If the role of business is to identify an others pain and offer a cost effective solutions to that pain, one would suspect compassion would have a major role in business.
Should more businesses be embedding, or at least deriving inspiration from a Charter for Compassion when formulating the company mission and standard operating procedures?

If you had a virus that if given to a patient, cured them, and once cured, would give that patient the ability to infect other sick people with that virus, hence curing them and so on until all sick people were cured; Would you start the ball rolling by giving that virus to the first [...]
Having just written about a Crisis of Trust I must recognise that, as a society, we still trust.
The following TED talk I found reassuring. His observations provide partial reason for why my Plan to “Save the World” may just work.
Like every world changing idea now-a-days, mine too involves the internet to a very limited degree. [...]
Despite all the complicated Systems and Mechanisms our society institutes to reduce the need for trust, our day to day lives are manageable only because we do trust.
We trust that the oncoming traffic will stay on their side of the road, we trust that the money we give to the banks will be available to [...]
Lets assume for a moment that I have the solution that will save the world and an action plan to implement it.
If you think I have, you might invest in it. If you think I haven’t you won’t.
You’re a hard nosed investor, you’ve got no children to pass the world on to, you’re very self-centred [...]
The world needs saving because the climate is changing. This is impacting on the way we as humans currently live and we are all worried.
Being agnostic I find I just don’t know what the truth of the situation is. There is so much conflicting information out there that seems to be so complicated and with [...]
You can imagine with a goal or mission to “Save the World”, especially when you are not certain that it even needs saving, that the journey along the way becomes pretty important.
You’ve got to like the process. You have to enjoy pondering things. You have to find it interesting connecting disparate things together and deriving [...]
Most importantly it must come from a position of Love.
Individuals must personally benefit from participation.
Groups must get a benefit through involvement.
Must produce more than it uses. (Adds Value)
Must be self-perpetuating, It must grow as a natural consequence of its structure.
Doesn’t add up?
Seems like perpetual motion to you?
Never-the-less I must include all these elements in my [...]
You have no “rights”. Not even to eat, drink, breath or even to be born.
Everything we regard as rights has taken energy to give the appearance of being a right.
Institutions which consolidate that appearance require constant energy to maintain them.
Like the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics without energy to bring order from disorder a system will [...]
We spend an inordinate amount of time creating systems to try to make the world fair.
I agree with what Alain says in the following video. Somewhat staging the issue but not the solution. If you don’t have time to watch it all, the last 2 minutes cut to the chase with a great question and [...]
