TransCap Initiative

Applying a systems frame invites us to explore what the finance system could be if we used more human and organic language. It challenges us to explore within our system where there are tensions between a new way of thinking and how we frame the purpose of money at large.

We couldn’t get people to stop chatting! But that's obviously a great problem to have, especially if the conversations are as constructive, thought-provoking, and action-oriented as the ones we have seen at the inaugural Systemic Investing Summit.

At the Summit, 15 World Café roundtables and 17 "Forging Collaboration" sessions showed how the key concepts of systemic investing could be harnessed in service of a wide range of societal goods and across different system scales, geographic areas, and cultural contexts.

The inaugural Systemic Investing Summit is a wrap! And the 152 people in attendance made it clear that the moment for bringing systems thinking and practice to the world of sustainable finance has arrived. #systemicinvesting

Indeed. The Summit is carefully designed and curated, so it's by invitation only. We have a set of slots still available and encourage those interested in attending to reach out to us here: shorturl.at/fio18

We're thrilled to have been admitted to the New Capitalism Project's Systems Change Lab (hosted by @theGIIN) to develop a systemic investing prototype in the USA. If you want to learn more, reach out to @ivanagazibara. newcapitalismproject.org/labnotes/how-t…

New behind the scenes info from our work in the Swiss #mobility system. We’d love to hear from other voices in the space about how they approach new systems and stakeholder engagement! #transformation #systemicinvesting transformation.capital/places/unlocki…

You beat us to the Twitter announcement, @gquaggiotto 🤓 But, yes: Systemic Investing Summit, 29-31 January 2024, at the academic cradle of systems thinking and complexity science (@MIT). More here: transformation.capital/places/systemi…

What we learn in this process might enable us to develop a blueprint for other challenge-led, Doughnut Economics-based placemaking efforts around the world. Check out @DoughnutEcon's Community directory to spot cities and regions already working with DE: doughnuteconomics.org/members

We’re going to explore how to bring a capital lens to urban transformation, e.g. by how different forms of capital can be orchestrated to fund strategic intervention portfolios. Learn more about Regen Melbourne here: regen.melbourne

Exhilarated to announce a strategic partnership with #RegenMelbourne to bring systemic investing to challenge-led, Doughnut Economics-based placemaking. cc @KateRaworth @jryancollins @kajlofgren @cityofsound @AlexHannant

We will be working with @IngridBurkett, @AlexHannant, and the team at Griffith CSI to further develop the conceptual underpinnings of systemic investing, explore and support prototypes, and convene pioneers, with a particular geo focus on Australia and New Zealand.

We're thrilled to announce a partnership with @Centre4SysInnov on building the field of systemic investing / systems capital through joint research, thought leadership, and convening. medium.com/good-shift/dee… cc @gquaggiotto @theasnow @CassieRobinson @indy_johar @cityofsound
