Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are promoting volunteerism in Peru:
In Peru, where half the population lives below the poverty line, there will always be plenty of work for the country’s many willing volunteers. The challenge is finding them, connecting them to the causes they care about, and organizing those efforts to make an impact.
Peruvians haven’t been strangers to helping others; one out three Peruvians already do some kind of volunteering during the year (as opposed to only 26% in the United States). Until recently, many just hadn’t thought of themselves as “volunteers.”

Discurso rápido
Nevara aims to facilitate the growth of urban farms through providing comprehensive, high-tech and expert support services. This support will allow small farmers to pursue best practices at a low price, retain capital in local communities and make organic produce more accessible and affordable.
Problema
Urban communities have limited access to quality food, particularly organics, which disempowers and drains capital from communities and otherwise depresses the standard of living. Even as local and organic produce demand increases, many people remain unaware of the potential of urban farming. The market remains highly fragmented and in need of high-tech solutions and a solid marketing effort to achieve greater supply and demand efficiency.
Solución
Increased use of urban and local farming is the only solution to these problems that also empowers communities. Nevara aims to make this type of farming more accessible, affordable and common by reducing barriers to entry, providing expert knowledge and marketing support, promoting new urban farming techniques and developing solutions to specific problems. Nevara has a long-term vision of building a web-based Urban Farming Platform to facilitate production, distribution and sales of and coordinate community farming. Nevara will initially deliver consulting services for online fundraising and develop programs to promote healthy eating such as with Zapan, a new payment solution with rewards for healthy eating.
Ejemplo
Nevara is working towards deployment in Boulder, Colorado utilizing the technologies and expertise that we are developing in California. We will work with local leaders and community organizations to develop farming programs, market their products and grow. In particular, we will expose them to the newest urban farming techniques, especially aquaponics, that offers sustainability and a high level of nutrition to the community, which we hope will be attractive to local communities. We will connect them with companies like Shanghai Aquaponics, Kijani Grows and The Aquaponic Source, with whom we collaborate to provide individualized urban farms. Eventually, we will develop a self-sustaining network of urban growers to help feed Boulder.
Impacto
Our large scale triple-bottom line approach to farming will make greater availability and convenient delivery of local produce to the community a viable option. Furthermore, Nevara will optimize the whole value chain from seeds to restaurants, seeking to create efficiencies by extensive use of high-tech and introducing innovations and best practices. We believe that the impact of this work will also promote resilience and revitalization of communities. Nevara’s focus on Urban Farming will bring all the pieces together for organic farming to become sustainable, eliminating use of pesticides, soil contamination and Genetically Engineered (GE) produce of lower nutritional content. Communities with high levels of crime and unemployment will be given a path to prosperity by stimulating local trade and keeping more funds in the community.
Mercado
Many companies are, of course, attempting to resolve this problem. Some, for example, are developing lines of cheap, nutritious and easy to transport and use food. Other companies focus on other things including putting small grocery stores into local neighborhoods, programs to train those without farming skills or other education programs. Our company is unique in that it will focus on supporting and growing the urban farm market on a comprehensive basis, creating a, hopefully, sustainable system of farming to feed our cities.
Plan de Sustentabilidad
Nevara will initially deliver consulting services for online fundraising combined with donations from the community to get established. Self-sustainability will be achieved through continued consulting and distribution of non-GMO organic produce to the local community - such as Farmer’s Markets and Gourmet Restaurants. Focus is to achieve scale in selected cities and optimize the value chain.
Historia fundacional
Lars, our visionary charismatic leader, is the glue who has passionately built a team. It all started December 2012, with Tamara, Chad and Lars building the concept of a "democratic social network" as direct response to At that time Facebook's lack of democracy in their voting process.
Here is our presentation: www.TheHub.DemaCity.org
After promoting it on my wall a few times, I realized that people don't actually care about democracy when it comes to social networks.
With the www.HultPrize.org coming up, I finally realized that food is something we can all relate to, making EVERYTHING so much easier in terms of recruiting and spreading the word.
Events at Hult has since been boosting our growth, direction and recruiting! =)

Telling about corporate volunteering it's important to note that it unites the team very well. While some organizations spend big sums on special trainings and seminars to raise martial spirit of employees and their consolidation, corporate volunteering can replace such a waste of funds by offering its program to achieve similar goals. For example, in the frames of the project "Children's Friends" the staff of Omsk companies by making visits to the pediatric departments of hospitals in Omsk understand the social usefulness of the project, communicate with children, show their creativity and communication skills, and, in special cases, begin to see the world from different point of view. Anyway it’s always much more interesting to do good things with your own hands, rather than sit on boring trainings doing nothing. Thus, corporate volunteering is beneficial to all parties: to the company, employees, and society.

Our project is going, first of all, to create a volunteering group which is going to visit hospitals and entertain children with some activities. Also we plan to create life-sized puppet because children love big dolls.

Discurso rápido
"Children's Friends" is the project in frames of which volunteers visit pediatric departments with different events and entertainments for children staying for a treatment period in hospitals.
Problema
The problem is that children feel bored and sometimes even depressed in the walls of a hospital. We want to make them happier and make them smile more. We want to teach them to communicate with volunteers and each other, to understand some life values such as kindness, tenderness and so on.
Solución
Our project is aimed, first of all, at creating a volunteering group which is going to visit hospitals and entertain children with some activities. Also we plan to create life-sized puppet because children love big dolls.
Ejemplo
Children are afraid of hospitals. Telling about some hospitals in our city they don't like them more because there's no play rooms where they can spend their time. With some time we also plan to create normal conditions in these play rooms.
Impacto
We're going to wire our network of visits and go not only to hospitals within the city but to the region ones. The group of volunteers will be trained. And play rooms are rebuilt.
Mercado
There are some small similar projects. They are usually consist of students visiting orphans. They are making everything with their by their's own forces. But we can make this process bigger and more large-scaled.
Plan de Sustentabilidad
We have not a big budget for a project. Usually some sponsors and volunteers help us. But we don't have a permanent sponsor for the project and sometimes we can have some problems with financing.
Historia fundacional
The project was born in 2009 as one of the projects of Charitable Center of Helping Children "Raduga". But in 2013 the prohect has gor a renew when we decided to visit hospitals more than on some holidays as it was maid before. We decided to give more our attention to children in hospitals.

In 2006, the president of TdB, Dr. Fábio Bibancos, was recognized by the Schwab Foundation as the Social Entrepreneur of the Year because he created the project Dentists for Good. This award is conferred in Brazil, in partnership with the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo. In 2007, Ashoka named Dr. Fábio Bibancos as a fellow for his work completed, highlighting the project along with social entrepreneurs from all around the world.
Queremos saber acerca del momento en que dijiste “!Aja!”. Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundadores vieron el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
While giving lectures about prevention in public schools, Dr. Fábio Bibancos noticed that, for many young people, prevention just wasn't working anymore—so he teamed up with some colleagues and together, they began to take on pro bono cases in their practices. Thus, the idea for what would become the largest network of specialized volunteers was born: Dentists for Good.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarExplica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
The innovation in the project Dentists for Good lies in its management model: we manage a network of volunteer dentists who see the project's beneficiaries in their own offices. Which is to say, the beneficiary is treated by his Dentist for Good as if he were a normal, private patient. Besides that, the volunteer dentist can choose how many patients he wants to take on depending on his schedule and availability.
Because of this, the project does not have limits to its growth, and it is highly replicable: the project can take place in any city or region that has dentists—or any practicing clinical dentist can become a Dentist for Good.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Normally, social organizations that offer treatments and health solutions do so at their headquarters or at a specific address, and they quickly reach monthly limits determined by their ability and availability—not to mention the enormous waiting list for those in need.
The project Dentists for Good is characterized by offering a network of volunteer dentists that has not stopped growing precisely because it has not limited its service in its offices.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
1 - The project is internally seen as a map of growth facilitated by its chief actors and factors: coordinators, dentists, beneficiaries, open positions, and waiting list. In addition, the team has an active call center, which is where we conduct daily follow-ups with beneficiaries, treatment status, dentists, and newly-referred individuals. This creates a dynamic system: the opening of new spots (after the conclusion of treatment, for example) and the referral of new beneficiaries.
2 – The horizontal hierarchy of the organization also sustains the project, in light of all the team managers who are directly responsible for the systematic increase in numbers of volunteers and beneficiaries.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Through monthly strategy revisions based on an analysis of the project map (dentists vs. beneficiaries). Besides that, we hold training events for coordinators: the project's principal volunteer is the regional volunteer coordinator. He is the person responsible for implementing the project in his city—screening and registering new volunteers. The project offers a 4-day training session for its coordinators, implementing goals and teaching the organization's new strategies. With knowledgeable and motivated coordinators, the training session guarantees the success of next year's goals due to the coordinator's personal oversight for the rest of the year. Right now we are studying the viability of holding mini-trainings for new coordinators throughout the year.

Brazil is a country of toothless individuals. Research indicates that half of the Brazilian population does not have a mouth full of teeth, and a third of adolescents in public schools have never been to the dentist. In the rest of the world, the problem is not much different. To make things worse, the general population's access to dental kits (toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss), which is the only tool that prevents oral damage, is very limited (the absence of these items in public health clinics and in the “basic food basket” is proof of this). Beyond that, society still does not view access to oral health as a medical right, but rather as a luxury. On the other hand, the government does not offer any sort of viable program, and the dentists in general do not see themselves as agents of health and social transformation.

Por favor describe tu solución con más detalle
The project Dentists for Good manages a network of volunteer dentists who provide services to youth in need from ages 11 to 17 who have serious dental conditions. All of the treatment support and followup—selection, referral, monitoring of monthly treatments, and conclusion—is done at the project's office. The project has three main base groups: volunteer dentists (who see one or more youths in their own offices, at their own discretion); beneficiaries (who are treated by the dentists and selected through screenings in public schools and institutions); and lastly, regional coordinators. These are also volunteers and dentists, but their mission is to stimulate the project in their cities by hosting screenings and recruiting new volunteer dentists.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
Our vision is to help create a world where everyone can smile, and our mission is to change society's perception of both oral health and the dental profession in relation to its socio-environmental impact. Our goal is to offer solutions for accessing dental care while stressing healing, prevention, and education. Our proposals:
For society: to promote solutions for access to dental care
For the dental profession: To empower and mobilize dental professionals to adopt new socio-environmental conduct.
For the business sector: To discuss ethical practices in dentistry. To incentivize low-cost products and services in order to promote access. To inspire responsible conduct in other sectors.
For government: To influence and change policies.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
Through the recovery of oral health, we seek the following for our patients:
-Increase in quality of life
-Ease of entry into the job market, given that companies either discriminate against or do not hire those without teeth. And, consequently, an increase in monthly household income.
-Rescue of social and family life, due to the fact that almost all new beneficiaries have suffered bullying and social discrimination at school and in their social circles.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Young people from 11 to 17 years old who attend public school or use public institutions, who are in need, and who present with serious oral conditions. The choice of this public is because the social impact of serious dental damage is much larger in adolescents than in adults (social environment, employability, bullying, etc.), and also because dentition is already formed (in comparison to children).
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
Screenings in public schools and social institutions. The volunteer coordinator, along with a director or social worker, reserves a time for screening registered students. The volunteer coordinator conducts a visual, non-invasive exam of all the youths and fills out a record form called IHC. This record also shows the social condition of the screened individual. Next, the coordinator sends all of the IHC records to the organization headquarters, where candidates are selected based on 3 criteria: the oldest (who are the closest to employment), the poorest, and those who have the worst oral damage.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
Through its network of volunteers, Dentists for Good offers free dental treatment to youths from 11 years old on until they reach 18. Or rather, once in the project, youths only exit once they have reached the age of legal majority and received all of the necessary treatment, including orthodontic.
Smiles for Good – a training seminar for volunteer coordinators, an 4-day event that, in addition to training new coordinators, is geared towards motivating, aligning, and training existing network coordinators. In 2012, the event hosted 400 coordinators from 12 countries.
Smiles for Good Awards: an awards event, open to the public, which has the goal of recognizing the work of the best volunteers in our network. In 2012, the awards event hosted 1800 guests in the Abril Theater.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
The Abrinq Foundation runs the Adotei um Sorriso (Adopt a Smile) project, but in contrast to Dentists for Good, this project has no criteria for selecting beneficiaries. In general, dentists and clinics end up providing some kind of free or voluntary service on some level to those in need. The problem is that the people, including dental professionals, who participate in these one-off events believe that the dental and social problems have been solved, which is far from true. Another problem is that oftentimes, because of these services, public schools close their doors to our volunteer coordinators; the school's directors, who have the final say, do not let our project come to the school because they believe that there is no longer a problem in their area.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
Right now the project is 90% funded by supporters (companies). In the medium term, the project relies on a strategy that reverses this percentage and comes to depend less on private social investment. One of the strategies is the creation of a reserve fund by selling dental products, whose returns will be reverted back to the project. Another challenge will be bringing the project to rural regions that do not have dentists. Right now, the Dentists for Good model is essentially urban. Therefore, we have been studying implementation and have designed a few projects in areas that are far from urban centers, in Brazil as well as on the African continent.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
To increase the number of volunteers, beneficiaries, and regions and countries where the project operates. Diversification of donations and of the organization's resources. Project implementation in rural, distant areas where there are no dentists, such as the African continent.

Nueva(s) región(es), Nuevo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).
¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
The project's strategic design and solid organization. A team of highly capable employees. The implementation of new strategies this year: screening megaevents open to the entire Brazilian public, the sale of products whose financial yields are used for the project, and mini training sessions for new coordinators.
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
An increase in volunteers and beneficiaries and expansion into new regions and countries. Moreover, the diversification of donations and partnerships.
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
The project has an annual beneficiaries goal. By 2015 we want to have sixty-five thousand patients and thirty thousand dentists.
In order to reach this goal, we need to implement the weekend training events throughout the year, bringing on new coordinators.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Around 31 thousand youths in 12 countries have benefited from the project—creating a network of specialized volunteers that is the largest in the world today. The model of the volunteer in his own office revolutionizes healthcare access wherever the project goes, forming a network of health and support where there was none before. The social perception of the volunteers also changes: dentists change their visions as healthcare professionals and turn into a transformative element in their cities, proposing changes in public policy, in local emergency clinics, and in schools. By recovering oral health, we enable the beneficiaries to return to their social lives and save their self esteem, and they are given a real chance to integrate into the economically active population. Furthermore, the project has a social return: when added up, each beneficiary costs just R$50 on average—whereas if each beneficiary had to pay for his treatment, it would cost an average of R$12,000.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
Our project uses a CRM software and with it, we manage every stage of treatment in each of the project's cities, and every minute we update patient numbers, dentists, availabilities, and waiting list, all organized by region, city, state, and country. In addition, we conduct research among patients and the best dentists in the network.
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
Yes, in practically any place in the world where there is a dentist, due to the model in which the dentist sees the beneficiary in the comfort of his own practice. In regions where there are no dentists, which are quite remote, it may be viable to install a network and a mobile structure that have been previously evaluated in certain regions of the world.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
In 2013, 45 thousand total beneficiaries.
In 2014, 55 thousand;
and in 2015, 65 thousand beneficiaries.
As for volunteer dentists, in 2013, there will be 16 thousand, followed by around 20 thousand in 2014 and, in 2015, about 30 thousand volunteer dentists in total.

Right now, TbD (the NGO in charge of Dentists for Good) works with eight collaborators, six in Brazil and two in Portugal. These are companies or foundations that collaborate with OSCIP. Apart from that, we are putting into effect a strategy to diversify project's sources of funding. One of those is the Friends for Good campaign, which works with the network of Dentists for Good coordinators. In this campaign, the coordinator asks his friends for help in increasing not just funding, but also the network of collaborators and friends of the project. Our goal for this first year is to raise R$100,000 by the end of the year. Another strategy is the sale of products whose profits revert back into the project. With the help of collaborators in the dental product industry, a part of the returns will be donated to the project. The amount will be proportional to the number of products sold to the Dentists for Good, who will receive progressive discounts according to the number of patients served. We have also contracted a consultant who specializes in events, partnerships, and product releases to help us to develop new revenue sources together with other companies and initiatives.

A New Vision (ANV) is about applying practical solution to end avoidable blindness, urgently.
ANV works by setting examples on how the solution can be applied; how multiple partners (including non-traditional partners) can play defining role in this solution; how to break current resistance and barriers, all which cannot be done by continuing current "business as usual" approach.

