The Networks of Capabilities meetings focus on increasing businesspeople’s Sales, Design, and Leadership Capabilities so that they can build IR#4 Networks of Capabilities (NWC) and fulfill their financial, career, and business intentions.

This is Part #6 of The Aji Source Fundamental Strategy. It is a strategic focus and “Source of Power” businesspeople use to double their productivity, value and income.

IR#4’s NWC are a new strategic and competitive practice that is made possible by the existence of computers and the internet.

They are twice as competitive as IR#3’s Networks of Convenience.

“Money” is the capacity to transact or offers people want badly enough to accept by paying the purchase price and accepting delivery. That’s all.

Money is not currency.

Currency is a substitute for money people or societies invent to increase marketplace efficiency, or to lower the costs of transacting.

Currency is used to enable transactions to occur when one person in a transaction has nothing the other person wants.

To the extent ambitious businesspeople confuse the artifact of currency with the human phenomenon of money,

… they cannot think and act effectively, or on purpose, to “make money”.

The only way to “make money” when people confuse the phenomenon with currency is to buy a printing press, which is illegal.

Unless ambitious businesspeople understand deeply that money is any capacity to transact — offers of help, practices, narratives and strategies — they cannot “make” it.

The fundamental and common forms of money are:

Gift giving

… such as fishermen giving fish or rides to people who help them repair their nets

Exchanging favors

… implies someone “values” favors enough to transact for them

… such as, “I’ll help you build your house if you’ll help me build mine later”.

Barter

… is exchanging one good or service for another

… such as, “I’ll give you one fish in exchange for two ears of corn.”

Trade

… is a circuit of at least three nodes for exchanging goods and services for other goods and services,

… such as a trader who travels to at least three different cities or ports exchanging goods and services he gets in one location at another.

Transactions using currency

… is exchanging a good or service for currency.

Please join us to build your competitive capabilities thinking and acting with the five fundamental forms of money.

In the meeting we will review the description, meanings, relevance, value and purposes of each of the five forms of money so that you can use them practically and pragmatically to build your Networks of Capabilities, increase your autonomies, produce highly valued accomplishments, establish identities of superior trustworthiness, value, authority, leadership and dignity, hold highly compensated leadership roles, build powerful business organizations and anticipate future threats, obligations and opportunities.

We will break into groups where you can learn, practice and use these distinctions to invent and design your offers, practices, narratives and strategies to fulfill your business mission and personal ambitions.

Invite people who share your purpose to earn a living or become rich to take care of your families.

Designing Top 1% Business Narratives

The 10 Components of the Exposition

Tuesday, June 16 2026 | 9:00 – 11:00 am PT | via Zoom

The Networks of Capabilities meetings focus on increasing businesspeople’s Sales, Design, and Leadership Capabilities so that they can build IR#4 Networks of Capabilities (NWC) and fulfill their financial, career, and business intentions.

This is Part #6 of The Aji Source Fundamental Strategy. It is a strategic focus and “Source of Power” businesspeople use to double their productivity, value and income.

IR#4’s NWC are a new strategic and competitive practice that is made possible by the existence of computers and the internet.

They are twice as competitive as IR#3’s Networks of Convenience.

Knowing how to design Business Narratives is the senior, or most powerful, practice when working in a rapidly changing, intensely competitive, increasingly complex and technologically advanced global marketplace.

It enables businesspeople to constitute interpretations, commitments and actions to fulfill their financial, career and business intentions.

It makes it possible to produce transactions needed to make money.

It increases competitive capabilities and advantages, productivity, value and incomes.

Knowing how to design Business Narratives so that they are effective, tactical, strategic and competitive in IR#4

… is required to double productivity, value and income.

To design a Business Narrative that is “effective”, or that produces outcomes that fulfill businesspeople’s intentions, which is necessary before it can be tactical, strategic and competitive, it must be complete.

It cannot be missing any of its parts, or commitments.

In this meeting we will:

Revisit the 5 parts of every business narrative that make it complete; the exposition, conflict, rising action, resolution and denouement

Discuss the 10 fundamental components of the exposition that make it complete

Speak the fundamental descriptions, meanings, relevance, value and purposes of each component

We will then break into groups to discuss these questions:

1. What are the 10 components of the exposition for your most valuable offer?

How can you use them to produce competitive advantages for your customers and yourself?

2. What is the DMRVP of the components of the exposition that are missing, weak, flawed or incomplete for your Listener?

How can you speak so your Listener quickly accepts and is willing to pay a premium for your offers, practices, narratives and strategies?

3. What new strategic and competitive conversations about designing effective business narratives, and doubling your productivity, value and income, can you now have with your colleagues, employees, employers, vendors and customers?

Invite people who share your purpose to earn a living or become rich to take care of your families.
