Innovation, Economic Diversification and Human DevelopmentiBoP Asia
This document discusses the relationship between innovation, economic diversification, and human development. It argues that while innovation and economic diversification are important drivers of economic growth, they do not necessarily lead to improved human welfare and well-being. The human development approach emphasizes expanding people's freedoms, opportunities, and choices in order to enhance their quality of life. Both industrial policy and human development policy are needed to promote types of economic diversification that support human capabilities and well-being. Understanding how variety, choice, and welfare co-evolve can help design better development policies.

Pattern and Determinants of Export Diversification in BangladeshMd. Moulude Hossain
This paper analyzes the pattern and the main determinants of
export diversification in Bangladesh. A large data set of Bangladesh export during the period of 1980-81 to 2006-07 has been used for this purpose. Three main indexes have been used to explore the trend of export concentration and these three indicators of export diversification were calculated to determine the trend of export from Bangladesh. The
Hirschman Index, the Ogive Index and the Entropy Coefficient were used to analyze the diversification pattern of export from Bangladesh. From the analyses, robust evidence has been found across the specifications and indicators that the export basket of Bangladesh has continued to remain relatively undiversified and the country has not been able to translate its
comparative advantage into competitive advantage. Further, this study reveals that the export growth and overall economic growth are highly correlated and a robust restructuring in trade policy is needed for gaining momentum in diversification of export in Bangladesh. The analyses show that exports at the intensive margin account for the most important share of
overall trade growth. At the extensive margin, geographic diversification is more important than product diversification, especially for developing countries. Taking part in free trade agreements, thereby reducing trade barrier and costs, development of infrastructure and communication, extensive financing for export and policies emphasizing the development of human capital is now the need of time for improving diversification of export.

Great Cities Report - Profiles in municipal excellence - Low resolutionRachel Peer
This document discusses how cities can employ innovative and sustainable finance techniques to provide high-quality public services with limited budgets.

Some cities now use zero-based or results-based budgeting to better allocate funds to priorities. The document uses Baltimore as an example, where focusing budgets on key outcomes and competition between departments improved efficiency and saved $202 million. Calgary has started zero-based reviews and collects performance data, but could better publish results and engage the public to further refine its budget process.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

