Capital Missions Company (CMC) creates networks of investors, business leaders
and philanthropists to catalyze a globally sustainable economy. Over the past 26
years, President Susan Davis, has successfully proven
KINS (Key Initiator Network
Strategy), her networking method, as a time-efficient and cost-efficient
approach to introduce innovation into culture. KINS networks leverage
philanthropic dollars into catalytic initiatives to solve social problems and is
based on the understanding that 'we are all one'.
Over the past 26 years Susan Davis, using the KINS method, has served as a
founding organizer for networks of
sustainability leaders,
solar
leaders,
angel investors,
institutional investors,
Nigerian village women,
social
venture capitalists,
leading
socially-responsible CEOs,
families
with wealth of $100 million plus,
leading
women business owners,
leading
finance executives, and
Chicago
women leaders.
As founding organizer, she suggested the network’s mission, raised the funds to
organize the network, identified the constituencies to be represented,
researched to find the servant leaders to represent each constituency, brought
the servant leaders together to design the network and then executed the design
they created. After 1-3 years, when each network was ready for
self-administration, CMC spun off the networks to be independent.
CMC recently spun off the
Tipping Point Network. The Tipping Point Network was intended to focus
philanthropic funds to increase the market share of sustainability from its
current 2% to 10%, after which the 'tipping point' is expected to occur and the
global economy is expected to fund sustainability. (See the TPN power point to
the left.) When servant leaders from 35 constituencies gathered heeding this
call, they decided to focus on powerful collaborations they created across many
spheres to create sustainability’s tipping point. In the first year, more than
$3 million in grants and pledges was committed to tipping point initiatives. TPN
keeps a low profile to avoid “institutional narcissism” and members have a
particular interest in “local living economies.”
CMC shares the KINS innovation method “open source” on its website as each
network enhances the KINS design over the last one. The latest enhancements have
been created by the Tipping Point Network and are summarized in the TPN
powerpoint on this page.
Susan Davis is presently creating a KINS Innovation Network pro bono in
Vilcabamba, Ecuador, a model global eco-village. Eight village leaders from
different constituencies have launched a dozen projects they are passionate
about to serve Vilcabamba through a network named “Ayni Mollepamba” (Reciprocity
in Mollepamba), a neighborhood of Vilcabamba. Working pro bono, they have
received grants for their out-of-pocket expenses from FlowFunding.org, Marion
Weber’s innovative program in philanthropy. Through FlowFunds channeled through
this KINS Innovation Network, we are demonstrating how 100% of philanthrophic
funds from the developed world can get to the ground in the developing world. In
addition, GlobalGiving.com is a third partner. Not only do FlowFunds come
through them, but our projects will soon be shown on the GlobalGiving.com
website so that anyone in the world can contribute to them using PayPal.
Susan Davis is now available for key consulting assignments offering high
leverage in transforming the global economy to sustainability. Those interested
are invited to contact us.
Susan Davis was featured in the January,
2009, ODE
Magazine as one of 25 key "intelligent optimists,"
honored by Hazel Henderson, founder of EthicalMarkets.com.
