In other words, all of our media now needs to value the leadership heroes and working heroines of Bangladeshi microcredit now more than ever.

- ial revolution - behaviours to value multipy were identified as that of Entrepreneurial Revolution and the vision to connect through every global village was that of sustaining a net generation in which worldwide youth could be grow exponentially more productive. The Japanese in particular demonstrated great gameplays (progressing system thinking of americans like Deming, Drucker, and Borlaug) in the quality leadership of sectors they traded around a borderless world and through which Asian Pacific worldwide collaboration Century 1975-2075 was planted There were 2 core dynamics of post-industrial revolution 1 knowledge networking can be designed to multiply value (interpersonal productivity) in use unlike the industrial revolution's consuming up of things -when you look at how berners lee launched the web the opportunity to evolve this way was huge- discuss which industry sectors (by different emispheres) tried to free this value multiplier and who tried to destroy it? in particular is there any subnetwork of MBAs that you can find that truly lived up to berners lee's vision 2 the macroeconomic view of externalisation needed to be banished as the greatest maths error man had ever made- extrenalisaion happens when deciso0n-makers in one community knowingly profits from a less powerful community by extracting from its future sustainability. This isnt just a moral value. When you expoemtially compound risk onto another community consequences include war, or ecoligal destruction or plague. All of these dynamics spread cancerously across borders- professins that rule as if such flows are separable are perfectly wrong. What's most interesting is how the second phenomeno double loops with the first. The more interconnected we become as the first net generation the faster the risks of exponential destruction from the losers game of extrenalisation. Consequently entreprenurail revolultionaries search out multi-win models that go way above zero-sum thinking. They replace dismale economics of scarcity with joyful economics of abundance Sp take a second lood at how we need to design these double-loop phenomena. We need to celebrat emoore's law not only applying to the capacity of silicon to go micro (doubling every couple of years or so) but death of distance apps where knowledge once coded can be action replicated anywhere that online access is avialable (which thanks to satellite costs not being primarily a cost of disnace can mean every community simultanously) The industrial revolurion's value exchanging infrastructires were sourced in unleashing energy that was hundreds then thousands of times more powerful than man or horse! However extrenalsiation's expoentially rising costs of compounding waste were not fatored in - a teriifting ecom-mistake. However we can innovate plenty of non-carbon soirces of power - solar, wind, ocean power, photosynthesis and even biogas that turns one systems carbon waste output into another system energy input. Back in 1984 economists inspired by over a decade of post-industrial dialogues, mapped out 3 billion new jobs that wise elders would invest in the net genartion colaborating around. You can call a thors of tese primarly e- (knowledge networking that multiplies interpersonal productivity) a billion primarily green, and a billion that work on regenarying every community sultansouly so that wherever a child is born she has a fair chance of grwing up healthy and entreprenurially smart. So opentech and green energy invested in revolutions in communal health, smarteeducation, nutrional and clean water access for all are what post-industrial revolution banking can prioritise as investments- and t6o do so multi-win models which sustain rising exponentails - not compound risk models that bubble up and exponentially collapse become the game to celebrate playing all over our planet http://wholeplanet.tv …

- Topic: DO NOW chartering sub process of Youth's World Class Brands
- rand ? how will processes of I'd like youth to teach the woprld to sing in perfect harmony link together 20th C CASE Robert Woodruff was Coca-Cola's great brand leader for much of the twentieth century. He had a special way with slogans. He focused the company's investment philosophy by declaring that managers must always ensure that Coca-Cola was "within arm's reach of desire". He foresaw this as a vital core competence in serving the impulsive, ie personally urgent, consumer need of refreshment that soft drinks cater to. For Woodruff, advertising tag lines and slogans were more than mere consumer messages. They were deployed to turn his business visions for Coca-Cola into perceptions which became realities. Long before Coca-Cola was a truly international brand, Woodruff organised pride in the slogan that Coca-Cola was "the most friendly drink in the world". But the way Woodruff worked things, even greater leadership acts were to become embodied in an apparently more humble slogan "the pause that refreshes". This advertising slogan was first used in the 1920s to put the brand into the diary of every American worker - whereas Europeans might have tea or coffee breaks, Woodruff institutionalised the idea that American workers should have Coca-Cola breaks. This national interpretation of Coca-Cola's meaning became so common that, just as Americans were preparing to enter World War 2, Woodruff lobbied the US War Office until the generals were persuaded that the essential meaning of Coca-Cola's slogan was a vital answer to "the extreme fatigues of battle". Coca-Cola thereby became the GIs mascot with the US War Office subsidising investments in Coca-Cola's manufacturing and distribution facilities to ensure the mission that wherever American GIs went, Coca-Cola would be there for them. Nearly 30 years later in trying to reconcile America;s image and future after the Vietnam war, the new seekers and Coke broadcast possibly the most popular ad Americans had ever seen - (the only other contender being Apple's 1984). So ended the economy of tv advertising - so began the start for pursposeful brand reality through which knowledge co-workers could serve .. ... Extract Brand Charterers - and all great instinctive teamworkers on branding processes - see a duty to make the future happen in their brands' presence by asking such questions as: �What sorts of products/services will our brand have or need to represent to be valued as a leader in a few year's time? �What do we need to "do now" to accelerate the future? �Who will we really be competing against and who do we want as partners to make the most of our added value chain? �What fundamental discontinuities and changes will we need to leverage? �How does all of this translate into the messages we need to communicate now? In best practice form, the process of branding is an organisational instrument for "editing the future" from a true perspective of leadership. It creates and communicates an organisation-wide will to sustain a focused combination of core competences in order to deliver unique value. Try out a simple brainstorming exercise. What are the essential qualities of brand leadership which can unite all of a brand's audiences across its value exchange Simple things like: �Focused direction of a leader - a brand organisation proud of where it has come from and where it is going to, but not arrogant in exaggerating its worth �A company with an indomitable spirit in pursuit of achieving world records (quality/value) �An identity which is unforgettable and easy to relate to �A totality which feels worthy of trust Add to this a second exercise. Imagine that you are a journalist interviewing a company's people in an attempt to evaluate its claims to be a world class brand. What organisational body language tells you whether brand leadership is real? Examples: �real "buzz" and pride amongst employees �consistently aligned motivation/vision is expressed by everyone you talk to �evidence that customer service trend measurements are as much apart of the operating culture as financial performance measures ... Built-in to the framework of Brand Chartering is a "living script" philosophy. By this we mean that persistent cross-checking of leadership purpose is a key organisational process for adding value. Two of the most important dimensions of brand leadership editing involve: �organisation-wide viewpoints �envisioning a spectrum of future time horizons - the "then" and the "now" …

- initially thought that BRAC would be a short-term effort. But the realities of entrenched poverty soon changed our minds. We began working in a host of areas – agriculture, healthcare, human rights, microfinance, education – wherever the poor faced obstacles. We found that poverty was so entrenched that only a long-term effort of social and economic transformation would uproot it. And this task became my life’s work. I have learned much along the way. Perhaps the most important thing I learned was that when you create the right conditions, poor people will do the hard work of defeating poverty themselves. I learned the importance of having lamps to illuminate your path, even when the precise course is unclear. For me, one of these lamps was Paulo Freire, a Brazilian educator, who wrote a book called Pedagogy of the Oppressed, which had a profound effect on me. Freire's idea of conscientisation, or raising critical consciousness, informed us in our belief that poor people, especially women, can be organised for power, and that with right set of organisational tools, they can become actors in history. This, to me, is the meaning of an open society – a society where everyone has the freedom to realise their full potential and human rights. ... We’ve seen that without scepticism, scientific inquiry, and the constant questioning of one’s assumptions, the highest ideals will falter when tested against reality. In the words of Karl Popper, among the enemies of open society is the notion of “prophetic wisdom,” the type of knowledge that leaves little room for doubt. In contrast to utopian goals, Popper embraced “piecemeal social engineering” – solutions that are effective, even if they are not the most elegant. There is an element of that in BRAC – in its willingness to adapt, in its constant innovation, and in its willingness to learn from its own mistakes. After more than 40 years, we are still a learning organisation. The vision of BRAC is a world free from all forms of exploitation and discrimination. I am sometimes asked if such a world is really possible – whether I believe that poverty can be truly eradicated. The truth is, I believe it can be. Ladies and gentlemen, we can see today that poverty is on the retreat. Recent statistics from the World Bank show that in every region of the world, the number of people living in extreme poverty is dropping for the first time in recent memory. But to borrow Popper’s phrase, there is no prophetic wisdom in this fact. The eradication of human poverty remains an ongoing and arduous task rather than historical certainty, and much work remains. And I invite you to bring your own creativity and potential to this task. .......................................................................... please help us maintain top 10 frames of economist concerned with value exchange curricula -chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk Kenneth Boulding 1968 : The historical significance of capitalism is precisely a society in... which exchange has become a more important source of power than threat -from book of lectures to teachers on what teenagers needed to know about - Economics as a ( Systems) Science Keynes quote selected from this wonderful compilation: "I should... conclude rather differently. I should say that what we want is not no planning, or even less planning, indeed I should say we almost certainly want more. But the planning should take place in a community in which as many people as possible, both leaders and followers wholly share your own moral position. Moderate planning will be safe enough if those carrying it out are rightly oriented in their own minds and hearts to the moral issue. This is in fact already true of some of them. But the curse is that there is also an important section who could be said to want planning not in order to enjoy its fruits but because morally they hold ideas exactly the opposite of yours, and wish to serve not God but the devil."-- John Maynard Keynes, in response to Hayek's criticism of his theory of deficit spending during bad times and payback during good times (Heilbroner, Robert (2000).

