Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. TED is an annual event that brings together the brightest minds of our
generation to share their ideas with a curated audience of open-minded
individuals. Based on any number of subjects, these “TED Talks”, are
then made available online for free so that their ideas may be spread
throughout the world.
TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, "ideas worth spreading."
The program is designed to give communities, organizations and
individuals the opportunity to create TED-like experiences at the local
level through their own event. Since the program’s creation, more than
5000 TEDx events have spread throughout the world in places like Dubai,
Tokyo, Antarctica and, of course, Douglasville.

4. LESS “WHO”
MORE “WHY”
W h a t w e l o o k f o r i n a s p e a k e r
Speakers come from all walks of life, disciplines, and industries, but
what they all have in common is an idea and the passion to share it.
Everyone has a life story to tell, but we’re not seeking story-tellers, we’re
seeking truly unique, radical ideas. The “who” is secondary to the idea.
That is what makes our conference a powerful platform for sharing
ideas.
As a speaker, your objective will be to share your idea in an engaging
way and to answer the question, “Why?” Why do you care? Why should
the attendees? Why does your idea deserve to be on stage? If you’re up
to the challenge and passionate about your idea, we’d love to hear from
you.

Deadlines
As the conference approaches, you’ll need to meet certain deadlines for sending
us information, such as biographies, slides, and talk outlines. It is imperative that
you meet these deadlines as we cannot plan the conference without them. Failing
to meet deadlines may result in dismissal from the speaker lineup.
Working Together
Though you may know your topic the best, we know our attendees and TED’s
purpose, and by working together we can best present your idea. Please be aware
that egos have little place at TEDxDouglasville.
Attendance
You’ll be expected to be present throughout the duration of the conference as
attendees, partners, and other speakers will want to further explore your idea.
Please be sure you are available all day. If this or any other criteria is an issue,
please let us know.
7. PROPELLING INTELLECTUAL
ADVANCEMENT
S h a r i n g y o u r i d e a a t
T E D x D o u g l a s v i l l e
TED presenters might make their
talks appear effortless, but there
are hours of thinking, preparing,
practicing, slide revision, and
memorization involved behind
each spectacular talk. To give
your idea the presentation it
deserves, you’ll need to consider
a few things:
Content
Your TEDxTalk should be focused and
sharp. It should go deep rather than
broad. It should include visuals that
develop your ideas. It can include
unique aspects of personal experience
or projects.
Timing
TEDxDouglasville talks run for only 3 to
18 minutes. If you exceed your time, the
host will ask you to end your talk.
Curation & Refinement
The entire TEDxDouglasville
organizing team is here to help
you with any kind of information
or preparation you may need. We
will also help you blend your talk
into the theme and other
speakers’ talks.
Not Allowed
Corporate, political, or religious
plugs from the stage are an abuse
of the TEDx platform and are
unacceptable.
