Purpose-driven ecosystems- Overview

 Scarce resources & opportunities trigger fight for survival or big fast growth. Without a fulfilling collective purpose; we become reactive or get distracted.

In the interdependent world; ecosystems enable to add, fairly distribute & pull need based value.

I found an evolving solution when I attended a 12-week mentoring program by Purpose Alliance with a Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP) of ‘Empowering extraordinary people to create future’. 

Francisco; the founder & master mentor of Purpose Alliance inspired us to
1) Define Massive Transformative Purpose which a) develops clarity, strong intent & mind maps; b) encourages consistent actions in the direction; c) cocreates impact & d) shapes future.
2) Leverage inner strengths by
a. Values of co-operation, democratisation, innovation & commitment
b. Discovering lifetime passion by connecting to a) childhood dream; b) story of life-changing experiences & c) emotions linked thereto (like ‘what we enjoyed to learn & why’; ‘what we loved to do & why’ & ‘what others loved about us & why’).
c. Discovering superpower (which people in Japan call Ikigai) to a) push limits; b) tap potential; c) be open to leverage feedback; d) evolve mindset; e) channelise attention, time, energy, learning, skills & resources & f) find a way around when we face a wall.
3) Find purpose-solution fit by a) empathising with what people think, feel, say, do & need; b) ideating; c) exploring for solutions; d) experimenting & then e) co-creating impact.
4) Discover early adopters who will benefit from solutions, interact with them to get their feedback & pivot to find all potential beneficiaries.
5) Develop solution- market fit by building, testing, learning & iterating the offer.
6) Develop Sustainable Business Model which taps abundance through a) exponential technologies; b) collective strength of communities (with shared values & diverse perspectives); c) talent (with shared passion & complementary strengths) & d) underutilised resources available on demand.
7) Define innovation metrics that consider promotion by satisfied & loyal beneficiaries.
