Six Capitals – Or is it Seven
Mary Adams, President of Smarter Companies, and last week’s guest on ALN Th@ 4 wrote an informative article on multi-capital understanding of organizational valuation. Here is the first paragraph. “Our economies continue to change at an incredible rate. The industrial era is being pushed aside none too soon. Our societies and our planet cannot afford business models that maximize short-term profits at the expense of communities, the environment and even the long-term interest of the companies themselves. The good news is that information technology provides us the tools to re-make businesses to drive innovation and solve problems in new and more effective ways. Success today demands holistic management of tangible, natural and intangible digital and knowledge assets.” See Ms. Adams’ ALN Th@4 program and highlights at this link.
