"In both business and economic development, our understanding of success

has been incomplete. Previous efforts to go beyond economic measurement

alone have laid important groundwork, but we need a more holistic,

comprehensive, and rigorous approach.

is an attempt to address these gaps and

opportunities. Social progress depends on the policy choices, investments, and

implementation capabilities of multiple stakeholders – government, civil society,

and business.

Action needs to be catalysed at country level. By informing and motivating those

stakeholders to work together and develop a more holistic approach to

development, I am confident that social progress will accelerate."

”If you want well-being, you will not

get it if you care only about

accomplishment [e.g. profit].

To flourish, we must learn that the

positive business & the individuals

engagement, positive emotion &

positive relations.”
