Radhika has completed an online graduate course from the University of Pennsylvania called "Design: Creation of Artifacts in Society" taught by Professor Karl T. Ulrich. The course emphasized the basic design process of defining problems, exploring solutions, selecting the best option, and refining it. Students had to apply these concepts to solve real problems through lectures and design challenges. This statement of accomplishment is not a University of Pennsylvania degree and does not verify the student's identity or enrollment at the university.
This document summarizes key ideas from a presentation given by Bob Johansen from the Institute for the Future to Extension Directors and Administrators. Some of the main ideas discussed include:
- The world is becoming more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA).
- Emerging technologies like cloud computing and networks will transform learning and leadership.
- Innovation can come from diverse communities and engaging with them authentically.
- Sustainability must be integrated with business strategies to address issues like human well-being, natural resources and governance.
- New forms of cooperation and collective intelligence enabled by technology will shift focus to skills that leverage groups of people.

We must know where we have been to know where we are. Use of historical method, as the two examples show, can clarify extant theory, resolve controversies and contribute to the development of new theory.

ORGANIZATIONAL AND RESOURCE DIMENSIONS IN IMPLEMENTATIONTANKO AHMED fwc
Strategy implementation has resource management as pivotal challenge where planning assumptions faces situational realities of organizations. This paper discusses organizational and resource dimensions in strategy implementation process. It defines and describes the often neglected dynamic, iterative and complex nature of implementation process in the difficult terrain of actualizing organizational goals. Literature in organizational and management studies often under conceptualizes implementation as plain execution process with implications for inadequacy in strategic context. However, theories of organization, resource management and strategy implementation tend to accommodate an integrative framework for the hierarchy of strategic and managerial decisions and actions. The paper investigates into this literature deficit to enhance the strategic aptitude of middle and higher executives in handling organizational and resource dimensions in implementation. A simulation exercise is designed for participants of the Policy Strategy and Leadership Course to practice on the application of strategy implementation in real world situations.

Antonio Sant'Elia was an Italian architect and key member of the Futurist movement in early 20th century architecture. Between 1912-1914, he created a series of visionary drawings called "Città Nuova" depicting a modern city of the future as a "gigantic machine" with structures connected by highways, railways, and multi-level streets. Sant'Elia advocated for an architecture without ornamentation that embraced new materials and circulation. Though he built no structures, his dynamic sketches influenced later architects and films like Blade Runner through their depiction of vertical, mechanized cities.
QUAIL FARMING AND THE STRATEGY OF PRODUCTIVE TIME MANAGEMENT: AN EXPERIENCE O...TANKO AHMED fwc
Civil servants could employ business strategy and utilize their available time for profitable venture like quail farming. This paper discusses way and means of employing strategy to plan and benefit from time management and profitable ventures. The concepts and theories of business enterprise are adopted in the construction of entrepreneurship attitude among civil servants working for government and communities in Nigeria. A case study of quails farming provides lessons and templates for hard work and reward in viable ventures. The paper strongly recommends the inculcation of entrepreneurship among individuals and in government programmes, particularly in developing countries like Nigeria.
Geoffrey Bawa was a pioneering Sri Lankan architect known for developing tropical modernism. He fused vernacular architecture with modern concepts to create buildings suited for Sri Lanka's climate and culture. Some of his most notable works include the Parliament of Sri Lanka building and buildings for the University of Ruhuna, both of which respected the local context through use of traditional materials, forms, and spatial arrangements while employing modern design principles. Bawa is recognized for adapting architecture to sensitively fit the tropical environment and local traditions of Sri Lanka.
INCLUSIVE EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA: A KEYNOTE DISCOURSE TANKO AHMED fwc
The new Sustainable Development Goal No. 4 upholds inclusive education as indisputable platform for sustainable development. This keynote discourse addresses the importance of inclusive education for sustainable development to experts, practitioners, policy makers and beneficiaries. The paper keys into current literature trend and extends the motto of the Inclusive Community Education Development Association: ‘community is the answer’ with the rider, ‘what is the question?’. Traditional challenges posed by rigid conceptual and theoretical approaches to education for sustainable development are moderated with available navigational tools for practitioners in support of the current agenda on outreach plans, policies and projects. The way forward includes sense for purpose, mapping new paths, innovative dialogue, strengthening of policies, clear strategies and advocacy. Recommendations proffered include the need to alleviate challenges and utilize opportunities in the implementation of conventions, policies and programmes on inclusive education for sustainable development.
