Our Global Agenda

Gold Mercury's global research agenda is centred on the theme of transforming Global Governance and improving sustainability through Visionary Leadership. The scope of our activities has grown to include our growing network, collaborative Global Governance projects, key knowledge transfer activities and a closer alignment with the work of our vision consultancy unit, Corporate Vision Strategists.

Research Areas & Projects

This period of reorganization has been vital to ensure that our international program of activities reflects and supports the global themes of our research agenda. Our vision of Global Sustainability through Visionary Leadership remains central to all research initiatives and programme activities. Within this agenda, key project and study areas include:

Ethical Dynamics™ - Our practical study of ethics and Anticipatory Governance for the 21st century. We aim to redefine ethics within the context of globalisation and sustainability.

Glogonet™ - Structured around the eight areas of our Global Governance Model™, with experts in each field, our Global Governance Network (Glogonet™) monitors how the world works, the global challenges we face and the future of the global sustainability agenda. Our eight Global Governance Challenge Areas are Global Peace & Security, Global Economic & Social policy, Global Environment, Global Resources, Global Health, Global Science & Technology, Global Culture and International Law & Humanitarian Affairs. Glogonet™ offers open source style opportunities for project collaboration and fast ad-hoc coalitions: Bottom-up and top-down innovation: local, national, regional, global.

Corporate Vision® - From managing complexity and navigating uncertainty to sustainable business model innovation and corporate philosophy, Gold Mercury's Corporate Vision® tools are designed to supplement and train leaders on the corporate visioning and strategy process of any organisation or institution.

Glogo™ - The effects of globalisation are both local and global but the sustainability agenda for the 21st century cuts across this global divide. There is a need for a system to understand governance to mitigate the sustainability agenda. Glogo is the first system of its kind to evaluate the complex interplay between governance (decision-making) and sustainability (planetary survival).

Identity and Global Citizenship - From an individual and local community perspective to the regional and ultimately global perspective, there is a reciprocal failure in the ability of existing systems of governance to identify with citizens of all nations. A global order with characteristics of a multilateral cosmopolitan order has an increasingly significant role to play.

Gold Mercury Visionary Leadership Awards - The prestigious Gold Mercury Awards for Visionary Leadership are granted to leaders in the international system who work towards identifying sustainable solutions to global problems in our eight global governance challenge areas: Global Peace & Security, Global Economic & Social Policy, Global Environment, Global Resources, Global Health, Global Science & Technology, International Law & Humanitarian Affairs and Global Culture. Also granted are our Gold Mercury Corporate Governance awards that recognise the contribution of a company to society at large. Our laureates are among the most recognised and respected figures, institutions and organisations in the world.

Global Governance and Corporate Vision® Forums - Gold Mercury organises Global Governance and Corporate Vision® Forums in conjunction with its vision consultancy unit, Corporate Vision Strategists, in order to create a high-level networking platform that facilitates the sharing of information and offers a forum for the exchange of views on some of the most important Global Governance, business and sustainability issues of the day. Our forums vary in size. We have organized 3 day forums of over 2000 attendees from over 100 countries and also smaller 1 day forums of no more than 100 people. Using the power of our Global Governance Network (Glogonet™), our forums operate in an open collaborative community model forming powerful alliances and partnerships with the most innovative organisations and visionary leaders across the globe.

Ethical Dynamics™ Series

Gold Mercury's Ethical Dynamics™ Series aims to transform governance policy and practices to achieve greater accountability. The series offers a practical study of ethics and anticipatory governance for the 21st century. In our search for new ethical frameworks for global sustainability there is a need to create a new global conscience based not on the past but the future. Ethical Dynamics™ aims to achieve this by framing a new understanding of governance for the future. The series explores the current state of reality, the way personal values are framed in the context of globalization and clarifies people's role in sustainable Global Governance.

Some titles in this series include:

  • Yes I can: The new way of doing politics
  • From Cosmic Reality to Reality on Earth
  • Governance Impact Chain™
  • A Brief History of Ethics
  • Hunting for Paradigms
  • Corporate Vision¨ and Anticipatory Governance.

Glogonet™ - Global Briefing Series

Gold Mercury's Global Briefing Series is designed to offer an informative and invaluable insight into how our world works. The series is structured around the eight areas of our Global Governance Model™ and of its corresponding subareas. In each area we address where major policy discussion emanates from, who the key actors are, what developments and challenges we can expect the future to present and which actors are making a considerable contribution to finding global solutions to global challenges.

Some titles include:

  • International Law & Humanitarian Affairs
  • Global Health
  • Global Science & Technology
