Aligning HR & Finance: How ReddyIce Transformed to Market Leader
Effectively managing resources is challenging for any company, and a lack of visibility into information on operational factors that impact margins and drive demand makes it nearly impossible. Despite the fact that companies dedicate 36 percent of revenues to human capital, many accept having less than 20/20 vision into the return they’re getting from this huge investment. How are companies leveraging technology to enable systems across the enterprise (from HR to Finance) to communicate with each other to deliver the real-time information company leaders need to optimize company investments, and the consumption of company resources.
Join us as Elliott Lester, VP of IT at ReddyIce shares how his company was able to leverage enterprise-wide visibility to break down operational silos, transform processes, improve product margins, and develop actionable metrics to drive the allocation of key company resources to transform from a company on the brink of extinction to a market leader with sustainable competitive advantage.

The document discusses the link between migration and innovation from a development perspective. It defines innovation as new solutions introduced into a market or company. Important factors that foster innovation include exchange, integration into international networks, and mobility of skilled people. Migrants can contribute to innovation through investment channels like remittances and joint ventures, as well as through knowledge and network transfers. The influencing factors include conditions in both the country of origin, like education quality, and country of destination, such as immigration policy and discrimination levels. Examples of programs that promote investment and return of skilled diaspora are discussed from Honduras, Armenia, and Serbia.

This document outlines a planned research cooperation between Mewael Kiros of ASSEFA and the Technische Universität München on conservation agriculture and cover crops. The cooperation aims to optimize the use of subsidiary crop applications in rotations to make conservation agriculture more effective. Key aspects of conservation agriculture discussed are disturbing the soil as little as possible, keeping the soil covered as much as possible, and mixing and rotating crops. The expected impacts include reduced greenhouse gas emissions, increased biodiversity, lower production costs, and social impacts. The cooperation also involves introducing conservation agriculture and cover crops in northern Ethiopia through a project called CoNEt.

This document discusses how Ethiopia has experienced significant brain drain over the past few decades but is now working to turn that into brain gain by leveraging its diaspora experts. It notes that Ethiopia lost 75% of its skilled workforce between 1980-1991 and now has over 300,000 professionals residing outside of Africa. To address shortages of academics and challenges in higher education from increasing student numbers, Ethiopia is using technology like video conferencing and establishing diaspora organizations to facilitate remote supervision, mentoring, knowledge transfer and short visits by experts abroad. This allows diaspora members to contribute without permanent return and helps turn migration from a brain drain into a brain gain for Ethiopia's development.

This document discusses how migration can catalyze innovation. It provides examples of how migrating animals, cultures, and people throughout history have led to new ideas and changes in perception. Migration triggers five key innovation skills: association, questioning, observing, networking, and experimenting. The document advocates being willing to think outside the box in order to escape obvious patterns of thought.

The document discusses using information and communication technologies (ICT) to enhance the quality of education in Africa. It notes that current education focuses too much on theory and memorization without real-life application and technology. This has led to high youth unemployment. The proposal is to use ICT like smartphones and mobile networks to provide more engaging education focusing on creativity, collaboration, and subjects like math, English, and entrepreneurship. It would use incentives like games and student ambassadors for scalability. Partnerships with governments, institutions, NGOs and companies could help achieve this vision of filling Africa's digital gap through improved technology-enabled education.