- Topic: dfid on changing development through jobs
- Secretary of State for International Development. Related Speech: Justine Greening - Development in transition Blog: Justine Greening - DFID, Business and the Post-2015 Agenda Link: Read the speech on DFID's website This morning, the London Stock Exchange hosted the Rt Hon Justine Greening MP, Secretary of State for International Development. The Secretary of State gave a speech focusing on how DFID's investments can drive growth in new and emerging markets, and how this work can support businesses operating in these markets and enhance trade. Below is a transcript of the speech. Listen to the audio by clicking the link below. Welcome, and thank you all for coming. And thank you Xavier and the London Stock Exchange for hosting us today. It’s fantastic to be here at the London Stock Exchange in the heart of the City to talk about economic development in developing countries and the role of businesses in that. I’ve said from the word go in this job that Britain’s investment in International Development isn’t just the right thing to do –but it’s the smart thing to do too. I've been clear that I want to see our investment in the right places, on the right things, spent in the right way. So, I've started driving better value for money within DFID, by strengthening Ministerial oversight of business cases and contracts, and improving our supplier procurement. But I also wanted to take a closer look not just at how we go about our development work, but what that work comprises. Today I want to talk about why I will be shifting DFID’s work to include a much stronger focus on economic development and the steps we are going to take to get that strategy in place. But I also want to more broadly address the argument from those people who fundamentally don’t buy into international development in principle. International Trade Works Having listened to many of the arguments, I’ve reached the conclusion that for some people, any spend on international development is the wrong priority. Obviously, our government is committed to reaching the 0.7% of GNI target. We will achieve that this year, as we host the G8. There are clearly some who think that focussing 99.3% of Britain’s Gross National Income on Britain isn’t a big enough proportion. I can understand those arguments. And in part, they come from a sense that the UK’s national interest matters, and I completely agree with that. I went into politics because I passionately care about this country's future too. But I'm arguing today that our investment in international development is in our national interest – in fact, I believe it's critical. We are market making – ultimately, if we approach international development effectively. Trade between nations creates growth, jobs and prosperity for both countries and people. It drives down prices and increases choice. Some estimate that the current proposed free trade deal between the US and EU might raise our combined GDP by nearly 150 billion euros. We're rapidly growing our exports to emerging economies like China and India, including with our Prime Minister led trade delegations, but if only the last government had been more effectively working with industry and nascent emerging markets a decade ago, how much more trade would we be being doing in those countries by now. Here in the UK we're setting about rebalancing our own economy. We know that an economy overly reliant on the South East, or on construction and financial services isn't resilient. It’s like a car with only part of the engine working just one piston firing. So, we're rebalancing our economy, but we need to see the same thing happening globally too. International Development is in our interests not just because it creates new markets, but because I believe it can deliver a more balanced, resilient global economy. Sustainable Business Model So, international trade works in creating prosperity, but what about individual countries? Again, domestically, Britain is grappling with a situation that, when you boil it down, saw us inherit a public service and welfare state that the public simply could not afford. It is driving some difficult structural decisions to rebalance from public to private sector to help build a sustainable business model for our country. And so far we’ve seen 1 million private sector jobs created. But just as we cannot continue here in Britain with an unsustainable business model, neither can the developing countries DFID works with. Over the last 10 years my department has done some very effective work, generally helping to build vital basic services – health, education, water and sanitation. That work has have helped to make a difference to millions of people’s lives. We're going to keep doing it. But I believe you can’t build a sustainable public sector without helping to build a private sector. Sustainable public services need a funding stream of tax receipts and that means a thriving private sector. A strategy to do one without the other risks a short term improvement for people in poverty without a long term plan to make sure those gains are locked in. Yes, we need to work to put in place core services – they are vital, but they must go hand in hand with the building of wealth and an economy to sustain them. So, I want to work tackle poverty and see an end to aid dependency through jobs. The facts are compelling – wherever long-term per capita growth has been higher than 3%, we have also seen significant falls in poverty. Look at China – in 1981, 84% of China’s population lived under $1.25 per day. By 2008, this proportion had fallen dramatically to 13%. This was principally driven by the tenfold increase in per capita GDP over the period. Look