Metrics, Dashboards & Business Engagement for Workforce ProsKristin Wolff
This document provides an overview of a virtual learning session on expanding business engagement initiatives. It includes an agenda for the session that focuses on dashboards and metrics from Massachusetts, an effective practice profile from the National Association of Workforce Boards, and a question and answer period. Representatives from the US Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration and Social Policy Research Associates are listed as participating.
James L. Connaughton, Chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, wrote a letter to the editor defending the Bush administration's approach to climate change. He argues that the new climate report from the administration is consistent with previous statements from President Bush acknowledging human contributions to rising temperatures but also recognizing significant scientific uncertainties. Connaughton says Bush's policies of funding research and programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are appropriate given the current scientific understanding and aim to address climate change in a "serious and sensible" manner.
This document provides tips for new members of the KiSS identity marketing program to get started successfully. It recommends creating excitement by sharing your involvement on social media, understanding that consistent marketing is key, expanding your network by connecting with other members, marketing yourself as a leader, focusing on helping others, and having fun. The overall message is that simple and repetitive marketing through social networks can lead to exponential growth for the KiSS business opportunity.
The document summarizes a study on how people in Dhaka, Bangladesh and other parts of the country are coping with rising prices. It finds that most people are making cutbacks like reducing electricity usage, daily shopping, and social activities. In Dhaka, 21.1% take on part-time jobs, while 45% do so elsewhere. Respondents participate in entertainment but cut education expenses by hiring fewer tutors. To cope with healthcare costs, many avoid specialists. Most blame rising population and costs of living for inflation.
The document summarizes a Senate hearing where administration officials agreed that human activities have contributed to climate change but rejected mandating drastic emissions reductions. They support reducing the greenhouse gas intensity of the US economy by 18% over 10 years, but critics argue this allows emissions to increase. The officials acknowledged the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change but said models cannot precisely predict impacts.
This is the presentation we shared in our preconference session on storytelling at the National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB) Annual Forum 2010.
This document discusses social innovation and entrepreneurs. It notes that while social entrepreneurs aim to create social value, current systems have not fully adapted to support their work and scale can be a challenge. Emerging groups like hackers, makers and do-it-yourselfers are taking on social problems in grassroots ways. There is potential in crowd funding, government 2.0 champions, and new forms of civic engagement to support social innovators, but support systems still need to evolve to help social entrepreneurs scale their solutions.

Alternative reality games (ARGs) are interactive narratives that use transmedia storytelling across multiple platforms. They emerged in the late 1990s and were pioneered by games like The Beast, which promoted the film A.I. and involved thousands of players worldwide solving puzzles. ARGs are characterized by collaborative storytelling where players work together online to advance an immersive narrative in real time. Successful ARGs require subtle clues and realistic fictional worlds that blur the lines between game and reality.
This document discusses six superpowers of leadership: 1) Wide-Angle View, 2) Hyper Networked, 3) Radical Openness, 4) Relentless Experimentation, 5) Unique Value, and 6) Regeneration. It encourages developing these six qualities to become a strong leader, just as superheroes refuse to give up on saving people.
The document summarizes a press briefing where the White House press secretary discussed President Bush's views on climate change and a recent EPA report. When asked if the President disagreed with the EPA report's conclusion that climate change is likely due to human activities, the press secretary stated that on June 11th the President said that greenhouse gas concentrations have increased since the industrial revolution largely due to human activity, consistent with the National Academy of Sciences. The press secretary said the President was reflecting that news coverage of the EPA report did not accurately reflect what the report itself said regarding the President's views.
The EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman said she was not informed about an EPA report concluding that human activities were the primary cause of global warming before it was publicly released. While the report aligned with the views of many scientists, it seemed to contradict the Bush Administration's previous stances. Whitman learned about the report's findings when news organizations reported on it. The report may add controversy to international climate change discussions, including an upcoming UN conference that Whitman says she wants to attend as part of the US delegation.
