Why CSQ Certification?
ACT Government Policy, EconomyTech, Corporate Social Accountability, and SUSTAIN Certifications are a big-picture solution for the training and governance needed to build sustainable nations and good lives reliably.
We’re a young world with a bright future ahead.
The unfortunate fact, historically speaking, is that our understanding and education systems have held us back from building sustainable agrarian societies, then monetary societies – and today we are automating societies as well.
We’ve paid dearly for our leadership shortcomings, in time lost, in hard lives, and in loves lost to wars too.
- A 72% international economic collapse-trending rate including most of our large democracies – U.S., France, Canada, U.K.
- Corporations are hoarding wealth, creating inequity that is choking their own success
- Financial Industries are proven to damage economies in every academic research paper we can locate
- We have taught our MBA grads unsustainable “externalization of cost” for their essential security, infrastructure, education, & health care
- Creating Bonus Programs or Quarterly Reporting Programs which ensure only socially-irresponsible short-term-benefit thinking.
Large Multi-national conglomerates can hoard profits, offshore work, avoid tax, fail to invest in local companies, lower wages, and not self-police their social irresponsible behaviors until governments must either regulate them or social instability drives investors to push-back on executive teams that risk total loss due to civil unrest and violent uprises
For 4,000-years in documented history, governments have had to implement controls and corrections on commerce in order to reset the natural inequities created by monetary system cycles – and by successful capitalism.
Business is not designed to balance needs of commerce and society. Government’s role is to implement balance that sustains strong commerce and opportunity – but business can help.
Working heads-down to become the very best at walking straight off a cliff, fails even the most basic understanding of good common sense. But working to make opportunity larger so that your company can share in a strong and stable economy – that does make common sense. Better to reset and balance inequity, that permits economic boom once again – as we see in the teachings of the science of Transition Economic described in this chart.