at Vietnam – a three fold increase in per capita GDP resulted in poverty levels falling from 64% in 1993 to 17% in 2008. DfID used to have major country programmes delivering aid in both countries. Now our relationship is significantly different – it’s no longer aid, it’s turning to trade. The shift has happened. As the Indian Finance Minister said of his own country, "Aid is the past Trade is the future." Economists may argue about many things, but not about this. Economic development is what leaders want too – it makes political sense. Here's what President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia said in October last year: "Aid is not an alternative to self-sufficiency." As she sees it, it's about "how best to create new, stable trading partners that can create opportunities and jobs in emerging and donor countries." Her words, and I think she’s right. But it's not just good for them, it’s good for us too – it makes business sense as well. As 28 top CEOs wrote in a joint letter to the Financial Times today, "This isn’t about corporate social responsibility; we know that developing countries will be major markets and important sources of supply in the future, in fact many already are. Developing countries become emerging economies and emerging economies become the engines of future global growth and prosperity." That's what they say. And investing to drive economic development as well as to put in place basic services, isn’t just good for politicians, or businesses.... If you ask people in developing countries what they want, they’ll give you one top priority – it’s a job. It doesn’t matter whether you ask men or women, they give the same answer. People, wherever they are, want the opportunity to be financially independent, and to have the dignity of being able to provide for themselves and their family. And it’s more than that even. It’s about the right and the need that people have to find out and reach their potential. I believe we have to directly respond to that jobs challenge. As I've said before, my department is called International Development, I'm going to take the Ronseal approach to our strategy because the evidence is clear. Economic growth is essential for sustained poverty reduction. So how can we do it, how do we drive economic development? I think it boils down to probably 3 different aspects. Firstly, reducing overall barriers to trade and investment – whether regulatory, infrastructure, legal or institutional. Secondly, unlocking the ability of entrepreneurs and business people in developing countries to themselves drive economic growth through their own businesses being more and more successful. Thirdly and critically, I believe it also means greater investment by business, and I want to see UK companies joining the development push. I believe British businesses – not just those led by the 28 top CEOs who signed their letter to the Financial Times today, not just those listed here on the London Stock Exchange, but more broadly across our country, have a key role to play. As the PM has said, we’re in a global race. But if you want to be ahead of the game, be at the front, you can’t simply follow the crowd, you've got to lead it. And I think it means being in emerging market countries – not just those of today, but those of tomorrow too. It's about spotting when those markets can move from the “too difficult and risky” category to the “emerging opportunity” category. And Africa has some of the most impressive growth stats in the global economy. Last year, 6 out of the 15 fastest growing economies were in Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa averaged 5.8% growth over the last decade and South Asia, 7.3%. So, I believe that many of the countries in which DFID works are in that "emerging opportunities" box, but many of you can see that because you’re there too. By 2020, Unilever expects developing markets to account for 70% of total sales – that’s huge. Through an innovative partnership with the NGO Care, Unilever is already using a rural sales force comprising 2,800 of the poorest women in Bangladesh who now sell the products of 7 major companies including Unilever, and 12,000 more women are expected to be reached by the end of 2014. Coca-Cola is extending its distribution network and transporting medical supplies in Cola Life packing on its trucks. I know that the London Stock Exchange is building financial services infrastructure through forming exchange partnerships, and giving companies in developing economies an international capital raising platform. M&S, who work hand in hand with Oxfam and other key NGOs on their Sustainable Retail Advisory Board. These companies know that consumers care about corporate values and behaviour more now than ever before, they vote with their money. Just look at the continuing success of Fairtrade – over £1.3 billion worth of Fairtrade goods were sold in the UK in 2011. It was just £50 million a decade earlier. Having spent nearly 15 years in industry before becoming an MP in 2005, I recognise that although there is are opportunities to be involved, for many companies, successfully crystallising them can be a really complex challenge. It's complex for my department too. As I was very clear on last month in my priority speech last month, I am not talking about tied aid. I do not believe that is the way to achieve good, sustainable development. It means what’s good for companies comes first, rather than what’s good for developing countries. It’s the wrong way to go about things. And of course, there may always be companies who don't care about behaving responsibly when they invest, but DFID works to try to tackle those risks with work on transparency and governance. But as I said