Michael Green Speaking Topics

  • Make Better Investment Decisions Using the SPI Index

    Amid so much uncertainty, banks, financial services firms, venture capitalists, governments and NGOs need more exact measurements for deciding where to invest, both domestically and abroad. Each year, global economist Michael Green and his team at the Social Progress Imperative release their Social Progress Index (SPI) report, which details how industries and countries are faring in every area of progress. Their carefully culled data shows where the most stable and prosperous societies of tomorrow will be and where instability, inequities and environmental degradation will take a toll. Using tools like their “skills map,” which links specific skills to progress, Green shows participants how to use the Index to make decisions around investments, policies and where and what kinds of philanthropic efforts are likely to pay off.

  • Sustaining the Future: Growth Beyond 2020

    Even before the pandemic, the annual Social Progress Index (SPI) – published by global economist Michael Green and his team at the Social Progress Imperative – helped leaders make more informed decisions around policies, investments, and where they would likely profit in the future. With COVID-19 ushering in a significant new variable, Green’s 2020 SPI report opens up a wider lens on what the future of work and life will look like across the globe and what businesses need to do to sustain and grow while preserving necessary resources. In this presentation, Green highlights the revised view of the future and shows organizations how they can best shift in response to the new economy.

  • How to Grow and Be Good

    There is often an unfortunate assumption that a society’s economic growth must come at the expense of the environment and social equality. To get rich, we have to give up some of our happiness, the argument goes. Michael Green says the facts do not validate this conclusion. Indeed, material prosperity and sustainability, inclusiveness and social justice typically go hand-in-hand, and societies that sacrifice these latter values for GDP growth are fostering long-term instability that will ultimately threaten their wealth and well-being. In this presentation, Green provides an overview of his methodology for measuring real progress in an economy. He further offers tools and solutions for changing one’s perspective about prosperity and implementing an inclusive growth strategy. Ultimately, Green aims to inform the audience on the best ways to ensure inclusive, sustainable economic or business growth in a world that often feels it is hopelessly divided and endangered.
