Discussion points and suggestions for thougth leaders - Ideas for a better worldSumit Misra
This document proposes ideas for creating a better world through both external and internal transformation. Externally, it suggests creating a non-aligned global administrative structure to address issues like poverty, corruption, and the environment. Internally, it advocates for individual transformation by cultivating virtues and reducing vices to establish unity and brotherhood. The document is meant to spur thoughtful discussion on pragmatic solutions that could be implemented with input from experts and authorities.
Impact investment focuses on creating both tangible and intangible assets that support a sustainable economy where people can survive and thrive. Traditionally, finance has measured tangible assets while philanthropy has built intangible assets, but this has led to environmental problems. Impact investment balances the drives for unity through empathy and self-actualization through empowerment to foster economic productivity in a way that considers knowledge, social systems, and the environment, not just financial returns.

Harvard: Integration of Social Responsibility in Financial Communities: Harva...DinarStandard
This is a summary presentation of a paper paper presented at the Harvard Islamic Finance Forum March 2010. The paper discusses how Islamic Finance has an opportunity to contextualize integration of social responsibility with its own unique approach--enabling significant positive social impact. The discussion points are inspired by the results of an extensive survey on Corporate Social Responsibility at Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) carried out by Dinar Standard and Dar Al Istithmar with the support of the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI). The paper focuses on Islamic perspective on corporate social responsibility and a framework for the Islamic Finance industry, but also includes assessment of progress made by conventional CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) and Social Entrepreneurship (SE) initiatives in order to learn from their successes and also to contribute back to global best practices.
The document discusses different types of hurdles that individuals face in life, including internal/self hurdles arising from one's mindset, external hurdles from interacting with others, and institutional hurdles imposed by society's rules and structures. It provides examples for each type and offers solutions such as developing a positive mindset, following cooperative and competitive strategies in interactions, and working within institutions to address issues. The document also mentions supernatural hurdles initiated by desires and the devil that can be countered through practices like zikr and charity in Islam.

The problems of labour and the renewal of socialism by colin burgessClive Burgess
This document outlines Marxist sociology's three levels of interaction within social reality: individual, organizational, and societal. At the individual level, a person's intellectual development bears the imprint of society and their activities express social practice. Organizations interact through processes like planning, behavior patterns, and guidelines. At the societal level, interactions involve themes like the market versus the state, human well-being, and language/culture. The levels show how individuals, organizations, and societies mutually influence one another over time.
This document outlines Clive Burgess's research on informal organizations and sociological concepts.

This document discusses sustainable development. It begins by defining sustainable development according to the UN as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It discusses the need for sustainable development to meet environmental, economic, and social goals simultaneously. Some key targets of sustainable development set by organizations like the UN and NITI Aayog in India include curbing environmental degradation, ensuring safe human life, and checking overexploitation of natural resources. The major pillars of sustainable development are the economy, society, and environment. Achieving sustainable development requires awareness campaigns, governance strategies, societal transformations, innovation, and capacity development. Environmental management is also essential.
Governance involves institutionalizing a system through which citizens, institutions, and groups exercise their rights and interests for the collective good, going beyond just government. Good governance principles include accountability, participation, rule of law, transparency. Social responsibility means businesses and individuals act to benefit society in addition to profit/shareholder value through legal, ethical, economic, and discretionary responsibilities. There is a strong link between good governance and social responsibility as governance encourages efficient resource use while requiring accountability and social responsibility aims to positively impact stakeholders. Multiple stakeholders can bring both conflict and convergence around these issues.
The document discusses several adverse childhood experiences such as abuse, neglect, substance abuse, violence, and parental mental illness or criminality that are associated with negative health and social outcomes. Research has found increasing risks for things like delinquency, bullying, fighting and weapons carried based on the number of adverse childhood experiences. Creating safe, stable and nurturing relationships and environments for children is important for preventing adverse experiences and their effects on long term well-being.
The document discusses the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and strategies for systemic change. It outlines critiques of the MDGs, including that they do not adequately address the structural causes of poverty like inequality, lack of sustainability, and lack of democratic participation. It proposes a framework for systemic change strategies that takes a holistic, people-centered approach to eradicating poverty through empowering individuals and communities, fostering cooperation between stakeholders, and promoting political action for just policies.
This document discusses community capacity building and adaptive challenges. It defines key terms like community and community capacity. It explains that community capacity building is a collaborative process that strengthens a community's ability to act on its own behalf. The document outlines different types of change, from incremental to transformational. It discusses elements of change like shifting perceptions and the adaptive dilemma of declining resources and increasing demands. The role of government is described as moving from benevolent dictatorship to facilitating community-led development. Big challenges are noted, and a progression of change is presented, moving from exclusion to inclusion and belonging.
sustainable development introduction, basics and importanceArcanjo Salazaku
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
We’re getting serious about poverty
What we have done in the past has not been too successful: a search for something more effective
Initially: “direct impact on the poor”
Later: a more analytical understanding