Seeing how a 5-minute cataract surgery which costs less than a dinner can instantly change the lives of blind patients and their families.
Millions of people stay blind unnecessarily; a cure is available now, no research or medical breakthrough is required. We only need to change the game to end their blindness.

A New Vision (ANV)’s mission is to help eradicate avoidable blindness.
ANV innovative ideas:
a. Utilize and build the capacity non-traditional resources:
ANV engages members of the Indonesian military (Bintara Pembina Desa/”Babinsa” or Petty Army Office for Village Development) to find villagers with cataract blindness for ANV charity cataract surgery events.
Babinsa is not combat personnel but stationed in each village for security and development. Babinsa are great resources as they live and work in local community and they work well under chain of command. This is especially advantageous under current territorial autonomy in Indonesia where Central Government no longer can command Provincial Government and so forth.
ANV trains Babinsa on basic eye health to identify people with cataract blindness and refer those with other eye diseases to seek treatment. Babinsa also bring primary care workers/health volunteers from their areas to this training.
b. Involve wider community:
Community eye hospitals are proven successful in Nepal and India (www.aravind.org/www.tilganga.org). ANV’s innovation ideas include:
• Involve wider community with initial operating funds sourced from crowd funding
• Invite local ophthalmologists to have stakes in this community eye hospital
• Continue community awareness and education on eye health
• Utilize Babinsa
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Seeing the success in utilizing Babinsa, other NGOs are now starting to use them too, to find cataract patients for their charity events but ANV is the only organization to give Babinsa the required training.
ANV is the only international NGO in Indonesia engaging private social enterprises to build, run and own high quality, affordable and sustainable community eye hospitals. The said crowd funding approach will also be the first for health sector in Indonesia.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
The community eye hospitals ANV envisages aim to give high quality eye-care affordable to all. Profits earned from paying patients shall subsidize lower cost or free treatment to those who can’t afford.
This cross subsidy approach has been proven successful in other parts of the world and will be tailored for Indonesia.
Getting wider community involvement (private social enterprises, crowd funding, local ophthalmologists, Babinsa etc.) will help create a sense of belonging by all.
ANV has good and growing relationship with these multiple stakeholders, as well as extremely good reputation on quality from ANV’s past charity cataract surgery events.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
To-date we have trained 3,000 Babinsa and 500 primary care workers.
Future training will include village chiefs, women association, religious and community leaders. They too, can refer patients to community eye hospitals and/or log patients’ details for charity events.
ANV is in discussion with three groups of private social enterprises for potential hospital in three provinces. A successful model can be replicated across the country. The private sector’s interest is strong. With an estimated 3.5m Indonesians blind, the demand is there. We just need a catalyst to start the spark.

Por favor describe con mayor detalle: ¿qué problema estás tratando de solucionar en el contexto específico?
The two biggest barriers preventing the blind from getting treatment are awareness and affordability.
Indonesia has 9100 primary care clinics but the clinics’ role is passive, treat only patients who come. Many blind patients don’t go to clinics, believing it is not treatable, doubtful over the quality or the treatment is not affordable.
The cost of cataract surgery is USD450/eye at public hospital, too prohibitive for the 120 million Indonesians (50% of the population) who earn less than USD2 a day* (*source: The Jakarta Post, Beyond Statistics of Poverty, Iin P. Handayani, February 13 2012)
Thus, surgery output is very low (averaging less than 10 cataract surgeries/hospital/week), making Indonesia the country with one of the lowest Cataract Surgical Rate in the world.

Formación/capacitación, Financiamiento comunitario.
Por favor describe tu solución con más detalle
Solution: break the awareness and affordability barriers.
Awareness:
* Regular training to grass roots resources (Babinsa, village chiefs etc.)
*Use media to help improve public awareness on avoidable blindness.
* Increase accessibility to treatment by providing transportation to the hospital.
*Improve the surgery quality by training and incentivising medical and hospital staff.
Affordability:
* Make available high quality and affordable community eye hospitals.
* Targeted free (charity) cataract surgery to ensure the unreached is reached.
* Document surgery output and outcome; share this data with the public and policy makers. This is useful in advocating eye health to policy makers.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
Our vision is a world where no one is blind needlessly.
Technology and accessible treatment are available for 80% of blindness (cataracts and refractive errors; source: Vision2020, International Agency for Prevention of Blindness).
No one should remain blind simply because of lack of awareness or inability to pay.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
Utilize our international and local network to mobilize local community to take part in ending avoidable blindness.
ANV is a young organization with little resources but we have made good impact in local community and we are well known for high volume and high quality cataract surgeries. We are on the right track to take the work to the next level – drive the building of sustainable community eye hospitals.
We can collaborate with non-traditional partners (Babinsa and private social enterprise). We also collaborate with large INGOs - The Fred Hollows Foundation (www.hollows.org.au) to share knowledge and compliment each other’s work.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Our customers are:
1. Paying patients
2. Non-paying patients
Profits made from paying patients are used to fund subsidized or free treatment to the unreached.
The quality of treatment is the same for both paid and free patients. Only the level of comfort in service differentiates the two categories of patients.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
Community education – basic eye health training for Babinsa, village chiefs, local women associations, religious and community leaders.
Publicity – media (radio), stage play, flyers, banners.
Making accessibility easy – provide scheduled and regular transportation to the hospitals.
Referral by shareholders – members of the private social enterprise and local ophthalmologists association are likely to refer customers to this hospital.
Word of mouth – high quality yet affordable treatment with good service experienced by patients will be invaluable referral for future patients.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
- Community education on basic eye health.
- Build the capacity of local medical team by funding intensive quality training on cataract surgery.
- Equip trained local medical team with mobile equipment and encourage them to actively take part in community work including charity surgery events held by other NGOs.
- Drive private social enterprise to start the building of sustainable community eye hospitals.
- Connect the private social enterprise with other INGO (eg. The Fred Hollows Foundation) for additional support.
- Advocate policy makers by presenting record and output and outcome data from our activities.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
There are no real comparable peers or competitors in what we try to do. Private for-profit eye clinics/hospitals may see us as a threat and competitor but it is a misguided because there are so many patients who are currently not serviced due to lack of awareness, trust (quality) and affordability.
For the middle to upper middle class patients, their trust in the local quality of surgeries is low. Many choose to have their cataract surgeries abroad even though it costs a lot (Malaysia, Singapore)
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
Our challenges are For-Profit eye hospitals who are going to view low cost high quality eye hospitals as a threat to their business and they might use local ophthalmologists association to influence the authority to stop this hospital from operating.
To overcome, we encourage private social enterprise to invite local ophthalmic association to have profit shares in this hospital.
The local ophthalmic association keep their share of profits. Only share of profits owned by private social enterprise will be used to subsidize free treatment for the poor.
As a result, local ophthalmologists will also help refer patients to this hospital and help it grow.
Overtime, the market will prove that the greater the public awareness, the more patients for everyone.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
The strategy is to have one sustainable community eye hospital operating by year 2014, this gives us one year to secure crowd funding, recruit and train personnel, refurbish the hospital, increase the training to the community.
Once the hospital is running, the operating model can be quickly applied to the second and third hospital in other provinces.
¿Qué dimensiones de crecimiento estás actualmente focalizando para tu innovación? [selecciona todas las que correspondan]
Nuevos clientes grupo/s, Nueva(s) región(es).
¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
There are public demands and interest from social enterprises.
First three years: new regions (other provinces)
After three years: with good reputation established, the hospital can:
* Expand the scope of treatment to include other eye sub-specialties.
* Reach to customers who currently seek treatment overseas.
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
The growth objectives we envisage are:
* To replicate this hospital model across Indonesia’s 33 provinces.
* To influence policy makers to place greater resources on eye health and put eye health on priority health list.
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
Please kindly refer to answers in 3.2.a and 3.2.b above.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
ANV is the first in Indonesia to hold:
*High-volume high-quality cataract surgery events
*High-volume community training on basic eye health and awareness
To-date we have performed 3,751 surgeries in 4 events; trained 3 local medical teams (3 surgeons, 6 paramedics); equipped 2 local eye clinics; trained 3,500 Babinsa and primary care workers.
2,384 surgeries were performed on those who are still in productive age (20’s to 60’s); 80 surgeries were on children/juvenile.
The impact on sight restoration is not limited to only the patients but also their family members. This impact is immeasurable but one can imagine how powerful it is.
Please find attached ANV’ past newsletters with stories on some patients.
This high volume event is possible with Babinsa’s contribution. The high quality is possible by training local medical teams.
But charity event cannot resolve the blindness problem and the barriers to treatment currently faced by patients must be resolved. ANV hopes the privately owned and well-run community eye hospital can be the catalyst.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
By getting private sector to take the lead, ANV hopes to demonstrate to the government and policy makers that high quality yet affordable community eye hospitals is possible and sustainable.
Eradicating avoidable blindness does not cost much, yet the impact is multi-folds in economics terms and immeasurable in social terms, for the patients, their families and the country.
A successful cross subsidy scheme in eye care may also incentivize numerous existing privately owned and run free general medical clinics across Indonesia to look into similar scheme for other specialized treatment such as kidney dialysis, dental etc.
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
Yes, virtually everywhere.
Privately owned and run sustainable community eye hospital model has been proven successful in India and Nepal, they play significant role in reducing avoidable blindness in these countries.
What we do differently is bringing in non-traditional partners, ie. Babinsa, village chiefs, private social enterprises and local ophthalmologists association to take part in this community program.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Year 0: Staff for the community eye hospital #1 recruited and trained. Facility is ready.
Year 1: Hospital #1 restored 3000 eye sights (80% free patients). Model starts replicated in other provinces (hospital #2 and #3). Recruit additional surgeon for hospital #1.
Year 2: Hospital #1 restored 6600 sights (70% free patients). Hospital #2 and #3 start operating with similar targets as Hospital #1's year 1. Total 15,600 sights restored by the 3 hospitals. Recruit additional surgeons for other eye specialties.
Year 3: Hospital #1 restored 7500 sights (60% free patients). Total 20,700 sights restored by the 3 hospitals.
If Hospital #1 does 7,500 surgeries as projected, this will represent 50% of estimated annual cataract incidents in North Sumatra, before clearing existing backlog.

Currently, 50% ANV’s funds are generated from corporate donors (international companies with active businesses in Indonesia and large local companies). This % is expected to grow with more corporate donors becoming interested, citing they have CSR funds which are unused because they can't find a cause or operator who they like and trust.
We approach these corporation via. personal introduction to the senior management. Some corporations read up on us and contacted us directly.

II. Approach multinational companies who have active businesses in Indonesia to fund majority of the cost of charity cataract surgical events. Once they see the impact, they are often willing to expand the support to include funding the training of local medical team and community awareness.
III. Use our reputation gained from these charity events to get into discussion with private social enterprises to own and run community eye hospitals.

ANV does not fund the building of community eye hospitals. Subject to availability of funds and performance of the hospital in the early years, ANV may contribute intraocular lenses for surgeries done on free patients at these hospitals.

Blooders.org - Conexión entre las personas que cuentan con una necesidad de sangre y las que están dispuestas a donarla.
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
MODELO
La innovación radica en el modelo en el que atacamos el problema. Explicaré nuestra innovación a manera de una historia para que sea muy fácil de entenderla:
Paso 1 - Carlos es un donador altruista que se entera de Blooders.org y se registra como O-
Paso 2 - Andrea necesita sangre para su tratamiento, por lo que ingresa una necesidad de sangre en Blooders.org
Paso 3 - Nuestra plataforma emite un llamado de acción por correo y SMS a todos los Blooders O- que se encuentren en la misma ciudad que Andrea.
POBLACIÓN OBJETIVO
Nuestra población objetivo es el rango de 18 a 35 años.
Una clave importante para el éxito del proyecto es el lenguaje que utilizamos, éste es fresco, original y sin los estigmas que generalmente rondan acerca de la donación de sangre.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
La mayoría son páginas de internet que no generan la conexión que nosotros si logramos. El otro competidor que tenemos son los grupos de Facebook pero de igual manera no generan la interacción que nosotros si logramos, por otra parte creemos que éste último no es el medio más adecuado para este tipo de cuestiones.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
Los factores de éxito son los siguientes:
- Costos de Operación Muy Bajos.
- Un equipo de trabajo multidisciplinario.
- Vinculación con Universidades, Hospitales y Sector Gobierno.
- Modelo fácil de replicar en diferentes ciudades, estados y/o países.
*Somos la única plataforma que generamos la conexión efectiva (mediante SMS y correo) entre quien dona y quien necesita la sangre.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Nuestro plan de crecimiento esta diseñado para involucrar campeones/representantes en cada una de las áreas que deseen y/o estén preparados para adoptar el proyecto. Actualmente la operación empezará en Monterrey pero ya tenemos gente interesada en replicar el modelo en Villahermosa.
Nos aseguraremos de innnovar constantemente mediante la generación de Analíticos en la página así como una encuesta sencilla para detectar el porcentaje de cumplimiento de los llamados de acción. Nuestro primer objetivo es que de cada 10 necesidades de sangre se cumplan 8 de éstas.

En la parte de tecnología contaremos con una plataforma web así como con el desarrollo de una aplicación (IOS y Android). El modelo será documentado en su totalidad apra transmitir el Know How en otras áreas donde quiera ser aplicado pero la plataforma será la misma. El financiamiento será por medio de la comunidad y se buscarán donaciones con los usuarios del servicio así como por la venta de artículos promocionales de concientización del proyecto. Éste es un proyecto de "Todos para todos". Blooders.org empieza en México pero tiene el potencial de escalarse a otros países fácilmente.

Es una organización sin fines de lucro, sin embargo será necesario cubrir los costos fijos de operación. Que es importante mencionar que son pocos.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Cada persona que necesite sangre, así como los bancos de sangre de las comunidades cercanas. Partiendo de que no sabemos en que momento vayamos a necesitar sangre, creo que los beneficiarios somos todos.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
Dado que Blooder.org nace de un juego de palabras en inglés blood + brothers = hermanos de sangre, queremos llegar a los jóvenes mediante un propuesta actual, con un lenguaje fresco y divertido y generando pertenencia.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
Conectar a las personas vía la paltaforma blooders.org (Proceso automatizado)
Generar conciencia mediante eventos (Conciertos) y redes sociales.

Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
My Venture addresses the issue of Autism Spectrum Disorder, which disables children all around the world. The way this problem will be addressed is through many different methods, such as fundraisers and volunteering at schools for children with Autism. Raising money towards Autism research helps, and so does helping individual children with autism. A way to help children with Autism, as I have found, is to use music as therapy for these children. I have played my instrument for children at a school, and it allows them to calm down or even to focus. My efforts have gone further than this, and I have donated iPods which are used for music and for audio clips used for learning. In the future, I look forward to gaining more technological devices to donate such as iPads and other devices.
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
My venture is geared to help children with Autism in any way possible. It will raise money towards Autism Research, the building of schools, and the supplying of school materials. As well as this, my venture stresses an importance on volunteer work, and it is crucial that I gain volunteers that are willing to help a child with Autism. The musical aspect of my venture will also be important, as I will continue to search for others who are musically inclined to volunteer at schools. As well as volunteering at schools, I will make it a goal to host benefit concerts, and to play at charity events for Autism. Although music is an important part of my venture, it is not the only part, and I also see an importance in allowing children with Autism to receive the best education that they can possibly achieve. I will do this through using raised money to buy supplies, help renovate and build schools, and create the opportunity for new technological advances at this school.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Ways that my venture will make a difference have a larger scale of impact, and a smaller, more concise scale of impact. What I believe to be the larger scale is the raising of money towards Autism research and the raising of money to benefit schools for children with Autism. These two ideas will be important, for once I raise enough money, I will be able to donate this money to more and more locations, therefore spreading my venture. On a smaller scale, volunteer work will also be one of the activities in my venture. Although volunteering at a school for children with Autism will not raise money to find a cure, it will positively affect the life of the child, who needs as much help as he or she can get when it comes to an education. As I have previously addressed, music will also be an important part of my venture. Whether it is through volunteering musicians visiting nearby schools, or benefit concerts, music is a crucial part of my venture. It allows for the raising of money, but also allows children with Autism to experience music while they are being educated. It is said that music is therapeutic to these children, and it allows them to focus, therefore helping them learn.
La comunidad: Define tu comunidad, local, nacional o internacional, con la cual vas a trabajar. ¿Cuál es tu público objetivo, a qué población vas a dirigir tus acciones? ¿Existen otras organizaciones que ya trabajan en este tema en tu comunidad?
Initially, my goal will be to work on behalf of the area around me, and let my venture grow from there. The entire population should be aware of Autism, and by raising money for the cause, I will also be able to spread the world to communities around mine. As these communities become more aware, I am hoping that they will spread their knowledge to others. As this knowledge is spread, my venture will also be spread further, until it has reached a nationwide level. This may be wishful thinking, but I believe that with the help of difference makers around the country, I will be able to accomplish this, especially considering that Autism is an important topic that should be known about by anyone.
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
The way I first heard about Autism was through a video that was sent to my email. This video affected me, and I thought that with my musical ability and willingness to help, I could make an impact somehow in the community. As I began raising money by playing violin at events, I discovered that there were other ways that I could still help the cause. I began donating the money I had raised to a nearby school, and after speaking with the school, they believed that I should go to the school to play for the children there. Going class to class, I would play music for the children, and I could see how it positively affected them. From that point on I have continued to find other methods of benefitting Autism research, and the education of children with Autism
¿Cuál es la visión a largo plazo de tu emprendimiento?
The long term vision of my Venture is to eventually see my venture spread outside of my community to around the nation. This way, people around the nation will raise awareness for Autism, donate money, and volunteer at schools in their areas. As my Venture spreads, I would also like any others to pitch in with their own ideas for ways to help children with Autism. This way, we will be able to find more and more ways to raise money, volunteer, or do any other activities that may benefit the cause.
Define tu empresa, programa, servicio o producto en 1-2 frases cortas.
The main goal of this is to allow people in the community to contribute in helping children with Autism, a disorder that affects children all around the world.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Qué quieres lograr en tu primer año?
The goal I wish to accomplish in my first year is to raise awareness in my community and hold many fundraisers to gain money for local schools. Another thing I wish to do is to host benefit concerts for Autism. While spreading the word, I also would like to search the community for others who are willing to volunteer at local schools. I don't wish to spread my venture too wide the first year, and I would rather establish a large amount of success locally before venturing out further.