recently, we can’t just see business as a risk to developing countries. We must also see it as an opportunity. Business interests and developing country interests can align far more often than not. As the last UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said: “It is the absence of broad-based business activity, not its presence, that condemns much of humanity to suffering”. DFID work with Business So, there’s a lot to do but there's a lot we're already doing. DFID's work on technology investments has already helped to unlock smart business investment in developing countries. Look at Vodafone and the hugely successful M-PESA mobile banking phone service. DFID match-funded Vodafone's initial investment and there are now 17m users in Kenya and a third of Kenyan GDP is expected to pass through the M-PESA system. A mobile bank account essentially for millions who otherwise wouldn't have one. One that they can do business and trade with. Value chains We've worked on developing innovative value chains which have the potential to transform markets and communities. Our Food Retail Industry Challenge Fund of £7.4m has helped companies like Taylor’s of Harrogate transform how Rwandan tea is produced and sold to them, and generated new products. We’re also building local capacity through supply chains. With DFID's support the Waitrose Foundation are working in South Africa, investing in improving the skills and job prospects of tens of thousands of young people in the communities that support Waitrose supply chains. It makes good sense to keep supply chains sustainable. Waitrose is actually the first partner in our new Trade and Global Value Chains Initiative that we've kicked off and I'm delighted that we've had expressions of interest from other major retailers like M&S and Sainsbury’s who are eager to get involved. In Bangladesh, we are working with Tesco to establish an Apparel Skills Foundation to equip the industry with the training, expertise and tools to improve productivity and working conditions. It is going to train staff in over 100 factories, reaching a quarter of a million garment workers. In South Sudan we have partnered with SAB Miller so that 1200 farmers can get involved in supplying SAB Miller’s brewery in Juba. On the health agenda we're working with a wide range of pharmaceutical companies such as GSK on the supply of vaccines to the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation, a public-private initiative to fund vaccines for children in the world's 70 poorest countries, and GAVI’s partnership with Vodafone is exploring how mobile phone technology can help increase vaccination coverage. On education, we are exploring with Pearson how we can work together to develop innovative, sustainable solutions for quality education for millions of children, with real accountability for parents. Lots of individual projects in different sectors, but I believe we've only just scratched the surface. I want to see far more (British) businesses joining the development push with DfID. We all have a huge opportunity to help build up responsible trade with the emerging economies of developing countries. We're not doing anyone a favour leaving the economic coast clear to those with lower standards than our own, and I believe British companies can have a real role in growing developing economies through trade. Today I can announce that DFID has already begun to develop the comprehensive and responsible strategy that we need for working with businesses interested in responsible investment in developing countries. We want to do more with the companies we're already working with, but I don't just want to reach out to the largest companies in our country. I want medium and smaller companies to get involved too. Take Reid Steel in Christchurch, Dorset – designer and manufacturer of two 120m bridges in Nepal which should be able to better withstand earthquakes and flash floods. One bridge was opened in January this year and the second is due to open in June. And we can do so much MORE. Britain is open for business and I want DFID to be open for business too. We are already working with the CBI. I want to get together with industry bodies across different sectors, NGOs and business schools. I want an ambitious approach that sees DFID as a hub for knowledge sharing and advice and providing in-country support, where projects have a clear development gain for the countries concerned. I want your help to do that. DfID will lead this work across government, linking up with BIS, UKTI and FCO to deliver it. As I said before, for the countries we all want to see develop, we do them no favours by leaving the economic coast clear to those with corporate governance standards that are lower than our own. We have those standards. Britain has those standards. And one thing I’ve learnt in this job is that those standards, our British approach matters. It is recognised and valued across the world. That's why so many international companies list right here in London. They know we are people who stick to our word. The London Stock Exchange motto is "Dictum meum pactum", "my word is my bond". Let us use that approach for good. And if your company simply wants to do something practical that isn't anything to do with your core business, but you just want to make a difference, I’d like to see how DFID can better provide a framework for industry to know how to go about it in the right, responsible and sustainable way. I hope I can get our world class NGOs to help on this too. Local Business Environment So there's lots of work to do with you, but alongside that, I want DFID to do more to help build up strong and investable business environments in the developing countries themselves. That