About Us
Making Value Visible:
Helping all of us transform from exploitive monocapitalism to integrative multicapitalism
Our Vision:
Meta-integration
Making the world a better place through metaintegration (i.e., synthesizing the world’s wisdom)
Our Mission:
Be IMPACT
To enable individuals, teams, and organizations to Be IMPACT through the integration of four distinct types of social impact:
Deep Impact – transforming hearts and minds,
Clear Impact – transforming bodies and behaviors,
High Impact – transforming systems and environments, and
Wide Impact – transforming relationships and culture.
Our Approach:
Making Value Visible
Providing integrative frameworks, tools and services that help organizations maximize mission driven impact through the design and implementation of Wisdom Economies – multicapital systems that preserve the wholeness of individuals and systems.
About MetaIntegral
MetaIntegral is a global transdisciplinary social impact organization with offices in the United States, Brazil, and Australia. We are committed to transforming capitalism into a system that works for all of us forever. Thus we support visionary leaders, teams, and organizations to Be IMPACT through the design and implementation of Wisdom Economies. Wisdom Economies are systems of value exchange that combine four elements: multiple types of impact, multiple forms of capital, multiple kinds of data, and multiple bottom lines. To integrate these elements into a user-friendly approach we have developed The MetaImpact Framework. This framework lies at the heart of what we call integral multicapitalism – the integrated cultivation and measurement of multiple forms of capital in order to have more positive kinds of individual and collective impact.
MetaIntegral is comprised of four interrelated branches or divisions that each has a specific focus that contributes to our vision and mission. These are described below.