CANADA M5V 3B1
Subject: Local Government Support Program for Local Economic Development (LGSP-LED)
Canadian Consultant for Business Planning for Local Government Units (LGUs)
Dear Mr. Farncombe:
I appreciate the opportunity to present a qualifications package for myself as a qualified Business and
Economic Development Advisor, Capital EDC Economic Development Company. I am the sole
proprietor and employee for this enterprise, operating from Victoria, on Vancouver Island, British
Columbia, Canada. I serve as both a business and economic development advisor on specific projects
and on retainer by a number of public and private sector customers.
I am currently engaged in a number of diverse and interesting assignments which include:
Chair and Project Manager, British Columbia Forest Industry Workforce strategy for small, medium
enterprise and major employers in the coastal operating region;
Business and Economic Development Advisor, a Coast Salish aboriginal government developing all
government, business and economic development policy, practice, governance and training of
staff;
Business planning and development of a western greenhouse management firm that is introducing
self-sustaining food industry to aboriginal communities;
Business planning and certification processes for a recently accredited soil remediation facility, one
of the first approved by the Government of British Columbia in the last 15 years;
Curation and issues management for the Coastal Community Network comprised of the elected
and hereditary leadership of 153 coastal municipalities, regional districts and aboriginal
governments;
Curation and international trade coordination for Ocean Initiatives British Columbia, a non-
government organization for ocean and marinespace business focused on improving their sales of
western Canadian intellectual property, services and products; and;
The development of a mobile app which can be used to compare sustainable attributes of
communities designed to overcome negative impacts associated with the publishing of “Best
Places” to live, work and retire lists by ill-informed journalists.
My work with local and regional governments, both in the public and aboriginal context has
contributed greatly to my understanding of building and sustaining economic development practices
by ensuring that there are people from the area that have tangible ownership in the outcomes
associated with pursing local economic development. I am not a practitioner that develops a binder in
4. cellphone: +1 250 507-4500 | mobile: www.patrickmarshall.tel | Page 2 of 3
fulfillment of a contract, but rather, I invest in people from day one so that they can sustain the efforts
to make a visible and measurable impact on their community.
This means I conduct a 72 hour assessment, develop the right entity for the right context, test the
system before I hand it over to the people with vested interests to operate, and I offer to come back on
a quarterly or twice annual basis to evaluate progress and fine tune adjustments to suit. Too many
consultants leave a binder behind with instructions or strategies that either require too much money
to fulfill, are too obscure and complex for the owners to understand, or have wish lists, rather than
simple results that can be achieved in short time frames.
I am the best candidate for this support Mission to a Philippine Consultant because:
I have worked as both an urban and regional planner and economic developer in Canada’s largest
City, Toronto, population {GTA] 5.5 million;
I have supported corporate business planning for local government units including 750,000
population, 250,000 population regions, 35,000 area municipalities, Districts of 12,000, Villages of
1200 and aboriginal communities of 300 people;
I defined the scope of economic development entities for the Union of British Columbia
Municipalities;
I currently support 158 aboriginal and local governments operating in the British Columbia coastal
watershed with respect to curating the sustainability file for the region;
I assisted in the establishment of Canada’s first three urban centered marketing collaborative
between the host municipality and land developers;
I have been the recipient of more than 25 Marketing Canada awards from the Economic
Developers Association of Canada for my digital, print and multimedia products developed for
employers and customers;
I have assisted Chambers of Commerce and Industrial Associations with their corporate business
planning processes and I am one of few professionals that have transitioned Boards of Directors to
the Carver Results Governance system of benchmarking and operating from the view of a Chief
Executive Officer and the Chair of a Board of Directors;
I have developed a unique sustainability certification system for places and I serve as a subject
matter expert for the identification of sustainable practices for economic development in small,
rural and remote communities; and;
I have the contacts that will support this Mission from a best practices perspective.
Having served as an urban and regional planner, I have also honed my skill at community engagement
and communications. These are two distinct functions of the process of building a community that is
connected to its vision of the future. One is outbound and the other is inbound. Both perceived
differently by the elected and appointed leadership. In the aboriginal context, I have cooked and
served food to Members of a Nation as part of this trust building process. There are many other
functions that one must be prepared to participate in when working at street level.
I have worked amongst competing private interest since my days organizing some of the first P3
marketing initiatives for Downtown North York, Scarborough Town Centre and Mississauga City Centre
back in the eighties. In my brief time with Mr. Cliff Bowman, I learned how to get developers
5. cellphone: +1 250 507-4500 | mobile: www.patrickmarshall.tel | Page 3 of 3
competing for each corner at an intersection to collaborate. A skill I used today with the Forest
Industry attacking workforce issues in British Columbia.
Finally, I have had the unique experience of being a guest of the Government of Japan at a Waterfront
Design Conference which was used to open up Kaikyo Messe in Shimonoseki Japan, an international
conference centre. There I told my story of swapping two days fishing at the world renown Painter’s
Lodge for a waterfront design charrette led by Joe Berridge and Frank Lewinberg of Urban Strategies
Inc. Of course the Campbell Rivieran’s and Nationals at the conference in Japan had no idea of the
acclaim or standing of these legendary planners and designers, but they appreciated the cost saving
approach and the result of their critical thinking.
I look forward to serving as the Canadian Technical Associate for the Institute on this Mission.
Yours truly,
Capital EDC Economic Development Company

Serves as an advisor to the Coastal Community Network comprised on more than 158
aboriginal and municipalities [2007-present] located in the Pacific Watershed along British
Columbia’s and Canada’s coastal region.
Broad understanding of economic growth issues in the Philippines
Patrick Marshall reports that research and briefings indicate that local government units
operating in the Philippines are focused on enforcement culture which undermines the
ability of local government units to participate as a full partner in local and regional growth
and development.
New planning and development tools are required to assist local government units in
completing assessments of the impact of red tape on local business, eliminating red tape in
a publicly defensible way, engaging in conversation with corporate public and private
organizations to collaborate on identifying economic clusters of business, academics and
like-minded individuals that can collaborate on short term 90 and 365 day campaigns
designed to improve a sustainable local and regional economy.
Key to the success of business planning at the local government units is educating residents
and residential ratepayers on the process of collaboration, which is entirely separate from
collusion. Public engagement and communications tools are increasingly mobile based.
However, local government units must adopt proactive disclosure so as to build trust and
awareness and actually enlist residents as a strong communications vehicle for the
initiatives. Social media has become a huge ally to municipalities that create opportunities
for residents to participate in the process.
Demonstrated track record in fostering LGU-private sector collaboration for
local economic growth and competitiveness

created the first private public venture [P3] focused on collaborative marketing of office

