Jordan Ostapchuk spoke at the RFK Compass Summer Investors Conference on June 10–13, 2024. In his talk, Jordan argued that capital is one of the most transformational forces of our times. The movement of capital is a powerful force that shapes economies, societies, and physical environments, both directly and indirectly, visibly and invisibly. Based on his doctoral studies at the Institute of Design (ID), Illinois Institute of Technology, he presented Capital Design as a pioneering new field that leverages powerful design capabilities like foresight, abduction, and synthesis to help investors navigate uncertainty, understand systemic risks, and reframe portfolio construction strategies. Because institutional investors have a unique opportunity to play a role in confronting our most pressing human rights challenges, Capital Design can help identify blind spots and biases in capital allocation processes to create value beyond mere financial returns, building inclusive and resilient economies.   The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights work to ensure business and investments align with human rights norms by convening, educating, and mobilizing a global network of investors—who collectively control $7 trillion in assets under management—and corporations to address inequality as a systemic risk in order to build a more just, inclusive, and equitable economy and society for the future.   Learn more about the 2024 RFK Compass Summer Investors Conference here: https://lnkd.in/dwdk4-XE   Learn more about Jordan Ostapchuk and Capital Design here: https://lnkd.in/d3McDVnk   #CapitalDesign #RFKCompass #RFKhumanrights #impactinvestment
