    CED’s goal is to advance sound public policies that promote long-term and broad-based economic growth and opportunity for all Americans. Major policy issues that CED deals with include education reform, campaign finance reform, international trade and development, Social Security, economic and fiscal policy, workforce development, health care, legal and regulatory reform.

    The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is an American bipartisan foreign policy membership organization founded in 1921. Located at 58 East 68th Street (Park Avenue) in New York City, with an office in Washington, D.C. Some international journalists believe it to be ‘the most influential foreign-policy think tank.’ It publishes a bi-monthly journal Foreign Affairs. It has an extensive website, featuring links to its think tank, The David Rockefeller Studies Program, a new geoeconomic center, Emmy award-winning multimedia Crisis Guides Foreign Affairs, and many other projects, publications, history, biographies of notable directors and other board members, corporate members, and press releases.

    The Conference Board, Inc. is a non-profit global business organization supported by business executives that holds conferences, convenes executives and conducts business management research. It holds 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status in the United States. It connects more than 1600 corporations in nearly 60 nations, its worldwide conferences attracting more than 12,000 senior executives each year. These conferences bring together authorities on a wide variety of economic and management issues. More than 150 chief executive officers address Conference Board events each year. Conference Board meetings have been independently rated as one of Americas top speaking platforms. The Conference Board also sponsors and manages more than 100 worldwide management councils, attracting senior executives from virtually every business discipline.

    The main offices of the Conference Board are on Third Avenue in New York City. The Conference Board also operates offices in Brussels and Hong Kong. A similar but separate organization exists in Canada, the Conference Board of Canada.

    Jon Spector is the current Chief Executive Officer, and Gail Fosler is the current President of The Conference Board. On April 1, 2008, Bart van Ark was appointed as the first non-U.S. Chief Economist in the organization’s 92-year history.

    Henry Alfred Kissinger (born May 27, 1923) is a German-born American political scientist, diplomat, and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. He served as National Security Advisor and later concurrently as Secretary of State in the Nixon Administration.

    A proponent of Realpolitik, Kissinger played a dominant role in United States foreign policy between 1969 and 1977. During this period, he pioneered the policy of détente. He negotiated a settlement ending the Vietnam War, but the cease-fire proved unstable and no lasting peace resulted beyond the pullout of the US troops.

    Kissinger is still praised by colleagues today. He was honored as the first recipient of the Ewald von Kleist Award of the Munich Conference on Security Policy and currently serves as the chairman of Kissinger Associates, an international consulting firm. Kissinger was the “most frequent visitor” to the George W. Bush White House as an unofficial political adviser on Israel and the Middle East—including the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

    Kissinger is criticized and even accused of war crimes, most prominently by Christopher Hitchens, for the policies he promoted during the Vietnam war and for his role in the establishment of dictatorial regimes in Latin America.

    Partners For Progress- The Power of Story

    Posted by admin on February 10th, 2010 and filed under organization strategy | No Comments »

    Storytelling is described as a tool or technique used to talk about a story as a strategy for competitive advantage. The challenge for organizations is to move away from talking about storytelling and incorporating it into two places within the business:
    - Different workshops or classes
    - Into the processes where business is conducted

    After storytelling is incorporated, the message should be taken to the leadership within the organization and address three areas where it could benefit the organization:
    1. Move forward strategy for the organization as a whole
    2. Sales and marketing
    3. Branding

    It is also important to understand where the systems fit into the work process, and how they could benefit from a competency perspective.

    A few years ago, DDI was struggling to embed the organization’s three strategic priorities in employee thinking. An employee in the communications department came up with the idea to turn in six stories every two weeks, two stories on each of the three strategic priorities. The idea was to send a story on a Friday afternoon in a voicemail. Employees could do any of the following:
    - Listen in real-time
    - Save it and listen to it later
    - Download it to their computers
    - Download them online

    The President loved the idea and currently, each employee knows the three strategic priorities.

    Posted by admin on January 17th, 2010 and filed under leadership organization | No Comments »

    Tracy Huston argues that training is comfortable but that it does not change behavior very much. If this is true, this leads to the question of why we do we continue to do it? A group of CEOs came together through the Society for Organizational Learning to discuss this as well as how to develop and sustain a learning organization culture.
