Innovation is everywhere - Malaysia Innovation Ecosystem and Startup SceneInnovation is Everywhere
Malaysia is a rather small country in populous South-East Asia, with 29 million inhabitants, North of Singapore and south of Thailand, with a "peninsular" part and half the island of Borneo (shared with Indonesia).

This means thinking of an ideal end state without constraints, then brainstorming ideas to work towards that ideal given real-world constraints. Visual tools like a "system canvas" can help map out the current system and flows. The overall message is that transformational change requires reimagining the whole system design

It provides examples of similar programs inspired by MOSS that focus on experiential learning, student voice, and community partnerships.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

The importance of sustainable and efficient computational practices in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning has become increasingly critical. This webinar focuses on the intersection of sustainability and AI, highlighting the significance of energy-efficient deep learning, innovative randomization techniques in neural networks, the potential of reservoir computing, and the cutting-edge realm of neuromorphic computing. This webinar aims to connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications and provide insights into how these innovative approaches can lead to more robust, efficient, and environmentally conscious AI systems.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF ACADEME?
BACKGROUND ON STATS: The social sector (comprised of nonprofits, philanthropic organizations, and both nonprofit and for-profit social enterprises) is the third largest US industry, generating over 5.4% of GDP, more than $900B economic activity, over 10% of private sector jobs, and growing at a rate faster than the US economy as a whole. There are over 69,000 nonprofit organizations in Ohio and West Virginia, employing over 551,000 workers, representing nearly 12% of each state’s workforce, and generating revenues in excess of $96B. The social sector’s contribution to economic diversification and restructuring is profound. Based on the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis 2018 first quarter results, the gross output of education, health and social assistance industries increased to $2,860 billion, constituting nearly 10 percent of GDP growth over this period. New social enterprise development exceeds rates of traditional startups.

“dynamism”
As long as you have more starts than closes, it’s a “negative dynamism.”
Social enterpirses are place-based and sticky. Derive value from rootedness of current community. Challenge is generating the return. Many models – successful enterprise in one community – replication is a way to grow. No $100M in sales from 1 town, but maybe $100M from 20-30 towns, in which the social impact scales. Franchise opportunity for innovators who work it out.
COMMUNITY based economic development begins with the community
Social enterprise is community base deliver community value, and if successful can do the same elsewhere
