The Belonging Economy Model

The Belonging Economy Model is a framework to describe the dynamics of that will shape the next epoch of technology, the humans and communites inside it - and how they shape one another.

The model contains two sets of triads - inner and outer.

  • Inner triad describes how communities help personas belong, own and earn

  • Outer triad describes the biggest global challenges - purpose, resources and wellness

The model is rotated so that two cells in either triad unlock the third or one cell in either triad unlocks the other two.

Communities where you belong, own and earn, drive the future of purpose, resources and wellness .
