THE GLOBAL PROSPERITY FOUNDATION COLLABORATORY

November	
  27,	
  2012

Welcome	
  to	
  Sixtown!	
  

The	
  community	
  is	
  diverse	
  –	
  people	
  speak	
  many	
  languages	
  and	
  pracCce	
  all	
  kinds	
  of	
  religious	
  
and	
  other	
  tradiCons.	
  The	
  economy	
  is	
  also	
  diverse:	
  the	
  two	
  largest	
  industries	
  are	
  advanced	
  
manufacturing	
  and	
  agriculture,	
  and	
  niche	
  sectors	
  like	
  music	
  producCon,	
  chocolate,	
  and	
  coffee	
  
are	
  the	
  darlings	
  residents	
  like	
  to	
  celebrate.	
  The	
  quality	
  of	
  life	
  is	
  very	
  good,	
  as	
  reported	
  by	
  
residents	
  and	
  visitors	
  alike.

But	
  there's	
  a	
  downside:	
  the	
  region's	
  overall	
  prosperity	
  masks	
  the	
  lack	
  of	
  opportunity	
  for	
  key	
  
groups	
  of	
  people	
  whose	
  numbers	
  are	
  growing:	
  
                 n     Young	
  people	
  –	
  1	
  in	
  4	
  are	
  unemployed
                 n     Mature	
  residents,	
  who	
  either	
  must	
  work	
  for	
  financial	
  reasons	
  or	
  would	
  like	
  to	
  
                        work	
  for	
  personal	
  ones,	
  also	
  face	
  long	
  odds	
  –	
  1	
  in	
  3	
  are	
  unemployed	
  or	
  
                        underemployed
                 n     Immigrants	
  (largely	
  skilled,	
  but	
  with	
  language	
  barriers)	
  and	
  migrants	
  (primarily	
  
                        from	
  rural	
  communiCes)	
  confront	
  even	
  greater	
  challenges	
  –	
  half	
  are	
  neither	
  in	
  
                        work	
  or	
  school.

TradiConal	
  educaCon,	
  job	
  training,	
  job	
  search	
  assistance,	
  and	
  entrepreneurship	
  programs	
  
exist	
  but	
  are	
  oversubscribed	
  and	
  yield	
  poor	
  outcomes	
  with	
  these	
  groups.	
  

However	
  a	
  social	
  enterprise	
  called	
  WorkMatters launched	
  two	
  years	
  ago	
  that	
  has	
  shown	
  
tremendous	
  promise,	
  especially	
  with	
  the	
  young,	
  the	
  experienced,	
  and	
  those	
  who’ve	
  recently	
  	
  
arrived	
  in	
  Sixtown.	
  WorkMatters, a	
  non-­‐profit	
  organizaCon,	
  was	
  founded	
  with	
  a	
  small	
  
foundaCon	
  grant,	
  and	
  then	
  launched	
  a	
  for-­‐profit	
  venture	
  that	
  roasts	
  and	
  sells	
  sustainable	
  
coffee	
  to	
  earn	
  revenue	
  to	
  support	
  its	
  work	
  –	
  and	
  employment	
  for	
  those	
  most	
  in	
  need.	
  

WorkMatters has	
  created	
  many	
  opportuniCes	
  for	
  those	
  leX	
  behind	
  in	
  the	
  current	
  labor	
  
market:	
  it	
  has	
  organized	
  groups	
  of	
  on-­‐line	
  learners,	
  created	
  new	
  kind	
  of	
  internships	
  and	
  
apprenCceships,	
  paired	
  skilled	
  older	
  residents	
  with	
  younger	
  ones	
  for	
  learning	
  and	
  mentoring,	
  
helped	
  people	
  raise	
  capital	
  to	
  start	
  their	
  own	
  firms	
  through	
  share	
  economy	
  plaYorms,	
  and	
  
more.	
  The	
  organizaCon	
  has	
  learned	
  a	
  great	
  deal	
  about	
  what	
  works	
  (and	
  what	
  doesn’t)	
  to	
  help	
  
people	
  build	
  careers.

Although	
  its	
  numbers	
  are	
  small	
  –	
  it	
  has	
  helped	
  100	
  people	
  move	
  out	
  of	
  poverty	
  at	
  a	
  fracCon	
  
of	
  the	
  cost	
  of	
  tradiConal	
  programs	
  –	
  many	
  clients	
  conCnue	
  to	
  advance,	
  some	
  spectacularly	
  so.	
  