He was recruited to be the Chief Executive Officer of Ocean Industries BC representing $11.5
Billion to the gross domestic product of British Columbia and an estimated 35,000 jobs,
achieved through more than 7,000 businesses.
He also served as the founding General Manager of North Central Island Tourism, a
Destination Management Organization service to an area of 7,077 square miles with a
population of 42,000 people settled in predominantly small villages and remote
communities.
He has been rewarded more than 25 times by the Economic Developers Association of

Marketing Canada Awards program he designed in 1988 achieving “Best in Class” on several
occasions.
Continues to serve as the Business and Economic Development Advisor to the Coastal
Community Network and Ocean Initiatives British Columbia.
Elected and served three terms as the Chairman of the Board of Directors for Small Business
British Columbia, a partner in the Canada Business Service Centre Network.
Strong understanding of market-oriented local economic development
Economic Development at the local level must be responsive, not prescriptive. That means
that local government units need to survey business in a frank and public discussion on how

Services The future economic growth and prosperity of our communities will depend on the way
challenges are managed and opportunities are seized. Local governments in the Philippines are
being called on to play a larger and more proactive role in driving sustainable economic growth
and accelerating investment and job creation. Successful LGUs will be those that collaborate with
their communities and businesses to create competitiveness. This requires a deliberate planning
effort that focuses an LGU on its role in attracting investment, reducing the cost of doing business,
ensuring sufficient land and infrastructure is available to accommodate growth, facilitating
workforce development and attracting talent, helping small and medium enterprises to form,
boosting business growth and creating livable places for its residents, among others.
To help LGUs pursue their economic transformation, the Department of Interior and Local
Government (DILG) has developed a Roadmap for Business-Friendly and Competitive LGUs to
2016. It reiterates the national government’s declaration that a clear way to achieve the robust
and long-term growth needed to attract investment create jobs and reduce poverty is through the
creation of a business-friendly environment.
Patrick Marshall recognizes that because the National Objective includes the reduction of poverty
that some community development tools will be required to enable residents to develop skill sets
to work towards self-sustenance and community based sustainability and may require the
application of public education campaigns on a neighbourhood level to achieve the National
Objectives.
Also, Patrick Marshall suggests that 80% of local government time in a successful context starts
with a focus on “Business Retention”, elimination of red tape and preparing the ground for
attracting direct investment new to the community. Business participates as an equal partner in
maintaining a “Business Friendly” environment equally with local government units, non-
government organizations like the World Wildlife Fund [WWF] and other resident community
organizations.
Developing a business community that understand the role that corporate social responsibility
plays in maintaining a productive and competitive workforce is essential to achieving National,
Regional and Local targets. Business associations, Chambers of Commerce and Service Clubs like
Rotary International’s Probus program all fit into an active roadmap that delivers success in the
near term.
In its Operational Plan and Budget (OPB) for 2013, DILG has set a number of goals related to
‘business friendly and competitive LGUs’ that will help the Department improve its convergence
activities with other national government agencies (NGAs) and strengthen private sector
engagement. One of the main activities outlined in the OPB is to build the capacity of LGUs to
develop business plans, which are defined as strategies for improving the local business climate
and improving collaboration with the private sector to accelerate economic growth and job
creation. The Department will mandate these business plans to be prepared with close
involvement of the local private sector. LGU business planning will be informed by the ongoing
assessment of LGU competitiveness across the country using a checklist developed through LGSP-
LED, together with benchmarking of local economic development innovations by local
governments across the Philippines, in Canada and around the world.
Patrick Marshall’s experience comes from a variety of experience. Working in Canada’s largest
municipality gave Patrick the experience he needed to easily identify prospective private and
public sector hosts, core to enabling this process.

