Steve Dow, partner at Sevin Rosin Funds in Dallas, told the New York Times in 2006 that “the VC model is broken.” A recent survey from executive search firm Polachi Inc. polled more than 100 venture capital executives, 70% of which were partners or managing partners. It found that a majority, 53% of respondents, indicated the venture capital industry is “broken.” With a less than receptive IPO market and the credit markets tightening down on M&A activities, VCs are finding few exits for their existing investments. PE shops are faced with refinancing over $300 billion of LBO debt over the next two years. Endowments and pension funds that serve as the limited partners firms are reassessing their investment in the entire asset class and are hamstrung by the denominator effect. Will this funding gap affect the US’ ability to develop new technologies and create new jobs? Many ask, “Why aren’t there more Googles” and “What will be the next big thing?” Personal computers were the catalyst in the 1980s, the internet was the catalyst in the 1990s and social networking has been a catalyst in recent years, but what will be the growth driver in the next decade? With this background, this presentation will discuss the golden years of private equity, the current environment and what the future holds for this industry and entrepreneurial activity.

Bank of America’s Corporate Social Responsibility and the Occupy Wall Street Movement1
Although Bank of America invested $268.8 billion in CSR-related activities in 2010, it was a leading target for the Occupy Wall Street protestors in 2011. In the middle of the Occupy Wall Street movement, two executives were trying to figure out how to formulate CSR plans for 2012.

“What do these people want from us?” Mary Turner, Global Strategy and Marketing Executive for Bank of America, looked outside her fourth floor window as Occupy Wall Street protesters marched on the sidewalk in front of the bank in October 2011. Anne was preparing to meet with Mark Smith, Global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Consumer Policy Executive, to discuss their recommendations to the board regarding 2012 CSR plans.
Public outcry demanded more and more from the bank, as it was repeatedly blamed for causing the 2008 mortgage crisis. Occupy Wall Street protesters marched with signs stating “We are the 99%” as a reminder of the distribution of wealth between the wealthiest 1% and the remainder of the population. Wealth distribution had become a growing and heated debate in 2011. The week before, a group of protestors had briefly taken over a Los Angeles branch demanding that Bank of America help resolve state budget deficits. The bank was forced to call in police to protect its customers, employees, and property. Trash recovered from a foreclosed home was dumped on the lawn of some bank executives. Consumers were being encouraged to close accounts at big banks and open accounts at credit unions. Protestors seemed to believe that corporate greed was the root cause of America’s financial crisis. This public outcry for the banks to be more socially responsible was threatening their ability to do business.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
