Projects
Accelerating the flow of capital to good, or capital formation is another CI core competency. Projects in that area include:
- Xigi (pronounced ziggy, for the shift in the zeitgeist that's happening now) The xigi team is mapping the capital market for good, with stories, an online database of sectors including fair trade, social enterprise, microfinance, independent media and low income housing and a geospatial and social network map. We are part of a team solving the discovery problem for this emerging market; showing capital flows as well as who is doing what, what they call it, and how they value it and how it compares to other initiatives.
-
United Religions Initiative helping this international interfaith group with thousands of great stories in a 140 countries tell one overarching story of an emergent phenomenon evolving to a higher level of order, and the way it is helping eliminate religiously motivated violence. The story of how we approached the project is here
-
Kaboom helping this growing non profit which has an aim to put a playground within walking distance of every U.S. child with evolving its burgeoning management reporting metrics into a more user friendly view of the systems and relationships that work together to help it achieve its goals.
Other projects our team has been involved in include
Digital culture is created, experienced, produced archived, shared and/or shaped by artists, individuals and groups who are fluent in technological creation and production. circuit4, the Canadian Digital Culture Map, aims to chart the innovative processes and achievements of practitioners in this interdisciplinary field and contextualize its importance for a range of target audiences. This project seeks to build awareness, document references, reveal gaps, challenges and opportunities for development, networking and collaboration, locally, nationally and internationally. A full launch is scheduled for May 2005.

What we like to do
Characteristics of the projects we become involved with include:
- International development
- Arenas where resources focused on social initiatives tends to flow inefficiently
- Situations where the complex interaction of organizations and issues can be simplified and improved through the application of collective maps, people networks, and technology
