ADRESSING THE TRIPLE BOTTOM-LINE: THE HOLISTIC DETECON TRANSFORMATION APPROACH FOR INTEGRAL BUSINESS
Global trends and transformations in society and the environment are having an increasingly important impact on companies and their business processes. If they are to meet successfully the social, technological, and environmental challenges facing them, companies must rethink their current business models, structures, and methods and adapt them to changes in general conditions. Detecon interprets corporate responsibility as the productive utilization of integrated management and technology know-how from a commercial and social viewpoint.

Integral Transformation Process
Detecon Approach: Integral Business Model
The Detecon approach helps companies to assume and integrate varying viewpoints. Being able to respond appropriately to global trends and changes requires an integral transformation process. Companies collaborate with and for their employees, customers, society, and the environment to develop new ideas and solutions.
Transformation and Optimization at the Forefront
The Detecon services in the area of “Integral Business” encompass a broad range of subjects in which transformation and optimization represent the key fields of action.

Go green has become an important aspect of every industry and sustainability reporting has become a responsibility of every business, though profit maximization is the primary objective, many companies believe in Eco friendly environment operation. Technology has brought tremendous change, it has made both positive and negative impact on every sector and banking sector is the most dynamic in technological transformation. Information technology is one of the most important facilitator for transformation of Indian banking in terms of its transactions processing as well as for various other internal systems and processes. Green banking is an emerging concept for environmental sustainability which means promoting environment friendly practices for sustainable growth and reduces the carbon footprint from the banking industry. Green banking is considered as one of the tools for ensuring sustainable development where economic activity will not have any negative impact on the environment. Though it is believed that banking sector does not harm the environment but it impacts the environment in terms of excessive paper work, energy consumption such as lighting, air conditioning, etc, Green banking is all about going beyond to keep the world Eco environment without any significant damage. And this study is an attempt to understand the concept of Green banking and also to review the research carried in this field.

Africa Information Highway Live Exchange #Session 7
8 October 2021
The AIH Live Exchange between the Africa Information Highway Team, partners and countries is a free monthly webinar hosted by the African Development Bank to discuss topics related to government data and statistics. This webinar series is the main platform for countries to share their experiences and best practices around open data including using their Open Data Platform of the AIH.
This session is co-organized with the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) which is a mission-driven Research and Technology Organization (RTO) that develops advanced technologies and delivers innovative products and services to industry and society. These innovations can also be used to solve several societal challenges, particularly in the areas of the environment, security, education and culture, sustainable development, as well as the efficient use of resources.
Official statistical data are recognized as high-value datasets for the society and economy, to enrich research, inform decision making or develop new products and services. The use of these authoritative data sources contributes to building a society with more empowered people, better policies, more effective and accountable decision-making, greater participation and stronger democratic mechanisms.
Official statistics are produced to be used and re-used to make an impact on society through a higher degree of openness and transparency while ensuring confidentiality and, at the same time, providing equal access to information to citizens.
The value of data lies in its use and re-use. In this interactive webinar, you will learn new techniques to improve the use and re-use of your statistical data, going beyond the provision logic and adopting the ecosystem mindset. You will:
● Sharpen your capacity at identifying and engaging users and re-users and stakeholders (data ecosystem mapping)?
● Effectively tackle technical and organizational barriers to stimulate data use and re-use?
● Smartly orchestrate a self-sustainable data ecosystem to increase the impact of statistical data.
This session is an opportunity for Regional members countries to '' Sharpen their skills in making data used and re-used by developing an ecosystem mindset to effectively build sustainable community of users around their Open Data Platform thus promoting transparency and better decision-making”
Technology breakthroughs, reversal of deregulation and dynamic markets are impacting the banking industry. Non-banking players such as mobile operators and Internet startups are also offering similar products and solutions. This is forcing the banks to be more innovative and proactive in their operations and risk management measures. Mindtree leverages its extensive domain and technical expertise, to deliver solutions for the world’s leading banks and financial institutions. The proprietary frameworks help accelerate solution development and implementation. We enable the bank’s IT organization to provide reliable, predictable and scalable services to its business users and end consumers.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
