“ To find people who I hope to become and surround myself with them, while also finding myself in the process.” Jay R., CANADA It is planned that Leaders Expedition TM (LEx TM ) will be the ead office and operational nexus of the LEx eco-system, where the bulk of the support elements – and accompanying revenue streams – will reside. While our focus as an almost exclusively volunteer operation has been the development and testing of the model - including member recruitment - which thus far has not been revenue generating, we believe that there are substantive revenue generating opportunities that would mean the entity should be revenue neutral within three years. The development of a meaningful revenue plan has been deemed to be beyond our current unfunded capability. Having said that, we have been working to a five-year pathway (see Appendix C) based on the assumption that by that time we would have a minimum of 350,000 members. The following comprise the current and planned activities of Leaders Expedition TM (LEx TM ): The LExHUB: Our Community Platform The community we are building will be substantively defined by the platform on which it is founded. To date, we have built our existing community using a virtually free platform called MightyNetworks, which has proven to be insufficient to our needs. Accordingly, in March 2019 we subscribed to the Washington DC-based HigherLogic SaaS (software as a service) platform believing it to be the most robust, flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solution for our purpose – a proven offering with over 3,000 non-profit/association clients and 50 + million users in 21 countries. Being implemented in phases over the summer of 2019, by the Fall, the platform – importantly including powerful gamification and marketing automation capabilities - will support the initiatives and operations of all three legal entities with the following high-level features: • LocalCircle/Project management • GlobalCircle/Mission management • Special Initiatives (SI) management • Project/Mission/SI Ideation • Member professional profiles • Mentor Match • Talent Board • Bookstore • Merchandise sales • Events management • LEx Academe • LEx Museum of Leadership • Mobile app • Gamification • Marketing automation • Member management Leaders Expedition TM (LEx TM ) ©2019 11
“ Educating diverse learners to contribute to a more equitable society.” Leanne H., AUSTRALIA The LExHUB needs to be perceived as the IT platform that will enable the LEx eco-system to be an incubator and accelerator of the LEx community and of the next generation of leader-creators, designed to promote massive, iterative experimentation and most importantly, learning. Only this way can we hope to connect, empower and mobilize the community and resources necessary to seize our moonshot objective. LEx LocalCircles LEx LocalCircles (LCs) and the Projects that they will sponsor, are the frontline impact agents of Leaders Expedition. The LEx LC is a self-forming and self-governing group of up to 12 individuals who represent the diversity of their community. Its members combine the proven benefits of business peer support networks with LExHub tools to activate personal and enterprise growth and to develop and manage the Projects that will both grow and empower the LEx community AND transform leadership culture where they live. Qualified Projects are intended to be liable for funding support from either or both LEx Learning and/or LEx Leadership Accelerator Funds – a critical differentiator, and success factor for Leaders Expedition (see discussion on LEx Leadership Accelerator Funds).