¿Qué indicadores(s) usarás para medir el éxito de tu emprendimiento durante el primer año?
I will measure success not by the amount of money I raise towards my cause, but by the amount of people which my venture affects. Although it is only aimed towards helping children with Autism, I believe that my venture will allow communities around the nation to come together in order to fight for a common cause.
¿Por qué?
I believe that money is important, but should not be the critical point of whether something is successful or not.

Many communities believe that they are prepared for emergencies when, in truth, they are not. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in “Preparing Your Community” (2012), challenges communities to create emergency preparedness activities and to provide outreach and education. FEMA encourages communities to prepare for man-made and natural emergencies, crises, and disasters by building a corps of trained civilian volunteers that would serve to build capacity for first responders, should an emergency situation occur.

Web-Based Collaborative Community Asset Map for Rural Communities

What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
Many communities believe that they are prepared for emergencies when, in truth, they are not. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in “Preparing Your Community” (2012), challenges communities to create emergency preparedness activities and to provide outreach and education. FEMA encourages communities to prepare for man-made and natural emergencies, crises, and disasters by building a corps of trained civilian volunteers that would serve to build capacity for first responders, should an emergency situation occur. The Dobbins/Oregon House community is more than 20 miles from the nearest town-based disaster services. A whole family and community approach using collaborative asset mapping would encourage authentic dialogue, promote resilient relationships, and strengthen capacity.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
I have prepared this project as a result of research during three graduate courses this semester (Spring 2013) in the MLIS program, San José State University School of Library and Information Science—Disaster Informatics with Chris Hagar, Hyperlinked Library with Michael Stephens, and Grant Writing with Patricia Wong. I created a proposal to DOHIF Board Vice Chair, Greg Holman, and received a favorable response and a request to meet to discuss the project. It is possible that by documenting each step of the project, from initial preparations and support from Serve2Gether to a successful launch of a community-created knowledge commons embedded in a web-based asset map, that other rural communities would be inspired and empowered to create community asset maps as aids to resilience and authentic dialogue among their diverse and often isolated populations.

Opportunity Analysis
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
In order to design a web-based collaborative asset mapping project headquartered in a volunteer organization and community hub (The Alcouffe Center), we will need strategies to create and sustain powerful and resilient relationships among community members in order to make the map a truly "whole community approach." We will need help with strategies for collaboration among active volunteers, for identifying new and possibly hesitant participants, for offering opportunities to disenfranchised community members, for offering involvement to disabled, very young, and elderly community members, for attracting participation from community members who may not think that they need community. Our rural community has a broad diversity of culture, heritage, education, and socioeconomic levels, and these factions need ways to come together. With the collaborative map as the focus, we will need help with strategies to bring whole community and whole family commitment to the project.

Integrity/straightforwardness
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Support from American Express would be focused on developing the strategies to communicate the idea, the benefits, and the outcomes from a collaboratively-created, web-based community asset map so well, that a highly diverse, rural population will come together in "whole community" participation. As an extra, it would be wonderful to have American Express available to consult on how to best document the entire process as an instructional tool and pilot project for other rural communities.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
I personally have worked with Federal and State consultants to set up and operate independent Federal- and State-Reimbursed Free and Reduced Meal Programs for a Yuba County Public Charter School. The DOHIF Board and The Alcouffe Center volunteers work with outside consultants to create and maintain the amazing community center and property in Oregon House. My experience with GIS (ESRI, with FEMA) as an educator, student, and independent contractor and my research into the Asset-Based Community Development movement out of Northwestern University influenced me to design this project.

2.

3.
Greater community resilience and stronger intra-community dependencies - greater preparedness
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Dr. Chris Hagar (Disaster Informatics), Dr. Michael Stephens (Hyperlinked Library), and Dr. Patricia Wong (Grant Writing) have all encouraged me to actively pursue this project because of FEMA's recent directives focused on community preparedness. When I presented the project proposal and description to DOHIF Board Vice Chair Greg Holman, he wanted to meet within two days after receiving the proposal. The facilities, community volunteers, hardware, and software are all in place and could be put into action quickly. Professional guidance for properly communicating the project to the community and deeply involving diverse members of the community in a collaborative endeavor is missing.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
The project has a much greater chance of creating an example (through the documentation) of whole community approach and collaborative asset mapping, if we have professional support for designing strategies to create and strengthen relationships. Word of mouth, flyers in the local store, phone calls... are all tactics... but they are not strategies that can scale, and they are not really a strategic "whole." We need professional support to make this a "relationship" success.

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
To assess our competitive position and and better evaluate its performance. This would be useful for analyzing why we have a strong community that people want to become engaged in yet but have difficulty asking for funding. We would use the information to adjust the information on our website and our marketing strategy. Currently we have a strong social media presence for an organization our size (Twitter 6200 followers and Facebook 1600+).
We would also like to improve customer communications with the participants we serve directly, our volunteers, supporters and on social media. The assessment would be beneficial for us to share with all of our stake holders (participants, volunteers, supporters, social media, corporate and community partners).

The support from American Express will be focused on our Life Makeover Program. One of the challenges we face is fund raising. When people hear about our project, they want to become part of it. We have been incredibly successful providing value (serving 200 people each week on $44 845 last fiscal year). By being able to evaluate and shift our marketing to continue to engage and build our community we would like to be able to increase our financial resources as we build our human resources. This enables us to better serve our participants and increase our programming in different areas.

Unite For Sight (UFS) is a non-profit global health delivery organization that empowers communities worldwide to improve eye health and eliminate preventable blindness. UFS has provided eye care to more than 1.6 million people worldwide, including more than 65,000 sight-restoring surgeries for patients living in poverty. Unite For Sight believes in the social entrepreneurial vision and commitment of local medical professionals, and we develop a powerful synergy by harnessing the entrepreneurial talent of local healthcare leaders with support in the form of human and financial resources. Unite For Sight partners with local eye clinics to eliminate patient barriers to care and to provide consistent, quality, and sustainable eye care to patients in rural villages, slums, and refugee camps.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
Unite For Sight supports eye clinics worldwide by investing human and financial resources in their social ventures to eliminate patient barriers to eye care. As a global health delivery organization, Unite For Sight partners with local eye clinics to identify community-specific barriers that impede effective eye care delivery for patients living in extreme poverty. We would like to further eliminate patient barriers to care for the hardest-to-reach patients in Ghana, Honduras, and India. We would also like to provide at least 10,567 sight-restoring surgeries in 2013, which will enable us to reach 74,000 surgeries since our international programs commenced in 2005.
In addition to enhancing our healthcare delivery programs, we would also like to further expand our Global Impact Corps program. Global Impact Fellow volunteers come from diverse backgrounds and have a variety of interests in public health, medicine, international development, social entrepreneurship, and the social sciences. Through professional marketing strategies, we would like to expand our Global Impact Corps program so that it recruits a wider range of participants from many backgrounds and talents.

Digital Marketing Strategy
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
Unite For Sight's staff is comprised of public health experts who focus on our healthcare delivery programs that eliminate patient barriers to care. Our staff does not have the talent or expertise of marketing or branding professionals. Through our own independent research, we have worked hard to learn about and apply marketing and branding strategies. However, with pro bono professional message & brand strategy, as well as digital marketing strategy, Unite For Sight's programs will be able to further substantially scale.
In addition to providing quality eye care for patients living in extreme poverty, Unite For Sight has other program divisions that would be significantly impacted by professional marketing and branding strategies. Unite For Sight's annual Global Health & Innovation Conference is the world's largest global health conference. Additionally, Unite For Sight's Global Impact Corps program is an unparalleled global health volunteer experience for students and professionals. Unite For Sight's Global Health University offers online courses and certificate training programs.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Support from American Express would focus on marketing and branding the organization, as well as three of the program divisions: Global Health & Innovation Conference, Global Impact Corps, and Global Health University.
We scale our overall impact on global health delivery by developing and nurturing global health leaders. Global Impact Fellows learn how to apply Unite For Sight's successful public health strategies to their future global health work. Global Health University offers online certificate programs. The Global Health & Innovation Conference annually convenes 2,200 participants.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
We are a public health organization that does not have specialized expertise in marketing or branding. Throughout our history, we have researched and sought advice on marketing and branding strategies. However, we have not had an opportunity to directly engage marketing professionals. Professional pro bono strategies in messaging, branding, and digital marketing, would enable Unite For Sight's programs to further substantially scale, and this type of pro bono assistance is exactly what our organization has recently been seeking.

With Unite For Sight’s support in the form of human and financial resource, nine eye clinic partners in Ghana, Honduras, and India eliminate patient barriers to care. Unite For Sight’s programs fully fund surgeries, bring eye care services to the patients in villages and refugee camps, provide transportation to the eye clinic for surgery as needed, and educate communities about blindness elimination. Unite For Sight has provided eye care to more than 1.6 million patients, including more than 65,000 sight-restoring surgeries. Additionally, our Global Impact Corps and Global Health University develop and nurture the next generation of global health leaders. Unite For Sight's Global Health & Innovation Conference is the world's largest global health and social entrepreneurship conference.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
Unite For Sight's programs are designed to continually enhance global health delivery, both with our eye clinic partners, and on a broad scale. We review cutting-edge research and share these lessons with each eye clinic partner so that they can apply new practices in the field. Concurrently, we also develop our own original research that is implemented by our Global Impact Corps volunteers in cooperation and consultation with our eye clinic partners. The Global Impact Fellows receive global health training, and they are the next generation of global health leaders.
With support from American Express, we will improve our ability to provide quality care to hard-to-reach patients living in poverty, while also enhancing the reach of our global health training and conference divisions.

This initiatives provides the support as patients we needed, but never got to influence change. There is no training or support for patients to act at leaders. Potential Patient Leaders are everywhere though; if our/their talents could be harnessed, then fundamental power structures in health and healthcare would change for the better; we also need to model patient leader behaviours ourselves.

We provide learning and support for patients, service users and carers to be influential leaders and agents of change. Patient Leaders (PLs) can play a variety of roles - entrepreneurs, community health champions, peer to peer support workers, activists and campaigners, catalysts for improvement, representatives, governors, etc. But at present few opportunities exist for PLs, while millions is spent on continuous professional development for clinical and managerial leaders. This paucity of support exacerbates fundamental inequalities of power at decision-making level and means healthcare policy and practice is unsustainable - as it sees patients as problems to be 'solved' and the issues as 'demand management' rather patients as assets in the current economic context.

We provide learning programmes and processes to develop peoples confidence and capabilities to work with others (eg health professionals) to foster dialogue and improvement, develop networks and communities of practice, provider advice and support and further opportunities for people to influence change. We also support organisations to foster patient leadership through organisational development work based on principles of co-production
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
All leadership training in health and healthcare is focused on clinical or managerial leaders; any training focused on patients as representatives (itself an institutionally ordained role for patient leaders who have to 'fit in' with existing structures) is didactic, knowledge-based and institutionally self-serving. Our approach to learning focuses on 'process' skills (ie working with others to improve dialogic skills). We are pioneers in this field, having introduced the concept of patient leadership and patient leaders into healthcare in the UK. We are ahead of the wave. We are patient leaders ourselves and thus our model has values and integrity at its core. Our model also contrasts with 3rd Sector approaches to equipping patients with 'expertise' often a more 'confrontational' stance
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
We practice what we preach and model the behaviours of Patient Leaders. Mark Doughty & David Gilbert are both patients/service users, co-founders and co-directors
We continually challenge organisations to adapt mindsets to those that focus on patient-centredness, but more importantly on patients as leaders, as assets, as co-designers of solutions and innovative approaches to health and healthcare.
We bring practical and innovative solutions to the table via skilled Patient Leaders
We focus on the link between patient leadership and outcomes (improved patient experience, safety, quality, shared decision-making; responsiveness; improved decision-making, accountability/governance; improved relationships between individuals & health system & between communities and institutions)
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Patient Leaders are natural entrepreneurs - they have to be in to lead & manage their own lives & conditions; this natural creativity is tapped when we work with clients & patient leaders - our work is based on a learning approach that is, itself, highly reflective. Whenever we work with clients in the health field, we ensure that we model the very approach we take into our learning approach - this in itself yields intriguing solutions to organisations from the outset.
Via our approach to learning, participants on our programmes work on, and reflect upon, practical challenges and take innovative solutions into their work.
By focusing on the skills of Patient Leaders they learn navigate and influence policy and practice rather than be passive recipients of decision-making.

