Running head: MULTIPLE- STAKEHOLDER PROCESS
To Shelf part IV
Clean shelf and the tie’s companies are two companies that have got impacted by the
campaigns of public advocacy groups. The Democratic leadership is also referred to as
participative leadership since it relies on the participation of workers. The aim of the democratic
leader is fostering worker investment in a company by investing employees in their work in the
organization. This type of leadership is important since it encourages workers to set goals that
are workable and notices what they have achieved. They develop plans for their workers to assist
them assess how they perform and push the workers to grow in their work while giving them
support in their advancements and promotions. This type of leadership is good for a leader who
wants to keep workers informed on the matter that can affect them and the leaders who need
their workers to take part in making decision and problem-solving (David, 2009).
Benefits of multi-stakeholder
The partnership does not just bring key stakeholders together so as to discuss issues of policy,
creates consensus and implements, but is assist in improving equality between players and
promotes participation and transparency (Marc & Adriana, 2014). Some of the benefits are:
It promotes equity in policy and implementation- this approach promotes participation of
every interested individual in the process in an equalized manner.
Fosters sharing of innovation and skills: bringing stakeholders who have diverse
perspectives together encourages the participants to view issues in new ways and help the
development of strategies that are new and innovative for a change.
MULTIPLE- STAKEHOLDER PROCESS 2
Promotes grassroots participation and mobilization: the simple existence promotes
participation of community and society companies in the policy debate. Also, it assists in
raising awareness of the main major actors.
Challenges
Inclusion: one of the main challenges of successful partnership is finding the right actors
and brings them to the table. As partnership experience has grown, a main lesson that has come
up is the importance of involving various stakeholders’ views. However, the identification of
important stakeholders and an important level of inclusion should derive directly from the
particular purpose and objective of the partnership.
Differentiating various types of partnership: Multi- stakeholder partnerships range
hugely in terms of functions, complexity, and scope, level of engagement, diversity, and size of
patterns. Various types of partnership get motivated by various factors, have different
governance requirements and face different operational problems. As a result, it is hard to note
and share generic lessons and good practices that apply ac.

You addressed each of the seven numbered questions/topics in a thorough and complete manner. The references you used did a very nice job supporting your work. Your paper was also nicely written. There were two areas for improvement. Your paper did not have an opening introductory paragraph that contained a thesis statement. This is an APA format requirement. The second is references. The references you used were good and supported the content. However, the Kotter & Cohen textbook is the primary source of information for this course. Therefore, in addition to the sources you used, using information from the Kotter text would have strengthened the paper. Otherwise, nice work! As a side note, although your paper was submitted after the Wednesday deadline, I did not deduct any points this time since it was the first written assignment.

Agility boosts performance: Guide for your agile transformation journey
ORGANIZATIONAL AGILITY AS A COMPETITIVE FACTOR
The Agile Performer Index
In the Agile Performer Index, goetzpartners and the NEOMA Business School clearly demonstrate the correlation between agility and entrepreneurial success. The more agile the company, the better it performs financially. The purpose of the study was to investigate what agility can really do for organizations. Is it just a temporary trend? With the right methodology, can agility deliver sustainable success?
Resulting from a broad survey among 285 leading European companies, the Agile Performer Index documents that agility programs are a suitable way for organizations to achieve lasting performance and competitive advantage.
Selected key findings:
Agile companies perform ~ 2.7 times better than non-agile companies
CxOs rate their company’s agility higher than do middle managers.
Sector check: Digital maturity doesn’t guarantee agility

Sustainability reporting what, why and how
This document discusses sustainability reporting, including what it is, why organizations do it, and how to go about the reporting process. Sustainability reporting involves communicating an organization's environmental, social and governance performance. It is becoming more common for organizations to produce sustainability reports to disseminate non-financial information to stakeholders. While reporting frameworks provide guidance, organizations must ensure reporting adds value through benchmarking and continuous improvement rather than just marketing achievements. Effective sustainability reporting requires strategy, goal-setting, performance measurement and using a recognized framework.

Bio Toilets
The document discusses bio-toilets developed by DRDO in India as a solution to poor sanitation. Over 600 million people in India lack access to toilets and defecate openly, risking health and contaminating water sources. Bio-toilets use naturally occurring bacteria to treat human waste on-site, producing reusable water and biogas without needing energy or sludge removal. They are self-contained, customizable units that can serve individual families or large communities, addressing open defecation and promoting sanitation.
Ballast Water Management
The document discusses a new ballast water testing system called QwikLite that is more reliable, less expensive, and faster than existing techniques. QwikLite uses disposable cartridges containing bioluminescent plankton to detect toxic effects in water samples. When toxicity is present, the plankton emit less light. The system can detect a variety of potentially toxic substances and provides results more quickly than traditional lab methods, allowing for more cost-effective large-scale screening of ballast water.
Altranex, The Future of Fuel
Altranex develops bio-lubricants and transportation fuels from renewable sources like plants that have absorbed CO2 from the atmosphere. Their fuels are designed to be compatible with existing fuel infrastructure and be indistinguishable from petroleum-based fuels. Specifically, their shipping fuel Altra-HFTM is made from renewable feedstocks like various plant oils and animal fats, is CO2 neutral, and contains almost no sulfur, meeting upcoming IMO regulations. By 2020, Altranex plans to license almost 30 production facilities around the world each producing renewable products like Altra-HFTM.
Powerless Skimmer
Creative Green Ideas is developing debris skimmers that require no power or moving parts to remove floating debris from waterways. Their skimmers can be used for oil spills, harvesting plants and plastics, providing cost savings. The goal is to make effective cleanup tools simple and affordable worldwide. Unlike motorized skimmers, it uses water flow to push debris down and let it rise, separating debris from water without extra equipment.
Accelerated Sedimentation
The document summarizes a stormwater treatment system called the WTS2000 from Aqualete Industries that uses accelerated sedimentation technology. It removes pollutants like silt, sand, oil, grease, and nutrients from stormwater runoff more quickly and cost effectively than other systems. Independent testing showed it reduces total suspended solids by 87%, turbidity by 75%, nitrogen by 77%, and phosphorus by 83%. The portable system treats stormwater onsite in minutes rather than hours or days to save both time and money on water treatment projects.

