Don't Be Casual
Coming out of the Venture Capital in the Rockies conference, I was pleasantly surprised with how solid most of the presentations were. There was plenty of pre-conference preparation, practice, and iteration from the companies presenting – and it showed.
2.3 Social Development II: Economic Report on Africa 2007
Special focus on HIV/AIDS
International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Blue Financial Services Group to Integrate HIV/AIDS Prevention with Microfinance
The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, announced plans to work with Blue Financial Services Group, a publicly traded African financial services company with over 100 branches in seven countries, on a pilot HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention program in Botswana, South Africa and Zambia. A statement released by the IFC explained that the program will target small companies and local communities, seeking to preserve jobs and businesses by integrating traditional financial services with HIV/AIDS prevention.
The Role of Microfinance in Addressing the HIV/AIDS Pandemic in Zambia: The Rainbow Model Provides a Future for AIDS Orphans
Poverty and HIV/AIDS constitute a vicious circle. Poverty creates vulnerability to HIV/AIDS, and HIV/AIDS leads to poverty. Unfortunately, the interventions of the national and international community are not moving as quickly as the desperation and the loss of hope in the people coping with the pandemic at the grassroots level.

5.5 The HIV/AIDS threat: Working Out of Poverty
Over 25 million workers are infected with HIV/AIDS, and millions more affected by the pandemic. The ILO has calculated that the size of the labour force in high-prevalence countries will be between 10 and 30 per cent smaller by 2020 than it would have been without the effect of HIV/AIDS, which poses a serious threat to economic growth and development prospects. Macroeconomic performance is undermined by rising labour costs associated with the pandemic, through skills shortages, sickness and absenteeism and reduced productivity and economic competitiveness, resulting in a shrinking tax base, less foreign investment and fewer jobs.

HR Technology Conference- Closing Thoughts
Last Friday I was able to participate in the final day of the HR Technology Conference in Chicago. I've shared some of my thoughts on the benefits of attending the conference from the perspective of networking and today I'd like to share some ideas about the sessions I was able to attend and some general thoughts on the conference:

Shocking Treatment Proposed For AIDS
"Shocking treatment proposed for AIDS Zapping the AIDS virus with low-voltage electric current can nearly eliminate its ability to infect human white blood cells cultured in the laboratory, reports a research team at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. William D. Lyman and his colleagues found that exposure to 50 to 100 microamperes of electricity - comparable to that produced by a cardiac pacemaker - reduced the infectivity of the AIDS virus (HIV) by 50 to 95 percent. Their experiments, described March 14 in Washington, D.C., at the First International Symposium on Combination Therapies, showed that the shocked viruses lost the ability to make an enzyme crucial to their reproduction, and could no longer cause the white cells to clump together - two key signs of virus infection."

Estee Lauder Bonus
The Estee Lauder Companies Inc. is a manufacturer and marketer of health and beauty aids; but mostly beauty aids. Estee Lauder products are widely sold and known around the world as being a quality product and they have branded themselves quite well. Some of Estee Lauder’s scents are Aramis, La Mer Clinique, , MzAzC, Origins and Aveda. In addition to this they own the liscensee rights to fragrances and/or cosmetics sold under the Tommy Hilfiger, Donna Karan, Michael Kors, and Sean John brands. Women all over are scrambling for the Estee Lauder bonus offers all over the internet and in stores everywhere. It’s made such a stir than even I had to look into it and I must admit I was impressed. Estee Lauder is able to do this after acquiring several other companies and expanding their already impressive resources.
Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
I recently had the pleasure of attending and speaking at the 6th CIPS Australasia Annual Conference for the procurement profession. It was my third invitation to speak at a CIPSA event in my capacity as a professional representing the sales profession. The theme for this conference was ‘Managing Volatility’. A key message I gleaned from the conference was Value Management rather than the narrow band width of Cost Management.
