On September 5, 2013, Social Progress Imperative Chair Professor Michael E. Porter of Harvard Business School introduced the Social Progress Index and discussed national competitiveness to a standing room-only crowd of over 1,200 in Asunción.
Over the last twenty years the centre of the global economy has shifted. Investors are targeting higher rates of return in developing economies while emerging markets have also become increasingly attractive to occupiers suffering the stagnation of more mature locations.
Rapid growth in the economies of China, Brazil and India has led to substantial migration of capital and business activities to other less mature environments. However a number of global shocks occurred during the latter half of 2014 and 2015, suggesting that frailties could be escalating to crisis point.
MARKET TREND OR MARKET BLIP?
Emerging market economies have certainly felt some significant headwinds over the past 12 months. This is posing threats to future economic growth prospects. not only for developing economies but also the developed world.
At present China is witnessing a significant economic slowdown, Russia is suffering from falls in oil prices and Brazil is being hit by both falling commodity prices and political dysfunction. A vicious cycle of secular stagnation appears to be developing. Slowing growth in industrial countries is now directly impacting emerging economies, which are exporting capital and thereby slowing growth in more developed locations.
KEY GLOBAL TRENDS
– Lower commodity prices
– Weakening global trade
– Financial turbulence in advanced markets
– Policy bottlenecks
– Structural downgrade in China
Following a brief period where focus was on nothing but a return to a global recovery following the downturn of 2008, GDP forecasts in 2015 are now being sharply revised downwards by the IMF. This underlines the significance of current global troubles and the impact they could have on the health of both developed and developing world economies. It is yet to be seen whether this is a trend to stay or a market blip, nevertheless growing uncertainty is certainly starting to be reflected in investor and business sentiment.

I raise the critical role of human capital as the obvious but largely de-emphasised aspect of the rhetoric in Nigeria on accelerating economic growth in the Digital Age. There is a disconnect between the politics of our national aspirations and concerted sustained policy initiatives over the past 3 decades that questions the commitment of our leadership - political and business alike - to bringing about this change. Ther is adequate literature to show that "for an economy competing at the global frontier, an innovation-based growth strategy requires a well-developed technological infrastructure, a set of capabilities-focused technology policies, as well as an institutional environment that stimulates innovation and entrepreneurship." (Koh, Winston T.H. and Wong, Poh Kam) We must across Africa, and in particular its pivots of Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa (Morroco, Kenya and Cote d'voire also) anchor innovation-led growth on human capital primarily.

Findings from the Social Progress Index: US Statessocprog
The Social Progress Index: US States is an objective, transparent measure that compares quality of life in all 50 states. The Social Progress Index is meant to complement, not replace, economic measures like GDP per capita and Median Household Income. These measures only tell half the story about what life is really like for ordinary Americans. The Social Progress Index™ highlights the issues and the individuals that are invisible when only looking at changes in the economy. The Social Progress Imperative, a US-based nonprofit, created the index to help local officials, businesses and community organizations understand how well people are truly living, how economic changes are affecting quality of life, and what improvements can have the greatest impact on society.

2017 Indice de Progreso Social Informe Metodologicosocprog
Aunque existe una estrecha relación entre el desempeño económico, medido por el PIB PPA per cápita, 1 y el desempeño en el Índice de Progreso Social, algunos países logran un nivel de progreso social mucho más alto en comparación con países con un PIB per cápita similar. Por ejemplo, Nepal logra un puntaje de 60.08 en el índice de Progreso Social, con un PIB per cápita de $2,312, mientras
que Yemen, con un PIB per cápita de $2,649 logra apenas un 43.46. El Índice demuestra que el crecimiento económico no es suficiente para el progreso social. Países y comunidades que quieren mejores vidas para sus ciudadanos necesitan ir más allá del crecimiento económico a la hora de diseñar sus estrategias de desarrollo.

2017 Social Progress Index Findings Presentationsocprog
The 2017 Social Progress Index launched June 21. Though there is a strong relationship between economic performance, as measured by GDP PPP per capita, and performance on the Social Progress Index, some countries achieve much higher social progress relative to countries with similar GDP per capita. For example, Nepal scores 60.08 on the Social Progress Index with a GDP per capita of $2,312, while Yemen, with a GDP per capita of $2,649, scores only 43.46. The Index demonstrates that economic growth is not sufficient for social progress. Countries and communities that want better lives for their citizens need to go beyond economic growth alone in designing their development strategies.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

As an Army veteran dedicated to lifelong learning, I bring a disciplined, strategic mindset to my pursuits. I am constantly expanding my knowledge to innovate and lead effectively. My journey is driven by a commitment to excellence, and to make a meaningful impact in the world.

Development
• In both economic and business development our understanding of success has been incomplete
• There is a powerful connection between economic and social development, both positive and negative
• Separating business and competitiveness from social progress and societal issues is a serious mistake

4. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress4
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPENDS ON COMPETITIVENESS
• Competitiveness depends on the long-run productivity of a location as a
place to do business
- Productivity of existing firms and workers
- Ability to achieve high participation of working age citizens in the
workforce
• Competitiveness is not:
- Low wages
- A weak currency
- Jobs per se
A nation (or state) is competitive to the extent that firms operating there are able
to compete successfully in the regional and global economy while supporting
high and rising wages and living standards for the average citizen

• A series of indexes have been introduced to do so:
- Human Development Index
- Millennium Development Indicators
- Happy Planet Index
- OECD Better Life Indicators
- Legatum Prosperity Index

WHAT IS SOCIAL PROGRESS?
Social progress is the capacity of a society to
meet the basic human needs of its citizens,
establish the building blocks that allow citizens
and communities to enhance and sustain the
quality of their lives, and create the conditions
for all individuals to reach their full potential.

