Mission: Through OVB, we plan to offer sustainable development consulting, incubation and implementation services focusing on non-affluent regions of the world.

Theme: What guides OVB is the idea that we can do well and do good. This is based on a belief that our economic, social and ecological sustainability is tied to our ability to create a sense of fulfillment and well being in the communities where we live, work and play. It also considers the increasingly interwoven realities of our cyber and physical existences. As the necessity of social and ecological consciousness becomes more obvious - through the help of both science and common sense - it will make more business sense to invest in the design of built environments and overlapping products and services that enhance and unleash the human potential to create, connect, communicate and collaborate.

Objective: Design and plan human systems that enable the congregation of materials, software and consulting services to help people and organizations do what they do today more effectively and sustainability.

Relationship Between OVF and OVB: oneVillage.biz when activated will complement the efforts of its counterpart, the oneVillage Foundation. A portion of OVB's profits will be channeled into OVF, funding NGOs in our program focus areas. OVB will offer integrated consulting services to enhance community infrastructure and capacity building programs for sectors of society typically considered as not for profit and provide incubation services for under-served communities.

Proposed Areas of Business: The integrated approach outlined above may include the future development of new institutions and accompanying values and governance structures listed below:

Socially Conscious Investment Funds - Foster rapid development and growth of emerging markets through investment in information technology, sustainable technologies and human capacity building services.

Business Incubation Services for Sustainable Economic Development - Integrate best practices into a Pattern Language that can applied at the local level via Multi-Purpose Community & Unity Centers. Spearhead the design of innovative sustainable solutions and technologies to address world urgent issues through the development of Eco-Living Modules.
