1) Organizational social capital refers to relationships between employees, between employees and the organization, and between organizations. It is an asset that grows the more it is used through trust and cooperation.
2) Social capital is important for individual and organizational growth by opening opportunities, overcoming barriers, and allowing employees to focus on goals. It develops through communication, relationships, stability, interdependence, interaction, and community.
3) While social capital provides benefits, high levels can also lead to insularity if it discourages new ideas and cooperation with outsiders. Measuring social capital helps identify gaps and ways to enhance relationships within an organization.

The document discusses three major challenges facing higher education institutions: 1) Developing highly qualified people (HQP) who have social impact; 2) Acting as agents of community resilience and development; 3) Making a difference through evidence, capacity building and knowledge.
To address these challenges, the author argues that institutions must focus less on rankings and more on engaging communities, requiring students to contribute socially, promoting lifelong learning and strategic foresight, and aligning resources to build knowledge hubs that support community development and resilience.
By taking these steps, the author believes institutions can reduce inequality, increase social mobility and engagement, expand learning opportunities, and better demonstrate their accountability and relevance through real outcomes and impacts.

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
