TacklingPovertyNZ Sustaining and Empowering Factors FrameworkMcGuinness Institute
At each of the TacklingPovertyNZ 2016 national tour workshop, participants were asked to develop specific, actionable suggestions for how to address poverty. As a result of the tour’s six workshops, 240 ‘hows’ were identified. In the process of reviewing the ‘hows’, we created the Sustaining and Empowering Factors Framework. This framework enabled us to divide the 240 ‘hows’ to correspond with sustaining factors (which relate to an individual’s short-term survival and security needs) and empowering factors (which relate to the empowerment of an individual, community or nation). We then grouped these ‘hows’ by similarity, producing 33 sub-factors for analysis. The sub-factors are terms we have created to align with the voices we heard on tour.

In 2014 UNDP launched the Innovation Facility to support innovation in addressing development challenges. The Innovation Facility was made possible with the generous contribution of the Government of Denmark and co-investments from UNDP’s core resources.
This review lays out why innovation is becoming increasingly important in international development and for UNDP. It describes our approach to innovation as well as brief descriptions of the initiatives funded by the Innovation Facility in 2014, though many more UNDP projects not highlighted in this report embraced and tested novel methods. UNDP has invested over time in the uptake of new ways of doing business and over the past three years has invested in strategically exploring innovation under the motto “innovation happens in practice.” Through the Innovation Facility we strive to accelerate this approach by putting innovation in development solutions on a new trajectory.
How to transition Pakistan towards a knowledge based economyMoazzam Husain
In this new race, economic competition among nations will be less on physical assets and more on knowledge assets. Pakistan must take urgent and substantive steps to build its ecosystem and knowledge culture to leapfrog ahead. What needs to be done? In my course on Marketing Strategies for Emerging Economies, Summer 2019 students of the Institute of Business Management, Karachi, Pakistan were asked to come up with recommendations. This is an example of some of the best work submitted.

TalentNZ Workshop at the NZ Community Boards Conference - 15 and 16 May 2015McGuinness Institute
We recently ran a TalentNZ session at the New Zealand Community Boards Conference in the Bay of Islands (15 and 16 May 2015). The theme of the Conference was ‘Influencing Change’, and it brought together local community board members, mayors, councillors, council staff and other persons who are interested in making a difference in their communities from throughout the country. Our session discussed the role of strategy and why a focus on creating a place where talent wants to live will deliver optimal outcomes for New Zealand. During the session we gave participants five worksheets to further develop their thinking around creating a talent-based economy in their communities. These worksheets are available on our website www.mcguinnessinstitute.org

On Wednesday, 5 October 2016 Wendy McGuinness spoke at the University of Auckland's politics hour.
The theme of the discussion was regarding the ethical dilemmas faced by policy advisors. Speakers were encouraged to share their experience or advice with students regarding how to be an 'ethical' policy adviser.
The ultimate aim of this session was to inspire students, but to also highlight the challenges that lie ahead, and allow students an insight into how political practitioners can achieve change but sometimes have to compromise.

For German Philosopher Martin Heidegger, “To be a work means to set up a world , and holds truth: Truth, as the
clearing and concealing of beings, happens in being composed.” Taking an adult-centered online course as “the
work” and a metaphor for a constructed world, the author uses an interdisciplinary approach to discuss the development of adults as learners.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

Panel 4: Civics, citizenship and political literacy
(exploring two questions)
1. How can we advance citizenship when we no longer have
shared national curriculum and have a focus on local learning
needs?
2. How can we advance common ideas of justice and fairness and
citizenship without imposing views?
2. Stages in Civics
1. Mindset – ‘I feel and I can’ – empowerment and
engagement
2. Listening – ‘I hear and I do’ – reflection and
consideration
3. Agreement – ‘we know why’ – getting
agreement in terms of the nature of problem or
the opportunity
4. Mandate – ‘we know how’ – getting consensus in
terms of the strategy and the implementation
