why fazle abed believed his legacy and friends needed to unite female graduates of hundreds of universities in sdg collaboration
Friends and I have been searching this since 1984 when dad (Norman Macrae at The Economist) and I published the first edition of 2025report.com (the last edition of which is in prep after some final debriefings from citizens who can in 2022 - please chat with me chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk if your place has some collaborations to offer)related links EconomistUN.com teachforsdgs.com AIbrac.com
After my father's death the japan ambassador to bangladesh kindly introduced me to sir fazle abed; i have never met anyone who has united so many peoples and communities in advancing sustainability. After 15 trips to Dhaka we have catalogue what we understand to be the 30 main collaborations that have become the world's largest ngo (civil society) partnership
At the time MOOCS were newish - abed said yes i'd like my knowhow Massive Open Online but why not C for Collaboration ( I went back and searched US moocs sadly they were not about reducing college student debt or connecting sustainability graduates in massive replicable solutions)
Just in case edutech ever chnaged -gradaute journalists and I went back to dhaka 1 times to file ABEDMOOC.com
=====chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk ===================in more detail from family and EconomistDiary.com - why vote for Abed as Number 1 Entrepreneurial Revolutionary of the era 1970-2020
From the early 1970s was my father's plea (joined by eg peter drucker, ezra vogel, gifford pinchot romano prodi and if I recall Klaus Schwab < George Soros) to economists and futurists eg Naisbitts to help design an unstoppable movement uniting communities in sustainability solutions that the world's biggest organisation (corporate or government) cannot alone deliver. s
Previously JFK had seconded the 1962 plea to celebrate Asia Rising Model in connecting his worldwide inderdependence maps
So this setting frame how as a statiscian from MAMPTP 1973, I choose to parse what abed has left as his legacy after 50 years of extraordinary entrepreneurial empowerment (with his death 20 dec 2019)
F AT THIS LAST CHANCE DECADE NEARLY 8 BILLION BRAINS & TECH ARE TO PREVENT EXINCTION THEN IN NO SMALL PART IT WILL BE DUE TO THE EMOTIONALLY SMARTEST PUBLIC SERVANT OF LAST HALF CENTURY (FA) LEARNING FROM HIS BIGGEST MISTAKE chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk AIbrac.com
SG Lesson 1 Real entrepreneurs learn from biggest mistakes of theirs, and exponentially compounded by Society's Governance - historic systems monopolising mindsets. 1 As summarised at The Economist Boardroom's remembrance party of dad norman macrae; having met von neumann dad's favorite interviews severely examined leaders what they intended to do with 100 times more tech eg 7 year future planning forward not 5 back; from the 1970s to his 40th and last yera at the economist dad developed the twin genre of entrepreneurial revolution and future history's - sustainability in dads eyes would require entrepreneurial community collaborations to increasingly become legislative equals to big gov and big corporation; dad's all time laureate of entrepreneurial revolution : fazle abed; if you want to shortcut the rest of this article here are 4 by 4 compasses:
AB1 The first compass is about 4 last chnace moments of Tuture-history and English speaking mindset; what can english speaking adminstrators of empires learn from bangaldesh and women empowerment?
Fab1.4 from 2015 (UN2.0) Scoiety in the context of ESG has 5 main market components corresponding to sdgs1 to 5- markets of finance, food, health, education public servants ; you can also learn uniquely from the rural adaptation chalenges of environment. Specifically rural are those who have not benefited or used carbon- engines; what are their human rights? why wouldnt rich peoples particularly celebrate rural leapfroging (ways of innovating because a place never had a grid such as electricity's wires or telephones lines); how do villagers and islanders not become the dumping ground of powerful legsilative neighbors
Fab1.3 from 1945 UN- if humans were ever to flousih epacefully out of ebery community there were multiple chlenges at UN's birth: how to refloat productive economies; how empires gave bnack in freeing colonies or those ((eg native people) who had been abused; how to outlast stalin's mad leadership of the old world's largest landmass; how to turn 20th century's new technologies from disasters to advnatges; thanks to von neuman and his peers 1955 saw extraordinary progress- even the promise of 100 times more positive etch every decade to 2025; by 1955 thanks to america much of the productivity of the laregst economies was moveing forward; Stalin had died but fear of what was next from europe's far north was as big as ever; whiuklt gritain in particular had started agreeining to independence of former colonies merely handing over broken top-down systems was not a sustainablke answer
Fab1.2 both in 1860 queen victoria and the economist's james wilson and in 1906 gandhi questions had been raised about what would the quarter of teh eowrld' spopulation be able to develop if empire was replaced by commonwealth, with peoples banking and adminstering and developing their own places
Fab1.1 back between 1758-1776 - the scots, the french and then the americans had raised adam smiths entrepreneurial questions- what would emotionally inteligent /industrial revolutions map out to be- by and for the peoples
AB 2 why fazle abed believed his legacy needed to unite female graduates of hundreds of universities in sdg collaboration
AB3 in forming the worlds largest ngo partnership economy, which 21st C Collab innovations most applied leapfrog opportunities as villagers exponentially adapted solar and mobile
AB4 what were the foundational movements of person to person grassroots networking that made brac the epicentre of the asia's billion girls who did the most to end extreme rural poverty
