  To help create and sustain large positive change and a thriving future, the overall Thrive! vision, mission and strategy has the following elements:

• Thrive! - The call to action for building and sustaining a thriving future for people, key issues, and communities, nations and world. ThrivingFuture.org   ThriveBlog.org

• Thriving Future - Using viaFuture to build and sustain a thriving future for a population, a specific or cross-cutting issue. ThrivingFuture.org  

• viaFuture - Vision for creating and sustaining change and a thriving future coupled with necessary ability (next generation strategy/models/tools) and motivation. viaFuture.org  

• Vulnerable - Vulnerable in America and World (via) - Using viaFuture for a population, e.g., minimize vulnerability and maximize thriving. VulnerableInAmerica.org

• HealthePeople [Building a Healthy and Thriving Future] - Using viaFuture for an issue, e.g., build a healthy community, America and/or world.     HealthePeople.com [BuildingaHealthyAmerica.org]

viaFuture - Mission and Support.

  Many, like you and your organization, are trying to create and sustain large positive change.
viaFuture helps organizations, collaborations and governments like yours build a better future.

  Why viaFuture?  Unfortunately, most current strategy, policy and management models are too limited for today’s problems and  inadequate for succeeding with a more challenging future.

   "Next generation" strategy, policy and management models are designed for a future that is at high risk, has threats to its sustainability, is large and broad of scope, is complex, is highly interactive and interdependent, will depend heavily on what people do, and will change with or without us.

  To create and sustain large positive change,  viaFuture has needed next generation strategy/ models/tools. viaFuture Strategy

  viaFuture,working with you, can help create and sustain positive strategic change as the path to fix problems and create and sustain a thriving future for communities, states, and nations.

   To discuss potential support, please contact Gary Christopherson via email or phone.

Vulnerable in America (via)

GChris Sculpture

   In America and in the World, we are all vulnerable to a greater or less extent.  We need to minimize vulnerability via policies and politics that systematically stop forces that push us down to more vulnerability and support forces that lift us out of vulnerability. 

   “Vulnerable in America and World (via)” is a potential national strategy to minimize vulnerability.   

   “Vulnerable (via)” is what we are targeting to change.  “via”, defined as by way or means of, is how we bring about the change.  We want to move toward the vision of a thriving America and world and the endgame strategy for achieving that vision.

  To help make this happen, we draw upon lessons learned over the past 30+ years among the Federal Executive and Legislative branches, local government, and private sector organizations to create more effective and integrated programs and policies for reducing vulnerability and to successfully manage these programs and policies. 

   HealthePeople [Building a Healthy and Thriving Future] is the vision of better health for all and a collaborative strategy to transform to affordable, person-centered, outcomes-driven, and "e" enabled health systems that help achieve better health.

   Succeeding with HealthePeople across all healthcare will positively transform health care.  We can use our nation’s valuable health resources effectively and achieve healthier Americans and a healthy America and reach further to achieve a healthy world. 

  To help make this happen, we draw upon lessons learned over the past 30 years among the Federal Executive and Legislative branches, local government, and private sector organizations to create more effective and integrated programs and policies for improving health and to successfully manage these programs and policies.

GChris abstract sculptures are heavily mission-driven. Advanced by the art are core progressive values - reducing human vulnerability, maximizing health and well-being, maximizing human potential, saving our environment, and living at "peace on and with the earth." Progressive art is art with a purpose and artist as advocate. "Art as advocacy; advocacy as art."

  Existing GChris sculptures may be purchased and number over 100 pieces with dimensions ranging from a few inches to 12 feet and larger.  Works of all sizes, even larger works, can be commissioned.
