Thailand's best practices and lessons learned in developmentChristina Parmionova
Thailand has made remarkable progress in the fields of social and economic development in recent decades, which
enabled Thailand to become a middle-income country. According to the first Thailand Millennium Development
Goals Report, 2004, Thailand has already reached almost all targets set in the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs). Therefore, Thailand has set more ambitious targets, called MDG Plus, that go well beyond the
internationally agreed MDG targets. The development examples of many innovative projects under the royal
patronage of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej are particularly valuable, and His Majesty’s philosophy on
“Sufficiency Economy” has become a key principle in Thailand’s national development plan and practices.
As Thailand succeeded in its development during the past four decades, The Royal Thai Government has
shared its knowledge and experiences with other developing countries, especially its neighbors in the Greater
Mekong Sub-Region (GMS), through technical cooperation and human resource development. Helping the
development of neighboring countries is among the highest priorities of Thai foreign policy. This has led to
Thailand becoming a training and resource center for development, especially for scholars and practitioners
from other developing countries.
The Thailand International Development Cooperation Agency (TICA) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the main
Government’s coordinating body for technical and development assistance, including managing Thailand’s Official
Development Assistance (ODA). Working closely with TICA and supporting Thailand as an active donor of the
South is the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Thailand. We at TICA would like to express
our gratitude to UNDP for its new initiatives to further strengthen Thailand’s efforts in South-South cooperation
and aid effectiveness. In recognizing the value of Thailand’s development experiences and expertise, UNDP has
provided generous support and finding to this publication on “Thailand’s Best Practices and Lessons Learned
in Development”. The publication’s provides an overview and some examples of Thailand’s areas of expertise
and development achievements (Volume 1), as well as providing and evidence-based resource mapping of
national institutions in the country, called “Sources of Expertise for Thailand’s Best Practices in Development”
(Volume 2). We also appreciate the efforts of the Kenan Institute Asia in collecting, analyzing and summarizing
Thailand’s varied and extensive development experiences. It is our hope that this publication will be useful to
the Thai Government as an advocacy tool to promote Thailand’s development achievements and its available
resource centers, as well as for strategic development cooperation programs with other developing countries
and partners.
The document discusses 6 Royal Development Study Centres in Thailand established to demonstrate the philosophy of Sufficiency Economy. Each centre focuses on integrated development through applying knowledge from agriculture, forestry, water resources and more. They serve as models for surrounding communities and have helped disseminate techniques like New Theory farming. The centres have led to improved livelihoods and self-sufficiency through projects tailored to local conditions.
This document discusses the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy and how it can be applied to advance brands. The Sufficiency Economy Philosophy is based on moderation, reasonableness, and building resilience. It teaches living within one's means at multiple levels - individual, community, and nation - through self-reliance, social solidarity, and sustainable development. The document explores how the philosophy's principles of balance, mindfulness, moderation, and self-immunity can inform strategic management, risk management, branding, and achieving sustainable business practices and an "admired brand."
This document discusses the need to shift from a "culture of fear" to a "culture of safety and sufficiency" in order to address issues like climate change and economic instability. It proposes focusing on local economies through the "Five P's" - Place, People, Products, Projects, and Payment systems. This approach aims to change the underlying narratives that fuel negative cultures based on scarcity, competition, and powerlessness. Local initiatives bringing people together around food, skills sharing, and celebration can help combine aspects of a "danger culture" focused on risk with a "peace culture" focused on community and positivity.

Workplace Innovation: Theory, research and practicev0.1_short.pdfPeter Oeij
This lecture discusses workplace innovation, providing definitions and research examples. It defines workplace innovation as involving employee engagement, humanistic management practices, and a bottom-up approach rather than top-down. Research examples show that successful workplace innovation combines structural changes like job autonomy with cultural changes like participation. A case study of 51 companies found five paths to substantial workplace innovation, and a logistics study found that workplace innovation factors like autonomy drive employees' adoption of innovations. The lecture concludes by outlining steps to develop and implement workplace innovation interventions and discusses the role of digitalization.
Workplace Innovation: Theory, research and practiceBEYOND4.0
Workplace innovation aims to positively impact both organizational performance and employee well-being. The lecture discusses workplace innovation theory and provides two examples of research on the topic. It finds that successful workplace innovation combines both structural and cultural elements, and that initiatives are more likely to succeed when employees are engaged in the design and implementation process and economic goals are linked to employee interests. The role of digitalization is also addressed, noting both risks around a narrow focus on costs as well as opportunities when implemented appropriately.