Instead, patients are a problem to be solved, not the solution. Meanwhile, patient and public engagement has been co-opted by institutional interests as a buffer against change, rather than as a co-production engine for it. We need a new generation of 'unusual suspects' who can act strategically to help tackle crises in health and social care

Patient leadership is:
Rooted in self-leadership - patients learning about themselves to steer their own life.
A work in progress - good leaders develop through continuous learning
Dependent on context - involves a complex mixture of interdependent behaviours
Our learning approaches incorporate:
Co-design and co-delivery
More than ‘chalk and talk’ - We use highly interactive methods
Working with what happens in the room - Leaders learn from practicing and reflecting on how they behave
Acting into a new way of thinking - We help people to construct meaning and knowledge from experiences by practicing on their ‘live’ issues
Working with others – integrating dialogue and inquiry
Process skills of leadership - skills of relationship-building and influencing
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
We provide patient leaders - patients, service users and carers who influence change with:
Learning and Support - a variety of face to face offers and facilitated e-learning
Network and Community of Practice - Patient Leaders become Members of The Centre for Patient Leadership
Ongoing support to take next steps
We provide healthcare organisations with support based on co-production principles to foster patient leadership
Equipped with the capability to influence change, PLs will help shift power relationships underpinning healthcare to a truly patient-centred model. This will transform:
Patient experiences and outcomes (responsiveness)
Quality of decision-making (transparency, governance and accountability)
Trust and confidence
Financial viability of healthcare systems
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
We are in a unique position with regards to the UK and international market, as
Thought-leaders (around the policy and practice of patient leadership)
Pioneers in providing learning and support to a new generation of health leaders able to shift the very fabric of how health and healthcare is delivered.
Offering constructive and sustainable solutions to healthcare organisations in the current economic climate
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Our customers are two-fold:
1. Health and healthcare organisations (customers) - local, regional, national, international - these organisations resource individual beneficiaries (patient leaders) who are:
2. Patients, service users and carers (direct beneficiaries)
We have run learning programmes for organisations at national, regional and local level (e.g. NHS Commissioning Board, now NHS England; NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement; Midlands and East Strategic Health Authority; National Voice - the umbrella organisation for the health voluntary sector; various commissioning organisations and provider trusts). We have undertaken a variety of programmes, ranging from one day workshops to five month programmes (with coaching) to over 500 patient leaders.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
We have marketed progammes to commissioners, providers & national agencies. Given the shifting policy environment, our marketing strategy will segment in the following ways, towards:
1. National agencies (in service development, research, third sector) - these will also help ceate the environment for patient leadership
2. Commissioners of health and social care
3. Providers (acute hospital trusts, community and primary care providers)
4. Condition-related organisations/initiatives (eg. building on recent success in renal field) & moving towards focus on long term conditions
5. Locality and regionally based work (building on recent successful programmes in the Midlands)
Each of the above require bespoke business cases that focus on relevant incentives (e.g. safety for hospitals)
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
We provide
Learning and support for Patient Leaders
Networks and communities of practice;
Information, advice and support for Patient Leaders
For organisations:
We provide organisational development support that fosters the cultures and systems for patient leadership (NB. We have just produced the first Guide for NHS organisation to foster patient leadership - see 'resources' section on our website)
We also undertake research and policy with partners that will help create the wider cultures and systems and enviornment for patient leadership
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
We are unique thus far. National professionally-led training organisations are beginning to take an interest in patient leadership, but don't (and may never) truly understand the model; Patient-led & Third Sector organisations are at an early stage of being able to deliver training programmes and these are based on very different learning models to those we believe in and offer.
There is a window of opportunity (3-5 yrs) to create a social movement for patient leadership before an idea like this is 'captured' by mainstream organisations and distorted to fit institutional needs and the status quo. In this time, In this time, our work needs to support & develop a critical mass of patient leaders who share the values and have the skills necessary to radically shift the face of healthcare
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
The current policy and practice environment is volatile and organisations do not yet recognise the value of patient leadership - and may not want it if they truly understood it! On the other hand, the steep rise in demand demonstrates that another set of players want us to step up to the mark. To overcome this paradoxical state of affairs, we need to:
Hone and articulating the vision - communicate the business case to all stakeholders
Build capacity for delivery at scale and pace
Refine the operating and business model
Clarify roles & responsibilities;
Move to mixed investment strategy
Ensure quality
Beware of mission creep (eg other areas of citizen/lay leadership)
Stick to our values
Develop range of accessible learning offers/curriculum (incl. facilitated e-learning)
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
These phases are largely being run in parallel:
Phase One: Market Research & marketing strategy based on refined assessment of current landscape and potential funders (including assessment of investment and philanthropic options)
Phase Two: Building infrastructure, operating model and capacity for delivery at scale;
Phase Three: Developing the offer (to patient leaders, organisations)
¿Qué dimensiones de crecimiento estás actualmente focalizando para tu innovación? [selecciona todas las que correspondan]
Nuevos clientes grupo/s, Nueva(s) región(es), Nuevo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).
¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
We have significant interest in our work from organisations & Patient Leaders themselves; hugely positive feedback from programmes (500 'alumni') Recent experience of delivery at scale and pace; Proof of concept of operational and delivery model (incl train the trainers; online network; virtual learning environment); high profile (e.g. articles and network interest)
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
In the next 3-5 years, we aim to grow from £100k/yr turnover to £1-2m/year (yr 2) and double that by year 5. This will depend on developing 'Patient Leaders' as the 'go to' place for an expanding range of learning programmes and establishing the Centre for Patient Leadership as a non-profit making research & policy organisation.
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
Short term (1-2 yrs): £500,000 turnover, six new learning programmes (300 alumni); development of online network; six new core associates; Establishment of operational model to deliver at scale and pace (with financial director on board at least p/t and project manager f/t)
Medium Term (3-5 rs): £1-2m turnover, 40 programmes, expansion of offers; Thriving membership of community; UK-wide delivery;
NB. There will be a general election in 2015 and this will inevitably lead to shifts in policy and practice. We will need to adapt our work and growth plans for these circumstances.

Two independent evaluations of programmes show impact at various levels of our outcomes framework:
- participants on programmes (self-confidence, well-being, learning)
- impact on others (eg quality of dialogue)
- impact on projects (ie own activities, self-reported)
Previous evaluations of the learning model in other fields of learning (undertaken on Mark Doughty, co-directors previous work, upon which our learning offer has been modeled) have yielded significant impact on personal confidence and capabilities, impact on self and others, etc.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
Independent evaluation sought of overall model; previous evaluations of particular learning programmes discussed above.
Given market segmentation outlined in previous sections, we are looking at an outcomes framework that will provide the evidence required to build a business case for:
National agencies
Commissioners
Providers
Patient Leaders themselves
This quantification will need to link patient leadership with improvements in (a) service responsiveness and improved patient experience and outcomes (b) quality of dialogue, decision-making, governance and accountability (c) nature of trust and confidence in relationships (eg between civil society / patients and healthcare providers)
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
We believe the model has implications and applications beyond the UK; This might be in developed or developing countries where patients, users or carers can be influencers of change at strategic level.
We have received interest in our work from agencies in the USA, Canada, Hong Kong and Australia where we have active dialogue with various patient/consumer and improvement bodies
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Our envisaged model for scaling up our offer means that we have already started to plan for spread and sustainability in the patient leadership field.
We believe our learning and business model have significant potential for replication; for example learning programmes could be applied to patients and users working with a wide variety of local and national health and social care delivery and commissioning organisations; to national and international agencies seeking to build social capital and even beyond the health and social care fields.

Our current consultancy model requires investments of organisational customers who provide funding for beneficiaries (patients linked to their own organisational interests); we are aware that individuals may be too poor to pay directly and so would seek investment to provide bursaries for these individuals (though some may pay a contribution). We want to move towards a mixed model of (a) fees from professional services (b) income generated by policy and research activities (c) investment for specific activities (eg running learning networks) (d) philanthropy (e) commercial activities (eg sponsored conferences) (f) some contributions from individual beneficiaries

We are aware of the current policy reforms in the UK and are confident that the plethora of new commissioning organisations and local tiers of delivery will be seeking new and innovative ways of putting the patient voice first. While marketing at a local level, we will be developing partnerships with existing clients who can provide further levels of investment and scaling up of existing programmes. We are actively using commmunication and marketing methods to demonstrate the wider need for patient leadership and have good contacts with senior thought leaders who are 'creating the market'. Our plans are to build our credibility as providers, but also to undertake research and policy advocacy work to create the climate for wider investment. At the same time, to provide scale and sustainability, we will need to expand our infrastructure - this may require external investment or philanthropic sources of revenue

Global Issues Leadership Development (GILD) teaches high school l students about global issues and human rights. We do this through an after school program called Global Issues Club. Each semester, students pick a topic to learn about. We invite speakers, watch films, read articles, etc. to learn about the issue. At the end of each semester, students plan a series of events to raise money to further the work of a nonprofit raising awareness about the issue they learned about.

This fall we will start our fifth year in operation. Although we will have survived the hump most start up experience, we still want to forge ahead. That means that we need to increase our donations and work in more schools (scale.) Developing a SWOT will help us figure out how to do both. We will be able to show donors our strength and opportunities as well as convincing them to continue to invest in us. We will also be able to do the same with high school administrators when we convince them to allow us to work in their schools.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Support from American Express will be focused on the overall organization, We want to scale and start new after school programs in other schools and abroad. Before we do that we need help figuring out our SWOT.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
To date, students who participated in our program went on to college. A few of our members went on to Ivy League schools. Our alumni have stayed involved at their respective colleges. Quite a few of those students have traveled and/or studied abroad. Over the last four years, our students have been able to raise money for eight nonprofits.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
We want to increase knowledge and scale our project. In other words, we want to be able to have alumni who understand the complexity of the issues they learned about. We also want to increase the number of students in our program by working in more schools. If we can do both, we will have the opportunity to create a new kind of citizen. This new citizen is a socially conscious one.

Proyecto Hospice Synodeia
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
La innovación en cuidados paliativos pediátricos de nuestro modelo se basa en:
-Dar una cobertura completa (médica, psicológica, social y espiritual) a los niños que padecen enfermedades terminales y a sus familiares dentro de su domicilio.
-Ofrecer un servicio telefónico 24 horas para los padres y los niños donde en caso de emergencia o ante una situación compleja puedan recibir el apoyo adecuado por parte de profesionales cualificados y si fuera necesaria la asistencia domiciliaria.
-Cooperar con los equipos ya existentes de cuidados paliativos de la Comunidad Autónoma de Cataluña.
-Colaborar con las Administraciones Sanitarias en la elaboración de un nuevo plan de cuidados paliativos pediátricos a nivel estatal donde se destaque la importancia de la estancia en el domicilio para evitar en la medida de lo posible la hospitalización del paciente.
-Generar una red de colaboración con otras asociaciones y ONG’s para fomentar la comunicación abierta y el enriquecimiento entre profesionales.
-Ofrecer formación específica y continuada en cuidados paliativos a los profesionales y voluntarios que deseen trabajar o colaborar con nuestro Hospice, estando a la vanguardia de tratamientos paliativos y acompañamiento terapéutico.
-Dar soporte a los profesionales del Hospice Synodeia mediante reuniones semanales para llevar a cabo un seguimiento de las visitas domiciliarias y sus propios sentimientos y reacciones ante este tipo de situaciones. “El cuidado de los cuidadores”.
-Realizar encuentros semanales para padres y madres con hijos que padecen enfermedades terminales.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Nuestro modelo es pionero en España basándose en el movimiento de Hospice que tan buenos resultados ha dado en otros países del mundo con una serie de características propias, tales como:
-Ofrecer asistencia domiciliaria con una cobertura total (médica, psicológica, social y espiritual).
-Programas de formación continua.
-Control y evaluación del trabajo realizado.
-Programas de voluntariado y fundraising.
-Actividades con padres y familiares.
-Seguimiento del pre-duelo y duelo.
-Programas de investigación.
Estos cuidados realizados de forma óptima conllevan un ahorro para el sistema sanitario, pues se consigue reducir en gran medida las urgencias hospitalarias, además de reducir también el número y la duración de los ingresos.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
Consideramos que la implantación de nuestro Hospice en España será un éxito puesto que ha sido ideado con el objetivo de responder a los puntos críticos del sistema paliativo español presentes en la Estrategia de Cuidados Paliativos del Sistema Nacional de Salud:
-Universalización de los cuidados paliativos.
-Inequidades en la accesibilidad.
-Escasez de programas dedicados a pacientes no oncológicos.
-Escasez de programas dedicados a pacientes pediátricos.
-Inicio tardío de las actuaciones paliativas y falta de continuidad de las mismas.
-Apoyo insuficiente al entorno familiar.
-Atención insuficiente a problemas emocionales y al duelo.
-Insuficiente atención psicológica a pacientes pediátricos y sus familias.
-Déficit de recursos humanos y estructuras de cuidados paliativos.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
El objetivo a largo plazo que nos hemos propuesto es generalizar la presencia de este tipo de recursos en todo el territorio español, para conseguir que al operar junto con los recursos de cuidados paliativos pediátricos ya presentes, la atención paliativa española pueda atender con eficacia y calidad la demanda existente.
Ante posibles y probables desafíos externos creemos en la formación continua de nuestro equipo, tratando de estar a la vanguardia en cuidados paliativos pediátricos y colaborando continuamente con organizaciones con mayor bagaje y experiencia que nosotros generando una red de enriquecimiento mutuo, adaptándonos a las continuas exigencias de este campo.

Este proyecto surge desde la observación y la necesidad de un cambio de paradigma en cuanto a los cuidados paliativos pediátricos.
La evaluación de la estrategia de Cuidados Paliativos del Sistema Nacional de Salud muestra que, en la actualidad, la atención paliativa española tiene todavía un cierto retraso si la comparamos con la de países vecinos y que es necesario mejorar algunos aspectos para llegar a ofrecer un cuidado integral y de calidad a toda aquella persona susceptible de necesitar cuidados paliativos
Lo que nosotros intentamos llevar a cabo va un paso más allá en la asistencia domiciliaria de los niños terminales, su acompañamiento y el de sus familiares basándonos en el acompañamiento al final de la vida de los niños murientes.

Por favor describe tu solución con más detalle
La idea principal de nuestra actividad consiste en:
-Dar una cobertura completa (médica, psicológica, social y espiritual) a los niños que padecen enfermedades terminales y a sus familiares dentro de su domicilio.
-Cooperar con los equipos ya existentes de cuidados paliativos de la Comunidad Autónoma de Cataluña.
-Colaborar con las Administraciones Sanitarias en la elaboración de un nuevo plan de cuidados paliativos pediátricos a nivel estatal donde se destaque la importancia de la estancia en el domicilio.
-Ofrecer formación específica y continuada en cuidados paliativos.
-Dar soporte a los profesionales del Hospice Synodeia .
-Elaborar proyectos de investigación en el campo de los cuidados paliativos pediátricos generando alianzas con profesionales de universidades catalanas.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
El objetivo del Hospice Synodeia es que sus pacientes puedan transitar los meses o días que les restan con la mejor calidad de vida posible, mantenerlos libres de dolor y conscientes, además de ofrecer apoyo psicológico y emocional durante y después del proceso de despedida de sus familiares.
La idea es que el ambiente sea lo más parecido posible al hogar del paciente si fuera necesaria una hospitalización u ofrecer una atención integral en el propio domicilio realizando el seguimiento, cuidados y acompañamiento. El objetivo es que el paciente pueda seguir rodeado de sus seres queridos y morir con dignidad, lo cual facilita el proceso al no romperse la dinámica familiar.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
Colaborar con las administraciones sanitarias, las unidades y equipos existentes ofreciendo una atención paliativa pediátrica de calidad en todo el territorio español.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Los beneficiarios son cualquier persona susceptible de necesitar atención paliativa, haciendo especial hincapié aquellos campos que actualmente están más desprotegidos tales cómo el área pediátrica, la atención domiciliaria y los pacientes no oncológicos.Así cómo las familias de dichos pacientes durante todo el proceso de despedida y duelo.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
El enfoque que utilizamos tiene cómo intención llegar al mayor número de personas, tanto pacientes, familiares, profesionales de la salud y personas en general interesadas en el área de los cuidados paliativos pediátricos:
-Red de colaboración con administraciones sanitarias, universidades y profesionales de la salud.
-Reuniones informativas así como charlas para pacientes, familiares y personas interesadas.
-Cursos de formación para profesionales de la salud y voluntarios.
-Comunicación directa con pacientes oncológicos y asociaciones.
-Jornadas de debate y reflexión entre profesionales de los cuidados paliativos pediátricos.
-Publicidad y campañas de fundraising.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
-Ofrecer asistencia domiciliaria con una cobertura total (médica, psicológica, social y espiritual).
-Programas de formación continua para los profesionales del Hospice.
-Control y evaluación del trabajo realizado por profesionales del Hospice.
-Programas de voluntariado y fundraising.
-Actividades con padres y familiares.
-Seguimiento del pre-duelo y duelo.
-Charlas y conferencias explicativas del modelo de Hospice y sus principios para profesionales y familiares.
-Programas de investigación.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Actualmente Cataluña cuenta con una red compuesta por 54 unidades hospitalarias y 44 unidades domiciliarias, además de la existencia de 23 asociaciones de duelo, varias asociaciones de voluntariado en diferentes centros de Cuidados Paliativos y la puesta en marcha de proyectos sociales enfocados a mejorar la atención paliativa presente en dicha comunidad.
Nuestro objetivo es trabajar en estrecha relación con estos recursos ya operativos para garantizar una cobertura y atención de la máxima calidad. Por esta razón no consideramos las unidades y asociaciones existentes como posibles amenazas, sino como una oportunidad para aunar fuerzas con un objetivo común.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
Tras más de 20 años de historia, la atención al final de la vida en España está alcanzando una considerable madurez. Es por ello, tal y como afirma la Sociedad Española de Cuidados Paliativos, que consideramos que la crisis económica actual no puede usarse como pretexto para justificar recortes en los medios destinados a la atención paliativa, en primer lugar porque ésta debe seguir con su continua evolución para garantizar la cobertura total en el territorio nacional y, en segundo lugar, porque el modelo de prestación de cuidados paliativos ha demostrado que estos cuidados realizados de forma óptima conllevan un ahorro para el sistema sanitario, pues se consigue reducir en gran medida las urgencias hospitalarias, además de reducir también el número y la duración de los ingresos.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
1º Implantación del modelo de Hospice en la comunidad autónoma de Cataluña.
2º Demostrar con hechos y datos la mejoría del servicio ofrecido para pacientes y familiares, así cómo la reducción en costes gracias a una mejor atención domiciliaria.
3º Generalizar la presencia de este tipo de recursos en todo el territorio español.
¿Qué dimensiones de crecimiento estás actualmente focalizando para tu innovación? [selecciona todas las que correspondan]
Nuevos clientes grupo/s, Nueva(s) región(es).
¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
La urgente necesidad de la mejora de la atención paliativa en el territorio español, así como un cambio de paradigma en cuanto a los cuidados paliativos pediátricos y la demanda creciente y constante por parte de pacientes y familiares de una mejoría en este servicio.
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
Dar a conocer el concepto de Hospice participando en las asambleas, reuniones,universidades y congresos que se organicen en territorio español sobre cuidados paliativos y mas en concreto cuidados paliativos pediátricos nos pueden acercar a profesionales y personas interesadas en colaborar con nosotros.
Darle especial énfasis a la importancia de la asistencia domiciliaria y el ahorro que supone.
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
A corto plazo calculamos entre un año y dos para asentar la organización y crear un equipo competitivo y preparado, así cómo generar las alianzas con otras organizaciones y buscar potenciales clientes de nuestro servicio.
A partir de los 3 años buscamos el crecimiento exponencial, pudiendo ofrecer servicio a un mayor número de pacientes y familiares y extendiendo la actividad a otras áreas geográficas, creando conciencia y generando valor sobre los Hospice y la importancia de su existencia en sociedades como la española.
A partir de los 5 años podríamos hablar de éxito del proyecto, tomando cómo modelo el Hospice Plamienok de Eslovaquia. Creando una red de pacientes y familiares, proyectos de acompañamiento, sinergias con empresas privadas y universidades y equipo de voluntarios

Nuestro proyecto todavía se encuentra en fase de idea por lo que no podemos hablar de impacto.
Tomamos cómo referencia el modelo Hospice, tal y cómo hemos comentado funciona y da servicio en numerosos países de la Unión Europea, Asia y América, dando cobertura a miles de pacientes y familias demostrando así su impacto e importancia en múltiples sociedades.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
Perfectamente. El objetivo a largo plazo que nos hemos propuesto es generalizar la presencia de este tipo de recursos en todo el territorio español, para conseguir que al operar junto con los recursos de cuidados paliativos pediátricos ya presentes, la atención paliativa española pueda atender con eficacia y calidad la demanda existente.

