501 Commons Washington State Nonprofit Technology Needs Survey501 Commons
The Washington Nonprofit Technology Needs Survey was distributed to 2,567 nonprofit organizations in the State of Washington. The survey was open to individuals in a wide array of positions at a wide array of nonprofits across the state. The nonprofits represented were diverse in industry-focus, size, and location in the state of Washington.
The survey had a response rate of approximately 15%, which is considered an adequate sample, and a total of 392 respondents. Of these respondents, 91% were reached through 501 Commons’ contact list. The other 9% were reached through a separate survey, which was distributed to nonprofits not associated with 501 Commons.
The following were the objectives of the survey:
Gain an understanding of Washington nonprofit technology use trends.
Identify key opportunities given technology needs identified by Washington nonprofits.
Understand how Washington nonprofit technology planning operates as a subset of their strategic planning.
Provide feedback to 501 Commons on their performance in the marketplace.

A successful collaboration strategy includes technology, process alignment, and the user experiences. However, organizations tend to focus the most on technology, and the least on people -- when the opposite should be true. As this presentation explains, culture is the key to any successful collaboration strategy.

The Well-Connected Employee: Networking Competencies That Foster Engagement, ...HRDQ-U
In a survey of 2000 employees from many different organizations, only 20% said, “Yes, I have the network I need to get the job done.” Unconnected employees hurt your business when they fail to see the big picture, don’t’ know how to uncork bureaucratic bottlenecks, and don’t contribute to enterprise-wide results.
In this webinar, you’ll explore The 8 Networking Competencies that are needed by almost everyone, in almost every job type, at almost every level and are survival skills for The Network-Oriented Workplace (The NOW). These skills are learned over time, not overnight. And we’ll look at how to design an enterprise-wide strategy that supports the growth of employee social acumen to build the organization’s social capital and fuel future growth.

Assessing Your Current DesignOps Practice: A Heuristic Model - Dave MaloufWeb à Québec
Many companies are finding that they are being asked to add a DesignOps practice to their existing design organizations. This is great news, because by adding an operational mindset, and putting intentional design to one’s design operations, only better design will happen, which is the point, eh?
But how can I measure and communicate success? How do I even know what success is? How can I prioritize, and roadmap planning, and growth of my DesignOps practice?
In this lecture, I will propose a system that can be easily deployed and even customized so that as a design leader or a DesignOps leader you can show anyone in your company where you are at and where you are going to be working to mature practice and why.

Audience Research on a Dime - Nonprofit of InfluenceCourtney Clark
You need it. You know you do. Audience research is a vital part of any project, but it’s often the first thing to be cut. “We know our audiences well enough,” they say. “We know what they want.” But is that true?
No! Of course not! If we knew what audiences wanted, we’d have an excess of donations, volunteers, newsletter subscribers, and report readers, and we wouldn’t be having conversations about how to get audiences to act or increase awareness.
During this session, you’ll learn about:
- My favorite lean audience research methods and why they’re awesome
- How to convince your boss that audience research is necessary
- How to conduct audience research when you have zero resources
By the end, you’ll have what you need to do some quick and dirty audience research and convince others that it’s necessary!

Named similarly as Doug Purdy's PDC 2010 session on oData, this OpenData for the Open Web session tries to explain how WCF Data Service with oData offers an accelerated path towards building a public API.
The Web has been and should be open in almost all sense of the word: the web can be openly consumed from various clients, and through hyperlinking; the web allows the association of different documents across technological boundaries. The trend shouldn’t stop here.
Web based API have and will continue to play a huge role in making sure that the web opens up even more. You will learn on how to take part of this movement in your own projects utilizing oData protocol. We will also talk about to why oData offer serious advantages than writing your own custom API specification to share your data.
We will also talk about some of the opportunities that is opened up to us by using it. In this era of Cloud computing (the emergence of strong SaaS player like Facebook and Twitter), software is starting to become of a commodity and data becomes more and more precious – it’s important for us developers to understand the shift.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

The Challenges of Good Governance and Project Implementation in Nigeria: A Re...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study reveals that systemic corruption and other factors including poor leadership,
leadership recruitment processes, ethnic and regional politics, tribalism and mediocrity, poor planning, and
variation of project design have been the causative factors that undermine projects implementation in postindependence African states, particularly in Nigeria. The study, thus, argued that successive governments of
African states, using Nigeria as a case study, have been deeply engrossed in this obnoxious practice that has
undermined infrastructure sector development as well as enthroned impoverishment and mass poverty in these
African countries. This study, therefore, is posed to examine the similarities in causative factors, effects and
consequences of corruption and how it affects governance, projects implementation and national growth. To
achieve this, the study adopted historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. The
study among others suggests that the governments of developing countries should shun corruption and other
forms of obnoxious practices in order to operate effective and efficient systems that promote good governance
and ensure there is adequate projects implementation which are the attributes of a responsible government and
good leadership. Policy makers should also prioritize policy objectives and competence to ensure that policies
are fully implemented within stipulated time frame.

Non-Financial Information and Firm Risk Non-Financial Information and Firm RiskAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This research aims to examine how ESG disclosure and risk disclosure affect the total risk of
companies. Using cross section data from 355 companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange, data regarding
ESG disclosure and risk was collected. In this research, ESG and risk disclosures are measured based on content
analysis using GRI 4 guidelines for ESG disclosures and COSO ERM for risk disclosures. Using multiple
regression, it is concluded that only risk disclosure can reduce the company's total risk, while ESG disclosure
cannot affect the company's total risk. This shows that only risk disclosure is relevant in determining a
company's total risk.

Exploring Factors Affecting the Success of TVET-Industry Partnership: A Case ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the success of TVET-industry
partnerships. A case study design of the qualitative research method was used to achieve this objective. For the
study, one polytechnic college of Oromia regional state, and two industries were purposively selected. From the
sample polytechnic college and industries, a total of 17 sample respondents were selected. Out of 17
respondents, 10 respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method, and the rest 7 respondents were
selected using the purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data were collected through an in-depth
interview and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic approaches. The findings revealed that
TVET-industry partnerships were found weak. Lack of key stakeholder‟s awareness shortage of improved
training equipment and machines in polytechnic colleges, absence of trainee health insurance policy, lack of
incentive mechanisms for private industries, lack of employer industries involvement in designing and
developing occupational standards, and preparation of curriculum were some of the impediments of TVETindustry partnership. Based on the findings it was recommended that the Oromia TVET bureau in collaboration
with other relevant concerned regional authorities and TVET colleges, set new strategies for creating strong
awareness for industries, companies, and other relevant stakeholders on the purpose and advantages of
implementing successful TVET-industry partnership. Finally, the Oromia regional government in collaboration
with the TVET bureau needs to create policy-supported incentive strategies such as giving occasional privileges
of duty-free import, tax reduction, and regional government recognition awards based on the level of partnership
contribution to TVET institutions in promoting TVET-industry partnership.
