GPS for Next Normal
Democratic and Equitable multi-platform multi-stakeholder ecosystem to enable Holistic, Broader, Proactive, Coherent, Sustainable and Scalable Human, Cultural, Rural and Economic Impact
Thriving holistically & collectively in changing times
The pandemic, lockdowns, digital transformation & global collective initiatives taught us the following:
- Disruption in any dimension can affect our life & world
- We have transformative potential to change the rules of the game
During lockdown, lonely senior citizens told stories to the children locked up in their homes through a simple Club House app.
We adapt, resist, control, or protect in daily life to survive or grow in a competitive world. We ignore the changing dynamics of a complex, uncertain world requiring us to collectively empower each other to handle real challenges.
A child needs nurturing with love to retain creative potential & develop the emotional strength to handle fears & fascinations. Young needs inspiration to channel time, attention, energy, capability & relationship development initiatives for resilience & growth. The elderly need to remain active & relevant in changing times to avoid loneliness. Cross-learning across generations can blend the strengths of all.
Similarly, in a job, business & profession, every player needs protection, resilience & growth.
On the social front, we are sensitive or judgmental to seek social acceptance or recognition. The privileged dominate & the deprived lead vulnerable or rebellious lives in a world of regional, economic & knowledge disparities
Multi-stakeholder ecosystems can enable leveraging of the unique potential of everyone & complementary strengths for transformative narrative, empowerment, social justice, authentic knowledge and relevant technology to co-create conditions for democratic, equitable & sustainable growth of all.

Minimum Viable Overarching Ecosystem (MVE) for Cohesive Impact
We will start with a catalyst role for a minimum viable overarching ecosystem (MVE) that will enable holistic upfront understanding in the following ecosystems for Life, Growth, Well-being, Art and Entertainment in one place to avoid overwhelm or imbalance:
I) Learning & Entrepreneurial Ecosystems:
- Life coaches on the platform will expand understanding & offer counselling before mental & emotional problems aggravate.
- Business coaches will expand awareness about needs & options for 21st-century skills & conduct sessions for groups.
- Consultants will create awareness of sources of authentic knowledge & relevant technology & offer the required advice.
- Mentors will offer personalised understanding & integration of the above to enable self-directed, holistic & lifelong learning & practice.
- Cross-learning across cultures & generations will be leveraged to develop a balanced perspective & minimise the divides.
- Ecosystem Knowledge Management will enable the integration of ancient & modern science & holistic understanding
II) Ecosystem & Club of Wellness Stakeholders:
Anxiety of uncertain life, stress at work, monotony in repetitive tasks, pollution, inadequate exposure to sunlight & fresh air, lifestyle problems & dependency on instant pleasure or cure trigger extremes of excitement or misery & chronic physical, mental & emotional problems
Vacation is the best time to attract attention & inspire regular retreats offering personalised counselling & playful experiences of wellness practices, diverse cross-cultural learning & community encouragement.
Wellness stakeholders can come together to form a club on the co-ownership basis to
1) Empower people blessed with nature to tap their potential & underutilised properties &
2) Offer ‘Holistic & lasting well-being’ even to middle-class people & senior citizens at affordable costs through a club with lifetime subscriptions for regular yearly stays to sustain & spread the practice
This platform can be a catalyst to orchestrate the ecosystem & interdependent ecosystems s explained in the value proposition
III) Art and Entertainment ecosystems:
- Mentoring and orchestration (as illustrated for the wellness ecosystem)will enable global decentralised ecosystems for diversified art & entertainment, democratising the creative profession to minimise dependency & develop broader cultural intelligence, understanding & positive human, social & economic impact
In future, MVE can evolve to carry over learnings to similar value elements in other ecosystems & for orchestration like illustrated for wellness.
Business Model, Governance, Technology, Market & Unique Value Proposition:
Business Model for each ecosystem is stated in the Business Model canvas.
Governance:
The subscription platform will eventually evolve as a section 8 company under the Indian Companies Act & as a decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) working for mutual benefit.
Value exchange will be based on the time value for professionals & impact value for investments. The same will not be volatile based on market dynamics.
Revenue earned by the platform from value providers & receivers will be reinvested for technological upgradation & promotion of the platform for enhanced value for customers, vendors & investors.
Specialised agencies will measure intangible impacts & commensurate outcomes.
Technology, Market, Competition:
Complementing the platform will enhance cooperation as well as the competitive strengths of members to
- Upgrade technology ( for knowledge synthesis, technology stacks for interoperable systems, conversational intelligence for funnelling curated knowledge, AR/VR for Simulated learning & practice, democratisation through blockchain & scalable cohesive impact through exponential models & technologies),
- Promote for common benefit. According to the Accenture report, 75% of current business models will be replaced by ecosystems.
- Complement such that no two ecosystems will overlap for a similar enhanced value proposition.
- Handle disruptive challenges proactively & collectively ( like the way healthcare ecosystems handled the pandemic)
