Lesson #1: Profits Can Go Hand in Hand with the Public Good
| |
| “Over the past decades…while many businesses have pursued what I call ‘business as usual’, I have been part of a different, smaller business movement, one that tried to put idealism back on the agenda,” says Roddick. “If I can’t do something for the public good, what the hell am I doing?” |

3.6 Securing incomes: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Societies at all levels of development face the challenge of organizing
systems to provide security against contingencies such as sickness, accident,
death of the main breadwinner, disability, old age, maternity and unemployment
that make individuals, families and communities vulnerable to poverty.
Through solidarity and fair burden sharing, social security systems contribute
to human security, dignity, equity and social justice. They are also a foundation
for political inclusion, empowerment and the development of
democracy. Half of the world’s population is excluded from any type of
social security protection, with the rate of coverage varying from almost
100 per cent in some industrialized countries to less than 10 per cent in the
poorest developing countries. |

1.14 Our common challenge: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Poverty is not just a problem of the poor. It is a challenge for all defenders
of social justice and all seekers of sustainable growth. The goal of a
stable and prosperous world economy is only possible if the productivity and
consumer power of all its citizens are realized. A successful drive to raise the
consuming power of the majority of the world’s population, particularly
those on the lowest incomes, is fundamental to the broadening and deepening
of markets – the lifeline of enterprise and growth. Only when the poor
become real consumers will the economy become truly global. |

Social Graph - The Next Future Overused Phrase
| |
| Get ready to start hearing “Social Graph” as frequently as you hear “Web 2.0.” The construct of the Social Graph (and its friend – Social Network) has been around for a while. Now that Facebook has stolen our minds (and help us control our friends), we all are part of a social network. Or nine. Or 721 (that’s my best guess for the number of different services that have a social network that I’m a user of.) |

1.1 Our mandate: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| The ILO is anchored in social justice. The opening phrase of the Constitution
of the ILO, drafted in 1919, speaks to the headlines of today: “universal
and lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon social
justice”. |

1.2 From Copenhagen to the Millennium Declaration: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| In 1995, the Copenhagen Social Summit put the “people’s agenda”
back into the forefront of international policy.
By stressing the interlinked
challenges of poverty, unemployment and social exclusion as central to a
global social justice strategy, the Social Summit marked a turning point for
the multilateral system.
It reinforced the ILO mandate in the world of work
and gave new impetus to the promotion of core labour standards. |

COMMUNICATING THE VALUE OF YOUR SERVICES CREATING A NEW REALITY
| |
|
By John Doerr
“…but I know it when I see it.”
- Potter Stewart, Associate Justice, United States Supreme Court
In writing his ruling on pornography, Justice Stewart probably sounded like so many of the clients you work with as a professional service provider. Since you are selling something clients cannot see or touch, they have a hard time knowing exactly what they are buying and what value they will get in return.
