The impact of innovation on travel and tourism industries (World Travel Marke...Brian Solis
From the impact of Pokemon Go on Silicon Valley to artificial intelligence, futurist Brian Solis talks to Mathew Parsons of World Travel Market about the future of travel, tourism and hospitality.
We’re all trying to find that idea or spark that will turn a good project into a great project. Creativity plays a huge role in the outcome of our work. Harnessing the power of collaboration and open source, we can make great strides towards excellence. Not just for designers, this talk can be applicable to many different roles – even development. In this talk, Seasoned Creative Director Sara Cannon is going to share some secrets about creative methodology, collaboration, and the strong role that open source can play in our work.
Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…

Muslim Faith Leaders as Family Planning Champions: An Experience from KenyaJSI
This poster was presented at the International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) in Kigali, Rwanda in November 2018.
World Vision is implementing a USAID-funded Healthy Timing and Spacing of Pregnancies/Family Planning (HTSP/FP) Project through a grant from the Advancing Partners & Communities Project (APC) in Northeastern Kenya in Garba Tulla. Mothers attending antenatal and maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) services are responsive to discussions about HTSP and receiving voluntary FP care. Reaching male partners who accompany their wives at MNCH and antenatal visits is also an opportunity to provide men with FP counseling and contraceptive methods. The project aims to increase access to and demand for voluntary FP care through integrating FP/HTSP into MNCH care and promoting male and religious leader involvement in related discussions. By working with the Ministry of Health (MOH) at five health facilities, the project has supported 120 community health volunteers and rolled out a strategy to engage men and religious leaders to strengthen demand and use voluntary FP methods. FP information and services were also provided at MNCH, antenatal, and postnatal visits.
