2010 Sustainability In The Meeting Industrygmicoregon
This document discusses trends towards sustainability in the meetings industry. It notes that actions taken in the next few years will determine the industry's future as the effects of climate change accelerate. Several trends are already emerging that indicate the industry is transforming towards sustainability: 1) Corporations recognize sustainability as good business; 2) Consumers are more aware of sustainability issues; 3) Standards and certifications are becoming more established; 4) Reporting and measuring sustainability is growing. However, more action is needed to fully accelerate this transformation. Strategies suggested include understanding risks and opportunities, including sustainability in event planning, using existing frameworks, and influencing change.
This document outlines the strategic assessment of research priorities conducted by IRRI from 2010-2013. The assessment aimed to identify IRRI's highest potential areas to benefit the poor in Asia by evaluating 63 potential rice technology solutions across different agroecologies, regions, and types of solutions. Key findings included that total gains in Asian rice production from the technologies would not exceed current yield gaps, with attributable gains to international research estimated at 4.0-6.3%. Host plant resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, and inbred yield potential solutions showed among the highest total benefits and benefits to the poor based on modeling outcomes and effects at scale. The methodology and results provide guidance for research prioritization and fundraising by identifying tradeoffs across solutions.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

December 2012
• Launch and
implementation early
2013
Better lives through livestock
5. Mission and vision
ILRI envisions a world where all people have access
to enough food and livelihood options to fulfill their
potential.
ILRI’s mission is to improve food and nutritional
security and to reduce poverty in developing
countries through research for efficient, safe and
sustainable use of livestock—ensuring better lives
through livestock.
6. Strategic objectives
ILRI and its partners will develop, test, adapt and promote
science-based practices that—being sustainable and scalable—
achieve better lives through livestock.
ILRI and its partners will provide compelling scientific evidence
in ways that persuade decision-makers—from farms to
boardrooms and parliaments—that smarter policies and bigger
livestock investments can deliver significant socio-
economic, health and environmental dividends to both poor
nations and households.
ILRI and its partners will work to increase capacity amongst ILRI’s
key stakeholders and the institute itself so that they can make
better use of livestock science and investments for better lives
through livestock.

9. Are we in a matrix?
Typically used:
− Both technical (functional, product, or process) expertise and market / customer
expertise required
− Integration across functions and markets is required
− Large scope and scale across products and markets
Eg:Project based organisations where individuals report into a ‘home
group’ or ‘practice’, and to one or more projects

11. Managing the matrix structure
The formal structure alone isn’t enough to make it work well!
Some critical requirements are:
Clearly defined organisational framework
Well defined governance processes
Visible, consistent senior leadership and support
Coherent goals and performance measures aligned to corporate strategy and
priorities; use a strategic scorecard
Clear accountabilities and authorities
Create ‘doable’ roles that take into account the size and scope of the job
The right culture, behaviours and reward arrangements
12. Matrix
•Skills:Dual/multiple reporting can cause confusion/frustration but:
• Requires understanding by managers and implementers alike
• Listening, agreement
building, collaboration, negotiation, strategic thinking, self-
awareness
•Communication is key and cuts across every dimension
•Keys to success:
• Focus on organizational goals
• Know your stakeholders
• Collaborate don’t compete
• Get on the same wavelength
• Speak a number of “languages”
13. The reorganization
• Help us deliver BOTH ILRI-specific and CRP
commitments
• Flatten the structure, empower decisions
• Encourage integration and cross-disciplinary work
• Integrate through CRPs; and regions
• Learn through communities of practice
14. Principles
All staff in a primary home (“position”) but most work in several
cross cutting CRPs and some have assigned roles
Position:
Professional and administrative base for performance
management, priority setting, critical mass …
Each with a leader
Assigned roles:
CRP focal points
CRP component leaders
Regional Representatives

Mention who are decision makersWhat practicesMetrics: Over a 5–10-year time period, livestock-related real income for 2.8 million people is increased by 30%, the supply of safe animal-source foods in ILRI’s target sites/countries1 is increased 30%, and greenhouse gas emissions per unit of livestock product produced are reduced. Simultaneously, in partnership with others, these results are scaled to tens of millions more people.Metrics: Within a 10–15-year time frame, the share of agricultural budgets invested in livestock in ILRI’s target countries are brought at least 20% closer to livestock’s contribution to agricultural GDP. Increased investor contributions to the livestock sector should drive greater representation of livestock commodities in development efforts. Metrics to assess the underpinning changes in attitudes and behaviour will be defined based on learning from taking pilot studies to scale in target countries.Metrics: ILRI has not previously articulated capacity at this level or covering such a diversity of engagement, spanning both institutions and individuals from farmers to local and global decision-makers. ILRI will therefore conduct a baseline assessment before specifying the exact metrics for this third strategic objective; the metrics will specify the number of individuals and key institutions to have developed greater capacity to make greater use of livestock research results—be it for better productivity on farms, improved environmental management or more strategic use of development resourcesILRI’s use of the terms ‘practice’ and ‘decision-makers’ in this strategy encompasses a wide range of scales andgroups. The following are examples of these wide ranges in livestock systems with high potential for growth andin those where increasing resilience rather than productivity is paramount.Where there exists high potential for economic growth in mixed crop-and-livestock systems of developingcountries, ‘inclusive growth’ for poverty reduction and food security can often be achieved through thedevelopment of pro-poor livestock value chains. Here, improving practice refers to the uptake of technologiesand institutional innovations that (1) increase on-farm livestock productivity in smallholder productionsystems as well as (2) efficiencies in their associated market channels, (3) improve the equitable distribution ofbenefits generated through more livestock employment and income, and (4) minimize livestock threats to theenvironment and public health. The men and women decision-makers who adopt these practices include notonly the livestock keepers and market agents who handle livestock and their products, but also the individuals,businesses and government agencies that support the value chain through the products and services they supplysuch as feed, veterinary care and public health regulation.In dryland pastoral and agro-pastoral systems, where harsh and highly variable climates pose considerable riskof loss of livestock assets, both household income and food security can be protected against climate shocks byimproved practices. In the case of drought, these might include making index-based livestock insurance availableto livestock herders, conducting early de-stocking in conjunction with private traders, and making better useof functioning livestock markets. In the case of flooding, which can trigger outbreaks of economically importantlivestock and zoonotic diseases such as Rift Valley fever, better practice might entail more reliable predictiveclimate models used in conjunction with early livestock vaccination campaigns to prevent regional marketclosures able to devastate the livelihoods of livestock producers, traders and others. Changes in practice herewould depend on choices made by decision-makers including local men and women livestock pastoralists andagro-pastoralists, market agents and slaughterhouse personnel as well as those at regional and global levels whoseactions, policies and investment decisions impact small-scale dryland livestock systems and enterprises.Changes in practice thus spans a range of choices made by decision-makers at all levels, from livestock producers(men and women in both small scale and extensive production systems), to market agents and others intimatelyengaged with raising, selling and consuming animals and their products, through to those at local, regional andglobal levels whose development actions, policy and investment decisions impact the livestock sector.
