About
Impact A.I.
WhiteBox brings together subject-matter experts, engineers and academia to research and develop artificial intelligence (A.I.) tools and frameworks for sustainability impact and risk intelligence.
We believe technology and data alone are not silver bullets, but can play a pivotal role in solving the world’s greatest environmental, social and governance challenges.
Research and development has gone into data science, machine learning and data frameworks to construct WhiteBoxes around organisations and stakeholder ecosystems, increasing transparency, accountability and impact intelligence.
The programme continues today as a think tank. It explores the whitebox, a volume of space and time around a project, a company or a community that holds the social, environmental, governance and financial impact and risk within it, built first from the people affected and then from data and deep learning, and it hands what works to Druid OS, the operating system that runs the idea on land.
4 stakeholder pillars
Four stakeholder pillars
WhiteBox is built as a tool to help address the complexities of multi-stakeholder ecosystems that span the four stakeholder dimensions of government, environment, society and finance. Read each dimension in detail.
What we found
Identifying, reducing and mitigating certain risks will improve the positive impact of projects and investments.
Maximising positive impact will in turn reduce and mitigate certain risks significantly.
Doing 1 and 2 creates a virtuous cycle that creates trust and fosters partnership, which are critical to successful projects and investments that span multiple stakeholder groups.
A golden age in data science coupled with recent strides in artificial intelligence (machine learning and more) makes for strong building blocks to construct robust stakeholder frameworks for exponentially better impact and risk intelligence.
Therefore: WhiteBox is a continuous amalgamation of both tried-and-true practices and innovative technologies that go a long way in fostering a virtuous cycle of value protection and creation, trust and ultimately partnership in stakeholder ecosystems around the world.
