MANIFESTO FOR BETTER BY MEASURE

WE ARE TRANSITIONING BETWEEN TWO WAYS OF 
SEEING THE WORLD.
MANIFESTO FOR BETTER BY MEASURE 
BETTER BY MEASURE | WEEK 1: SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 
4 
FROM: 
• Organization as machine 
• “The purpose of a business is to increase shareholder value.” 
• Hierarchy in control 
• Scarce resources 
TO: 
• Society as ecosystem 
• The purpose of a business is to create value for stakeholders 
• Collaboration and co-creation 
• Zero marginal costs, abundant resources
“THE PURPOSE OF A BUSINESS IS TO INCREASE 
SHAREHOLDER VALUE.”

We’re optimistic. 
We were born before you (probably), but we are millenials. 
Purposeful. 
Mission-driven. 
Entitled to create. 
Optimistic.
MANIFESTO FOR BETTER BY MEASURE 
BUT WE HAVE BEEN LIVING MOSTLY IN THE WORLD 
OF “FROM.”

BETTER BY MEASURE | WEEK 1: SEPTEMBER 4, 2014
REBECCA SILVER: I AM A MICHIGANDER 
LANSING WAS THE HOME OF OLDSMOBILE FROM 1897 - 1998. 
1970 to 2010 POPULATION: 131,500 to 114,000 = 13% decrease 
1970 to 2010 MANUFACTURING JOBS: 32,100 to 18,400 = 43% decrease 
THIS PROBLEM IS SYSTEMIC. MICHIGAN IS THE ONLY STATE WITH A 
DECREASING POPULATION.

WHAT HAPPENED? 
THE CLEAN AIR ACT PASSED IN 1970 AND IN THE 1973 ARAB OIL EMBARGO 
SHOOK THE AUTO INDUSTRY. 
LARGE, GAS-GUZZLING CARS GAVE WAY TO SMALL, FUEL-EFFICIENT 
JAPANESE IMPORTS. 
TODAY WE OUTSOURCE OUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS.

MAKING BETTER THINGS NOT MAKING THINGS BETTER 
I WORK WITH COMPANIES TO REFRAME SUSTAINABILITY AS A 
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, TO CREATE VALUE RATHER THAN TO 
REDUCE IMPACT. 
I HAVE WORKED FOR ADIDAS, THE NRDC, THE CFDA, WALMART, EDF 
AND OTHERS. I TEACH AT SVA & PARSONS.
