lancet

no kid would leave primary school without knowing how open space meetings/teamwork is facilitated

teachers would be celebrated for clarifying which skills involve experiential learning not classroom examination - while there is some recognition that music and sports involve practice, its shocking that coding isnt valued this way ..

==============

Do you have life-changing moment to share? - what was it and what did you think or do differently after it?

example until 9/11, i assumed that (good) futures are happening somewhere in the world and would be searched out so that all could communally replicate them;  === 9/11 caused me to question whether global connectivity will give us time to find sustainable solutions for our kids- i became particulaly interested in places where good education leaps appeared but did not get app'd the world over - one example actually goes back to my favorite 1990s advances in schools that a small cliuster of new zealand schools pioneered - download it here https://oiipdf.com/download/the-learning-revolution

i welcome discussion of this book's parts at any time rsvp chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk if you have a solution every community that develops youth could be cooperational

in 1984our book with economist editors 2025report made the case for 40 year commitment to every child identifying own skils dashboard and maximising AI curation of this- we valued this as sustainability critical worldwide cooperation - we see no logic for changing this concern

== we live in an age where most up to half of knowhow of techforgood changes every 3 years - we needed mindsets for exploration not for being standard examined; a nation that makes its college students its largest debt class is likely to collapse economically socially environmentally if web3 is designed for celebrating sustainability cooperation; and if web3 is not designed for neough yout to linkin the first sustainability generation then we are all heading the way of the dodo

TECH - What is IT? and which exponential multipliers most impact human and natural futures?

AI   >. silicon chip singularity (ie when one chip > one brain in pure analytical capacity) - science fictiion no moore

who programs the ai - the race to include lost voices eg girls- the world of statistics re=-examined like never before (eg previously mass statistics very weak at coding meaining from numbers)

Biotech  >> Affective science (loveq and emotional intelligence remains human's unique edge over artificials for at least 10 more years!)

Some people say that Virtual or Augmented Reality has advanced at its best so far in last 12 months that there are hardly any qualified teachers only pioneering explorers- does this matter - well its VR which is your gateway to web3 - intead of just a mobile device you will like wear  a visual sensor system; equally others argue that you shouldnt worry about how fast you put googles on - what you should want is to take back ownbership of what you spend time creating virually- look at the small print of the big platforms you probably dont own anything without them..maybe this is a generation issue bu interstingly the met-generation can now work on chnaging anything that old systems are destroying (eg climate) ...t 

 IOT which things will now have brains and be as mobile connected as you are

Crypto - can communities celebrate financiang their own most urgent sustainability cooperations? if they dont who wil?

Cyber >> Drone - opportunities and threats of public spaces- first in spaces like the arctic circle if we dont use drones we will get no warning before the big meltdown

-the mkist memorable western campus event i attended in 2010s was tufts colllaboratory summit convened mainly by arctic circle youth under 25; 

one of the main debates how to help teachers in arctic circle schools empower their students to use virtual reality to visit other arctic circles schools communities; many of the changes and solutions are analogous; I am reminded by educators leading the compilation of virtual realty libraries of the DICE acronym - a reen might want to do something dangerous like climb everest, why not VR simulate that? there are impossible things a trainee doctor will never be able to travel inside a humans gut but that can be VR'd; there are catastropghic simulations - you would rid the world of bees just to test if donald is wrong about nature being more powerful than he is, you can simulate it; or the future of smart tourism may be curation of what a community is proudest of being visited for - this way ecotourism, cultural appreciation exchanges can be twinned to maximise celebration of each other- and by the way friends of the tourist can join in virtually- of corse this raises a metaverse question - that Hong Kong is leading the world on

being 100% public - good and bad hacs- note context matters - context 1 smart city context 2 isolated vilalge no moore context 3 make a huge land safe at borders
