Measuring Thrivability. Every time I speak to an MBA class about thrivability (as I did recently), it’s only a matter of time before someone asks: how do you measure it? For some reason, it’s only MBAs who ask this. As it happens, we hosted a Thrivability Montreal conversation about this question last year, with guest speaker Kristian Gareau, who was doing research on the topic for his Master’s program. I took detailed notes that evening, but until now I hadn’t yet synthesized them into a blog post. At the time, it didn’t seem as if we had come to solid enough conclusions, though there were many valuable insights that emerged. Actually, that may be the conversation’s conclusion in itself: thrivability is measured more in insights than in conclusions. After answering the MBAs several times since, those insights are finally coming into focus enough to share them here. At the conversation, we started the evening exploring the multiple faces of thrivability: “How could we possibly measure that?”

Art Brock | Kevin A. Thrivable - Thrivable. The Code / Fundamental Pattern - Nature appears to rely on one core recurring pattern to evolve life at every scale – the torus. What are some of the ways knowledge of the pattern is being applied? Fan and Propeller Technologies Pax Scientific has patented the application of the phi spiral for translating “nature's flow efficiencies into streamlined design geometries.” The result is more efficient and effective technologies such as fans, turbines, pumps, and more. A small phi-design propeller is able to circulate a million gallon water storage tank in the form of a torus. “New Energy” Devices Many “New Energy” technologies are based on the pattern – they mimic the torus in order to tap energy from the space around us.
Philosophy Ashok Gangadean uses the torus to blend the philosophies of East and West, transcending the old worldview where we are all just isolated entities.
