    A Witness to the Egyptian Revolution Feb 15, 2011
    Show notes

    For many years, IT Conversations has presented a great cross-section of technology-related interviews and presentations. Yet when Conversations Network Executive Direct Doug Kaye and his wife recently returned from a trip to Egypt as the country began its possible revolution, it was logical to hear his story. He joins Phil and Scott to review the event and share his current thoughts on what they witnessed. Doug first gives an overview of their vacation trip and how it suddenly changed into something completely different. He talks about how he quickly saw changes in how Egyptians viewed their leadership. He also discusses how the country's internet cut-off affected both tourists and citizens alike. He describes an event that he called a first hand view of a possible revolution in the Middle East. He presents details of conversations he had with Egyptians and how they saw the demonstrations, as well as the importance of technology to the citizens. He also assesses the importance of social networking to the everyday life of Egyptians and to its possible use by demonstrators. Doug then gives his thoughts about the future of the demonstrations, both to the country of Egypt and to the rest of the world. He points out the problems of understanding a Muslim country as well as how Egyptians don't understand United States policies toward other countries. The discussion also includes details of the importance of technology to typical Egyptians, particularly as it relates to the country's educational system.

    Fusions et Acquisitions dans l'Economie Sociale Feb 10, 2011
    Show notes

    Les Fusions et acquisitions se justifient-elles dans l'economie sociale ou sont elles le privilege de l'economie capitaliste? Cet atelier est consacré aux rapprochements entre organisations à mission sociale et étudie differents cas de figure rencontrés dans ce domaine mettant en évidence le potentiel de la pratique des fusions et acquisitions dans l'economie sociale, son contexte, ses enjeux, et ses perspectives.

    Nicolas Mottis, Professeur a l'ESSEC, fournit une analyse comparative des fusions et acquisitions dans les contextes lucratif et non lucratif. Venus de differents secteurs de l'economie sociale, trois panelistes partagent leur experience en la matiere: Jean-Marc Borello parle en tant que fondateur du groupe SOS. Philippe Calmette est le Directeur Général de FEGAPEI, la fédération nationale des associations gestionnaires au service des personnes handicapees. Dominique Giry offre sa perspective depuis sa position de directeur général du groupe Résideo, un groupe immobilier à vocation sociale qui travaille notamment dans l'est parisien.

    Les intervenants explorent la pertinence de ces opérations de regroupement, de concentration, de mise en commun de moyens significatifs considerant notamment la taille et la maturité des différentes structures impliquées. Le panel évoque plusieurs circonstances dans lesquelles la mise en commun de moyens se justifie et présente de nombreux avantages comme, par exemple des synergies opérationnelles ou financières, des économies d'échelles, l'amélioration de la coordination entre différents acteurs, la rationalisation des modes de gestion, etc.

    La diversite des perspectives fournit une revue en profondeur du phenomene des fusions et acquisitions dans l'economie sociale.

    Jean-Marc Borello a créé le "Groupe SOS," une coalition d'associations et d'entreprises qui fonctionne comme un laboratoire pour l'amélioration continue des services sociaux. SOS crée, teste, évalue, et systématise des programmes sociaux innovateurs susceptibles d'être adoptés et developés par le gouvernement français. Ayant mené son organisation à une taille critique, Jean-Marc Borello delivre des services de haute qualité couvrant tout le spectre des besoins sociaux, génère des liquidités permettant des investissements permanents, et explore de nouvelles possibilités par une gestion strategique de ' l'innovation. SOS est souvent sollicité, notamment par le gouvernement, pour réaligner des organisations de services. En raison de la grande échelle de ses opérations, de la crédibilité et la reconnaissance dont il jouit dans le secteur social, et de la qualité des services SOS, Jean-Marc Borello a acquis un important pouvoir de négociation non seulement avec le gouvernement français mais aussi avec les entreprises et les marchés financiers, qui expriment un intérêt croissant de travailler en partenariat avec lui.

    Philippe Calmette est devenu le directeur général de FEGAPEI en 1998. Directeur d'hôpital de formation puis spécialiste des questions sanitaires, médico-sociales et de protection sociale, Philippe a notamment mené depuis 1988 dans le cadre de ses fonctions, quatre projets de redressement puis de développement d'entreprises en difficulté ou en fort besoin de réorganisation (3 Fédérations et 1 établissement de santé).

    Lors de ses dix années de Directeur Général de la Mutualité Française (Fédération Nationale de la Mutualité Française) et de la Mutualité de la Fonction Publique, il a appris les métiers et les services de l'assurance de personnes autour desquels il s'est efforcé de développer des projets novateurs et performants.

    Depuis 1998, en charge d'une Fédération professionnelle regroupant 500 associations et 4000 établissements pour Personnes Handicapées, Philippe s'est spécialisé sur les questions médico-sociales et les politiques en faveur des personnes handicapées mais également sur les enjeux du dialogue social et de la représentation de l'économie sociale. Il a présidé, de 2000 à 2003, la Branche Sanitaire, Sociale et Médico-Sociale à But Non Lucratif.

