The document discusses how workplaces are changing and the need to redefine office spaces. It notes that employees are more willing to change jobs or consider new opportunities. Traditional offices focused on command and control but now must cultivate collaboration. Face time remains important for collaborating, motivating staff and strengthening relationships. Offices should provide safety, connection, vision/feedback, resources, diversity, focus areas and sanctuaries. A mix of private, team and social spaces is needed. Well-designed workplaces can attract employees, partners and customers by expressing the organization's values through the building. The office building type should support how people work with flexibility.
Busting agile myths_v1
This document provides an overview of a webcast presentation given by Scott W. Ambler from IBM on busting myths about agile development. The presentation explores results from several surveys on agile practices. Some key findings presented include that agile teams have around a 70% success rate compared to 66% for traditional teams, and that agile is being used for teams of all sizes, with distributed teams, and in regulated environments. The presentation provides context using the Agile Scaling Model and examines myths around scaling agile. It aims to show that agile can work for many different situations beyond just small, co-located teams on simple projects.

This document discusses reference thresholds in biometric authentication systems. It explains that reference thresholds are used to determine if a person is genuine or an imposter based on comparing a biometric sample to a stored template. The selection of an optimal reference threshold value is important because it affects the false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR). The document also outlines factors that can influence FAR, FRR, and the reference threshold, such as biometric quality. It then provides mathematical definitions of reference thresholds, FAR, and FRR, and explains how they are calculated in practice using an example of palm print authentication.

Environmental Product Stewardship in Emerging and Transitioning Markets
Product Stewardship is an environmental management strategy that means whoever designs, produces, sells, or uses a product takes responsibility for minimizing the product's environmental impact throughout all stages of the products' life cycle, including end of life management. The greatest responsibility lies with whoever has the most ability to affect the full life cycle environmental impacts of the product. This is most often the producer of the product, though all within the product chain of commerce have roles. This presentation covers EPS drivers and regulations, then takes a deeper look at what this looks like in emerging and transitioning economies in countries like India, South Africa, Indonesia, Singapore, China, Mexico, Peru, and Brazil.
Natural Capital Roadmap
Australia’s food and land use system faces
a storm of converging pressures. The world’s
population is growing, expected to reach close
to 10 billion by 2050, and will have growing and
changing demands for food and fibre. At the
same time, the accelerating impacts of climate
change present major risks for farming – without
adaptive action climate change could reduce
agricultural productivity and farmer profitability
by up to 40-60 per cent by 2060i.
Meanwhile, competing demands could reduce
the amount of land available for food production.
This includes demands for timber production,
bioenergy, and urban and industrial development.
Climate change will also have profound impacts
on natural systems2. There is an urgent need for
land management changes to reduce emissions,
sequester carbon in soils, trees and other
vegetation, and to protect, restore and build
resilience of natural systems. How will we
meet these competing demands on a limited
land resource?
Producers of food, fibre and timber manage more
than half of Australia’s landmass, and are therefore
critical to any future change in land use3.
Awareness and adoption of sustainable
practices is increasing in the face of climate
risks, unreliable weather patterns, competition
for water, consumer concerns about health,
environmental and animal welfare impacts of
farming, and increasing accountability
demands from governments. Indeed, some of
the most innovative and inspiring examples
of sustainable food production and land use
originate in Australia.
The finance sector is also beginning to shift, with
investment in sustainable land use increasing
eightfold globally in the decade to 20154, and
$4.5 trillion annual global business opportunities
from investment in sustainable food and land use
identified by 20305.
This momentum is positive. However, a barrier
to improving the sustainability of land use is
the immaturity of tools and systems to enable
adequate, consistent measurement of ‘natural
capital’. These tools are a way to value the
environment and integrate this value as part
of land management, financial and policy
decision-making.

Natural Capital Accounting in the Caribbean eftec January 2021
This presentation, made at a UNEP GEF IWEco Project Partners' Webinar in January 2021, gave context on the conceptual underpinnings of natural capital accounting, and the general process by which the accounts are built. Links to international initiatives, such as the United Nations System of Environmental-Economic Accounting - Ecosystem Accounts (UN SEEA-EA), which provide a standardised understanding of how accounts should be produced (such as by National Statistics Offices), and the Sustainable Development Goals, were also explored. The practical application of natural capital accounting in the Caribbean was demonstrated through the UK Government funded “Caribbean Overseas Territories Regional Natural Capital Accounting Programme”. This programme is building capacity for natural capital accounting in the five Caribbean UK Overseas Territories, working with local government departments, and other local organisations, to collect data and produce environmental statistics within the natural capital accounting framework. These statistics will be able to sit alongside other national economic indicators, such as GDP, to help support better decision making in the region.

The document discusses natural capital accounting, which aims to quantify the value of natural resources and ecosystem services. It outlines the challenges of economic growth degrading the environment and notes that current systems do not reflect nature's invisibility and interdependence with human well-being. Natural capital accounting seeks to integrate environmental information into policies by valuing ecosystem services and changing incentives to reward stewardship of natural assets over the long run. The document provides definitions of natural capital and ecosystem services and describes different types of services like provisioning, regulating, cultural and supporting. It also discusses tools like ecosystem and inclusive wealth accounting that can reflect natural values in decision making.

This document discusses climate change adaptation in local governments and the need for leadership on this issue. It summarizes work done with local governments in Wales from 2008-2013 to raise awareness and implement adaptation actions. Case studies show where leadership has come from, such as from heads of departments. Tools developed include risk assessment templates and guidance. Regional coordination is still needed. Both good and bad examples of leadership are described. The document argues that building the business case for adaptation and communicating its impacts are important to further engage leaders.Similar to An Environmental Strategy For Katanga Mining (20)
