Today, it has become strikingly obvious that companies no longer
operate in an environment where only risk return and volatility
describe the business environment. The business has to deal with
volatility plus uncertainty, plus complexity and ambiguity (VUCA):
that requires new qualities, competencies, frameworks; and it
demands a new mind set to deal with the VUCA environment in
investment, funding and financing. This book builds on a new
megatrend beyond resilience, called anti-fragility. We have had the
black swan (financial crisis) and the red swan (COVID) - the Bank
for International Settlement is preparing for regenerative
capitalism, block chain based analysis of financial streams and is
aiming to prevent the "Green Swan" - the climate crisis to lead to
the next lockdown. In the light of the UN 17 Sustainable
Development Goals, what is required, is Theories of Change. Written
by experts working in the fields of sustainable finance, impact
investing, development finance, carbon divesting, innovation,
scaling finance, impact entrepreneurship, social stock exchanges,
alternative currencies, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), ledger
technologies, civil action, co-creation, impact management, deep
learning and transformation leadership, the book begins by
analysing existing Theories of Change frameworks from various
disciplines and creating a new integrated model - the
meta-framework. In turn, it presents insights on creating and using
Theories of Change to redirect investment capital to sustainable
companies while implementing the Sustainable Development Goals and
the Paris Climate Agreement. Further, it discusses the perspective
of planetary boundaries as defined by the Stockholm Resilience
Institute, and investigates various aspects of systems,
organizations, entrepreneurship, investment and finance that are
closely tied to the mission ingrained in the Theory of Change. As
it demonstrates, solutions that ensure the parity of profit, people
and planet through dynamic change can effectively address the needs
of entrepreneurs and business. By exploring these concepts and
their application, the book helps create and shape new markets and
opportunities.