    Nicolas Mottis a rejoint l'ESSEC comme professeur assistant en 1995, après avoir travaillé dans différentes entreprises entre 1988 et 1995: chez Renault dans le Département Marketing Logistique à Zürich (1988-1989), puis à la Direction de la Recherche (1989-1990) comme chef de projet, à la BNP au sein de la Direction Informatique (1990-93), puis dans le groupe Bertelsmann (1993-95). Il a été promu Professeur en Septembre 2000. En 1995-97, il a été responsable du projet qui a conduit l'ESSEC à devenir la première institution accréditée AACSB hors Amérique du Nord. Il a été Membre du Comité d'Accréditation de l'AACSB de 2003 à 2006 et « Chair » de son « Accreditation Quality Committee », dont le rôle est de définir les standards d'accréditation au niveau international, de 2006 à 2009. Il est aussi co-fondateur et « Chair » de l'« AACSB European Affinity Group » et réalise de nombreuses missions d'évaluation d'universités et de business schools en Europe, Amérique du Nord et Asie.

    Nicolas Mottis a obtenu un Doctorat en Economie à l'Ecole Polytechnique en 1993 et une Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches à l'Université Paris Dauphine en 2000. Il a été chercheur visitant à Stanford (US), à l'Ecole Polytechnique, à la Harvard Business School (US) et à l'Australian Graduate School of Management (Sydney, Australie).

    Ses centres d'intérêt en recherche portent sur l'articulation entre stratégie et contrôle de gestion (création de valeur, systèmes d'incitation, mesure des performances, planification,…), la gestion des projets dans des environnements high tech et l'évolution de l'enseignement supérieur. Il est auteur de plusieurs ouvrages et de nombreuses publications académiques et professionnelles dans ces domaines (voir le site www.essec.fr pour la liste complète des publications).

    Dominique Giry est le directeur général du groupe Résideo, un groupe immobilier à vocation sociale qui travaille en particulier dans l'est parisien et comprend: -Resideocil (partenaire 1% logement des entreprises) -Resideo Habitat (construction et gestion de logements locatifs à vocation sociale) -Espacité (conseil et assistance à maîtrise d'ouvrage pour la rénovation urbaine et les politiques locales de l'habitat) -Résidétapes (développement et gestion d'habitat temporaire)

    Diplômé d'études supérieures en sciences économiques, il entre en 1974 à l'Office central interprofessionnel du logement. Les différentes responsabilités qui lui sont confiées lui permettent d'acquérir une vision globale des problèmes urbains et une expérience concrète de la conduite des opérations urbaines. En 1979, nommé secrétaire général de la Ville de Marly-le-Roi et directeur général de la SEMARO (société d'économie mixte d'aménagement et de construction), il mène à leur terme des projets importants dans le cadre d'une politique de développement de la ville.

    Le parcours et la carrière de Dominique Giry témoignent d'un engagement pour la Ville et l'aménagement du territoire qui repose sur des convictions acquises au cours de ses expériences professionnelles à la croisée de la sphère publique et du monde de l'entreprise.

    Microsoft founder Bill Gates transformed the world through his role in personal computing; now, he is transforming philanthropy, contributing to the betterment of those who live in poverty worldwide. In this audio lecture, Gates challenges Stanford MBA students to take on the world's difficult problems as a focus of their career or life mission. He tells a bit about his own story, overviews the problems that face us globally, and suggests paths people can take to contribute to solutions. Gates spoke at the 2010 Stanford University commencement ceremony.

    Crowd-Sourcing Disaster Relief Jan 25, 2011
    Show notes

    The Disaster Management Institute at Carnegie Mellon University is helping incident responders learn to use social media. In this one-on-one interview conducted at Stanford University, host Karl Matzke and Jeannie Stamberger discuss how to write retweetable messages, how to separate legitimate helpers from posers and how to use social media to prevent loss of life.

    In one example, the World Bank used teens with cell phones to create GPS-linked maps identifying structures vulnerable to collapse in earthquake-prone areas. In another, during a recent evacuation drill at Stanford University, Stamberger reported that tweets provided useful information that would have taken exhaustive testing to uncover. In the immediate aftermath of the Haiti earthquake, the Google people-finder application helped connect lost quake victims to the friends and relatives who were looking for them. In another case, Ushahidi encouraged the use of Twitter hashtags #haiti or #haitiquake to report security threats, health emergencies and natural hazards. (Today they are moving these functions to local partners.)

    Perhaps the most intriguing research Stamberger is conducting is in how to stop a rumor. Incorrect information travels as quickly as correct information; these researchers seek to tell the good from the bad, and then learn to get truthful information out quickly. Matzke and Stamberger discuss how organizations can join the Disaster Management Initiative, a consortium of practitioners, academics, non-profits, for-profits, volunteers, researchers and other interested parties.