Idea (estás listo para iniciar)
Esta presentación se trata de
Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
A partir de nuestra experiencia como MSM, y del acercamiento con otras mujeres pares, hemos identificado que existe una percepción de “no riesgo” respecto a las prácticas sexuales no protegidas en MSM, una escasa información sobre la existencia y el uso de insumos de protección y de estrategias de reducción de riesgos.
Aunado a lo anterior, proponemos que la vivencia del cuerpo, el placer, el erotismo y la expresión de los afectos por medio de técnicas vivenciales, favorecen el ejercicio del derecho al placer, la apropiación del cuerpo y la percepción de riesgo en prácticas sexuales no protegidas.
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
Generar un espacio de reflexión y acción donde las mujeres adquieran conocimiento y potencialicen sus propias herramientas como una estrategia para acceder a una vida sexual saludable y placentera.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Para llegar a las metas planteadas, emplearemos distintas técnicas vivenciales, entre ellas la que hemos nombrado "Tupper Sex": a partir de esta técnica, las mujeres que participarán en el taller aprenderán a emplear insumos de protección en sus prácticas sexuales, tanto de los ya existentes en el mercado, como algunos otros adecuados con materiales fáciles de identificar en su cotidianidad.
Tomando en cuenta la escasa información e insumos que existen en el mercado para MSM, está técnica pretende favorecer la conciencia de la percepción de riesgo en prácticas sexuales no protegidas así como la promoción del uso de métodos de barrera como métodos de prevención para Infecciones de Transmisión Sexual (ITS).
Aunado a ello, consideramos que al propiciar que las mujeres desarrollen sus propios insumos, podrán experimentar la sexualidad desde el placer y el erotismo, y no sólo como una dimensión reproductiva.
La comunidad: Define tu comunidad, local, nacional o internacional, con la cual vas a trabajar. ¿Cuál es tu público objetivo, a qué población vas a dirigir tus acciones? ¿Existen otras organizaciones que ya trabajan en este tema en tu comunidad?
Pretendemos trabajar con mujeres lesbianas, bisexuales y MSM entre 18 a 30 años, que vivan en el Distrito Federal.
Existen algunas OSC en el D.F. (Musas de Metal, Closet de Sor Juana, Caracoles, entre otras) que trabajan temas de sexualidad desde una perspectiva del erotismo, sin embargo muy pocas de ellas han retomado el trabajo con MSM entre pares.
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
Desde nuestra experiencia como mujeres lesbianas y bisexuales, en el cotidiano, con otras MSM e incluso en charlas con especialistas en sexualidad y salud sexual, no se identifica ni se difunde la necesidad de protección en las prácticas sexuales mujer-mujer, siendo que existen prácticas de riesgo que pueden implicar el adquirir VIH y/u otras ITS. Además, es importante mencionar que las campañas de prevención y atención a VIH-SIDA se han encaminado a la sensibilización y atención de poblaciones clave (Hombres que tienen Sexo con Hombres, principalmente), dejando de lado a otras poblaciones que se perciben como de "menor riesgo". Sin embargo, es importante considerar que en los últimos años la pandemia se ha feminizado y que el ser MSM no nos excluye de tener prácticas de riesgo, con mujeres y/o con hombres, o por otros factores como el uso de drogas inyectables o, incluso, por ejercer el trabajo sexual. Ante este escenario surge nuestra propuesta.
Describe tu emprendimiento en 1-2 enunciados
Las Hijas del Maiz, proponemos diseñar e implementar un taller para la promoción de una vida sexual sana y placentera para Mujeres que tienen Sexo con Mujeres.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Qué quieres lograr en tu primer año?
Durante el primer año, son tres las principales metas que buscamos alcanzar como colectivo. En primer lugar, queremos desarrollar un taller vivencial con un sustento teórico-metodológico, derivado de nuestra propia experiencia como mujeres MSM, nuestro acercamiento profesional a mujeres pares así como la revisión bibliográfica, del cual, se derivará el Kit de material didáctico para “Xacapilli Quiyotl”.
En segundo lugar, pretendemos impartir un piloteo – del taller vivencial, que nos permita mejorar la propuesta teórica-metodológica a partir de la experiencia en campo- y cuatro talleres, con mujeres que tienen sexo con otras mujeres.
Y por último, a partir del Mercadeo Social de insumos para mujeres que tienen sexo con otras mujeres, queremos establecer una estrategia de autosustentabilidad que nos permita subsistir como colectivo.

leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cómo definirás el éxito de tu emprendimiento durante el primer año de operaciones (1-6 meses)?
Durante el primer año, consideramos que nuestro éxito estará reflejado en tres principales rubros. En primer lugar, habremos desarrollado un Kit de material didáctico “Xacapilli Quiyotl” basado en un sustento teórico-metodológico, que favorezca el ejercicio del derecho al placer, la apropiación del cuerpo y la percepción de riesgo en prácticas sexuales no protegidas, para mujeres que tienen sexo con otras mujeres (MSM).
Habremos impartido cuatro talleres con mujeres que tienen sexo con otras mujeres, y por último, tendremos una red con la cual podremos realizar el Mercadeo Social de insumos para mujeres que tienen sexo con otras mujeres, que permitan nuestra sustentabilidad como colectivo.
¿Cómo definirás el éxito tu emprendimiento a largo plazo (1-3 años)?
A largo plazo, nuestro éxito estará reflejado en primer lugar por nuestra subsistencia como colectivo a partir del Mercadeo Social de insumos para MSM.
En segundo lugar, por la continuidad y actualización de taller vivencial “Xacapilli Quillotl”, a través del cual buscaremos continuar favoreciendo el ejercicio del derecho al placer, la apropiación del cuerpo y la percepción de riesgo en prácticas sexuales no protegidas, para MSM.
Y por último, con una mayor visibilidad del colectivo que nos permita, generar alianzas tanto con otros colectivos, organizaciones y asociaciones civiles (tanto del D.F. como de otros estados del país) así como, con otras mujeres que compartan nuestra visión como colectivo.
¿Qué indicadores(s) usarás para medir el éxito de tu emprendimiento durante el primer año?
Durante el primer año, habremos impartido un piloteo del taller vivencial, que nos permita mejorar la propuesta teórica-metodológica a partir de la experiencia en campo y cuatro talleres vivenciales, con mujeres que tienen sexo con otras mujeres en el D.F..
Lo cual, nos permitirá llegar a 75 beneficiarias directas y a 150 beneficiarias indirectas. El número de beneficiarias directas será registrado con las listas de asistencia al taller.
El impacto del taller será medido a partir de un cuestionario cualitativo pre y post, que nos permitirá rescatar la experiencia subjetiva del ejercicio del derecho al placer, la apropiación del cuerpo y la percepción de riesgo en prácticas sexuales no protegidas, en las participantes a los talleres.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cómo vas a reclutar nuevos miembros?
En las estrategias y técnicas a implementar en el taller, privilegiamos lo vivencial como un mecanismo a través del cual las mujeres puedan apropiarse de los conocimientos y herramientas que les permitan tener encuentros sexuales más saludables y placenteros. Más allá de reclutar nuevos miembros, a través de la estrategia "Pasa la voz", esperamos la asistencia de nuevas mujeres a los talleres que se impartirán mensualmente y llegar a un mayor número de beneficiarias indirectas con quienes se replique el mensaje de la importancia de reconocer los riesgos de tener prácticas sexuales de riesgo.
¿Cómo vas a nombrar nuevos líderes cuando los fundadores del emprendimiento tengan que irse?
Las integrantes de "Las Hijas del Maiz" laboramos e incidimos en diferentes espacios de participación de y para jóvenes y estamos abiertas a las propuestas y la participación de nuevas voces y brazos comprometidos con la promoción de la salud sexual y los derechos sexuales en general. Así, tanto en la convocatoria como en la implementación del taller planteamos un ambiente de horizontalidad donde todas las voces sean escuchadas y donde las asistentes incorporen a su cotidiano la idea de que, tanto en lo personal como en lo público, la participación es fundamental para que las cosas sucedan; de ahí también el identificarnos como un colectivo, es decir, como una agrupación de mujeres con ideas en común.
¿Cómo vas a continuar tu proyecto después de 6 meses? ¿Con qué recursos piensas seguir?
Una parte fundamental de este proyecto es el reuso de materiales, que se podrán reunir a partir de donaciones de las asistentes. Otra estrategia es el mercadeo social, que consiste en hacer llegar a las asistentes insumos de protección y materiales lúdicos a bajo costo pero que permitan a "Las hijas del maiz" ciclar los recursos de tal forma que se refinancíe el siguiente taller. La estrategia de mercadeo social será permanente durante todo el proyecto y estará dirigida a la población en general, abriendo la gama de productos a ofertarse y de recursos que nos permitan continuar esta labor.

There is a growing volunteerism movement around the world - as society views the positive impact in giving back to the needy. In the progress of giving back, there is a current mismatch between the supply of volunteers and the demands from social enterprises. Volunteers are looking to contribute back in a meaningful way, while social enterprises need pro bono services to grow themselves more effectively.

There is a growing volunteerism movement around the world - as society views the positive impact in giving back to the needy. In the progress of giving back, there is a current mismatch between the supply of volunteers and the demands from social enterprises. Volunteers are looking to contribute back in a meaningful way, while social enterprises need pro bono services to grow themselves more effectively.
Network for Social Impact aims to bridge the gap by providing an online platform that provides skill-based and remote volunteering opportunities between global professionals and high-impact medium-sized social enterprises in Indonesia.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
1) Create strong awareness of our platform and services among volunteers and social enterprises (to be the top-of-mind name for skill-based and remote volunteering opportunity provider)
2) Increase the number of users in our web database
3) Increase the number of successful projects completed
Need #1
Digital Marketing Strategy
Need #2
Consumer/Audience Acquisition
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
As an online platform, we would want to increase the number of volunteers in our database - as it would greatly increase our chance to match a volunteer with a social enterprise.
Our product is a project collaboration between the volunteer and the social enterprise - where the volunteer will run the project based on his skills and the requirement of the social enterprise remotely (e.g. a graphic designer contributing a graphic design template to a social enterprise).
One of our Key Performance Indicators ("KPI") is the number of volunteers matched to a project - hence increasing the number of volunteers in database will be a key component to achieve the desired KPI.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
It will focus on the organization - as we learn to engage our target market (volunteers) better which will indirectly impact our service being provided to the customer (social enterprise).
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
As a start-up, we are pressed on resources - although we did have internal discussions relating to this issue, we envisioned that getting a third party opinion (which is why we applied for this competition) would be a great benefit to us.
Are you able to commit 3-5 hours/wk over 10-12 weeks?
Sí
Are you able to meet virtually or at a convenient in-person location?
Sí
Are you able to meet in the city where your organization is based?
Sí
1.
To craft an effective digital marketing strategy
2.
To engage our volunteers better
3.
To incentivize outsiders to be volunteers
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
As a start-up that was established in Mid 2012 - we have so far matched 50% of available projects that we created by end of 2012 and had recently been shortlisted by Singapore International Foundation to introduce our ideas in Young Social Enterpreneurs' 2013 program
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
We have been aggressively building up our pipeline of projects, however we are struggling to build up our volunteer database. Professional support from American Express will enable to us to see what we are lacking in our strategy to build up our volunteer database and therefore create a more effective digital marketing strategy. With your professional support we envisioned that we will be able to reach our target of 1000 volunteers in the database by the end of this year.

Non-profit organizations are often in need of consulting services, whether it comes in the form of data collection, multivariable analysis, research, or recommendations. However, these non-profits often find themselves unable to afford big-name consulting firms to provide elaborate and expensive solutions. Our organization, the Princeton Business Volunteers (PBV), seeks to address this problem by training and developing teams of undergraduate student volunteers who assist non-profits with their consulting needs.

What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
Non-profit organizations are often in need of consulting services, whether it comes in the form of data collection, multivariable analysis, research, or recommendations. However, these non-profits often find themselves unable to afford big-name consulting firms to provide elaborate and expensive solutions. Our organization, the Princeton Business Volunteers (PBV), seeks to address this problem by training and developing teams of undergraduate student volunteers who assist non-profits with their consulting needs. What is most innovative about PBV’s approach is the way we combine the fields of community service and business. As part of PBV, students not only gain invaluable exposure to professional consulting, but they are also able to demonstrate their commitment to community service.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
1) To increase the variety of our projects such that students are exposed to consulting challenges in many different contexts.
2) To further increase professional mentorship that students receive such that we are able to better serve non-profits.
3) To expand the range of our organization such that we are able to serve clients who also work on a global or international scale.
Need #1
Message & Brand Strategy
Need #2
Consumer/Audience Acquisition
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
Based on our first choice ‘Message and Brand Strategy,’ our project needs assistance with developing the image for organization. While we have had some success getting a range of clients, we are looking for ways to further diversify our client base so that we can help non-profits with a wide range of causes. However, in order to effectively reach out and appeal to clients, it is important for our organization to execute an effective brand strategy. Specifically, we are in need of assistance with regard to conveying PBV’s message and vision to potential non-profit clients. Moreover, any targeted advice on how best we can expand the scope of our organization to include more international projects would be of great use. These efforts will also help with recruitment and with catalyzing student interest in a wide range of community service initiatives through consulting.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Support from American Express would best be used to support our organization overall. PBV undertakes projects from 2-3 clients during the year, but support from American Express would be most useful in the area of how to expand our client base, which would affect the organization as a whole. We hope American Express could help us develop a cohesive strategy for undergraduate recruitment, professional mentors and non-profit clients.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
We have had the opportunity to work with professional consultants in the past, and continue to maintain mentors who help us with the mechanics of specific projects and final deliverables. However, we have not had opportunity to learn about ways to expand the scope of our organization as a whole. In this regard, the support from American Express will be very valuable in helping us secure additional projects and help diversify the range of our clients.
Are you able to commit 3-5 hours/wk over 10-12 weeks?
Sí
Are you able to meet virtually or at a convenient in-person location?
Sí
Are you able to meet in the city where your organization is based?
Sí
1.
PBV is able to secure at least two non-profit organizations who work on an international scale.
2.
More non-profit organizations, from multiple locations are able to reach out to PBV for their consulting needs.
3.
Student interest in consulting based community service is increased, which will result in greater membership.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
PBV’s approach produces a win-win solution for our members as well as our non-profit clients: our student members get a chance to apply their classroom knowledge in a professional setting; our non-profit clients are able to receive free consulting services. Thus far, our non-profit clients work in a wide variety of causes, including but not limited to: rainforest preservation, food certification, rural-African community sports development, and learning services for the blind and dyslexic. Since 2009, we have been able to complete over 10 projects for our clients, and are looking to expand the range of our clients. In this process, we have also done well to increase student interest in our community service based consulting initiatives as our member ship has increased to over 80 members.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
After receiving support from American Express, we hope to better perform and diversify our operations, which currently include cost analysis, operational management, resource optimization and marketing for non-profits. In particular, American Express can help us learn to make better use of professional support and mentoring in developing our quantitative and qualitative analytical skills. Moreover, we can expect to diversify our client base such that we are able to serve non-profits who are working on international projects in developing countries but cannot afford expensive consulting solutions.