In	
  addiCon,	
  WorkMa[ers	
  clients	
  are	
  its	
  most	
  enthusiasCc	
  champions	
  –	
  they	
  have	
  capitalized	
  
new	
  programs	
  on	
  Kickstarter	
  and	
  made	
  t-­‐shirts	
  on	
  Zazzle.	
  

Work Matters	
  is	
  growing	
  and	
  trying	
  new	
  things	
  now,	
  but	
  wants	
  to	
  share	
  lessons	
  in	
  ways	
  
that	
  help	
  all	
  community	
  organizaCons	
  be[er	
  meet	
  employment	
  needs.	
  Funders	
  have	
  
proposed	
  many	
  ideas	
  for	
  sharing	
  informaCon	
  to	
  government,	
  philanthropic,	
  and	
  business	
  
leaders	
  –	
  partnerships,	
  shared	
  or	
  co-­‐branded	
  iniCaCves,	
  joint	
  documentaCon	
  of	
  effecCve	
  
pracCces,	
  mutual	
  mentoring,	
  and	
  many	
  others.	
  

But	
  Sixtown	
  leaders	
  have	
  not	
  reciprocated.	
  They	
  admire	
  WorkMatters' accomplishments	
  –	
  
but	
  from	
  afar.	
  
                 n      Agency	
  programs	
  are	
  guided	
  by	
  precedent	
  and	
  protocols	
  handed	
  down	
  over	
  
                         the	
  years	
  that	
  are	
  resistant	
  to	
  change.	
  
                 n      Governments	
  have	
  limitaCons	
  on	
  how	
  they	
  might	
  "partner"	
  in	
  ways	
  that	
  do	
  
                         not	
  show	
  favoriCsm.	
  
                 n      Some	
  longCme	
  community	
  leaders	
  aren't	
  sure	
  they	
  want	
  to	
  be	
  "advised"	
  by	
  an	
  
                         upstart	
  enterprise	
  with	
  only	
  two	
  years	
  of	
  experience.	
  
                 n      And	
  business	
  leaders	
  liked	
  WorkMatters when	
  it	
  was	
  a	
  bouCque	
  operaCon,	
  
                         but	
  now	
  the	
  enterprise	
  is	
  pressuring	
  CEOs	
  to	
  change	
  hiring	
  and	
  development	
  
                         pracCces,	
  creaCng	
  anxiety	
  in	
  corporate	
  boardrooms	
  all	
  over	
  the	
  city.

SCll,	
  these	
  leaders	
  do	
  want	
  to	
  improve	
  prospects	
  for	
  educaCon,	
  training,	
  jobs,	
  and	
  careers	
  for	
  
residents	
  in	
  their	
  communiCes	
  who	
  are	
  not	
  gedng	
  a	
  fair	
  shake.	
  

You	
  are	
  a	
  community	
  leader	
  from	
  outside	
  the	
  region,	
  brought	
  in	
  by	
  the	
  Global	
  Prosperity	
  
FoundaCon,	
  to	
  coach	
  your	
  peers	
  through	
  this	
  problem.	
  

We	
  invite	
  you,	
  working	
  with	
  colleagues,	
  to	
  advise	
  Sixtown	
  leaders	
  on	
  how	
  they	
  might	
  lead	
  
differently	
  to	
  realize	
  the	
  best	
  possible	
  outcomes	
  for	
  the	
  most	
  people,	
  firms,	
  and	
  organizaCons 	
  
in	
  Sixtown.

The	
  most	
  promising	
  approach,	
  as	
  determined	
  by	
  Sixtown	
  leaders,	
  will	
  be	
  awarded	
  a	
  generous	
  
grant	
  (the	
  Collaboratory	
  Prize)	
  to	
  help	
  scale	
  a	
  social	
  innovaCon	
  in	
  your	
  home	
  community.

Thank	
  you	
  for	
  your	
  parCcipaCon!

