House design and strategy...the 4W!
What
House of Sancti is a
SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURIAL BOUTIQUE FIRM.
Let's break down the definition so that you will know what House of Sancti is, why this particular type of entrepreneurial firm intends to establish itself around the world, and where those who build this chain of boutique firms will actualize its expansive sustainable projects portfolio that will benefit everyone, one way or another, everywhere:
Social Entrepreneurship
is hereby defined as
the practice of using traditional entrepreneurial skills to solve contemporary social problems, as well as solving minor problems that may cause any future snowball effect uneccessary suffering, particularly human physical/mental health issues.
Boutique Firm
is hereby defined as
small, spezialized business with a focus on a niche market and/or offering highly tailored services. Number of staff members are generally small, and thereby able to provide a more personlized envionment with direct access to leadership, which enables a good match in collaboration with larger companies, organizations, and government as the boutique firm brings very little bureaucracy to the negotion table; lean structure business operation enables agility and innovation in high quality service delivery.
Concept
- Identifying a social needs locally, nationally, globally.
- Developing and using new business techniques to address the problem(s) in a sustainable way, always focusing on the problem rather than the solution(s) thereof.
- The aim is first and foremost to generate social value in form of human and social capital, though financial sustainability through highly valued intellectual capital that will produce generous financial capital is crucial to the business model's longevity.
Vision
The best way to describe the vision, one must first understand the concept (above), and then learn (below) what House of Sancti is not:
- House is a legal business entity. It is set up as a sole proprietorship in Denmark, where the first house is built. Thereafter, all houses will be set up as LTD, LLC, SAS/SARL depending on the country, where the first house will hold majority 51% ownership. This model prevents anyone from establishing a fraudulent house anywhere. preventing anyone from being defrauded in any way. Because of the traditional set-up House of Sancti is:
- NOT a non-profit organization, nor a public sector (govenmental) entity...BUT: House of Sancti can and will work with both non-profit as well as governments in order to work on mutual visions to achieve common goals.
- NOT non-political/non-religious...BUT: a private business entity that is apolitical and a-religious, thereby remaining neutral when it comes to politics and religion. Many social issues are attached to both political and/or religious issues, thus House is open to everyone as partners no matter political/religious affiliation, as long as there is legal supra-national compliance where the projects are being conducted/completed. The short-version: House of Sancti is not and will never be aligned one particular political view nor one particular religion; the social problems and projects thereof themselves lead which affiliation will be most beneficial.
- NOT affiliated with socialism. There has been a misconception that the social-aspect of the business enitity's definition refers to socialism. The record is set straight here and now: it does not allign with socialism ideology, and could not allign with such due to apolitical status.
Why
Social entrepreneurs usually ask a lot of questions that begin with why. These are the WHY-questions that began the formation of House of Sancti, just like many other humble beginnings of other entrepreneurial firms and social enterprises:
WHY is this (problem X/Y) still a problem in contemporary time and space...?
WHY isn't someone doing something about it..?
House of Sancti is ,therefore, constructed
with the framework of the idea in mind, that problems will not escalate if there is thorough knowledge gathered to create a solution.
Furthermore,
realizing that the person(s) inquiring about why no one else has identified certain social problems, nor aimed at providing a solution once problems were identified, is because the person asking such questions could easily be that person who should be in the business of doing something about it.
After many years of research,
House of Sancti will continue leave the light on, metaphorically speaking, in order to highlight critical problems, while illuminating possible and (must often crucial) solutions, avoiding at all cost what is referred to as streetlight bias.
This is WHY
the firm's project portfolio continues to grow, and how the House continues to design and build both short-term as well as long-term solutions while staying loyal to its:
Mission
Creating positive social impact through ongoing innovation. As critical social problems are reprioritized constantly, so will the innovations have to adapt...thus, the focus is always on the problem(s) rather than being blinded by solutions that may become obsolete due to new problems. It is a contant innovation-in-motion in order to provide you wellness in every possible way.
Success in the House of Sancti is when we all succeed...no one left behind on the path of progress. The measurement of such success is by the positive social impact that will not create negative social impact elsewhere, alongside any self-sustainable financial metrics that will provide an exit strategy once the social gap is closed.
Where
Choosing future House of Sancti locations is a project in itself, as location must be matched to a region where it is feasible to register a legal business entity.
As House of Sancti is defined as an international boutique firm, it must remain in that business sphere, bringing fluidity to House expansion in small units and flow to the boutique office locations.
It will, therefore,
never become a global company in size, nor in attitude, because
many projects- though intertwined- focus on national issues/national social norms. The boutique units will over time spread all over the world, and according to a model in which several locations will work vis-a-vis on inter-nationally intertwined social problems in small but focused groups, where all staff are stakeholders thus leadership wotking with collaboration partners and sub-contrators.
The decision(s) are based,
after heavily researching the areas, on gathered information while using RATT theory (Rational, Atypical Thoughts and Theories) to conduct PESTEL analysis (Political, Economic, Sociological, Technological, Legal, Environmental).
As the realms of the PESTEL
areas change more rapidly in current time in all geographical spaces and societies thereof, the analysis shifts location priority in order to optimize successful project completion.
However,
House of Sancti will re-open by registering a legal business entitity in the United Kingdom now that the UK company law ahs been changed by implementing improvements to the 2024 Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act.
The firm had to close its doors in London primarily because another business conducted their business under House of Sancti's business registration, under the same categorization.
The firm will also open up in France, as Paris and Lyon have been matched to be the best locations for three major undisclosed projects.
Who
Statement from the Founder/Director of House of Sancti and Principal architect of the regenerative design projects in the boutique firm's portfolio:
"I've been part of the medical community for decades, while having obtained additional education in mental health during a later phase, taking a special interest in social epidemiology, and the dissemination of information thereof on a local, national, and most importantly:
Inter-national level.
As the world changes, the human mind must adapt and transform in order to match actions that are in harmony with the change of times that changes the world. As a Regenerative Social Designer and a norm entrepreneur, the focus is constantly on the social and behavioral sciences to find solutions that aid in optimaizing human health through social justice, and the change of social constructivism. This requires constant learning in untraditional ways and by relying on those not afraid to challenge the status quo.
My career path has been far from what is considered 'traditional', toggling between professional life, several rounds of academia to keep up with the changing technology that allow us who dare to dive even deeper into the depths of science; the choice to continue to learn for altruistic reasons has lead to the building of this House where inclusion is the primary protocol, and enthusiasm for the planet and all living forms on it really is the only job skill requirement we're looking for.
All academic skills are, therefore, secondary- as 'book smarts' often get in the way of creativity and critical thinking- a must in our field and vital for projects thereof.
Last, but not least, the professional 'dresscode' for anyone wanting to join any of the projects is a combination of casual kindenss and respect (and that combo always looks fabulous on everyone who dares to wear it as their professional attitude), as well as any other diversity that you may bring will add to creating a realm in space and time where House projects can be developed with encouragement and professional mentoring from 'co-housers' of all professional levels- expert and novice alike- so that the fruits of the innovation labor can be enjoyed to the fullest once the projects are fully developed.
Upon reading this I hope that you have realized that this WHO section is not about me, but more about you who want to align with the House values, you who want to see a better future, not afraid to help build what you wish to see created."
