What do gender equality in Morocco and anti-corruption watchdogs in Poland have in common? They are direct contributors to the Sustainable Economic Development Assessment, or SEDA. This index goes beyond measuring the monetary quantifiables of GDP and looks at how governments use their money. The outcomes, which measure success by values like public safety, clean water and access to education, might surprise you.
Watch expert Douglas Beal’s TED@BCG talk on SEDA here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuInKItBSLY
TED@BCG was a TED-curated event featuring a diverse group of speakers from across the BCG community. Jointly produced by TED and BCG, the event put a spotlight on ideas, projects and insights that will contribute to the pursuit of growing ever onward and upward.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
