Padang & Co and The Pilot Project conducted a 3-hour Design Thinking session for 60 participants as a pre-session to the 2015 Clean & Green Hackathon for Singapore's National Environment Agency. The purpose was to help Singapore become a truly clean, zero waste nation by creating solutions to enable behavioral or mindset change regarding recycling and waste. The session introduced Design Thinking and provided a method for participants to observe issues, develop insights, and generate ideas. Participants then presented their top ideas. The Hackathon itself was held the following weekend where 25 teams developed solutions to the challenges of recycling and waste.
This document provides an overview of a presentation on how to randomize participation and ensure regulatory compliance in impact evaluations using randomized control trials. It discusses options for the unit of randomization like individual vs group levels. It also covers real-world constraints to consider like resources, politics, contamination, and logistics. Methods of randomization presented include basic lotteries, phase-in designs where the treatment is rolled out over time, and encouragement designs for situations where full randomization is not possible. The document also discusses multi-arm RCTs, varying treatment levels, and stratification.
This document discusses managerial decision making. It describes the classical and administrative models of decision making and notes that in reality, managers have incomplete information due to uncertainty, risk, time constraints, and other factors. The document outlines the steps in decision making and discusses cognitive biases and groupthink that can negatively impact decisions. It emphasizes that developing a learning organization through techniques like developing shared visions and systems thinking can help address these challenges.
The document discusses gap analysis and improvement tactics for environmental, health, and safety (EH&S) programs. It outlines how an analysis can identify gaps in areas like waste management, inventory, permits, safety, and emergency response. Common issues include lacking or outdated documentation, reactive approaches, and not fully understanding regulatory requirements. The analysis also considers budget impacts and provides immediate tactics to address issues. Case studies demonstrate how onsite support programs can help organizations improve compliance, prepare for inspections, and benefit from ongoing review and updates to procedures.
The document provides an overview of several quality tools including brainstorming, check sheets, priority matrices, cause-and-effect diagrams, in-depth analysis, Pareto charts, and flow charts. It describes the purpose, benefits, and basic process for conducting each tool. For brainstorming, it outlines the types, phases, and advantages. For check sheets, it provides an example template. For cause-and-effect diagrams, it shows an example fishbone diagram. And for Pareto charts, it illustrates how to construct one and identify the major causes of issues.
The document presents a proposal for an automated recycling bin called the Recyclinator. It would have 5 compartments to separate items into paper, plastic, glass, metal, and other. Sensors and a scale would determine where to sort each item thrown in. Possible extras include an energy converter and automatic dispenser. Risks include higher production costs than normal bins. Rewards are increased recycling, reduced labor, and cost savings. Ways for it to pay for itself include creating energy, positive community/company image, and money from recycling industries. Sketches of the bin design are included.
The document discusses options for reforming the process of awarding Honorary Life Memberships (HLM) at the university.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

• Week Six, Term One, 2015-16 Year
– 61 Ideas currently live
– 147 Ideas in total so far
– 110 Proposers in total so far
– 8,580 votes cast in total so far
• This is a four-fold increase year-on-year
5. Process Decision (1 of 4)
• Student Ideas is very active!
– This is positive in terms of engagement and
participation, however:
– It is high impacting on Guild Council itself.
– To cope with the number of Ideas, Council is not
taking the time that some of you would like to take on
each Idea.
– This is leading to a high number of neutral Ideas
being failed at Council which will erode trust, both in
Ideas and in Council itself.
6. Process Decision (2 of 4)
• ‘Volume’ Problem
– At Handover we warned that Council might not be able to cope
with an increase in numbers, which the existing Councillors felt
was not a problem
– Last year’s Council barely coped with the number that came
through all year.
– This year’s Council now faces that same number, all finishing
before week 9 of term one.
– Without permanently extending Council’s working hours (which
we should not do since you were not elected to do that number
of hours)…
– Council needs to revisit a couple of decisions to lighten your own
workload and allow you to take difficult decisions on the
‘problem’ Ideas
7. Process Decision (3 of 4)
• Classifying Ideas:
– Change Agent Projects – a new addition, and not something that was
intended to be a part of Council’s workload at all except in the case of
failing projects.
– Automatic Fails – we advised Council to just let these fail – we can
assist students with becoming Change Agents should they wish to,
without Council needing to reserve time for projects that won’t happen
otherwise.
– Neutral (1 pass / 3) – these Ideas are likely to fail, but Council may
decide some are important; and needs time to discuss them properly.
– Neutral (2 pass / 3) – these Ideas are more likely to pass, but Council
still needs time to discuss them properly.
– Automatic Pass – these Ideas shouldn’t be failed unless they are
impossible to do – the Sabbatical Officers would be as able to discern
that in practice as readily as Council can at the time of debate. Sabbs
would then have to justify the failure to Council anyway.
8. Process Decision (4 of 4)
• Proposal
– Change Agent Projects – not on the Agenda unless failing.
– Automatic Fails (0 pass / 3) – not on the Agenda.
– Neutral (1 pass / 3) – Council decision – on the Agenda.
– Neutral (2 pass / 3) – Council decision – on the Agenda.
– Automatic Pass (3 pass / 3) – these Ideas shouldn’t be failed
unless they are impossible to do – the Sabbatical Officers would
be as able to discern that in practice as Council can at the time
of debate. Not on the Agenda unless failing.
– Councillors can still become Change Agents for any Idea by
putting themselves forward when it’s being voted on – for
the very small number where this might happen Council’s
time should be cleared.
9. Process Decision (VOTE)
• Vote
– GREEN: Immediately implement this change to focus
on Neutral Ideas in Council.
– YELLOW: Abstain.
– RED: Keep status quo arrangements, and extend
Council times permanently.
10. Christmas Break
• Last year Ideas was open throughout
December
– Council had an existing backlog, and needed two
emergency meetings to clear Idea that had been
waiting longer than a month to be processed.
– Some Ideas had been waiting for 6 weeks to be voted
on. The communication point is now 21 days – this
would force a communication stating Council hadn’t
met to discuss an Idea for all Ideas over this period.
– This can be avoided in the same way problems with
Term 3 were – by closing Ideas at the right times.
11. Christmas Break (VOTE)
• Info
– Final guild Council is 9 December.
– Last Idea for this Council would close 8 December.
• Vote
– GREEN: Close Student Ideas on 24 November.
– YELLOW: Close Student Ideas on final day of term,
and extend voting period to exam week.
– RED: Keep status quo arrangements, Council to have
emergency meetings to handle any backlog.
