g3id.org co-creators

Together we have everything we need to achieve the SDGs. We have the money and we have the technology. All we need is partnerships and changing the way we think and work together! Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. Don’t be afraid - join g3id.org!

Geneva has the potential to become a leading hub for social innovation and sustainable development the same way Silicon Valley has become a leading ecosystem for high-tech research and enterprises. And g3id.org is spearheading this transformation by committing to radically accelerate progress towards the global goals. I can imagine nothing more difficult to attempt, and nothing better worth attempting.

As a responsible and concerned member of our planet's population I have heard enough data, debates and quibbling ... Concerted and collaborative action is needed to halt the collective damage we are causing and to be a catalyst for positive change. Why am I with g3id.org? As relevant, innovative, bold and courageous action is necessary, in terms of how we manage our collective resources resources, responsibly. I wish to support the efforts of this community - here in Geneva - and change paradigms and have impact required beyond; to be a force for good. Think crazy, think big, dare, challenge status quo and incremental change steps...listen...support...keep eye on where we want to go! I believe g3id.org is a platform for this.

International and interdisciplinary co-creation can radically accelerate the realisation of the SDGs. It additionally turns diversity & inclusion from a moral obligation into a fundamental necessity. g3id.org showcases and lives these innovative and self-managed ways of collaboration across organisations, topics and cultures in a directly experienceable 1-day format.

g3id.org ticks all the boxes for me: I love challenges. ✓ Achieving the SDGs by 2030 certainly is a challenge. I love being surrounded by inspiring people ✓ The g3id.org team is definitely a group I can learn a lot from. I love finding solutions ✓ The g3id.org is all about co-creation of solutions for accelerating progress towards the SDGs. I love trying something new ✓ The g3id.org is all about trying unconventional approaches in order to create something truly innovative. And lastly, I truly care about our goal: Accelerating progress towards the SDGs. ✓

I believe in co-creation. Taking into consideration all the facets of the world is impossible as we are finite human beings. Working together, I discovered other views and learnt to understand them as well as to collaborate. 1+1 becomes 3 and I am convinced that we will help accelerate the SDGs for a better world.

My motivation for the g3id.org: We are preparing an event which will be innovative in its format (formal events of int. orgz have become tasteless, sometimes absurd) + we prepare it in an innovative way, with open-minded people + we have the task to uncover really cool innovations, while embracing prototyping, failures to learn from, as well as high-impact, possibly scalable solutions! What can be more exciting than that?

I am excited to be part of g3id.org as I have been inspired by this fantastic concept to try and make a difference and help to change the world faster....

g3id.org is unique. It is a chance to truly change the world. A chance to rethink the future. Image the unimaginable. Dare to dream bigger. Say what needs to be said. Do what needs to be done! Geneva is the house of thousands of people who, like me, what to make the world a better place for all. As such, it has incredible potential to become the centre of disruptive change. g3id.org offers the platform need for collective action. Who said 2020 wasn't possible?

...and, one day I found out that there are people out there dreaming my dream. So I joined g3id.org to make it real. How about you? Have you found your co-dreamers? Are you ready to start co-creating it?

I decided to join g3id.org convinced of the need for more collaborative an innovative thinking to speed-up the implementation of the SDGs.  Is like the proverb: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.    g3id.org aims to provide the right environment to spur creativity, challenge your imagination using a range of innovative formats while presenting impactful solutions with potential for scaling. To me this is pretty exciting.  Do you want to make part of our journey?

Why am I in the g3id.org? I've been in the business world all my life.  When the SDGs were published last year with another 15 year timescale, it seemed a lot like the UN was in "business as usual" mode. If we set a much more ambitious target, like say, 2020, you have to throw the rulebook out of the window and try different ways.  Technological innovation has been surpassed by social innovation in the last few years. The way we do things is now at least as important as what we do. New ways of collaborating allow individuals to be more agile than large organisations, then scale up rapidly to make lasting change. So with a focus on accelerating the SDGs and the right framework enabling exponential innovation we can change the world a lot faster than we think.
