PERSPECTIVES
2. TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE (TBL)
This idea of the TBL is that a company
should not only be looking at the 'profit'
performance but also impact on people
and planet:
● PROFIT;
● PEOPLE;
● PLANET.
This good, but it is only the perspective of
the ORGANIZATION.

3. PERSPECTIVES
A unique object can look very different
depending on the position of the observer.
Multiple perspectives are essential:
● a PEOPLE perspective;
● an ORGANIZATION perspective;
● a PRODUCT perspective;
● a PLACE perspective;
● etc.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
4. PERSPECTIVES
The next slide is very simplistic … but the
top view of this solid object has the object
looking like an ellipse while the side views
show the object as a rectangle with
different lengths depending on which side
is being observed.

6. The next 4 slides
● Graphic with PEOPLE at the center
● With ORGANIZATION at the center;
● With PRODUCT at the center;
● With PLACE at the center.

11. THE CHALLENGE
The challenge is to have a data system
that is meaningful from every perspective
of the socio-enviro-economic-system.
Hence, the need for a Multi Dimension
and Multi Perspective data framework.

12. THE TVM-MDIA SOLUTION
● MDIA uses concepts from conventional
double entry accounting where there
are both Balance Sheet and Profit and
Loss Accounts.
● The building block for MDIA is similar:
… State1-Flow-Process-Flow-State2
that can be applied to every economic
activity in any setting anywhere.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
13. THE METRIC SOLUTION (cont.)
● This MDIA building block will aggregate
to enable summary reporting; and
● enable drill down to activities that are
relevant at any and all subsidiary levels
down to the individual level.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
14. SOCIO-ENVIRO-ECONOMIC
● SOCIO is a PEOPLE perspective.
Everything should result in people
progressing.
● ENVIRO is about NATURE and the
ultimate source of everything that
people can ever have; and,
● ECONOMIC is the man built structures
and systems (MBSS) that have been
built to enable progress.

DIRTY BROWN:
The ECONOMIC piece … Man Built Capital
GREEN:

25. SO …
What is the PEOPLE perspective?
What is the ORGANIZATION perspective?
What is the PRODUCT perspective?
What is the PLACE perspective?
How must the MBSS be changed
to get the best possible results?
How can PEOPLE make better
decisions?
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
26. Part of the answer is
BETTER METRICS

29. Note that FINANCIAL CAPITAL has
been separated out from the other
parts of the MBSS segment
Note also the addition of SUN to
enable metrics about renewables

(1) … STATE at the Beginning of the
Period (BOP)
(2) … STATE at the End of Period (EOP)
(3) … a financial profit and loss about the
economic activity or flow that links

32. But the financial accounts are only
about money transactions, nothing
about impact on people and planet
and externalities ignored!
Financial accounts are mostly from
the perspective of an organization
and for investors.

39. This framework needs to be applied to
everything:
● for ORGANIZATIONS (PROFIT);
● for PEOPLE;
● for PLACE … and ENVIRONMENT;
● for PRODUCT.

40. This framework needs to be applied as a
PEOPLE perspective:
(1) … STATE (quality of life) at the Beginning of
the Period (BOP)
(2) … STATE (quality of life) at the End of
the Period (EOP)
(3) … all the activities or flows that had impact
and changed the state (quality of life)
during the period
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
41. This framework needs to be applied as a
ORGANIZATION and investor view:
(1) … STATE (balance sheet) at the Beginning
of the Period (BOP)
(2) … STATE (balance sheet ) at the End of
the Period (EOP)
(3) … all the activities or flows that had impact
and changed the state (balance sheet)
during the period
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
42. This framework needs to be applied as a
PLACE perspective:
(1) … state of the place at the Beginning of
the Period (BOP)
(2) … state of the place at the End of the
Period (EOP)
(3) … all the activities or flows that had impact
and changed the state of the place during
the period
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
43. FOR A PRODUCT
A product flows through a life cycle that includes
supply chain, use, and post use waste chain.
In the process there is impact on people, place
and organization … and there is impact on
people, profit and planet.
PRODUCT, that is goods and services, is
the link that connects everything AND
helps deliver Quality of Life for PEOPLE