Superhydrophobic Nanofiber
Researchers at the University of Akron have developed superhydrophobic nanofiber tubes for separating oil from water. The nanofiber mats are fabricated into flat sheets and cylindrical geometries using electrospinning. Due to their small fiber and pore size and composition, the mat surfaces are super hydrophobic and attract oil but not water. Experimental results showed the cylindrical nanofiber filters achieved up to 98% separation efficiency of water droplets in diesel fuel, outperforming flat sheet filters. The tubular design allows for more compact separators with potential for practical application.
Tersi Technologies
Tersi Technologies has developed a field-validated process for remediating hydrocarbons that is faster and more cost-effective than other solutions. Their product, HCS-200, activates the existing bacteria naturally present in the environment to break down hydrocarbons within 24-48 hours, without adding additional engineered microbes. It works by breaking hydrocarbon masses into inert microscopic spheres upon contact, which then form a stable suspended solution that is harmless when dumped or spread. This eliminates costly disposal processes. HCS-200 can be used to remediate a wide range of industrial sites and spills.
Wind Float: The Depth Independent Offshore Wind Solution
WindFloat is a floating support structure for offshore wind turbines that offers several advantages over traditional bottom-fixed installations. It allows for installation in deep waters between 40-100 meters as well as waters over 100 meters deep. This provides access to stronger and more consistent winds farther from shore. The design also enables onshore assembly and shallow draft for easy transport and installation. WindFloat uses established semi-submersible platform technology from offshore oil and gas and provides static and dynamic stability for commercial wind turbines.
Deep Green: Tidal and Ocean Current Energy
Minesto's Deep Green technology is the only known technology that can economically generate power from tidal and ocean currents with low velocities of 1.2-2.5m/s, unlocking previously inaccessible renewable energy resources. Deep Green resembles an underwater kite with a wing and turbine secured to the seabed with a tether, reaching speeds 10 times higher than ocean currents through an figure-8 path. This design offers high efficiency, small size, low-cost offshore operations accessible for longer periods, and ultimately a low cost of energy compared to other tidal technologies only designed for higher speeds above 2.4 m/s over more limited areas that are also more difficult to operate in.
Compliance Monitoring of Sulfur Emissions from Shipping
Ships emit large quantities of air pollutants and new regulations require lower sulfur fuel content and NOx abatement techniques to reduce emissions and their negative environmental impacts. However, complying with the new rules will significantly increase ship transport costs, providing an economic incentive for non-compliance. Currently, fuel usage is monitored through random checks and occasional sampling, but there is no way to monitor fuel usage at sea. Johan Mellqvist has developed a system over 8 years that combines custom software and an optical system to automatically monitor compliance through on-ship installation and remote detection from aircraft, ships, and fixed sites near shipping lanes.

Electrochemically Mediated Desalination
The document describes a new technology called Electrochemically Mediated Desalination (EMD) and the Okeanos WaterChip for highly efficient desalination. The WaterChip uses a solid-state, massively parallel process at the microscale without membranes. It desalinates extremely small volumes of water but does so with far greater energy efficiency than current technologies like reverse osmosis or distillation by exploiting the corrosive potential of seawater. This new EMD process could enable off-grid and distributed desalination using alternative energies to provide water anywhere it is needed.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

S-CORE’s rapid assessment process provides a framework for first understanding what organizations need to achieve relative to sustainability and then prioritizing effective collaborative action of all key stakeholders. S-CORE’s process is transformational for businesses, government agencies, and not-for-profits, helping them determine where they are on the road to sustainability and then identify and prioritize opportunities to accelerate their journey forward. S-CORE also works to engage stakeholders at multiple levels: within an organization and across an industry; within a supply chain; and with customers and communities. S-CORE is unique because it is a forward looking, rapid assessment intended for internal use. S-CORE SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT TOOL

To learn more about this and other innovative solutions Go to OceanExchange(dot)Org Although there are a number of sustainability reporting and assessment tools, guidelines and standards currently available, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Accountability 1000, and the B-Corp Assessment, all these are focused on external reporting and ranking. As a result, their output focuses on the most positive aspects of what the organization has done in the past, not the difficulties or challenges in the future. S-CORE’s focus on internal evaluation and decision-making allows an organization to truly look at their barriers and challenges and prioritize actions while also identifying internal accountability and responsibility.