Six Simulation

  • 1. THE GLOBAL PROSPERITY FOUNDATION COLLABORATORY November  27,  2012 Welcome  to  Sixtown!   The  community  is  diverse  –  people  speak  many  languages  and  pracCce  all  kinds  of  religious   and  other  tradiCons.  The  economy  is  also  diverse:  the  two  largest  industries  are  advanced   manufacturing  and  agriculture,  and  niche  sectors  like  music  producCon,  chocolate,  and  coffee   are  the  darlings  residents  like  to  celebrate.  The  quality  of  life  is  very  good,  as  reported  by   residents  and  visitors  alike. But  there's  a  downside:  the  region's  overall  prosperity  masks  the  lack  of  opportunity  for  key   groups  of  people  whose  numbers  are  growing:   n Young  people  –  1  in  4  are  unemployed n Mature  residents,  who  either  must  work  for  financial  reasons  or  would  like  to   work  for  personal  ones,  also  face  long  odds  –  1  in  3  are  unemployed  or   underemployed n Immigrants  (largely  skilled,  but  with  language  barriers)  and  migrants  (primarily   from  rural  communiCes)  confront  even  greater  challenges  –  half  are  neither  in   work  or  school. TradiConal  educaCon,  job  training,  job  search  assistance,  and  entrepreneurship  programs   exist  but  are  oversubscribed  and  yield  poor  outcomes  with  these  groups.   However  a  social  enterprise  called  WorkMatters launched  two  years  ago  that  has  shown   tremendous  promise,  especially  with  the  young,  the  experienced,  and  those  who’ve  recently     arrived  in  Sixtown.  WorkMatters, a  non-­‐profit  organizaCon,  was  founded  with  a  small   foundaCon  grant,  and  then  launched  a  for-­‐profit  venture  that  roasts  and  sells  sustainable   coffee  to  earn  revenue  to  support  its  work  –  and  employment  for  those  most  in  need.   WorkMatters has  created  many  opportuniCes  for  those  leX  behind  in  the  current  labor   market:  it  has  organized  groups  of  on-­‐line  learners,  created  new  kind  of  internships  and   apprenCceships,  paired  skilled  older  residents  with  younger  ones  for  learning  and  mentoring,   helped  people  raise  capital  to  start  their  own  firms  through  share  economy  plaYorms,  and   more.  The  organizaCon  has  learned  a  great  deal  about  what  works  (and  what  doesn’t)  to  help   people  build  careers. Although  its  numbers  are  small  –  it  has  helped  100  people  move  out  of  poverty  at  a  fracCon   of  the  cost  of  tradiConal  programs  –  many  clients  conCnue  to  advance,  some  spectacularly  so.  
  • 2. In  addiCon,  WorkMa[ers  clients  are  its  most  enthusiasCc  champions  –  they  have  capitalized   new  programs  on  Kickstarter  and  made  t-­‐shirts  on  Zazzle.   Work Matters  is  growing  and  trying  new  things  now,  but  wants  to  share  lessons  in  ways   that  help  all  community  organizaCons  be[er  meet  employment  needs.  Funders  have   proposed  many  ideas  for  sharing  informaCon  to  government,  philanthropic,  and  business   leaders  –  partnerships,  shared  or  co-­‐branded  iniCaCves,  joint  documentaCon  of  effecCve   pracCces,  mutual  mentoring,  and  many  others.   But  Sixtown  leaders  have  not  reciprocated.  They  admire  WorkMatters' accomplishments  –   but  from  afar.   n Agency  programs  are  guided  by  precedent  and  protocols  handed  down  over   the  years  that  are  resistant  to  change.   n Governments  have  limitaCons  on  how  they  might  "partner"  in  ways  that  do   not  show  favoriCsm.   n Some  longCme  community  leaders  aren't  sure  they  want  to  be  "advised"  by  an   upstart  enterprise  with  only  two  years  of  experience.   n And  business  leaders  liked  WorkMatters when  it  was  a  bouCque  operaCon,   but  now  the  enterprise  is  pressuring  CEOs  to  change  hiring  and  development   pracCces,  creaCng  anxiety  in  corporate  boardrooms  all  over  the  city. SCll,  these  leaders  do  want  to  improve  prospects  for  educaCon,  training,  jobs,  and  careers  for   residents  in  their  communiCes  who  are  not  gedng  a  fair  shake.   You  are  a  community  leader  from  outside  the  region,  brought  in  by  the  Global  Prosperity   FoundaCon,  to  coach  your  peers  through  this  problem.   We  invite  you,  working  with  colleagues,  to  advise  Sixtown  leaders  on  how  they  might  lead   differently  to  realize  the  best  possible  outcomes  for  the  most  people,  firms,  and  organizaCons   in  Sixtown. The  most  promising  approach,  as  determined  by  Sixtown  leaders,  will  be  awarded  a  generous   grant  (the  Collaboratory  Prize)  to  help  scale  a  social  innovaCon  in  your  home  community. Thank  you  for  your  parCcipaCon! RespecYully,   Global  Prosperity  FoundaCon  Trustees PA G E 2
