The Business Plan for Peace Project
The Business Plan for Peace is a practical, in-depth study of how we can achieve peace in this lifetime. It looks at not only the formal peace movement, but also other positive movements, such as social enterprise, socially responsible business, the New Thought/New Age movement, anti-poverty and micro-enterprise movements, all of which make up the broader peace movement.
The Business Plan for Peace Project was inspired by the idea that we are already on the way to world peace. But everyone - social enterprises, non-profit organizations, communities, individuals, socially responsible businesses – needs to begin to think of themselves as part of the broader peace movement and that all of their actions, from a single individual to an international social enterprise, are a vital part of this process.
The goal of the Business Plan for Peace is to help organizations, businesses, communities and individuals to realize their vital role in the broader peace movement. The main outcomes of this project will be:
-A minimum 200 page Business Plan for Peace that will be published as a book and
available to all those interested in creating a world at peace.
-The founding of the Center for the New Peace, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization,
which will implement the strategies outlined in the Business Plan for Peace.
-Financial returns: investors are guaranteed a 100% return on investment.