NCTAF STEM Learning Studios
Selecciona la fase que describa mejor el momento en el que se encuentra tu emprendimiento
Crecimiento (tu iniciativa piloto ya se está aplicando y se empieza a expandir)
What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
NCTAF STEM Learning Studios organize teachers, professionals, and students into cross-disciplinary inquiry teams that work on significant community challenges. Studio investigations promote deeper student learning, continuous teacher development, and high impact industry engagement. As students learn STEM by doing STEM, they become curious, thoughtful learners who develop the 21st century knowledge and skills they need to prepare for college, careers, and life. Teachers develop deeper knowledge and skill in the sciences and engineering by working with their colleagues and industry professionals to design and execute cross-disciplinary inquiry projects. STEM professionals, working as long-term, part-time Studio residents, discover how to translate their expertise into engaging learning.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
NCTAF’s goals are to:
1. Develop a well-documented and evaluated Learning Studio implementation and technical assistance strategy that enables us to mobilize and army of STEM professionals, including recent retirees, in education.
2. Add momentum to this mobilization by building and leading a national movement of similar initiatives that are remodeling education for the 21st Century
3. Partner with industry, school districts, and schools of education create Educator Development Studios for Next Generation STEM Educators, who acquire their professional knowledge and skill as Learning Studio team members.
Need #1
Message & Brand Strategy
Need #2
Digital Marketing Strategy
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
NCTAF Learning Studios received a 2011 Changemakers award for “creating well-structured, long-term, part-time opportunities for STEM experts to make significant contributions to more effective teaching and deeper student learning… that is a particularly effective way to engage young women and students of color who too often tune out traditional STEM education.” In partnership with NASA, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and the U.S. Naval Academy we created 24 Studios in 21 Maryland middle schools and high schools where 144 teachers and 30 STEM professionals work with teams that include 4,200 students; in New Hampshire five school districts have seven Studios where 42 teachers and 200 students work with advanced manufacturers and a regional medical center. NCTAF’s stretch goal is to build a national Learning Studio movement to mobilize 100,000 Baby Boomer professionals who join forces with 10,000 teachers and 300,000 students in citizen science projects that address significant community needs. To grow this movement we need to develop a clear brand and marketing strategy that attracts commitments from business partners, educators, government agencies, and community based organizations.
1.
Our partnerships build a clear game plan to orchestrate diverse resources around well-defined goal.
2.
Partners are mutually accountable for building their capacity to meet well-defined benchmarks.
3.
Each partner contributes and each has an opportunity to benefit and grow.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
NCTAF is a nationally recognized advocate for rebuilding American education with teamwork to improve teaching, learning, and school performance. Learning Studios are innovation incubators where educators, business partners, and community leaders are teaming up to reinvent STEM education for the 21st century. American Express support will enable us to: 1.) scale-up Learning Studios to ensure that thousands of youth have a genuine opportunity to prepare for success in a global innovation economy; and 2.) drive our national leadership agenda.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
NCTAF has been developing this initiative for six years with grants from Carnegie Corporation of New York, MetLife, NSF, Gates, NASA, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and the Deerbrook Charitable Trust. We have a strong track record for issuing school reform publications and recommendations that are widely covered by traditional media (newspapers and radio). We are novices when it comes to digital media. We have not previously used brand or marketing consultants.

2.
Launch an effective media campaign to recruit new business, education and community partners.
3.
Launch studios in five more states and three large metro regions during the 2013-2014 school year.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
With NSF, MetLife, NASA, Gates , Pearson , and Carnegie grants, we have developed core principles we use to train and deploy teams of teachers and STEM professionals who have well-structured responsibilities for engaging students in deeper learning. We are also evaluating the impact of Studios on student learning, teacher development, and professional engagement in education. In partnership with NASA, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and the U.S. Naval Academy we created 24 Studios in 21 Maryland middle schools and high schools where 144 teachers and 30 STEM professionals work with teams that include 4,200 students; in New Hampshire five school districts have seven Studios where 42 teachers and 200 students work with advanced manufacturers and a regional medical center.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
Half of the 78 million Baby Boomers in our country want to give back to their community and most want to do that in education and youth service. The Learning Studios movement will give them well structured pathways for working with youth as citizen scientists to support learning with meaning that makes a difference in their communities. The DC region will have 1.5 million new retirees in less than five years; our goal is to deploy one percent (15,000) in Studios to demonstrate the potential of a national Learning Studio movement that could deploy at least 100,000 Boomers (the best educated, most experienced generation we have ever had) in Learning Studios by 2020 (one percent of Boomers is 780,000, which would exceed our goal by seven fold).

b-fit is established by one of its partner’s participation to a similar system since 2006 in America after she reduced two sizes by working out only for half an hour a day. She decided that the system which is based on scientific principles and used by 13 million Americans, should be adapted to Turkey and Turkish women's culture. The system should have been more than just a member and gym.

Exercise for healthier life!
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
Turkey, now, is considered as one of the most obesis countries among Europe. According to the researches made before founding; sports clubs in Turkey is mostly for men. There is not enough place for women to move.
Women, in Turkey, are the idea makers for their social environment. In many fitness clubs, women are not able to do exercise comfortably. And as many people, women has many excuses for exercising.
b-fit system was established by defining those exercises and creating solutions to remove them. After the steps were defined, first test office opened with 6 partners. In a very short time, b-fit became very popular for many women.
With its mission of 'contribution to women entrepreneurship', more than 200 women became entrepreneurs.
b-fit system, now, has reached 218 branches in 46 cities with more than 160.000 women members.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
b-fit is the first women only sports and healthy living club in Turkey. After 2 years, competitiors entered to the market. However competitors entered in the market by just providing fitness clubs.
b-fit is not only a fitness club with its special exercise programme, but also a living center for women. In many cities of Turkey, women is mostly housewifes and she does not anywhere to socialize and any friends. b-fit has changed this status quo by providing women to start their own business and create places where they can exercise, socialize, learn, plan group activities, etc. b-fit has created a job opportunity for more than 1.000 women and more than 160.000 women has exercised and socialized in b-fit clubs.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
Turkey is now considered as one of the most obesis country in the world. Most of the women in Turkey, do not have the habit of exercising. Our brand became the first in the country to break this common habit. We had very hard times introducing the importance and joy of exercising to women. Our team and entrepreneurs worked very hard to make women to come and try our system. We also organize seminars/educations for women to tell the importance.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
b-fit has first started silently in a small city to test the whole system. After 1 year, we believed that the system works and it is good for women. Just 2 years after the introduction business, competitors started to open the same business as ours. However, it was impossible to beat the success of bfit's. Bfit has now 218 branches, and the closest competitor in the Turkish market has just 40 branches.
In Turkey,laws and procedures may change very quickly. Bfit had many challenges but we always found the solution. As a social business, there many volunteers network around us to help and enlarge the business.
Our next step is to take the system to Middle East. We had many market research and redesign the system to adapt Middle Eastern culture. We need investors for the next project.

CuidaJobs: Busca, compara, valora y comparte un cuidador para tus enfermos
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
Habitualmente cuando acudimos a un hospital o sus inmediaciones, nos encontramos un montón de empresas y anuncios caseros de “cuidadores particulares”, estudiantes o incluso profesionales de ciencias de la salud que se ofrecen para cuidar o acompañar a los familiares ingresados en el hospital en nuestra ausencia o para cuando le den el alta y necesitemos ayuda en su propio domicilios.
Mi propuesta es una mezcla de tres plataformas existentes y de considerable éxito: InfoJobs, TripAdvisor y Amovens.
Imaginemos una plataforma que aglutinara toda esa información. Con la oferta y la demanda de servicios, segmentada por ciudades, incluso por hospitales o para domicilios particulares, y en el que se permitiera comentar y valorar el servicio prestado, incluso compartir dicho servicio, entre otras muchas funcionalidade

We also look for nontraditional, cross-sector partnerships to more fully build out our business model.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Our goal is a world-class product that solves a growing global health challenge. Extreme weather events driven by climate change and increasing reliance on an insecure power grid make Eniware's low-resource, disaster response work urgent. A growing network of local and international NGOs, government officials, multinational corporations, and social impact investors, are aware of the company, the technology, and the potential impact, and are eager to work with us to change the way billions of people around the world access healthcare, even under the direst of conditions. A list of Eniware Advisors can be found here: http://eniwaresterile.com/who-are-we-2/the-board/
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
Eniware strives to be a recognized leader and trusted partner in bringing innovative, self-sustaining, public-private healthcare solutions designed to meet the unique challenges faced by healthcare professionals in low-resource settings. We envision a world where every man, woman and child will have access to state of the art healthcare, including infection-free surgical, maternal health and other medical procedures, whether they need care in a blacked-out hospital in post-hurricane New York City or New Orleans, a remote hogan on the Navaho reservation, or at a temporary facility set up in a parking lot in tornado-stricken Joplin, MO. We believe our low-cost, energy-independent, portable technology that sterilizes surgical and medical instruments will help make this vision a reality.

Yoga Outreach is committed to developing and delivering life-affirming Service Yoga programs to people who do not have access to these resources for a variety of reasons. Barriers to access include mental health, age, gender, trauma history, violence, addiction, poverty, and incarceration. We approach Service Yoga in an innovative way by engaging yoga instructors who are all volunteers, and partnering them with social service organizations. We support volunteer teachers and partner facilities with training, mentorship, and ongoing program facilitation.

Yoga Outreach is committed to developing and delivering life-affirming Service Yoga programs to people who do not have access to these resources for a variety of reasons. Barriers to access include mental health, age, gender, trauma history, violence, addiction, poverty, and incarceration. We approach Service Yoga in an innovative way by engaging yoga instructors who are all volunteers, and partnering them with social service organizations. We support volunteer teachers and partner facilities with training, mentorship, and ongoing program facilitation. Our students are in turn supported by knowledgeable instructors that have an understanding of their needs based on the setting, classes that are trauma-informed, safe, and hopefully fun!
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
Our number one focus is to continue to build capacity for yoga based programming to be utilized as a complimentary therapy for people who are already accessing services. These service settings include mental health, addictions recovery, shelters, youth centres, and correctional facilities. In order to support this focus we have identified several priorities for the coming year. Our first priority is to enhance our marketing and communications to better advocate for Yoga Outreach programs and trainings in the Lower Mainland and more broadly throughout BC. Our second priority is to streamline our yoga program delivery to maximize existing resources and allow for expansion. We currently accept all requests for programming and the level of support we offer is quite high. Our third priority is to ensure that any growth is also building a foundation for the organization to move to the national level.
Need #1
Message & Brand Strategy
Need #2
Digital Marketing Strategy
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
Our branding and messaging still stems from our origins 17 years ago. Quite simply we need to update! We want to create a renewed excitement around Yoga Outreach and the work we do. We recognize the need to strengthen our brand to get people talking about Service Yoga, and to shift the perceptions around the people and settings we work with and in. There is a great deal of evidence that shows yoga can be a powerful tool for healing. Our project requires a knowledgeable guide to help us hone our core message and develop a strategy to build engagement with our brand. As we only have one full time staff member, developing a comprehensive strategy around our marketing and communications is key to maximize available staff time. Our project would include developing key messaging, an editorial calendar, and strategies for increasing digital engagement. In addition, the development of a system for tracking the impact of our messaging would be helpful.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
The support we receive will be focused on our organization as a whole. In building stronger messaging and branding for our services we hope to increase the overall capacity and recognition for yoga as a valuable tool for healing in people's lives.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
In 2011 the new Executive Director began to prioritize messaging and branding and has made some increases in community awareness of YO and it's programs. We have not worked with any outside consultants as we have limited resources.

1.
Greater clarity and consistency of our message
2.

3.
Increased community engagement as a resutl of 1 and 2
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Each year, we estimate that between 1500 and 2000 people have access to yoga as a result of our program support. We know that without our support the 25 weekly yoga programs we facilitate in partner facilities would not be able to continue. Research has shown that yoga provides numerous benefits for emotional self-regulation, physical relaxation, as well as an opportunity to experience safety and choice in one's own body. When asked about the yoga program, 95% of clients in an addictions recovery program said they would recommend the class to others. Additionally 90% of these clients reported feeling like they would be able to translate the skills they learned in class into their daily lives.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
Our hope is that we will be able to increase our access to a larger pool of donors and sponsors so we can expand programming to other areas of BC and beyond. In addition, we anticipate increased numbers of volunteer teachers applying to work in YO settings. As part of our 3 year plan we would like to position the organization to become a national leader in the development and implementation of yoga programs for marginalized groups.

Pangaea Project brings social change to schools in India through raising awareness, self-introspection, and creating projects to abolish marginalization.

When students can take ownership over the problems in the world, they will be mobilized to implement innovative solutions! Pangaea Projects provides a space for this transformation to occur and supports students in their personal growth to change society.

Pangaea Project brings social change to schools in India through raising awareness, self-introspection, and creating projects to abolish marginalization. Tackling the root of the problem by students examining their role in society is a radical yet probable way of approaching discrimination in India. When students can take ownership over the problems in the world, they will be mobilized to implement innovative solutions! Pangaea Projects provides a space for this transformation to occur and supports students in their personal growth to change society. Pangaea Project is a class that can be taught in schools in India that engages students' personal experiences and invites participation in social-justice advocacy through inter-caste dialogue, volunteerism, and critical thinking.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
The organization hopes to 1) partner with more schools in India to teach this curriculum 2) train teachers to administer this curriculum and 3) graduate 100 more students from this program so they can have the multiplier effect and bring the lessons to hundreds more.

Need #2
Staffing Capabilities
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
The Pangaea Project aims to target schools and organizations in India to teach youth about how to be the problem-solvers for issues in their communities. When this project started, it was a 6 month teaching fellowship in India with one partner school in Bhubaneswar, India. That partner school was identified by organizational connections. To make the project grow, it will be important to engage more audiences, ie schools and stakeholders, to want to participate in this project. Approaching schools, developing a "pitch", developing a marketing strategy and packet, tapping into the right networks, and knowing how and when to follow-up with schools will be essential in getting community buy-in for this socially transformative project.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
The support from American Express could be focused on the Pangea Project, which is an off-shoot of the Orbis Institute. While the focus will be the Pangaea Project, there is undoubtedly influence from the Orbis Institute that could be an area of focus as well. Both components are open to the help and support from American Express.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
No, we have not worked with outside consultants before. This would be the first time.

1.
Relationships between students from diverse caste and socioeconomic backgrounds
2.
Youth feeling empowered and capable to utilize their strengths and privileges to attack injustice
3.
Schools in India valuing this curriculum, project, and impact
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
So far, 60 students have graduated from the pilot of Pangaea Project, the Global Leadership program through the Orbis Institute. Half of the students were from a poor "tribal" school, and half were from an upper-class private schools. The groups interacted, learned about one another, learned from one another, challenged their stereotypes, and formed friendships. Students participated in final projects which evaluated their self-efficacy to engage in changemaking behavior, and the students who were in this program greatly increased their confidence in their ability to make a difference in the world.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
I think the help from American Express can help Pangaea Project strategize ways to engage audiences across India and can help us find a way to market the program so schools across India will want to participate. We hope that we can train more teachers, teach more students, and start integrating a curriculum into the school system that addresses the challenges and history the India population faces and helps kickstart Indian student engagement in social advocacy.

aProCh ( a Protagonist in every Child) is a community based initiative which works FOR and WITH the children of the city. The main idea is to create a Child Friendly City-A city which makes the child feel safe, happy and a place from which the child derives fun, joy and opportunity. Children today need to explore the wider world and a child friendly city would make this dream a reality by giving them an opportunity to safely explore and provide them with learning too.