    The Role of Social Norms in Energy and Water Conservation Jan 04, 2011
    Show notes

    The power of social norms has been used to promote energy conservation and other prosocial outcomes. From studies involving the reuse of hotel towels, energy consumption in towns, and the reduction of theft at national forests, UCLA Anderson School of Management Professor Noah Goldstein demonstrates that individuals are greatly influenced when they know how peers behave in the same situation. This presents an opportunity for marketers, managers and policymakers to craft messages that encourage positive activity. Goldstein spoke at Small Steps, Great Leaps, a special research briefing convened by Professor Francis Flynn and Jennifer Aaker and their colleagues in the field of prosocial behavior. They presented practical, and cost-effective solutions for encouraging donations, volunteerism, social activism, and other responsible, caring, and prosocial behaviors.

    Philanthropy and Fundraisers' Motivation Dec 21, 2010
    Show notes

    Philanthropy and fundraising sometimes involve making that all-important call to a potential donor. It can be a thankless, depressing job. In this university podcast, Wharton associate professor Adam Grant shares research about the effectiveness of paid and volunteer call centers. Noting what executives and nonprofit leaders think are the most effective interventions to motivate fundraisers—and why those are dead wrong –- he discusses what can be done to help money-soliciting callers become more enthused and successful. The talk should be of interest both to managers who supervise callers and to fundraisers themselves. Grant spoke at Small Steps Big Leaps: The Science of Getting People to Do the Right Thing, an event sponsored by the Center for Social Innovation at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

    Adam Grant is an associate professor at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on work motivation, job design, prosocial helping and giving behaviors, meaningful work, initiative and proactive behaviors, and employee well-being. He has taught executive education, consulted, and presented for a variety of clients. His articles have been published in a wide range of leading management and psychology journals. Grant has also served as director of Let's Go Advertising Sales. He earned his PhD from the University of Michigan in organizational psychology and his BA from Harvard University.

    Ending the Nonprofit Starvation Cycle Dec 20, 2010
    Show notes

    It is not news that nonprofit organizations with robust infrastructure — including sturdy information technology and financial systems, skills training, fundraising processes, and other essential overhead — are more likely to succeed than those without. Yet most nonprofits do not spend enough money on capacity building and systems. Ann Goggins Gregory and Don Howard of the nonprofit management consultancy The Bridgespan Group, look at the reasons so many nonprofits find themselves in a perpetual starvation cycle. The two consultants reveal what nonprofits and funders can do to break out of the cycle, so that overhead problems do not thwart organizations from achieving success in the pursuit of their missions and goals. They spoke at the Nonprofit Management Institute convened by the Stanford Social Innovation Review.

    Ann Goggins Gregory is the director of knowledge management at The Bridgespan Group and a former consultant in Bridgespan's strategy area. In her consulting work, her clients included education and youth development organizations as well as foundations.

    Don Howard is a partner at The Bridgespan Group, where he leads the San Francisco office. His clients have included foundations and nonprofits working to alleviate poverty, end homelessness, revitalize neighborhoods, end inequities in education, and improve the environment.

    Leadership in an Uncertain World Dec 16, 2010
    Show notes

    In 2010 Katherine Fulton, President of the Monitor Institute, took a three-month break from her long and impressive career strategizing for nonprofit and entrepreneurial organizations. The time off renewed her and gave her insights into the challenges nonprofit professionals face in an increasingly fast-paced, demanding world. In this audio lecture, sponsored by the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Fulton advises those who labor in what she calls "communities of hope" to slow down in order to find the courage to reflect on the many uncertainties ahead. Her five recommendations, one of which is to love the challenges themselves, are practical, highly philosophical, and very personal.

    Katherine Fulton is a partner of the Monitor Group and President of the Monitor Institute, which is dedicated to helping innovative leaders achieve sustainable solutions to social and environmental problems. She has spent three decades catalyzing social change as a leader, strategist, teacher, editor, writer, speaker, and advisor. Fulton is the recipient of a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University and a Lyndhurst Foundation prize for community service, and is the co-author of several books, among them Looking Out for the Future: An Orientation for the Twenty-First Century Philanthropists and What If? The Art of Scenario Thinking for Nonprofits.

    The Emerging Social Impact Market Dec 15, 2010
    Show notes

    Annually, more than a trillion dollars are spent on millions of American nonprofit and government institutions. And 15 nonprofits are started each day. But there is still not significant progress on social issues in the United States. In this audio lecture, sponsored by the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Andrew Wolk, CEO of Root Cause, argues that the time has come for a social impact market—one that fosters innovation and collaboration across the governmental, business, and nonprofit sectors to maximize scarce resources and spread solutions. Wolk believes this cross-sector approach presents our best chance to solve long-term educational, healthcare, environmental, and other problems.