OVERALL SPI VS. GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURE (% OF GDP)
Government expenditure source: 2013 Index of Economic Freedom
31. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
THE SOCIAL PROGRESS INDEX: KEY FINDINGS
• Economic development is necessary but not sufficient as a
measure of national performance
• Some approaches to economic development are less effective
than others in advancing social progress, and even
counterproductive
• Just as economic development helps social progress, social
progress can enable sustainable economic development
• The amount of government spending (as a percent GDP) is an
incomplete explanation for social progress performance

THE SOCIAL PROGRESS IMPERATIVE: DRIVING TO ACTION
The Social Progress Imperative is not just an Index, but a
global effort designed to catalyze action at the country
level. It aims to form and support National Committees of
leaders and stakeholders in each country, and work jointly
with them to mobilize policy changes and private sector
initiatives.
36
37. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE
• Interpret and disseminate country level priorities for social
progress improvement
• Pursue policy changes in priority areas for social progress,
through cross-sector collaboration
• Foster improvements in local data collection and relevant
research

38. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
THE ROLE OF BUSINESS IN SOCIETY
• Only business can create wealth and prosperity
• Business is facing growing scrutiny as the cause or a
contributor to many of today’s societal challenges
• Corporate social responsibility efforts are greater than ever,
but the legitimacy of business has fallen
• Government and NGO’s alone lack sufficient resources
and capabilities to fully meet social challenges
We need a new approach
38
39. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
• Compliance with
community standards
• Good corporate
citizenship
• “Sustainability”
• Mitigate risk and
harm

CREATING SHARED VALUE IN PRODUCTS AND MARKETS
JAIN IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
41
• Drip irrigation equipment for small farmers in Africa and India
• Serves more than 4 million farmers worldwide as of 2012
• Reduces water use by over 40%
• Enables higher crop yields that improve food security while
raising farmers’ income
• Jain is now a $820 million company that is rapidly growing
42. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress42
SHARED VALUE IN THE VALUE CHAIN
FIBRIA, BRAZIL
• Fibria, a large manufacturer of pulp for paper, utilizes planted eucalyptus
trees rather than native and old growth forests
• The company supports and encourages small-scale producers near its mills
to plant eucalyptus in conjunction with other crops, assisting them with
technical training and inputs
• Fibria achieves far greater resource efficiency versus old growth forest
production, with eucalyptus yielding 30 times higher yield per acre of wood
pulp
• Small scale producers contribute 27% of the raw material volume utilized in
Fibria mills, improving efficiency
• 4000 households have significantly increased their income
43. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
Government
• Regulate how businesses
operate
• Operate social programs
• Tax businesses
PARTNERING FOR SHARED VALUE
NGOs
• Hold business accountable
• Seek donations
• Partner with business to implement
and scale shared value solutions
• Invest with companies, NGOs and
government to enable shared value
solutions
Foundations
• Donate to charitable causes
• Regulate to encourage market
solutions
• Partner to deliver shared value
solutions to social services
• Jumpstart market solutions through
minimum purchases or subsidies
• Invest in infrastructure to enable
shared value approaches (e.g. roads,
skills)
• Partner on business environment
improvements
Competitors
• “Brand” social initiatives

REDEFINING CORPORATE PURPOSE
DANONE
• Danone realized that it had drifted away from its origins as a manufacturer of healthy
foods
• Sold off its beer, meat and cheese units
• Refocused the company on dairy and water
• Acquired medical nutrition and baby foods businesses
• Created Innovation Committees in business units to provide “healthy food for as many
people as possible”
Bringing health through food to as many
people as possible by refocusing on four
complementary business lines and
expanding into fast-growing new regions
Vision Mission
The ‘dual economic and social’ project,
creating economic value by creating
social value
46
47. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
THE PURPOSE OF BUSINESS
• Our purpose in business is to create shared value for society, not economic
value for its own sake
• Businesses acting as businesses, not as charitable givers, are arguably the
most powerful force for addressing many of the pressing issues facing our
society
• Shared value will give rise to far broader opportunities for economic value
creation
• Shared value thinking will drive the next wave of innovation, productivity,
and economic growth
• A transformation of business practice around shared value will give purpose
to the corporation and represents our best chance to legitimize business
again
47
48. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
THE SOCIAL PROGRESS COMMITTEE IN PARAGUAY
48
• Paraguay has taken the lead among
countries applying the SPI as a formal
measure of national performance
• The government issued a Presidential
Decree on July 26, 2013, making the SPI
an official measure of national
performance

50. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
THE SOCIAL PROGRESS COMMITTEE IN PARAGUAY
50
• The local social progress committee has
already started work in three priority
areas
• If we get more of you to join the effort, we
could expand and deal with many more.
• These priorities are:
– Nutrition (meet the nutrtional needs of
1,000,000 additional paraguayans)
– Water and sanitation
– Shelter
51. Social Progress Imperative #socialprogress
THE ROLE OF BUSINESS IN SOCIAL PROGRESS
• Now it is time for business leaders in Paraguay to walk
alongside government in fostering social progress, in creating
many instances of shared value, and in developing the
competitive strategies that will lift this country to its full potential
• The new government creates an opportunity for a new public-
private relationship