means helping countries build their own tax base, squeezing out corruption and providing the technical advice that means when economic growth does happen, countries are well placed to then reap and reinvest the gains. Last week, with the PM, we hosted the Afghanistan Mining, Oil and Gas Investor Forum at No 10. It brought together the Afghan Mining Minister – a man who has, with DFID’s help and the excellent pro-bono advice of former head of KPMG Michael Wareing, delivered a Mining Law that will now pass through the Afghanistan Parliament. Afghanistan sits on an estimated $2-3 trillion of oil, gas and mineral deposits. And with the safeguards in place, consulting with communities, ensuring jobs stay local, and the chance for tax receipts from mining to in part to be reinvested in health and education, it’s ultimately going to be business investment that unlocks Afghanistan’s future. And DFID has also provided support to help the Afghan government to improve its tax base and tax collection. With technical advice, we have seen their tax base grown from $250m in 2004 to $2bn in 2012. We're going to do more of that. And today, I can announce that DFID will be setting up a Tax Capability Building Unit within HMRC to provide us with an in-house team of tax experts dedicated to working in developing countries with DFID teams. As we have seen in Afghanistan, the returns on this sort of investment can be enormous. Our first joint DFID/HMRC country projects will start this April and I expect that once we've built the unit up, by April 2017 we will have teams working in 6/7 more countries. It also means reducing regional trade barriers. African Union leaders have signed up to creating a free trade area by 2017. That's an ambitious plan that we want to see succeed. So dismantling trade barriers is vital. The Economist recently cited the example of a car from China, which would cost more to take it from Tanzania to neighbouring Uganda than it did to ship it from China in the first place. The DFID supported Africa Free Trade Initiative is dramatically speeding up border crossing between Zambia and Zimbabwe, and by 2015, DFID aims to help cut by half the average crossing time at ten major border crossings between countries in East and Southern Africa. DFID's project, Trade Mark East Africa, aims to increase trade from the East African Community overall – our work with the revenue authority in Burundi has directly led to revenue up around 40% year-on-year for 2012; and even in South Sudan, the new customs service it's helped establish has seen customs revenues increase significantly. Technical assistance matters and I can announce today a £51 million investment in DFID’s International Growth Centre to expand its work to Burma, Malawi, Liberia and Nigeria, providing expert, independent growth policy advice direct to governments in developing countries. DFID is also launching a new £5m commercial law and justice programme to support the improvement of the legal environment for business and investment in developing countries. It will also increase the transfer of world class commercial legal knowledge, skills and support, much of it based here in the UK to where it is needed. We're also working to strengthen property rights. You wouldn’t buy a house without checking the land registry, yet in most of the developing world, the people who occupy and farm land, don’t have any legal rights to it. This matters for economic independence, because in particular for the many women who have small farms, if you don't have land, you don't have collateral, and if you don't have collateral – you can't get a loan. And if you can't get a loan, you can't develop your business. We're already doing work in Rwanda on this, so far helping to register 5 million parcels of land onto a new land registry – half of those benefitting from that have been women. Investing in women is hugely powerful because we know that women will reinvest 90% of that income back into their families and communities, so there's a double bonus. And we know that it changes attitudes towards women in a beneficial way too. Some NGOs have raised the issue of Land as part of their campaign on food and hunger. And we will pursue this at the G8 alongside the transparency that we want to see, protecting legitimate investors and the rights of local communities, and also exposing those who acquire land unfairly. Innovative Financing Finally, expect to see my department looking at innovative financing approaches to help support this new style of development investment. CDC’s remit has changed to better focus on the countries and sectors where we know development investment will make the biggest difference to poverty alleviation. And I want to look at other innovative ways to do more direct investment, including more projects based on returnable capital, which sees an investment fund, investing in local companies, creating jobs, generating a return that can itself be reinvested. So the UK will also be taking a lead on developing the global market for social impact investment which is estimated now at over £1 billion. In December I launched a new £112m programme where, for the first time, DFID will support investments that are designed to benefit the poor whilst offering a financial return to investors. This is good for investors, who earn a financial return. It’s good for the poorest, who receive jobs and support. And good for DFID as it allows us to leverage in far more private sector finance, meaning each pound of our budget has even more impact. I’m also pleased to announce that on 6 June the UK will be hosting an event on impact investment as part of our Presidency of the G8. This event will help catalyse this growing global opportunity to enable the market to operate effectively on a global scale. Conclusion So there is much to do. I know that nothing changes overnight. But what I’ve set out today is intended to signal a real shift in my department’s work – driving economic growth alongside our core work on basic services, working hand in hand with business to do that. The countries where DFID works will be the growth markets of the next 20, 30 years. And I believe Britain can be a force for good in this world. But, I also believe British business can be. My objective for developing countries is an end to aid dependency through jobs. Every time Britain has been at its most successful, it’s been when we’ve been out in the world, trading, doing business. We've never stood on the sidelines. And we can't afford to start now. …

