Our Current Risks & Our Strategies©
Currently, in our Muslim communities,we are facing the following challenges (risks) that need to be responded by appropriate strategies.
| Current Challenges (Risks) | Our Strategies© |
|---|---|
| No open discussion or analysis of risks. Instead, only information-based lectures and events by many Muslim leaders which continues to repeat the same information to the same audience without truly growing the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the communities. | Solutions-driven platforms, with programs and capabilities, dedicated to provide long-term growth to the wholistic aspects of individuals (e.g., intellectual, emotional, and spiritual aspect), and wholistic aspects of the communities (e.g., social, economic, civic, and legal aspect), rather than only information-based knowledge, thereby forming a 21st Century Unified Muslim Society, where everyone will connect and grow with each other. |
| No actual solutions to the root-cause of issues. Instead, only fundraising dinners which is inefficient (e.g., expense more than received donation) and is continuously draining financial resources and distracting focuses of the communities without truly solving the issues themselves. | Solutions-driven platforms, with programs and capabilities, dedicated to provide practical solutions to the communities, thus minimizing the continuous needs to fundraising which do not truly solve the root-cause of issues. |
| No long-term strategy for the social, economic, civic, and legal aspects of growing the communities. Instead, only decisions made by Muslim leaders which are reactive and fragmented. | The International Chamber of Economy© will drive the Muslim Economy through Investment Membership & Shares and Micro-Financing. It will integrate the Muslim Economy with the mainstream North American Economies by fostering trading between Muslim and mainstream communities. It will also extend to the Global Economies through Imports & Exports trading, InshaAllah! The International Chamber of Economy© will also drive Civic Engagement, including “The 21st Century Unified Muslim Society’s Disaster Preparedness & Resiliency© program”. The Civic Engagement Platform for Unity & Justice© will be available for Muslim, Interfaith and North American communities, and then extend to the Global communities, InshaAllah! |
| No clear risk-escalation paths are established. Instead, often decisions made by Muslim leaders are not disclosed, their actions are not accountable, even upon requested. | Governance Framework© establishes Constitution, Charter, Policies, Standards, Processes, Procedures, Guidelines, Performance Metrics, Research & Analytics, Risk Management, Regulatory Compliance & Audits, and Media & Communication; all of which serve to hold leadership accountable for ensuring Ethical Conduct, Accountability, Transparency, Auditability, and Efficiency in the operations and growth of the platforms. |
| No unity among Muslim communities to share resources. Instead, many non-profit organizations providing similar services or products yet competing the same well of resources through fundraising events, which only deplete the well overtime. | The International Chamber of Economy©, a for-profit business entity, which funds, owns, and operates all solutions-driven platforms. The for-profit nature minimizes unnecessary fundraising which only depletes the resources and distracts the focuses of the communities overtime. The International Chamber of Economy© provides opportunities for many for-profit and non-profit organizations to share resources and solutions from the International Chamber of Economy©, thus minimize overhead expenses in these organizations. This collaboration of sharing resources and solutions from the International Chamber of Economy© will occur in Muslim, Interfaith and North American communities, and then extend to the Global communities, InshaAllah! |
At present, our civic, social, business and political leaders and the Muslim leaders/scholars do not have the capabilities to reconcile with the practical needs of our current challenges (risks) as summarized above.
Without an appropriate Governance Framework©, Infrastructure (e.g., Secure Cloud), Solutions-driven platforms©, and Strategies© to re-build social and economic systems for a 21st Century Unified Muslim Society, we will continue to face our challenges being managed inefficiently and inaccurately.
Under the creation and leadership of Syed Rizwan Ashraf, our Strategies© include:
- Governance Framework© to hold leadership accountable for ensuring Ethical Conduct, Accountability, Transparency, Auditability, and Efficiency in the operations and growth of the platforms.
- Solutions-driven platforms©, with programs and capabilities, dedicated to provide long-term growth to the communities.
- A for-profit model, The International Chamber of Economy©, which funds, owns, and operates all solutions-driven platforms, minimizes unnecessary fundraising which only continuously drain resources and distracts focuses of the communities without truly solving the root-cause of issues.
- The International Chamber of Economy© will drive the Muslim Economy and Civic Engagement, by sharing resources and solutions from the International Chamber of Economy© among for-profit and non-profit organizations (thereby minimizes overhead expenses and maximizes meeting goals in these organizations).
- This collaboration of sharing resources and solutions from the International Chamber of Economy© will occur in Muslim, Interfaith and North American communities, and then extend to the Global communities, InshaAllah!
