At a recent meeting in Amsterdam, Bill and Ralph were asked who has downloaded our Blueprints, and Ralph answered, "I have no idea. We don't track that information, because, as a Global Common Good, we don't want to put any barrier between our audience and our content." It also means that we partner broadly, in the spirit of our pre-competitive, market-making commitments. This month, we're glad to announce a number of new Advocation Partners, including our longtime friend John Fullerton of the Capital Institute, who keynoted <https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=ae5c95b802&e=e9fc303c86> our 3rd International Conference in 2015 with the provocation of whether the bioregion is a more apt locus of attention than the corporation -- a notion that resonated with us deeply over the years. To get a sense of the depth of our connection, the Capital Institute figures into many of the newsletter items this month, which you can find bulleted below: - *UNRISD Report Released* - *Last Chance to Join Blueprint Working Groups* - *r3.0 in Keith Ambachtsheer's Monthly Letter* - *Next Transformation Academy in Rotterdam* - *Now What?!

The report is the first of several collaborations in this 4-year Indicators Project <https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=03b07adcc3&e=e9fc303c86> -- Bill is already working on the second report in the series, which will propose Tier Two Contextualized Indicators corresponding to 33 Tier One Incrementalist Indicators from a July 2019 UNCTAD report <https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=b59eb4c5a9&e=e9fc303c86>.

In his October 2019 Letter (pdf downloadable here <https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=ca9a577863&e=e9fc303c86>), he takes on the question of "Sustainable Finance," inspired in part by his participation in the r3.0 Sustainable Finance Blueprint Working Group. "[S]ustainability means ‘ability to exist constantly’ at the macro (biosphere/humanity) level. It has a parallel meaning at the micro (individual organization) level. These definitions set us on our way to common understandings of macro and micro ‘sustainable finance’," Keith writes, echoing the r3.0 focus on the micro/macro link. He goes on to specifically spotlight r3.0's work on Sustainable Finance, referencing our "crowdsourcing" through our Blueprint Working Group process; "boundary setting" through our Global Thresholds & Allocations Council <https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=8d142e21fc&e=e9fc303c86>; and "threshold investing" as proposed <https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=3a3e68bcc1&e=e9fc303c86> by Bill and r3.0 Advocation Partner Mark McElroy back in 2013.

For a sense of the value of the Transformation Journey Program, here a testimonial: “The Transformation Journey Program has helped me grasp the context of what is needed for systems change and ultimate thriveability. Moving towards thriveability requires sound tools so that organisations can map where they are, and the journey they need to take to get there. The TJP equips the team with the tools and helps lay out the route.” *Lauren Muusse Senior Sustainability Advisor, ING* Now What?!

Now that GTAC has received seed funding for producing a Feasibility Study (also leading to a 3-year / €3m Funding Strategy), plans are promising for a formal launch in mid-2020. Accordingly, we're excited for Bill to share about GTAC in a Plenary Keynote at the New Metrics Conference in Philadelphia on November 18-20. r3.0 Managing Director Ralph Thurm will also be speaking in a Breakout Workshop on the *Principles of Regenerative Economics and the Future of Regeneration-Based Business Model Innovation <https://r3-0.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=749af2e0ab2f54ee18b2482c5&id=100e1fa6b5&e=e9fc303c86> *(moderated by Bill).

A deep understanding of the changing structural undercurrents of our financial and socio-economic domains is imperative. To assess these dynamics, EntropoMetrics applies chaos theory and thermodynamic principles to these domains. Our diagnostic framework allows us to perform a so-called Technical Domain Analysis (as either research or consultancy), to enable the policy-making of today. *Martijn Veening, Founder & Analyst, EntropoMetrics* *"The recent impressive wave in new (circular, cyclical) economic paradigms is currently in need of convergence and consolidation into a useful new framework, ready for implementation. At EntropoMetrics we think the r3.0 initiative is providing exactly this, and we hope to contribute to this systemic point of view, specifically for the Value Cycles Blueprint."* 2Impact enables organisations to turn their purpose into real impact. At 2Impact we believe that organisations that focus on the needs of their stakeholders and society at large are the ones that will succeed in the long run. *Esther de Graaf, Founder, 2Impact* *"What inspires us at 2impact is the chance to collaborate with like-minded people and change organisations in their thinking and action. r3.0 offers a great collaborative framework to immerse ourselves in the questions of necessary change.
