The digital innovation, based on the algorithm of artificial intelligence, that the social network Vkontakte has recently introduced, has its own symbolic name "Prometheus". Vkontakte, similar to Prometheus from Greek myths, gives people an opportunity to fulfill their dreams, to be heard and seen. "Prometheus" represents a "fire" mark that the users of the social network can see near the "community" title or names of people who create unique and interesting content. However, what we cannot see is the artificial intelligence based on machine-learning techniques and neural networks which selects who will get that "fire" mark. "Prometheus" is aimed at finding and supporting interesting authors and "communities". It helps creative people to attract new subscribers, get the most out of the platform and learn how to deal with VK tools. We believe that this innovation can help to solve the 8th (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and 9th (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) Sustainable Development Goals. Firstly, "Prometheus" is a vivid example of the technological digital innovation. Secondly, it gives creators an opportunity to find like-minded people, consumers and eventually make a living by doing what they love and enjoy.

While scrolling on Facebook, Bombas co-founder and CEO David Heath learned that socks are the most requested clothing item at homeless shelters, and hence identified sock shortages as a problem that needed a resolution. In 2011, they decided to create a sock company that would help alleviate the sock shortages occurring at homeless shelters by donating a pair to those in need, with each pair purchased, which required them to create a profitable, yet scalable model. The aforementioned model required manufacturing a product that has high demand, and with two years of research and development, Bombas finalized improvements to their standard sock: from the toe seam and elements used, to the arch support, to the way the sock is worn and washed; every aspect was considered. Bombas confidently states that they have created the most comfortable socks, period. To date, Bombas continues to research to develop in pursuit of even better products. Their efforts have led them to donate more than eight million pairs of socks to those in need.
MPOWERD won an AIM2Flourish prize in 2017 to recognize their partnership with two non-profits: New Course and Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust. In addition to working with non-profits to provide solar inflatable lights to users in need of a reliable and safe light source, MPOWERD has also expanded their distribution channels in the U.S. to large retailers like Walmart.
To assist MPOWERD in further scaling their impact outside the U.S., we researched innovative competitor products like a gravity powered light, and emerging trends like pay-as-you-go mobile payments. We also identified opportunities to further align MPOWERD's business operations with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) targets and summarized several connectedness practices, which we learned about and experienced in our Quantum Leadership course, that could benefit MPOWERD's work place. These practices include both sense-making (e.g., journaling) and presence-making (e.g., meditation) practices.