Learning to Innovate: A Case Study of Malawian Faculty Improving Food Systems...Premier Publishers
This study follows the implementation of an 18-month series of capacity development workshops supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Malawi’s Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR). The primary goal of this study was to investigate ways in which Design Thinking could be learned and applied in the context of an international partnership focused on faculty development for food systems innovation. Participants (N = 7) were faculty from LUANAR who engaged in 6 workshops and 1 field experience. Through multiple qualitative and quantitative data collection approaches, it was possible to identify learning outcomes and behavior patterns indicating participants’ conceptual understanding as well as their contextual application of Design Thinking.
The document summarizes the author's PhD journey exploring how design thinking can be used to enable transitions to more sustainable practices. It discusses the research approach, which included dialogues with experts and organizations. The dialogues revealed that individual values and empowerment are important for sustainability, and provided insights into how organizations express values across their operations. The research aims to understand how to create interventions that support radically different, more sustainable outputs by shifting paradigms.
This document outlines 4 changes in teaching universal design:
1) From guidelines and principles to inclusive design processes that involve users with disabilities.
2) From a focus on physical accessibility to cognitive accessibility and multisensorial interactions for a complex digital society.
3) From universal design being one of many approaches to being the basic method taught to all designers from the first year.
4) From emphasizing just functionality to also considering aesthetics, identity, dignity and self-esteem.
This document discusses the design of a positive psychology intervention using metaphor to motivate behavior change. It describes how design can help address societal challenges by making interventions more desirable and effective. The intervention discussed uses a metaphor of a journey to design an online program for teachers to lead a flourishing life. Several concepts were developed and tested with users through co-creation. Evaluation of a prototype found it was challenging and motivating though some elements needed more explanation. The next steps are to further develop the prototype and conduct a randomized controlled trial.
This project is based in human centered design and develops a new theory which outlines the principles needed to promote human wellness and improve the quality of an interior single family housing environment. The proposal emerges from the study of several design theories (Attention Restoration Theory, Biophilia, Biomimicry, Color Theory, Feng Shui, Gestalt, History Based Theory, Phenomenology, Wabi Sabi, and Zen Theory) and the selection of some elements of those theories to solve either wellness or environmental issues, currently affecting the Puerto Rican population. Wellness issues are divided into mental issues and physical issues; addressing anxiety, depression, stress, comfort, mobility, allergies, and respiratory problems developed in interior environments. The environmental factors addressed aim to reduce air pollutants and temperature, while also increase oxygen, improve air quality and promote sustainable practices. Surveys were performed to gather quantitative data regarding resident’s perceptions of their housing environment. Additionally, medical interviews and designer’s interviews were performed throughout the qualitative research part of this study, in search for professional input regarding each element of design applied in HIT. The principles developed were applied to an interior space as part of the creative research process, where through the use of observation, a focus group experienced a home environment before and after the theory was implemented. Research validated the original hypothesis and demonstrated the principles presented in HIT provides positive effects in the user.
Keywords: environment, housing, theory, wellness
The document provides an overview of the author's experiences using design thinking in educational settings. It describes several design thinking workshops conducted at universities in Germany between 2013-2019. The workshops focused on topics like website redesign, course design, learning spaces, and social inclusion. Design thinking activities included brainstorming solutions with LEGOs, creating customer journey maps, and prototyping ideas. Student feedback indicated benefits like increased empathy and reduced biases, but also potential challenges like frustration and shallow ideas.
Taking It Further: The Practical Implications of Action Research in the Field...Vikki du Preez
This presentation was given at the 2011 Design, Development and Research conference and aims to showcase the positive implications of Action Research as a methodology when investigating design areas of interest. The practice of design, as well as design thinking, is compared to Action Research, and in particularly Participatory Action Research, to highlight the similarities in processes and knowledge generation. Participatory Action Research compliments the practical nature of design, which is often solution or goal orientated. The benefit of Action research is two-fold: firstly, it allows the researcher to gain general knowledge about the area of study while, secondly, generating specific information which can be used to change the situation. The presentation and paper draws on findings from an MTech Degree study entitled Networks For Design, Through Design which used Participatory Action Research as the main methodology of the project. The presentation discusses the various phases of the study in relation to Participatory Action Research and describes how this methodology supported and guided the project outcomes.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...Dr. Nazrul Islam
Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any
country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.
Managers in all types of banks now confront the same challenge: how to get the utmost output from
their employees. Therefore, Performance appraisal appears to be inevitable since it set the
standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.