Part 2 - by uk law, the addresses of all shareholders of a corporation have to be supplied on request by any citizen at cost. I aim to survey which of The Economist's owners want to join in crowdfunding the inaugural annual of world record job creators in time for The Economist's 175th anniversary in 2018. If Yunus is interested in collaboratively partnering around this, please work out where he would find it most convenient for me to meet him ideally before August 1 as I have summer commitments to my daughter during August Part 3 is to send similar part 1 to 10 other world record job creating connectors earlier diary exchanges between several youth capitals correpondents I realise july may be a hard month for anna as peak admin work of the year at uni of san diego and naila as peak fasting month of the year however it is the one traveling month I am free from responsibilities to my daughter I also gathered from taddy that he feels that due to marriage etc of matt flannery it will be 2+ months before he able to help with arrange a san francisco meet up My questions: would it still be useful arranging one meet of naila, anna and me in eg san diego in july or is there a way that naila could see if laura turner might want to meet in atlanta- several subjects worth rehearsing with her are as follows: does Laura want to connect with naila's womens empowerment movement in NY 2 days before the atlanta rehearsal and 3 days before WSIE in nnew york does she want to take a meta-connecting role on green energy (her number 1 personal foundation's role)- not only does naila have congruent wishes from eg the sainsbury's but yunus knowhow on solar came originally from Jimmy Carter's energy champion neville williams there are also at least 2 very delicate issues of nobel summit laura turner might want to be aware of in case she wanted to sustain dynamics of it that yunus men look unable to do first it appears that gorbachev will not again be well enough to attend this summit- which he co-founded as was eat of europe's main freedom of youth connector; gorbachev's other main networks open society have been co-founded with george soros; for some reason the leadership of nobel summit never seems to invite soros to play a lead role- this is a pity as it not only misses the east europe energies of gorbachev and walesa ever more vital as the EU fails to represent countries/youth at its extremities; but 2 soros wants to sponsor moocs of womens and youth economics; 3 it was soros who first funded grameen phone anyway second cape town october summit has now become a black hole in every way that it had been announced as a perfect connector between warsaw and atlanta because south africa fears china and wont give the dalai lama a visa, mandela's main living friend: bishop tutu is withdrawing so are the main womens cluster of laureates it therefore makes it unlikely that cape town will do anything much to celebrate mandela's action legacy with worldwide youth; so missing connections too with atlantas opening of the rights museum and spirit of luther king family; moreover the historically black university colleges which to summer 2013 were the soul of yunus entrepreneur competitions now have 2 rival coordinators- bhuiyan and thurgood marshall who took over the network which bhuiyan had worked for at annual Atlanta summits since 2000 to stage hbu student entrepreneur conferences It seems to me in "direct account mode ,ie the turner family unfoundation-atlanta have most of all invested in connections" that all of this information is urgent for ted turner's daughter to know about, and probably some of it she has not been informed about in ways that her family can optimise their own decision-making Of course I apologise if I have made any reporting errors but do feel that the two of you (Naila, Anna) know more what to do with all this information than anyone else especially as after black communities, hispanic womens networks are the second network us needs to linkin to end poverty in americas (and neither of the 2 mexican yunus summits in september or november seem likely to be valuing youth, nanocredit or the original bangladeshi microfranchise knowhow) The split with dalai lama is also particularly sad as there is a huge overlap between dalai lama and taddys main way "maharishi" of helping girls who have been abused to refind love of self - maybe laura turner does urgently need the right sort of introduction to taddy. Moreover Branson only found taddy as partner due to his accidental discovery of Sara Blakely in an apprentice reality tv show that Sara won fiorst social prize of. Sara has since gone on to be Atlanta youngest female billionnaire and one seeking how to give back to womens issues Also having found the world banks young professional associate who grew up in atlanta it is quite sad not to have even one hi-trust link for her to help stage with the next round of the woprld bank youth summit october 6.