Community Driven Developement : Asset Based Develpement as MethodAr. Salma Akter Surma
The document discusses asset-based community development (ABCD) and provides an overview of its key principles and methodology.
1. ABCD focuses on identifying and mobilizing a community's existing assets, skills, and capacities rather than its needs and problems. This asset-based approach aims to empower communities and encourage self-reliance.
2. The methodology involves mapping community assets such as individual skills, associations, institutions, physical resources, and connections. This asset mapping helps communities recognize their strengths and mobilize around shared interests.
3. ABCD aims to shift the orientation of community development from a needs-based to an asset-based approach. Rather than creating a "problems map," ABCD helps communities develop
Asset Based Community Develpement :Towards a Sustainable Approach.Ar. Salma Akter Surma
Asset-based community development (ABCD) focuses on community strengths rather than needs. ABCD identifies five key community asset categories: individuals, associations, institutions, physical assets, and connections between people. Mapping these assets helps communities recognize their inherent capacities and mobilize for change by building on existing skills and resources. Traditional needs-based approaches risk disempowering communities by focusing only on deficiencies. In contrast, ABCD starts from an asset perspective, believing communities can best create positive change by recognizing their inherent strengths.
The “Definitions of Empowerment” represents a collaborative effort, made possible by the answers received from people all over the world on the Empowerment theme. Their invaluable contributions were essential for the preparation of the Empowerment Publication.
In order to collect people’s ideas and experiences, the Division for Social Policy and Development (DSPD) of UNDESA launched an on-line survey on “Promoting Empowerment of People”.
Community development is a process where government efforts are united with community participation to improve social, economic, and cultural conditions. It involves communities coming together through mutual learning to develop themselves and address common problems. Approaches to community development include capacity building, social capital formation, economic development, and community-driven development. In India, community development focuses on improving habits and attitudes through group work and community organization at the village level with an emphasis on active community participation.

The author aims to (1) coordinate a strategic review and change program to help achieve the founder's goals of eradicating endemic poverty, (2) refocus efforts from short-term aid to long-term community development, and (3) address past issues openly and professionally develop the organization over a 3 year period.
The Roadmap of the Cooperative Development Authorityjo bitonio
The Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) is a government agency that registers and regulates cooperatives in the Philippines. It has over 13 million member-cooperators across 24,652 registered cooperatives. CDA's vision is to develop efficient and sustainable cooperatives that are socially responsive and globally competitive. Currently, most cooperatives are small and micro-sized. CDA aims to empower poorer cooperatives and focus on its developmental role to promote cooperatives as instruments of social justice, equity, and economic growth. It outlines strategies like value chain development, capacity building, and networking cooperatives to strengthen their viability.
This document discusses the political economy of climate change reforms in Pakistan through three levels of analysis: macro, sectoral, and problem-driven. It maps stakeholders and analyzes the drivers and constraints within the political economy framework. While the government acknowledges climate change impacts through rhetoric and budget allocations, there remains a disconnect between words and actions. National consultations on green economy recommended focusing on sustainable development, clean energy, sustainable agriculture, and urbanization. The bottom line is that successful climate change interventions require understanding local capacity, leveraging social capital, introducing accountability, and finding least-cost solutions.
This document discusses different ways that power and change operate in the world. It examines how norms can shift over time through the work of norm entrepreneurs who advocate for new approaches. A variety of examples are provided that show how international organizations and issues like global health initiatives and sustainability have changed as certain ideas gained acceptance. The document suggests we may need to change fundamental assumptions about economic growth and consumption in order to transition to a more sustainable model.
The document discusses the evolution of the concept of governance from the 1990s to present. It began as a development reform advocated by international institutions in response to failed development interventions. "Good governance" emerged as a guiding principle, focusing on proper administrative processes and effective policy instruments. Key principles of good governance were identified as accountability, participation, predictability, and transparency. The document also discusses definitions and characteristics of good governance put forward by various international organizations, as well as indicators and assessment tools used to measure good governance.
The document discusses corporate social responsibility (CSR), including its definitions, key concepts, and models. It provides an overview of CSR as defined by Philip Kotler and Archie Carroll. The triple bottom line approach and Carroll's pyramid model of CSR are introduced. Drivers of CSR like globalization, international guidelines, and public expectations are outlined. An example of Hindustan Unilever's CSR initiatives in India is described. Key aspects of CSR addressed in the document include environmental responsibility, ISO 26000 guidelines, and provisions for CSR in the Indian Companies Act of 2013.

Pbog the sociology of organisational life - The problems with labour in relat...Clive Burgess
Aim: to demonstrate the use of PBOG in the sociology of organisational life. In organisations, risk assessments may be seen as both controls over hazards in the workplace, and as controls over workers. This study therefore examines the use of risk assessments for both the intentional and unintentional consequences in organisational life.
This document discusses several topics related to organizational planning and behavior, including Richard Johnson's work on state capitalism, Graham Wallas' model of the creative process, and the PBOG model of social reality and organizational control mechanisms. It also includes links to pages on factors of production and the enterprise and regulatory reform bill.
Pbog getting it together oct 2012 clive burgess, clive live, good stuffClive Burgess
This document presents an overview of the PBOG model for understanding organizational life. The PBOG model examines how organizations function through the interaction of four key elements: plans, behaviors, organization, and guidelines. Each element influences and is influenced by the others. Plans involve governance, policies and procedures. Behaviors relate to employee aptitude, attitude and performance. Organization looks at structure, ownership and coordination. Guidelines establish legal and other rules that regulate plans and behaviors. Together, these four elements demonstrate the complex sociological processes at work within organizations.
This document uses PBOG (the sociology of organizational life) to analyze a paper by Leslie Sklair on the transnational capitalist class. It breaks the paper into sections and places them within the PBOG framework to understand the key concepts. The summary is:
1. PBOG is used to analyze sections of a paper on the transnational capitalist class and globalization discourses.
2. The paper discusses how the capitalist class uses rhetoric around competitiveness, sustainable development, and globalization to further global capitalist interests.
3. Sections of the paper are extracted and placed within the PBOG framework to understand organizational behavior, guidelines, and how the situation is defined.
This document discusses sociological concepts like activity theory and the sociology of organizational life. It presents diagrams showing how an individual's plan and behavior are shaped by guidelines, organizations, risk management, and other controls.