It starts with an environmental scan of the business community which identifies needs;
Then moves through internal business and corporate planning within local government
units to adjust and adapt to serve business needs;
Plans are benchmarked for progress on quarterly basis and reviewed annually with three
year terms. Any longer and the market has changed such that plans are no longer relevant;
and;
Then becomes a public plan by which residents become actively involved in monitoring
progress and participating in their given roles.
The year ahead will see DILG focusing on creating an organizational model for local economic
development for LGUs across the country, in collaboration with the Department of Trade and
Industry (DTI) and key private sector organizations such as the Philippine Chamber of Commerce
and Industry (PCCI).
Patrick Marshall recognizes that there will be a model selected for National implementation,
however, not one size fits every local government unit. This was his core message to the Union
of British Columbia Municipalities when he presented the notion that models need to be sized
to suit the development stage of any local government Unit. Some are ahead of others and
picking one model to fit all local government units will cause some to fall behind or fail in
achieving National Objectives.
Patrick Marshall has the resources to provide support to the fine tuning and custom refinement
of the National model to Local Government Units.
It will assess the efficacy of the Local Economic Development and Investment Promotion Office
(LEDIPO) model, as well as the designated Local Economic and Investment Promotion Officer
position, for advancing LED. A model template and training manual for business planning and
implementation efforts by LEDIPOs will be a key deliverable. To support the roll-out of this effort,
there will be a need to increase the capacity and skills of the DILG LED Team and regional focal
persons to have better understanding of Business Planning as applied in local governments.
Corporate Business Planning for local government units is an area that Patrick Marshall excels.
He recognizes that these corporate business plans are an agreement between elected Members
of the LGU and the Chief Administrative Officer and his staff. This agreement is developed by
both groups in consultation with their constituents, including residents, industry and business.
Each group has a role to play in ensuring positive outcomes.
Public and private sector engagement is an art form.. To do it successfully, often third party
facilitators are required so that each participant can retain their integrity and ability to respond
and not react to public discourse. Patrick Marshall has examples of other processes that the
DILG LED Team can reference.
Working closely with the Filipino Business Planning Consultant, who will take the lead on this
assignment in providing support to DILG’s Bureau of Local Government Development (BLGD) to
design and implement the LGU business planning elements of the 2013 OPB, the Canadian
Consultant shall be responsible for providing technical assistance, knowledge transfer and
coaching on LGU Business Planning to DILG and select LGUs, through the following tasks:
1. Benchmarking – gather, review and share relevant documents regarding business planning
best practices by selected local governments in Canada and other international locations as

What is the outlook for Vancouver Island’s major resource industries? While the Island economy continues
work to diversify from its dependence on forest resources, our economy remains largely resource dependent.
With continued expansion of global markets, the forest industry is showing signs of recovery from a
prolonged economic downturn; mining is on an upswing with the recent rise in mineral prices, spurring the
proposed development of several new mines on the Island; farmed salmon has been B.C.’s largest agricultural
export for the past six years; the Commercial Fisheries continue to change shape; and efforts to “green the

grid” continue with the development of new technologies to provide clean energy such as geothermal, tidal,
run-of-river, solar and wind power.
This session will provide an economic outlook for our regional resources industries and operations on
Vancouver Island--emerging opportunities and markets, challenges and barriers to growth, and examples of
collaboration and innovative partnerships.

Denise Kiona Henning Ph.D.

As the President and CEO for Northwest Community College, I am a committed educator
who I believe has become a leader in administration in higher education. My philosophy as
a leader of change is based on building relationships through a collaborative and team-

over the past 14 years to energize people to think outward while focusing on the needs of
students. I simply believe that as a leader, it is my role to ensure that colleagues recognize
the need to be on vision, on mission, and to be ethically principled.
As a Cherokee/Choctaw originating from Creek County in Oklahoma, I have a deep passion
for equity and inclusion in higher education, as well as a concern for assisting students;
faculty, staff, and administrators from all backgrounds appreciate the rich heritages
present in our country and in our contemporary world. My career includes consultations
with institutions of higher education and organizations throughout the United States and
Canada. My experience as a researcher includes Aboriginal Graduate student persistence
and completion, Aboriginal Women’s Issues, and reducing the disparity of Mathematics,
Science, and Literacy attainment of underrepresented students.
Having a working knowledge of the development, implementation, and administration at
all levels of post-secondary education, I credit much of my knowledge to both my
