1PIE: Greater than the Sum of its Parts Six PIE sectors and their unique roles 1PIE Global Sustainability Network Vision: 1PIE.org Collaboration Portal Report: PIE best practices in The Global Summit Whether a media group leads a cause-based marketing campaign to stop AIDS, a university creates greener technology, or an artist inspires a child in need, social, economic and environmental impact is deepened through collaboration of six mutually supportive PIE sectors. Empowering all voices to be heard, Partners in Empowerment™ (PIE) is a unique six sector civic engagement framework which serves as the foundation of EW's 7 Stage Approach, The Global Summit™, and the emerging 1PIE Global Sustainability Network and Collaboration Portal. Rather than focusing on isolated issues such as health, jobs, or ecology, PIE emphasizes peoples', organizations', and businesses' ROLES based on what we have to contribute. These roles are universal and can be applied to any challenge a community or region faces. Where do you see yourself in the PIE? (click for descriptions)
1PIE Global Sustainability Network Comprised of Social Entrepreneurs, Collaborating Non-profits, Educational Institutions, Sustainable Businesses, Responsible Media Groups, and Artists in Action, Partners In Empowerment™ (PIE) is a global participatory network united in action for a sustainable world. Uniting dedicated partners at the local level is the first of Empowerment Works' founding 7 Stages to Sustainability approach. Together, this synergistic diversity of stakeholders promotes the transfer of critical information, appropriate technology, and capital, co-creating global solutions from the grass-roots up. Report: PIE best practices in The Global Summit Over the past several years, "Partners In Empowerment" (PIE) was a friendly term for collaborating non-profits and private-sector supporters. Alas, The Global Summit 2008 laid the foundation of this global values based community. Day one of The Global Summit 2008, was dedicated to answering the question, "What is the best each of (our selected sector) can do to co-create a sustainable world?" Key notes and sector Co-Chairs explored leading edge innovations and inspired participants who engaged in six working sessions, delivering 5 guiding principals supporting each sector's best practices. On day 2, a full breakthrough session was dedicated to evolving the 1PIE Portal with group's program objectives and portal elements reviewed and electronically voted on by all Summit participants. To co-create next steps with us, please join the 1PIE wiserearth portal or e-mail: think@empowermentworks.org.
Vision: 1PIE.org Collaboration Portal To catalyze PIE collaboration throughout the year, and further highlight, exchange and promote the best practices of each, EW is developing 1PIE.org. Hosted on EW & partner sites it will link local initiatives with global opportunities and track progress of commitments made at The Global Summit. For example—nonprofits interested in clean water in Zimbabwe can join with environmental engineers in Germany specializing in water purification systems, while conferencing with technologists worldwide looking to expand their network, in addition to collaborating with foreign policy makers looking for traction, and journalists that seek exposure. Each meets their specific, individual goals within the broader context of creating a more sustainable society. 1pie.org will empower "Partners In Empowerment" (PIE) via: 1. Local needs assessments to reduce duplication of local and global partners; 2. Critical Mass (Policy, Action & Public Awareness) Campaigns uniting like-minded groups; 3. Online Eco-Mall fueling PIE community initiatives; 4. Appropriate technology database supporting transfer to local program areas & partners; 5. Program Collaboration tools facilitating Private, Public & Voluntary participation in 7 Stages to Sustainability for greater impact; 6. Measuring and highlighting the integrative bottom line of "sustainability" for each participant via quantifiable "Collaborative Open Standards". These standards will be community reviewed and rated. *These 1pie.org interactive online tools will also expand The Global Summit's impact by creating access for remote participants. Together We Can. *Check out EW's multi-sector collaboration workshop for individuals, non-profits, businesses. |
