Our most recent economy is based on the flow of money. The bottom line is profit. The new economy recognizes that organizations are also a part of a system of people, community, and the broader environment. Most importantly, organizations can be conscious and responsible for that huge impact on their spheres of influence.
What is NEBA?
We understand that the new economy is being driven by people, new government policies and new environmental standards. We understand that companies that cannot find strategic solutions to meet those demands and still be profitable will become dinosaurs. We have spent ten years of research and practice to understand how to help an organization hold the thought foundations, and develop or tweak their strategies throughout their business to stay ahead of the curve. We are New Economy Business Architects and it is our mission to help organizations build a business that leads with strength.
What is NEO?
The New Economy Organization process first helps your company understand that a natural system helps an organization function with success in the new economy. A natural system is dynamically conscious of inputs and outputs of all forms of energy (not just money) and the flow between them.
1. We help an organization become conscious of all its parts – not just the ones we are used to controlling to achieve a certain outcome, but the parts that affect more than profit (people, environment, community and organizational flow) We do this, by teaching FLOW. Flow is the ability to observe and discern how those parts work together optimally.
2. We help the action. We help an organization align strategy, structure and systems and integrate all the different streams accurately to create optimal use of all its resources. We help track, and report an integrated look at all the layers of the organization.
A natural system allows ALL the optimal byproducts to emerge, grow and self-propel: employee satisfaction, environmental sustainability, sound proactive strategy, profit. A true multiple bottom line picture is created.
How it Works
An organization should set it’s its own pace. Whether it is just the education, one area of change or full certification, we can assist your company integrate to the level it wants to achieve.
The Full Spectrum:
An organization optimally aligns all its resources to create the best outcome. Each of our cutting edge divisions have programs, training, and solutions to invent a flow. We think of connection, alignment, and flow as strategic assets.
Organizational Flow
Optimal Flow allows Optimal Performance and Optimal Profit. ALL levels will experience more optimal flow, and thus better performance and profit.
What is examined for Certification?
Category I – Strategic Efficiency: examines the entire organization from the context of flow, health and well being, and growth. Answers will be gathered to questions critical to the expression of your vision, values and growth of your organization.
We will be examining:
Best Practices in business and how you are using them to maximum effectiveness
Resources allocation – is it Conscious, Efficient, aligned with other bottom lines, conscious of product and organization life cycle issues?
Financial Performance – Revenues, Expenses, Profit, ROI, Growth Rate
Market Share and how financial performance is integrated
Strategy (growth, market share, multiple bottom line reporting systems and structures, technological integration)
Organizational Vision – as a foundation piece of the organization how fully is it integrated throughout the layers of the company?
Connectivity and Flow - is it aligned to create optimal performance and growth?
Multiple Bottom Lines - are they clearly understood, integrated and measuring what they are supposed to?
Individual Health and Well Being - Physical Health, Emotional Health and work-life balance
Organizational Effectiveness – Flexibility, Responsiveness, Transparency,
Ethics, Productivity, Efficiency, Corporate Social Responsibility
Internal Work Environment – Does a healthy, productive workplace exist (ie. work/life values, collectivism, collaboration, flexibility, responsiveness, transparency, social and environmental responsibility, ethics)
Environmental Practice – what is the company’s commitment to optimize its impact on water, energy, architecture, landscape, conservation, and community, design
Product and Services – how does it reflect the Multiple Bottom Line strategy

Group processes and interactions operate out of values that harness optimal flow and energy
The business organizes itself to interact with the community at a high level of integrity to have greater impact on multiple bottom lines
