SECTORS / INDUSTRIES
Every sector, every industry, has become very specialized and over a long period of time has been optimized for profit performance. Profit performance has been exceptional for decades, but too little attention has been paid to social and environmental issues. This must change. Process improvements are essential and must focus in improving social impact and environmental impact as well as merely being more profitable.

SECTORS-INDUSTRIES
Sector specialization is one of the characteristics of much of the modern economy. It has enabled a high degree of technical specialization which has been very valuable in achieving technical improvement and more technical efficiency. National and international governance institutions have tended to organize along sector lines and this has helped to promote the interestes of sectors in some cases without taking into consideration cross ector issues.
TPB Note: In my own experience most development initiatives from the World Bank, the United Nations and others have been designed with a single sector focus. They have frequently failed to deliver on their planned goals simply because they needed support from other sector activities which were weak or non-esistant. It was my experience that the success of a PLACE depended on ALL SECTORS coming together in a holistic manner, and it was my experience that the development organizations had very poor mechanisms to solve problems outside the limits of the sector or the limits of the project.
The TVM initiative addressed this problem by retaining the role of a sector from the technical perspective, but also includes STREAMS / STRANDS / STRINGS to reflect the ways in which there are FLOWS through different parts of the socio-enviro-economic system.

SECTOR / INDUSTRY The economy has been segmented by SECTOR or INDUSTRY for a long time, and more so as specialization has created significant differences between the various segments of the econmy. This works for a simple analysis of the economy and its performance, but less so for a global complex interconnected socio-enviro-econmic system
STREAM / STRAND / STRING For a global complex interconnected socio-enviro-econmic system, it is useful to think in terms of STREAMS or STRANDS or STRINGS which flow through many different parts of the system and in the process contribute to progress and maintenance of the system or not.
PROCESS PROCESS is at the core of every NODE in the Socio-Envire-Economic System and therefore a critical element in determing the efficiency of the system

	… and specifically this mean making all the PROCESSES that are used to support our QUALITY OF LIFE more efficient not only to make more PROFIT but also to have a BETTER IMPACT on SOCIETY (PEOPLE) and ENVIRONMENT (PLANET).
	For example … OIL AND GAS ... … attention to the use of ENERGY; … attention to the matter of EMISSIONS into the atmosphere; … attention to the matter of waste water and solid matter polluting the environment; … attention to the matter of oil pollution during production and transportation: … and a whole lot more.
	For example … in AGRICULTURE ... better stewardship of WATER use; … attention to pollution from run-off containing fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, etc; … more responsible use of animal medication to avoid risk of drug resistance important for human health; … the issue of worker exploitation and workplace safety; … and a whole lot more.
	For example … TRANSPORTATION ... … attention to the use of ENERGY; … attention to the matter of EMISSIONS into the atmosphere; … attention to the matter of waste water and solid matter polluting the environment; … and a whole lot more.
	For example … OFFICE BUILDINGS ... … attention to the use of ENERGY; … attention to the matter of EMISSIONS into the atmosphere; … and a whole lot more.
	For example … HEAVY INDUSTRY ... … attention to the use of ENERGY; … attention to the matter of EMISSIONS into the atmosphere; … attention to the matter of waste water and solid matter polluting the environment; … the issue of worker exploitation and workplace safety; … and a whole lot more.
	For example … MINING ... … attention to the use of ENERGY; … attention to the matter of EMISSIONS into the atmosphere; … degradation of the land; … attention to the matter of waste water and solid matter polluting the environment; … the issue of worker exploitation and workplace safety; … and a whole lot more.
	For example … CONSTRUCTION ... … attention to the use of ENERGY; … attention to the matter of EMISSIONS into the atmosphere; … attention to the matter of waste water and solid matter polluting the environment; … the issue of worker exploitation and workplace safety; … and a whole lot more.
CONCLUDING OBSERVATION ... … more than anything else improving the EFFICIENCY of PROCESS will change the trajectory of global socio-enviro-economic performance; … in the past efficiency has simply been about less COSTS and more PROFIT; … in the future EFFICIENCY has to be about better QUALITY OF LIFE for PEOPLE with very little of no damage to the ENIRONMENT (PLANET) INTEGRATED FINANCIAL AND IMPACT ACCOUNTING ... … integration of financial and impact accounting will make it possible for very much better decisions to be made. … high efficiency can be rewarded and there can be social accountability for bad practices and low efficiency. CHIEF PERFORMANCE OFFICER Maybe in the near future it will be possible to rename the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) to be the CPO … the Chief Performance Officer, a C-level position that integrates financial performancewith impact on society (people) and impact on the environment (planet).

BURGESS BOOK DRAFT - SECTOR BOOK

Chapter 1. Sector Perspective
This chapter describes the importance of a multi-sector approach ... how a single sector initiative frequently fails because some other sector is not functional. This chapter also highlights the importance of sector specific technical capacity.
