Hybrid Value Chains - FGCL 2022 with CSOs and Corporations driven by GALs, Social Intrapreneurs, and ABCD Practitioners

It's time the finance industry developed smart ways to invest for Hybrid Value Chains (HVCs) driven by GALs, Social Intrapreneurs, and ABCD Practitioners

While I was invited to the Community Dinner and an Evening of Thanksgiving Celebration under Program Feminist Global Change Leaders 2022 - hosted by CoadyStFX at Markin Complex (Coady West), Desmond and Dennis Hall including visited 989 XFM, Radio Station in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada, then HVCs is one of my learning observation. I pay intention to the criteria of HVCs and re-learned for expanding my experiment by discussing some including below:

• How to construct HVCs from CSOs and Corporations' perspectives;
• How do the role and contribution between Corporations and CSOs (Civil Society Organizations) affect public policy and the wider public;
• How social intrapreneurs have managed to achieve systemic improvements through policy changes at local, national, and international levels, which mostly capitalize on those complementary strengths in increasing benefits and lowering costs";
• How to plan HVCs driven by GALs, Social Intrapreneurs & ABCD Practitioners can bring positive sustainability and resilience accordingly when sustainability and scalability rest on profitability.

However, developing HVCs is only possible while the business has the potential to be large in scale and to cross borders. This will have an enormous impact, not only on the company's bottom line but also on millions of lives.

HVCs mostly be used not for charity work or CSR projects because sustainability and scalability rest on profitability. Consumers—broadly defined—pay for the product or services.

To work together effectively, it must focus on creating real economic & social value, hence A real game-changer in how companies and social organizations can work together

While "Businesses offer scale, expertise in operations, and financing" whereas "Social intrapreneurs offer lower costs, strong social networks, and a deeper understanding of customers and communities"

The combination in between can leverage "shared values and shared belief "

During this time, my discussions and observations covering how the transformation of social intrapreneurs in innovation experience influence systemic change and transform the way in which relevant policy can be significantly designed and implemented, started from advising policymakers to shaping legislation and government decisions. I identified that there are three major ways possibilities of HVCs with social intrapreneurs' spirits contribute to improving policies: 1st. by increasing policymakers' awareness of the social or environmental situation; 2nd. by building policymakers' willingness to take action on the problem; and 3rd. by building the capacity to implement the change.

Since becoming an Awarded FGCL 2022 and Ashoka Changemakers 2022, expanding opportunities by engaging closer with GALs (Gender Action Learning Systems), Social Intrapreneurs, and ABCD practitioners can bridge the gap between the areas of social innovation and policy making which potential to suggest that way forward respective fields. It requires the participation of many stakeholders and implementers who gradually shift toward new ways of thinking and doing, therefore in this complex interaction of actors and processes - the governments play a crucial role in enabling and supporting the path toward system-level change. As highlighted in a report published by Ashoka and McKinsey in 2020, when governments engage and collaborate with social intrapreneurs, the full potential of social innovation is unlocked properly. Hence the importance of bridging social innovation and policymaking is systematized reciprocal priority options.

HVCs need different types of capital at different stages of their life cycles. They may need up-front seed money, but sooner rather than later, customers will have to pay for the product or service they’re receiving.

The designers of HVCs will have to come up with appropriate financing solutions.

They may work with nontraditional partners—some utility companies, for instance, provide “retail” financing at relatively low risk because they are close to their customers—or they may need to work with the usual suspects in unusual ways. Categorizing and mapping the fields and business industry is needed to plan the life cycles of HVCs, and by questioning how the business is currently done. To answer it then the organizations considering one must think holistically about their business strategy and the industry they’re in to get a Win-Win-Win proposition with three kinds of return on their investments with HVCs: Profits, Knowledge, and Talent.
