A simple change in federal procurement could trigger marketplace revolution. As much as this pandemic is an unexpected challenge, it is also an unprecedented opportunity, Trudeau said. This is our chance to build a more resilient Canada. . .... . . .

David LePage has recently published Marketplace Revolution from Concentrated Wealth to Community Capital. If you are interested in constructive social change and social justice and would like an unbearably practical way to go about it and to find your place in it, our latest podcast conversation with David is a great place to begin the journey into, what he calls, a Social Value Marketplace. There are three practices converging to make it possible. Social Enterprise, Social... Procurement, and Social Value Finance. This convergence is necessary and underway. David speaks to each of them in this conversation and in his book. This Buy Social Canada Social Value Marketplace podcast is brought to you by Buy Social Canada in collaboration with Axiom News. . . . . .

Would you ever think to relate piano with Social Procurement? Well Peter Pula does in his latest blog, and the results are... symphonic. Inspired by the recent launch of Marketplace Revolution from Concentrated Wealth to Community Capital by David LePage, we are re-issuing an earlier series of Buy Social Canada's Social Value Marketplace podcasts which Axiom News produced in collaboration with Buy Social Canada. In this blog, Peter walks us through the five podcast conver...sations released to date with David, Nancy Neamtan, Stephen Young, Tim Coldwell, and Dr. Martin Loosemore, and how they collectively paint a picture of Social Procurement from concept to delivery.

REWEAVING: Tell Me A Story We are hearing, in the stories whose paths we are crossing, great diversity. We are hearing of struggle, joy, fatigue, fear, longing, restoration, and even peace. In our last call this diversity was held and heard. We shared emblems that carry personal meaning in our story. Consider, what are the stories you are hearing about your community. What stories do you tell yourself? What is the story your soul of souls longs to live into? If you were to wr...ite a five-word headline for a story you’d like to tell, what would it be? Who knows what question or story will arise for us in the moment when we meet. Contemplations like these might open the way. JOIN US for the next #TogetherApart Creative Circle meeting this Friday, July 31, 2020 at 8:00 am EST / 1:00 pm GMT+1. We meet via Zoom and there is no cost to join.

Inspired by the recent launch of Marketplace Revolution from Concentrated Wealth to Community Capital by David LePage, we are re-issuing an earlier series of Buy Social Canada's Social Value Marketplace podcasts which Axiom News produced in collaboration with Buy Social Canada. The second in the series is from what might feel like an unlikely place. SAP is a massive, trans-national corporation. Their enterprise supports systems, employed by organizations around the world co...me into contact with 77 per cent of the world’s transaction revenue. They are working with networks like Buy Social Canada to connect social enterprises with social procurement opportunities. This has the potential to unleash untold revenue and create demand for organizations whose enterprising purposes are for social and community gain, rather than the concentration of capital in private hands. Redirecting the current spending of anchor institutions by building in social outcomes criteria could catalyze a social transformation, invigorate local and associational life, and bring social economy to the forefront of how and why our marketplaces work. Stephen Young is global lead for SAP’s Procurement with Purpose program. In the second podcast of the series, Finding Purchase for a Marketplace Revolution, we explore with Stephen his work with SAP. . . . . . #SocialEconomy #SocialValueMarketplace #socialprocurement #socialenterprise #socialfinance #socent #Procurement #economy #podcast

"If we understand that we are engaged in a process of community resurgence, this means we are advancing effective emergency preparedness and response efforts, while at the same time progressing renewal efforts to ensure that as we transition through COVID-19, we can respond to what emerges throughout this pandemic, sustaining and developing more democratic and equitable communities, heralding a healthier society."
