Editor's Notes
Notes:
As we move from discovery to dream, the goal is to build upon our strengths, values, highpoint experiences from our positive core as we envision our preferred future.
We start with stakeholders, who are the individuals and groups who have something at stake in how the company operates: their jobs, health, community, and the products and services they consume. You can also think of stakeholders as anyone who can help or hurt a company Economic stakeholders are part of the company’s value chain: they are the stakeholders managers usually think about. INVESTOR GROUPS & BANKERS Societal stakeholders are not part of the direct value chain: Government NGOs The media Local communities Traditionally ADVERSERIAL relationship Societal stakeholders have become much more important recently in determining issues such as governance, human health, quality of life, and environmental impacts.
Rapid growth of NGOs since 1970, when Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth began their activities. Fro ma few thousand to nearly 60,000 today. Many of these NGOs are making the linkage to the unintended consequences. Forcing companies to identify negative impacts, holding these companies accountable for damages, and helping them find positive solutions. Move from broad scope to sector and cause-specific Move from “anti” to market-shaping When the Wildlife Habitat Council was formed in 1988, the founders conceived a new and innovative concept of bringing together - conservation and business. This was the first cooperative effort between the environmental community and industry. WHC helps large landowners, particularly corporations , manage their unused lands in an ecologically sensitive manner for the benefit of wildlife.
Here you can see in the US the growth in the number of environmental laws from 1870 to today. The rapid growth also started in 1970. Even though Federal government not doing much, the States are suing the EPA and utilities regulated by the federal government to get stricter regulations passed Mine Safety and Health At a Glance U.S. Department of Labor Mine Safety and Health Administration Safety and health in America’s mining industry made significant strides during the 20th century and over the last 25 years in particular. In 1978, the first year the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) operated under the new Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, 242 miners died in mining accidents. Last year, in 2003, a record-low 56 fatalities were reported.
Sustainability is a relatively recent term coming from new environmental and social problems worldwide … evolution to a more business-type perspective
Introduce myself. Good Morning – and Welcome to This Breakfast at our Case Western Dively Center. For those of you that I have not had the opportunity to meet, my name is Jenniffer Deckard and I have been with Fairmount Minerals for 11 years and have been the CFO of the company for the majority of those years. While Fairmount has always prided ourselves in being responsible corporate citizens, we have recently embarked on a company-wide campaign to raise awareness of our commitment to Sustainable Development and to incorporate Sustainable Development practices into our mission, our business practices and into our everyday lives.
As we move from discovery to dream, the goal is to build upon our strengths, values, highpoint experiences from our positive core as we envision our preferred future.
How did we get here? History of org in one slide Biggest picture of human life together - a process of development punctuated by great moments of transition Each era had its signature form of org: sm grps, hier, bureau We date the birth of the Info Age at the last 6 months of 1945 August drop of the Atomic bomb on Hiroshima UN Charter signed a few months later in SF In December, ENIAC, first digital computer, was born In the middle of that period, in October, 1945, the OSS was disbanded, after only 3 legendary years. Two years later, Congress occasioned the birth of the CIA and the intelligence community You are truly a network organization of the Information Age However, the older forms are still key parts of the mix... Let’s focus on the “+” between the org forms, and also illustrate using a common example of an industrial era profession--firefighting. [NFPCA] [tell FD story through actions….]
So let’s talk a little about the term community. We believe that communities are only communities if they come together over a period of time – A single one-hour web conference, for example, wouldn’t be considered a community-based activity unless it was the broader context of a longer learning effort. And communities don’t have be strictly tied together by technology per se. Communities are typically tied together by a common purpose, norms, etc. What are examples of communities? They may meet together physically and then supplement their face-to-face activities online. What are examples of communities? Online or off? What makes them work? Common purpose, norms, values, roles
This example used from the summit. If 671 could share this information on the Network the results would be incredible if everyone applied it to their work operations. Sharing best practices for overall company success assists the company in meeting goals.
