Peter Burgess
I recently came across your LinkedIn articles on the TrueValueMetrics System, and I am fascinated by your drive to build an accounting system that combines financial, social, and environmental metrics into one.
My company, ORB International, is focused on helping foundations, NGOs, and impact investing firms better understand and measure their impact in order to tell a story that resonates with their stakeholders.
I would love to talk about how you understand and conceptualize impact measurement in the philanthropic, for-profit, and impact investing spaces. Let me know if you're up for a quick chat.

Peter Burgess 12:14 AM Hi Cara
I am getting old and slowing down ... but still very motivated to do something useful.
The 'for profit' world has done very well over the past 40* years as corporate 'productivity' has improved faster than ever before in history ... but much of this has come at the expense of society (people) and nature (the environment). Meanwhile, when I look at the world I see rich societies taking advantage of poor folk with impunity.
My website is both a 'work in progress' and something of an archive of my thinking ... the corporate world has become incredibly productive and profitable but also something of a social and natural parasite! In my view 'accountants' have failed abysmally to modernize to embrace social and environment as they engage with economic profit. Chartered Accountants in the UK (ICAEW for example) started to do something along these lines in the 1990s but it was discontinued quite fast ... but it is time to try again.
Let's talk ... any time 8,00 am to Midnight!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to learn more about ORB International!
Best
Peter Burgess
