6.3 Come Together: Enterprise solutions to poverty
6.3 Come Together: Enterprise solutions to poverty
to explore new ways of tackling the scourge of
poverty with the aim of banishing it to the history
books. This is a moment to be seized upon.
Already there is much creative and bold
experimentation going on within the IDC, by
developing country governments, by leading
politicians and actors in the industrialised
countries, and by big business.
So the propositions put forward in this conclusion
that encourage focus and experimentation around
the issue of enterprise and poverty reduction do
not necessarily break new ground. This is very
positive because it means there is already much to
talk about and much to learn from each other.
Some of the right kind of talking and learning is
taking place but not enough – especially since the
‘sales pitches’ are already being made and plans are
already being laid to deploy the new pro-poor
political and resource commitments that appear to
be on the horizon in 2005.
Given the scale of the problem to be tackled and
the encouraging signs that results can be delivered,
the IDC, developing country governments and the
big business community need to explore the
enterprise–poverty territory together, robustly and
urgently.
This includes not just more talking but action as
well to invest in piloting new ways of working
together to tackle business environment obstacles
to enterprise development and growth. The Shell
Foundation over the coming months will be doing
what it can to catalyse such initiatives. We invite
others to join us.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
