TIIP has begun to develop the Systems Aware Investing Launchpad (SAIL), a “one-stop shop” for answers to fundamental questions about system-level investing and for practical system-level investing implementation support and tools. SAIL is comprised of two unique components: a plug-and-play solution investors can use to chart their course to become a system-level investor and a community of practice aimed at driving broader industry transformation.

Launchpad is a first-of-its-kind, web-based, plug-and-play solution that guides investors in launching or refining their system-level investing approaches. It equips investors with the knowledge and tools to prepare to adopt system-level investing, position themselves to influence change, and pursue any number of activities to bring that change to fruition. SAIL’s Launchpad offers a framework for investors to decide which facet(s) of systemic issues to focus on and which tactics and strategies to deploy.
To do this, Launchpad outlines a 6-step process for investors to engage in system-level investing and shows them how to integrate system-level investing into conventional activities like RFPs, Statements of Investment Beliefs, targeted investment programs, shareholder engagement activities, and manager due diligence. SAIL also guides investors on how to leverage advanced techniques specifically designed to achieve influence at a system-level and that stress collaborative action, building shared knowledge bases, setting industry standards, calling attention to public policy debates about governmental rules and regulations, and creating a rising tide of investment opportunities for all investors. |