- Topic: MOOC on pro-poor economics - question 1 have mit market models ever analysed value chains from voice of poorest?
- chrismacraeabout an hour ago• This thread is closed. As a Cambridge (UK) MA in statistics in 1970s I was looking for a practice field, chose markets as that interested my father at The Economist as he had an open systems hypothesis that youth futures were being increasingly ignored as tv advertising took over costs of markets, and luckily found MIT's Glen Urban's models which also benefited from an early database software analysis tool (then) called Express. Through the 1980s we did thousands of market modeling tests which provided behavioural benchmarks across tests to complete market mixes. We found some shocking things. Service solutions integrate many more moving parts in what Levitt used to call the purposeful search for continuous improvement than lifeless products. Knowledge networked service products even more so if you want goodwill to multiply through value exchanges with multi-win models. Value chains designed round what richest need segment in extremely opposite ways from what poorest need to communally sustain. After 9/11 I decided I would spend at least half of rest of my life modeling markets NGOs dominate because I hoped to analyse how to help youth collaboratively open source life critical service solutions. 13 years into this I find the lack of integral understanding needed to replicate service franchises very sad; until usaid recently revisited mapping value chains I found western aid completely failed to design bottom up franchises; I still find greenwashing wastes well over half of money spent on searching for pro-poor solutions that could be replicated by youthful collaboration entrepreneurs through inter-community trust; let's hope enough alumni of this course linkin around a totally deeper approach to chartering and mapping how to open up knowledge networks around microfranchises served by and for the poorest- and investing in their goals for their next generation. The Foundation -and journal edited by Adam Smith scholars out of Glasgow - set up to continue my father's pro-youth economics approach for uniting net generation around open sourcing desperately needed knowhow service solutions believes MOOCs have a gamechanging role to play. I also have a question for Duflo. Does she value interviewing those who have spent their life passionately experimenting with solutions for the poorest for the heuristics they recommend using? By a heuristic I mean a principle that someone has seen validated so many times that is worth assuming it does spin a system's impacts unless you find proof in a specific context that it doesnt apply, or can identify a gamechanger that has transformed a market into a higher order system of systems. I would say yes the ubiquitous mobile phone in the village now makes it hard to assess what used to be extremely manual srvice franchise models of the most sustainable microcredits and thosands of barefoot banking staff. However practical Bangladeshi microeconomists and engineers have also voiced this precept from the first 42 years of their nation's social laboratory of pro-youth village banking: Banking is a market where the richer in every role from politician and macroeconomist downwards (often subconsciously or subliminally) always edge out the needs of the poorer unless every quarter you audit the model from the poorest's voice. When our researchers presented that principle to dad he said : yes I can think of 1000 cases where that has happened (see his thousands of artices in The Economist 1948-1990 ) and none where it hasn't. He spent his last years analysing the 00s crisis in big banking using that precept . It turns out that uniting net generation youth in the race to poverty museums can solve underemployment challenges everywhere, as well as progress millennium goals but only if post 2015 we do a much better educational job of mapping connections between goals. Re-reading the last 3 pages of Keynes general theory provides more evidence for being a fan of the Bangaldeshi's microbankers precepts than those underpinning the mindsets current @ Brussels on the Potomac or agents of Mad(ison) avenue. …