What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
aProCh ( a Protagonist in every Child) is a community based initiative which works FOR and WITH the children of the city. The main idea is to create a Child Friendly City-A city which makes the child feel safe, happy and a place from which the child derives fun, joy and opportunity. Children today need to explore the wider world and a child friendly city would make this dream a reality by giving them an opportunity to safely explore and provide them with learning too. Development is essential for the economy but what use is the development if we are missing out on the fun and joys of childhood, To do this aProCh has undertaken different initiatives Like Street Smart, Parents of the Park ,Move'ing Experience, Tees Ka Dum and Koshish to design ‘childhood’’ for our children.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
aProCh focuses on one of its initiatives for this year that is Tees Ka Dum: This initiative is a One on One Tutorial Program geared towards providing basic education in Math & English for the children from the Municipal school. The programme has garnered excitement amongst the children and has helped motivate them to take up education and go through with it. The programme has made the children aware about education and its real world context while making studies and curriculum more exciting and hands on to the children from the underprivileged background.
aProCh also focuses on it initiatives Koshish : aProCh has undertaken the responsibility to educate the parents of the students studying under Right to Education (TE) Act at Riverside school. The school has embraced the spirit of the Act ( Compulsory Education to children from 6 to 14 years from the lower economic background) from the academic year 2011 -12. The focus in Koshish is to make the programme an all inclusive one and replicable by all schools.
We see ourselves working towards integrating the idea of aProCh at the city level and beyond. There has been a positive response to this initiative in Ahmedabad city. Today we want it to reach out to more cities and celebrate the creation of a space and city which is child friendly and celebrates the childs childhood.

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
We need assistance to reach to more people, cities, schools and NGO with digital marketing. We need to make people aware about the events happening in Ahmedabad in order to reach to more children. We need Consumer and Audience Acquisition so that more children get benefited and more organisations or sponsers come forward to support the initiatives

INTEGRITY- While mutual values are primary the core of a stable partnership is integrity. This can be built from trust.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
We would like American Express to help us in fundraising, reaching to more corporate for adopting this as an CSR activity. American Express would also be able to help us in digital marketing ..making our ideas and product reach more cities, more people and around the globe.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
No. We have not worked with outside consultants before. We believe that American Express embodies the true essence of a trusted partner and hence we would like to get our guidance from you to achieve our goals. As before, we reiterate, that it is essential for same value systems and integrity from a partnership and these are qualities we see in American Express as our counterpart till date.

Koshish ( RTE) - make it a sustainable model in all schools
3.
Making more cities child friendly by opening more recreational spaces for children.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
aProCh has reached to almost 75,000 children till date. The impact has been such that in Ahmedabad, the children have conceptualised and created legacies for city like 8 Child Friendly Zebra crossing across the city, have designed sculpture on Traffic awareness, installed in park, various murals across city. This is a First of Its Kind Initiative.
aProCh has been able to open 3 Tees Ka Dum Center across Ahmedabad and has been able to reach around 250 students to provide basic education and Well being. These children have performed well academically as well as presented them at shows like India’s got talent, Sab TV program, at Kankaria Carnival in Ahmedabad. It has started its chapters in different cities namely- Ahmedabad Rajkot, Baroda, Kolkata, Aurangabad and Surat.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
We have been able to make a huge impact in Ahmedabad. We also have started chapters in Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Surat, Auragabad and Rajkot but we haven't been able to sustain the idea in other cities. This is mainly due to lack of funds and our reach to different cities. We would want American express to help us in reaching to different cities and create awareness. We would also want Koshish program to be an inclusive program in all schools.

A strong democracy cannot survive in a networked society without informed, engaged citizens who are connected to their elected leaders. Today, there is no interactive digital link between citizens and their representatives. As such, there can be no true accountability for leaders to respond to constituents between elections. Our unique technology enables a person to provide their home address and get linked to each of his/her federal, state, and local elected leaders.

What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
A strong democracy cannot survive in a networked society without informed, engaged citizens who are connected to their elected leaders. Today, there is no interactive digital link between citizens and their representatives. As such, there can be no true accountability for leaders to respond to constituents between elections. Our unique technology enables a person to provide their home address and get linked to each of his/her federal, state, and local elected leaders. This linkage and our platform allow for polling, messaging, contact information, and new types of interactive activism including one-touch micro-petitions. Open constituent reports help leaders, citizens, groups, and the media understand the voice of the people for a more accountable and responsive representative democracy.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
1) Deploy our technology to the general public, specifically starting with New Jersey citizens, New Jersey-area government leaders and civil society organization leaders.
2) Secure funding to support marketing, technology development, and support staff
3) Secure Marketing & Sales Leader to execute marketing strategy and related sales strategy

Consumer/Audience Acquisition
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
We're technologists, not marketing experts. We have a simple solution to a complex problem that many people don't even realize they have, but our solution is hard to explain. Most Americans don't know who their elected leaders are, let alone contact them, but they think that all of their venting online and offline "counts" for something. With the rare viral post (and subsequent media attention), it doesn't. At least, it doesn't count without a direct link to their leaders and a corresponding way by which leaders can understand their constituents. Our opportunity to strengthen our democracy with our unique technology is enormous, but without a way to communicate what it is that we do and offer, we will continue to face an uphill battle in making a successful value proposition to both leaders and citizens. We know that our system is needed with this question: "Can you imagine a 21st century democracy without every citizen being directly connected to and heard by their leaders?" We also know we're different than anything that exists today. With help from American Express, we can drastically improve our ability to successfully communicate our message clearly to leaders and the public.

Honest, candid, and constructive communication style
3.
Genuine interest and passion for doing the right thing
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Support from American Express will be focused on our flagship software-as-a-service (SaaS) known as Project Engage. As it is our only service so far, it will be the only area for which we will be seeking support. However, Project Engage is a representative project for the type of work that we seek to accomplish over the long-term at American Civix Technologies. Therefore, any contributions American Express makes to our organization will hold impact in broader terms than just this initial project. Since our technology aids civil society organizations, the support will have a watershed effect.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
We have not focused on Branding & Messaging Strategy before as we have not been able to find volunteers who have the expertise we're looking for. We have a team of 26 volunteers that help with a variety of tasks and efforts as we secure the funding we need for full-time staff. One of our top priorities is securing a Marketing & Sales leader for our effort who can help with this work and, notably, the execution of this strategy. We have not worked with outside consultants as part of any official effort before although we do have a couple of consultants on our board of directors.

Increased connection and exchange of information between citizens and elected leaders
2.
Increase accountability and transparency in government
3.
Strengthen democratic participation and availability of civic resources to the everyday citizen
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
After raising $19,000 in online donations, we have built a prototype. We have not deployed our solution yet, so we do not have any official quantitative measures. However, the initial qualitative response on our prototype is promising. 100% of our users can now name their elected leaders. They are amazed to learn of the several leaders that represent them and the easy ability to access information about them (contact, lobbyist influence, historical votes, etc.). They all can have their voice heard with as little as as a tap of a finger and be directly connected with leaders in their non-political organizations as well. Most complain of the inability to break through the noise of Facebook, Twitter, and E-mail and see the value in having a direct communications channel with their leaders.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
With support from American Express, we could conceivably enable millions of under-represented Americans to be engaged, informed, and heard in ways that impact their elected leaders. We could deliver the next generation of civic engagement in America that could stabilize, strengthen, and power our democracy, systemically transforming the way everyday people are involved. People-powered social change would not be limited to 20th-century methods or those with a ton of money or time, but would be accessible and used by millions who want to be heard by their leaders. Unprecedented accountability and transparency in open democratic processes could usher in a refreshed era of trust and confidence in an accountable and responsive government that is powered by the people to act on society's needs.

Escalating healthcare issues threaten our future leaders and caregivers, namely, our teens. Alzheimer's (AD), a devastating brain disease, exhausts families and caregivers, costs America $200 billion annually, affects 1 in 8 adults by age 65 and is projected to affect 106 million worldwide by the time our 13 year olds are 51. 37 million people suffer right now. Absorbed in their own needs and living in an increasingly fast-paced, high tech world, teensʼ human engagement and ability to lead are at risk. We train middle school kids to understand AD and communicate effectively with those in need. Our innovative training and creative program structure enables kids and adults to together discover the arts and each other more fully with both empowered and transformed by the experience!
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
1. Raise seed funding in order to hire our core team;
2. Expand and deepen our community of Sweet Readers and their families from 300 + families to 700+;
3. Continue to raise awareness that AD impacts three generations and kids are the key to helping and learning from those in need right now, raising money to help find cures and prevention and being prepared as the next generation of caregivers and advocates for better healthcare.

Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
We have built a web site and Part 1 of what will be a four part documentary. On our web site, we also have a twitter feed. These have been effective, but we could use more help. We also began a Facebook page, but it's not yet operational because we don't yet have the staff or funding to support it. As for evaluations, we believe we have a deep understanding of our programs and their impact through an existing set of evaluations. We would like to strengthen them further!

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Over 300 middle school kids have impacted and learned from over 150 adults with Alzheimer's Disease - in five cities! These kids have been transformed by the impact of their intellects and empathy working together to meaningfully effect another person's life. Isolated adults living with Alzheimer's have felt a renewed sense of purpose and empowerment; many have had significant personality shifts for the better, some even speaking again for the first time in months. And the impact on the adults with AD has further impacted their families and caregivers who have felt relief and their own joy from the kids. Our participants have also enjoyed a renewed interest in the arts and many of our kids have developed a curiosity for medicine, healthcare and science.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
After receiving professional support from American Express, our programs will be better known, attract more funding and our community of kids and families will have more and deeper ways to connect. Building our community is of particular importance to us because one of the innovative aspects of Sweet Readers is that these kids are not only trained and participating in innovative programs, but that they are part of something bigger than any one program and together they are effecting change on a larger level.

The technology industry is growing and suffers from talent shortage. Without immediate action, human capital deficits in the industry will only grow. At the same time, schools--and especially schools in low income communities--are not teaching the computer programming skills necessary to thrive in the 21st Century economy. In late Sept. 2012, we launched ScritptEd, an organization that brings computer programming education to students in high-needs schools, to address this problem. ScriptEd classes are held twice weekly at students' schools and are taught by volunteers from the tech industry.

The technology industry is growing and suffers from talent shortage. Without immediate action, human capital deficits in the industry will only grow. At the same time, schools--and especially schools in low income communities--are not teaching the computer programming skills necessary to thrive in the 21st Century economy. In late Sept. 2012, we launched ScritptEd, an organization that brings computer programming education to students in high-needs schools, to address this problem. ScriptEd classes are held twice weekly at students' schools and are taught by volunteers from the tech industry. The program incorporates field trips and guest speakers to further engage students in the industry, and provides students with job-shadowing and internships opportunities in the summer.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
Our top three priorities in the next year are (1) to expand our program to additional schools and cities to serve more students, (2) to refine our curriculum, and (3) to secure enough money and resources to enable us to do both of these things.
Need #1
Opportunity Analysis
Need #2
Message & Brand Strategy
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
As an organization that is approaching the end of its first iteration, we are looking forward to taking a step back to assess both what we've accomplished and what we can improve upon. More specifically, we would like to determine which areas of our organization need the most work in the upcoming year. Some questions that come to mind include: Would having a better social media presence help further our cause and grow our organization? How can we create a sustainable funding model? How can we best measure student achievement? How can we better delegate responsibilities to our volunteers? To which cities should we expand next? How do we secure the necessary resources to expand?
3.
Creating clear and specific goals and objectives
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Support from American Express would be focused on our organization overall. As stated above, we've close to finishing the first school-year with our students and we would like to take a 'step-back' and better understand how our organization as a whole can both grow and operate more efficiently.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
We have focused on this area internally, but have not worked with outside consultants before. We created a growth plan when our program first launched, but it needs to be revisited and refined.
Are you able to commit 3-5 hours/wk over 10-12 weeks?
Sí
Are you able to meet virtually or at a convenient in-person location?
Sí
Are you able to meet in the city where your organization is based?
Sí
2.
Create a budget and fundraising model that correlate with that growth plan
3.
Create more efficient organizational systems
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Since launching in September, 2012, we have provided computer programming instruction in HTML, CSS and Javascript to approximately 25 students in two high schools in Harlem, New York. We have engaged approximately 10 volunteers in our efforts. Our students and volunteers have gone on field trips and have completed job shadows at companies including The New York Times, General Assembly and Promgirl.com. We have secured internships at tech companies for two of our students for this summer, and plan to secure internships for another eight students.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
With support from American Express, our goal is to create a plan to expand our program to serve 350 students in 35 schools in two cities by September, 2014. In order to do this, we anticipate engaging approximately 125 volunteers. In doing this, ScriptEd will continue to grow its network of students, volunteers, companies and other stakeholders to promote the inclusion of computer science and technology education in high schools across the country.

Me llamo Gabriela, actualmente estoy casada con Alejandro, tenemos dos hijos, Carlos y Luz; Carlos es Down. Desde el primer momento que me enteré que crecía en mí, soy feliz. Cuando nació y el doctor me dijo que mi hijito podría ser Down, empecé a estudiar y prepararme para afrontar el reto de ser mamá de un niño Down. Soy Ingeniero de Sistemas de profesión, y he encontrado en la tecnología una aliada para mejorar la calidad de vida de mi hijo. En mi país, Bolivia, no existe mucho avance tecnológico en el área de discapacidad, por lo tanto, el poco acceso a las tecnologías para una persona con discapacidad se ha convertido en una barrera. Coordinando con diferentes centros de apoyo e integración, universidades y padres de familia, deseo sacar adelante este proyecto.
¿Qué te hace un intraemprendedor? Cuáles son las habilidades, capacidades y rasgos personales que te hacen un intraemprendedor?
Soy una mujer luchadora, que ha superado muchas dificultades en la vida. Además, de audaz y creativa. Siempre transmito a los de mi alrededor alegría y ganas de hacer las cosas. Trato de sacar tiempo al tiempo para hacer las actividades que me gustan como enseñar, practicar algún deporte y en especial conocer mucha gente :)
Dentro la empresa que trabajo, me gusta integrarme en diferentes tipos de actividades, propiciando que personas de diferentes equipos interactúen y se conozcan.
El 23 de noviembre, organicé la mesa redonda "La informática y su colaboración en la integración a la sociedad de personas con capacidades diferentes"(http://www.tech-zone.org).

Idea (estás listo para lanzarla)
Necesidad: ¿Qué problema social o medioambiental estás intentando solucionar?
Con la creación de tecnologías, informáticas o electrónicas, coadyuvar en la integración de personas con discapacidad, desde niños hasta adultos, para mejorar su calidad de vida y lograr su integración en la sociedad y trabajo. La idea es comenzar con los centros de apoyo para personas con discapacidad intelectual, visual y auditiva.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Ya se ha conversado con directivos de diferentes universidades para que permitan que sus estudiantes participen, hagan como pasantías y tesis, proyectos de creación de software o equipos electrónicos en base a las necesidades identificadas con los centros de apoyo a personas con discapacidad. Varios de mis compañeros de trabajo ya se han unido a impulsar esta idea.
La Solución: ¿Por qué es innovadora la solución para tu compañía e industria?
Porque permitirá que los profesionales en el área de informática y afines, se sensibilicen con la necesidad de contar con aplicaciones accesibles para personas con discapacidad. Además de ser un bien social para la comunidad.
El Modelo: danos un ejemplo específico de cómo tu solución hace una diferencia; inluye tus actividades principales.
Para mi hijo, que es Down, he creado algunas herramientas que le están ayudando a familiarizarse con animales y sus sonidos. Ahora estoy trabajando en otra para que aprenda la vocalización de letras, porque está teniendo dificultades para hablar, ya tiene 3 años.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Tengo conocimiento que hay empresas que han desarrollado algunas aplicaciones para ayudar a algunas discapacidades, pero el problema es que el costo para poder utilizarlas es alto (licencia), y por lo general las personas con discapacidad o sus familias son de escasos recursos.

