Welcome to the Global Campaign  for

Generative/Compassion

 

We’re taking compassion, one of the oldest virtues, and turning it into a modern generative force with a language, vision and strategy that’s moving leaders, organizations and society into new horizons. It’s today’s paradigm shift to a more equitable world where inclusivity, trust and authenticity have become the unmissable building blocks of success, and where answering humanity’s pressing calls for uplifting the most vulnerable is a defining force in the decisions of employees, investors and stakeholders.

Join us on our journey through this new frontier.

From waves of opioid overdoses and an epidemic of isolation in our cities to famine in war-torn regions and climate-fueled wildfires in our global lungs, the evidence is overwhelming. The healing hand of compassion, one of the oldest virtues, is bruised, if not broken. We need a better model for managing our compassion aspirations and a new way of reimagining how it can meet the unrelenting expectations of our common humanity. We’ re leading the way.  

For 20 years, the predecessor advocacies of Generative/Compassion have worked to protect the forgotten and heal the most vulnerable. Now we’re working to unlock the promise of generative compassion and put new thinking, better systems and faster mitigation measures into our workplaces, boardrooms, health-care providers, communities, public institutions and our planet.

Animating our aspirations is the goal to turn leaders and organizations into transformative champions of compassion, and everyone into advocates for the virtues of sustainability, resilience and healing that will make that happen.

Compassion is the portal of trust and authenticity for today’s most admired organizations. The reason is clear: when people, organizations and leaders begin to reimagine the power of compassion, they can change lives. And the world.

Please explore more on this site and learn how we can make that happen together.

OF GENERATIVE COMPASSION 

 

O ON GENERATIVE COMPASSION CONTACT US C S 0 N S M I P O A THE ANCIENT VIRTUE THAT NEEDS A 21ST CENTURY FACELIFT COMPASSION FOR THE 21st CENTURY Compassion is one of the oldest healing virtues. It has been around for millennia. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't change with the times. In fact, it is one of the most underused assets in most organizations today, too often hobbled in its efficiency, blunted in its performance and frozen in a sea of old ideas and precepts. Generative/Compassion is working to change that, turning old-style compassion into a model of innovation for the 21st century. We're breaking down barriers and opening up bold vistas when it comes to the delivery of compassion that will actually change lives for the better, and, we hope, save our planet, too. It's long past the time when compassion needed to be brought into line with modern organizational practices. Read on to learn about some of the areas where Generative/Compassion is fuelling change that can help make that happen.

But when it comes to dealing with patient complaints, medical errors and even the treatment of health-care professionals themselves, compassion is often missing from the room. Too often, an adversarial culture takes over when a trauma-informed approach is called for. Rx compassion is something health care needs to embrace on a system-wide basis, with leadership from the top. With our background in patient- and family-centred advocacy, reducing burnout among health-care professionals and delivering initiatives like Canada's new 988 suicide prevention lifeline, Generative/Compassion is uniquely positioned to bring unmatched innovation to health-care providers in a way that unlocks the power of compassion to effect better outcomes everywhere.

A PRIORITY IN THE
BOARDROOM In the world of business, trust and authenticity have never been more important as key determinants of investor, employee and customer support. Yet polls show that around the world, most think capitalism does more harm than good, and trust in corporate leadership is in short supply. Compassion has long been recognized for its trust-building attributes, as well as its capacity to foster healing and avoid unintended harms. But it is often the missing voice in the functioning of CEO leadership, in advancing strategic narratives and in showcasing ESG performance. Generative/Compassion works with major corporations and global brands to improve lives, promote workplace well-being and reinforce the support of key stakeholders. We also provide the first-in-the-world compassion-based crisis management counsel to prevent crisis and manage its occurrences. Hover over slide to pause and read UNIVERSITIES GETTING OUT
ON
THE FIELD Universities are confronted by the demands of large, diverse populations who often face mental health challenges because of new experiences with stress, deadlines and isolation from family. Combating gender violence and sexual harassment continues to be a pressing challenge. Risk of suicide is higher among this cohort that in the larger population. But polls continue to show many students feel unsafe and unsupported in these academic settings. Generative/Compassion has been working to develop more robust and innovative compassion tools that address the needs of students across campuses in Canada, the US and Europe by creating safer, more caring spaces in these future-shaping years. Hover over slide to pause and read CITIES COMPASSION FOR
THE MOST VULNERABLE Municipalities today are overwhelmed by the needs of people who are marginalized and vulnerable. Social isolation and loneliness have reached epidemic levels. Opioid overdoses, homelessness and food insecurity are rampant in too many cities, big and small. Yet the approach municipal governments have taken to delivering compassion typically lacks system structure, leadership focus and true accountability. In the pressure of sub-optimal organization, innovation rarely surfaces for air. It has been said that our big cities need the equivalent of a Marshall Plan to tackle the needs of their most at-risk constituencies. Generative/Compassion believes that a more targeted and better structured compassion agenda is a big part of answering the critical needs of our urban centres.

BUILDING TRUST WITH
COMPASSION In government, where the duty to protect citizens is paramount, the absence of compassion guardrails frequently leads to misguided policy decisions that leave too many at risk of serious emotional distress and worse. Yet the requirement of a formal compassion checklist to precede the approval of major decisions or new programs is virtually non-existent. Generative compassion is no longer an option for lawmakers. It is an essential pillar in sound governance. Generative/Compassion builds on the work of its advocacy clinics over 20 years -- work that has produced important policy initiatives, such as the campaign to bring new suicide prevention technology to Canada, support for a liveable basic annual income and elimination of the abuse of non-disclosure agreements worldwide.

WITH COMPASSION Is it possible to care about one another if we don’t care about the planet? And if we care about the future of the planet, surely that extends to all life that is part of its sacred ecosystem: plants and trees, fish, flowers and birds, animals and humans. This is what we call the virtuous global continuum of compassion. We believe seeing the future of the world, and our own future, together in this way offers a new and more compelling lens through which to view the promise of compassion in the 21st century. Generative/Compassion is unwavering in advancing that message in boardrooms, workplaces and communities, and in public institutions around the corner and across the globe.

TO GENERATIVE COMPASSION Meeting the compassion needs of the planet and its inhabitants is truly a global challenge. It is one that calls for the creation of bold ideas and imaginative approaches to delivering compassion, mitigating avoidable institutional harms and envisioning a future that animates with definable resilience and sustainability. This is generative compassion. Through the Global Campaign for Generative Compassion, we’re working to build networks of compassion-sensitive NGOs, social enterprises and post-Millennial generations distinguished by altruistic aspirations to answer that call. Many organizations, change champions and advocates are already working hard to advance the ideals of compassion. How much more could we do if we came together in the spirit of truly generative compassion?
