Expressing a Manifesto, from the Inside Out. [This is a guest blog post written by Julian Giacomelli, CEO of the successful Montreal-based raw-food restaurant and catering business, Crudessence. It describes the journey to craft the company's manifesto and to position the organization for the next stage of its evolution. I'm honored to have supported them along the way.] At Crudessence, we feel very strongly about sustainability, and strive to go even beyond, to transcend the commonly held vision of sustainability. Coming from deep in our collective values is the belief that there is a new way to be in business, in community and in life. And we are out to live that vision. Following this, we invited all our staff to open space meetings.
The Manifesto now graces the walls of our Academy, the Crudessence website, our restaurant menus, and has been shared through Social Media into our ecosystem. [This article first appeared on the blog of the David O'Brien Centre for Sustainable Enterprise at Concordia University.]
Triarchy. A 3-tiered model of trust, and how con men hack people. « Michael O.Church. Something I’ve observed in a variety of human organizations, including almost all businesses, is that the wrong people are making major decisions.

White-collar social climbers with no more integrity than common con artists are the ones to rise through the ranks, while the most honest people (some deserving, most not) are the ones to stagnate or be pushed out. Why is this happening? It’s not that all successful and powerful people are bad. Some are; most aren’t. As I work my way through George R. Something emerges as I relate the moral questions posed by narrative to the murkier world of human interaction, and it’s why people (myself included) are generally so awful at judging character.
A person who does seemingly bad things for good purposes is a dark hero, like Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series. Like this: Samahope: a life-saving website. Isn't it Crazy...
We think it’s crazy that in this day and age, millions of people in poor countries suffer from debilitating medical conditions that can be treated with a simple surgery. So we teamed up to do something about it. Samahope, a website we’re building, lets you change a person's life for just a few dollars by funding his or her procedure.
We focus on surgeries that are low cost, have a high rate of success, and create major life impact for the patient, including treatment for burns, cleft palate, and obstetric fistula. You can learn all about the procedures we fund here. How it Works 1. 2.