Yo trabajo constantemente con computadora, en los horarios que no eran de trabajo, solía estar con mi hijo que es Down al frente de mi PC. Siempre le llamaba la atención los sonidos y colores. Un día bajé una aplicación en swf para que aprenda las letras del abecedario, en inglés (no encontré en español), y aprendió a repetir como dice el mono y el elefante, ahí dije "¡Ajá!". Ahí comenzó todo,..
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Hay padres que me consultan como hago para que mi hijo tenga tanto avance que no se note la diferencia con otros niños que no son Down, y les comparto las herramientas que tengo, y me han comentado que les ha ayudado mucho.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado en los próximos 3 años?
La idea es generar varias aplicaciones de software para ayuda en lecto-escritura y asociación para niños, también capacidad a jóvenes y adultos en el uso de programas para que puedan desenvolverse laboralmente. Difundir todos los logros mediante talleres, etc.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Por el momento la mayor dificultad identificada es la desmotivación. Por eso, estoy tratando de rodearme de personas que tengan muchas ganas de sacar la idea adelante, sin esperar recompensa económica.

En cuanto a tiempo, estoy empleando el que tengo disponible después del trabajo y los fines de semana. Y dinero, no he necesitado mucho aún, solo para las llamadas telefónicas y el consumo de Internet.

Pretendo conseguir fondos de diferentes fundaciones, ya que es de bien social. A largo plazo, seguro que necesitará ser autosostenible, es algo en lo que todavía estoy trabajando y no he identificado.

Dentro la empresa me he contactado con compañeros que tienen algún familiar con algún tipo de discapacidad, que están muy involucrados en la idea. De afuera de la empresa, me he contactado con representantes de varios centros de apoyo e integración de personas con discapacidad, además, ya he recibido la aceptación de participación en le proyecto de 3 universidades de Cochabamba - Bolivia.

The project is aimed to the children in hospitals who spend there a lot of time. Some children can spend months in hospitals, they get bored and they need society to communicate with. Also children are vulnerable to staying in such conditions more than adults because they need to be in progress all the time.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Our project is going, first of all, to create a volunteering group which is going to visit hospitals and entertain children with some activities. Also we plan to create life-size puppet because children love big dolls.

The project "Children's Friends" is aimed at the children because they are preferential in need of support from the side of adults. Especially when some of them is in the hospital for a long time due to some disease. For many of them it is hard to experience the time spent in the walls of a hospital so we’ll try to do everything we can for young patients to make them feel much more better in the conditions of the hospital setting. So, first of all, the project "Children's Friends" dedicated to children from hospitals.

La Solución: ¿Por qué es innovadora la solución para tu compañía e industria?
Because it costs nothing at all yet creates ripples of enormous spiritual benefit that will re-introduce the West to the true meaning of karma, which is not, "I do something good and then something good happens to me" as it has become popularly understood, but rather, "I am connected in unity and oneness to everything and everyone, so when I do something good for others, I am already receiving something good myself"

The Federal Reserve claims the average lifespan of a new dollar bill is 4.8 years = 1,752 days. There is unfortunately, no data available on how frequently an individual bill changes hands in its usable lifetime. Once a day sounds about right to me, but wouldn’t you agree that with a single wallet full of Dandelion Dollars, you could realistically expect to reach 10,000 people in the lifespan of those bills?
According to government statistics, out of 10,000 adult Americans:
1,810 suffer from an anxiety disorder
1,500 are living in poverty
930 needed treatment for a drug or alcohol abuse problem in the last year
670 suffer from a major depressive disorder
400 will divorce in the next year
38 will commit a violent crime in the next year
11 will attempt suicide in the next year
1 will die from suicide in the next year
If you could reach out to these 5,360 struggling people with a message of LOVE, JOY, HOPE don’t you think that it would make a real difference to one, or two, or five, or 100 of them to receive it at just the right time when they desperately needed a sign that things can get better. That there are forces out there in the universe pulling for them?. What if my math is wrong? What if it wouldn’t reach 5,360 people like this? What if it only reached 536? Or 53? Or 5? Wouldn’t that still be reason enough to reach out to them? But what if one Dandelion Dollar recipient picked up a dollar and a pen and made a Dandelion Dollar of their own? What if 5 did? What if 53 did? What if 536 did? What if 5,360 did? What if everyone did? :-)

Necesidad: ¿Qué problema social o medioambiental estás intentando solucionar?
Familiar with America’s Got Talent and Britain’s Got Talent? Okay, it doesn’t matter whether your answer is “Yes” or “No”, the point is that our company got talent, you are the talent and everybody is talented in their own ways.
However, think about it, you will find that your talent but doesn’t not benefit you or the society the most. Most of the time, the company have the talents wasted, and you yourself also got your talents idled.
How to make most of the cooperate talents and your personal talent to encourage sharing and community learning contribution? Here is this idea, SnL, an open classroom for you and by you.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
SnL is an open classroom based on Accenture’s evasive learning resources and talent pool. Everybody in the local community interested can register as a learner or a sharer. Will be an add-up to Accenture’s internal training programs and the first step of open Accenture’s knowledge resources to the community.
Where, when & what are the classes?
Can be Accenture’s meeting rooms or places sponsored by local government. Class can be an internal training program that is appropriate to open to the community or a brand new one submitted by our course conductor or YOU. Classes will happen during after-work hours and weekend.
• How the courses come into being?
Ideally there should be a webpage for this open classroom, but at the very beginning it can be an email address of the responsible person. You can submit course idea to it for review. Or the contact group can come out with some topics, post it online,anyone interested and capable to conduct it can take the role.
La Solución: ¿Por qué es innovadora la solución para tu compañía e industria?
Nearly all the top international companies have their own excellent learning and training system, this is especially true when it comes to Accenture. Accenture’s social learning mission is to enable our people to learn from each other and bring the best of Accenture to our clients. For Accenture, building a collaborative and sharing culture is still a journey. Yes, there is no shortcut but there is this innovative way out. Open classroom is first of its kind.
El Modelo: danos un ejemplo específico de cómo tu solución hace una diferencia; inluye tus actividades principales.
Since it is still an idea to be implemented, there is no real example to cite for you. But I can tell you that courses like Business English or Basic Japanese which are now open to internal employee and conducted by vendors in Accenture China, can definitely have our internal talents to take the conductor role. Just give you some detailed idea of why both Accenture and its people would like to do it.
• Why Accenture employee want to be part of it
First of all, “We learn by teach and teach by learn.”An open classroom is where we can become a sharer and share what we learned with not only our colleagues but the entire community. Personally we take a step further when we become the sharer because we are the owner of the knowledge if we can share it.
Second, as innovative employees, we are part of the company and the community, we want to contribute even just in the smallest ways. We also want to have a different weekend or after-working hours by going out to the world and do something meaningful.
• Why Accenture want to do this?
First of all, it is a good fit for its “building a collaborative and sharing culture” mission.
Second, with its online resources and its talented employees, Accenture is capable of starting this first of its kind initiative.
Third, it can help Accenture tap deep into its talents pool, and provide its employee a platform to share and grow.
Fourth, it can also help Accenture save budget by not paying venders to do an Accenture employee abled course. Actually, most of the times, an Accenture employee can do it even better.
El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?
We are not doing something to compete with someone, but to contribute and be a better social enterprise. It is an open class where people and share, learn from each other, light other’s life even just a little bit .
There might be open classes by different non-for-profit community. Each of them got their own advantages and disadvantages. Accenture’s open class has Accenture’s massive online learning recourses as its knowledge base which can contribute to its biggest advantages. To open the resources by having its employees to share with the community is a win-win solution.

When we share what we learned, we are like the mirror reflecting the light of knowledge, when we share what we have we are the candle to light up more people’s life.
With Accenture's approximately 259,000 employees in more than 120 countries, it can definitely make a positive change in the world with this open classroom initiative. You never know how many people’s life will be touched and changed just by attending the open courses. On one side, everyone in this initiative is the sharer and the benefiter, and on the other side everyone is volunteering and is being volunteered. “We confirm our reality by sharing”, so here we are, in the SnL open Classroom, to share and light.

I work for SCB’s Project Finance Africa team, financing infrastructure projects crutial for the development of the Continent. My interest in social finance started in 2010 when I represented JPMorgan in a similar competition by evaluating proposals. During my time in London Business School, I assisted a Ghanaian micro-finance organization with capital-raising and my interest turned into academic work with my graduation thesis about the undercapitalisation of UK social enterprises by providing a valuation methodology, which received the highest grade. Finally I co-headed a research project, supported by Big Society Network (BSN) into UK Social Finance industry by interviewing all key players which provided valuable insights and a motivation for this competition.
¿Qué te hace un intraemprendedor? Cuáles son las habilidades, capacidades y rasgos personales que te hacen un intraemprendedor?
I believe in the importance of specialisation and being the expert of something but also in expanding one's horizon with new knowledge. I am a learner with a pattern of going into emerging areas. I got interested in social finance for the first time four years ago when it was still a new concept. My motivation to understand new things has been a constant driver for me to challenge the status quo on how to apply new trends or discoveries to my environment. I am a good networker and a good listener, which allows me to understand the corporate culture, spot opportunities to apply these trends within the organization by addressing the right people with the right business strategy to gain their support. I have high energy levels and when I am engaged, I can motivate people and lead.

Idea (estás listo para lanzarla)
Necesidad: ¿Qué problema social o medioambiental estás intentando solucionar?
UKSocial Finance market was £190mm in 2011 despite funds of £600mm being available from the government alone without counting private investments. During my market research “lack of investable businesses” and “insufficient capital” were the most pronounced key industry inhibitors identified by investors and entrepreneurs respectively. These are actually interconnected. In reality capital is available to profit-making, commercially sustainable businesses with management teams able to speak the language of “investors". Many entrepreneurs with great ideas and relevant experience are not “investment ready” because they don’t understand how the investment process works or types of funding instruments available and can’t pitch ideas effectively. They need support to become investment ready.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
Entrepreneurs need to know how to structure their business around a profitable idea but also how to present and structure their ask which requires an understanding of financing options available as well as an awareness of what the investors want to see. Finance, among other skills, can be gained through training. There are many support organizations and incubators in the UK such as BSN, UnLtd, ClearlySo. SCB offers its employees three paid leave to volunteer. We have skilled and knowledgeable people looking to contribute to their society and community. In cooperation with a major and reputable support organization, a training program targeting these necessary skills (basic finance, investment process, presentation, pitching etc) can be created and delivered by SCB volunteers. Same program can also be extended to include a mentorship scheme for the volunteers to continue to work with the entrepreuneurs following the training untill succesful fund raising.
La Solución: ¿Por qué es innovadora la solución para tu compañía e industria?
SCB runs many volunteering programs and there are also many external ones such as Bankers Without Borders initiative. Albeit crutial, these focus in one community or social area. By training future social entrepreuneurs, SCB will contribute to the creation of social innovation and sustainability to a large scale.For the industry, there are many support organizations with very skilled employees. This project will supply technical, active practitioners it needs in a fast way.
El Modelo: danos un ejemplo específico de cómo tu solución hace una diferencia; inluye tus actividades principales.
Following a selection process, SCB agrees on co-operation for training sessions with X, one of the UK’s major support organizations which is known to and trusted by most social investors. Benefiting from X’s experience from its work with social entrepreneurs and screening hundreds of proposals every year, SCB creates a training agenda for the core skills and technical knowledge the entrepreneurs need for access to capital. Then SCB posts volunteering positions in the Bank’s intranet. X also nominates a group of promising entrepreneurs from their database to attend SCB training. SCB creates a pool of volunteers to deliver training and participate in mentorship schemes. A from Principle Investing for investment process and cycle, B from Corporate Finance and C from Debt Capital Markets jointly for basics of investment instruments, D from Business Strategy for writing a business plan and presentation skills are selected to conduct the respective trainings. Following the training, SCB mentorship volunteers continue to work with entrepreneurs until they are “investment ready”. Kathy develops an application for smart phones to help young patients to take their medicines on time.She receives a small grant to start the business.She is now in growth stage and needs capital.X refers her to SCB's training and after gaining an understanding of financial options available, she decides to raise equity from a venture capitalist with industry knowledge and contacts who can also mentor her.Ali from SCB helps her to perfect her business plan and practice her presentation ahead of her pitch

There is a growing acceptance that social entrepreneurs(SE) and their ventures can bring creative solutions and scale to products and services coupled with sustainable business models to deliver positive social impact. The recent launch of Big Society Capital and the establishment of social impact bonds changed the UK landscape by increasing the number of funds investing in SEs as well as support organizations and programs acting as conduits between investors and SEs to make them investment ready (i.e: Deloitte’s Pioneers, Skoll/Oxford’s Entrepreneurship Center, UnLtd, ClearlySo) My idea does not compete with any existing players, but complements their mission by providing skilled workforce/volunteers with needed technical knowledge and understanding of financial processes.

While evaluating competition proposals for the competition on behalf of JPMorgan and working with the micro-finance institution I realized how much SEs struggled with basic finance process and knowledge that I took for granted as a finance professional. During my market research, while all SE investors were talking about a shortage/ lack of professional proposals, I met lots of SEs who had good ideas but who didn’t know what to ask for and how. My Aha moment came during an interview when a founding member of a support organization said:” it’s a pity, there are so many people interested in social finance but few with finance background/career. People don’t want to give up to big pay checks” She was an ex-investment banker and her organization was also suffering from the same problem despite the great talent she had in the company. Intrapreneurship: share the knowledge while staying at current job and pay, get familiar with the industry and contribute to its development.
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
My proposal is at the idea stage. The focus of my UK Social Finance research was to identify dysfunctional areas of the market via interviews with investors, support organizations and SEs and provide solutions to help the industry to reach its full potential. I had the opportunity to interview most major players in the UK Social Finance at senior level leveraging the network provided by London Business School and Big Society Network. I have run my idea by a few support organization as well as investors and received positive feedback in terms of their potential cooperation. When SCB’s volunteering team recently posted mentoring opportunities for a UK social entrepreneur which was oversubscribed, it encouraged me to continue with this project. I had the idea but I was not very sure how to proceed with it. I am hoping that this competition will provide the necessary platform internally and externally to bring it to life.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado en los próximos 3 años?
The project is a first step of a wider vision. After creating awareness and success stories, capitalizing on the momentum, next step would be to create a social finance group like some of our competitors like Deutsche Bank, UBS, JPMorgan etc making SCB one of the pioneers of a nascent industry. tThe group can continue with the training, contribute to provide research into the industry and can take to other home markets of the Bank in Asia and Africa, leveraging its understanding of emerging markets thanks to its long-standing operating history and local presence. After getting familiar and confortable with the industry, perhaps the social finance group could participate in the market as a SE investor combining the existing skill and know-how of its Principle Investment group.
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
Social Finance will reach its potential of creating sustainable social innovation only if it becomes an asset class attracting institutional investors.At the moment the industry lacks a poster child. While this type of projects can help to get institutional investors like SCB familiar,they unfortunately face the same problem.Social finance is a new concept also to SCB.Therefore, internally a big effort to create awareness about social finance through marketing is needed as well as getting the crucial senior management sponsorship.After success stories, SCB will be familiar with the industry and the internal support will be wider.This will also create a track record promoting the participation of other institutions making it an asset class thus self sustaining without any volunteers.

SCB is a British bank. This project creates an opportunity to give back to its home country and be one of the leaders of social innovation and sustainable development in the UK. It is scalable; the project therefore gives scope for SCB to participate in the growth of social finance in its foot print in Asia, Africa and Middle East. The bank has the required infrastructure: commitment, volunteering schemes, technical knowledge and local presence. And if it chooses to, a platform the Principle Investment team to extend its portfolio to SEs.
¿Cómo estás impulsando recursos internos (fondos, tiempo, concimiento, etc.) para sostener esta iniciativa?
One of the reasons why I chose SCB as my employer is the commitment of the company to sustainable finance and the adoption of giving back to communities as a core value. In the near future, no funding is required as social capital is what the project needs. SCB has a team coordinating volunteering opportunities within the organization providing an infrastructure that can be used for the Project. Technical knowledge to create and deliver the trainings and volunteering culture for social work coupled with corporate incentives providing employees with time off makes SCB the perfect corporate environment for this intrapreuneurship project.People involved in the project such as myself will be using their three volunteering days as well as some personal time especially until the project is live.
Amplía tu respuesta, explicando el plan de financiación y sostenimiento a largo plazo.
If the project will be extended to the emerging markets of Africa and Asia, the trainers/volunteers might need to provide the training via webinar sessions or sometimes travel, which might require budget allocation from the bank. But if a social finance group is created, the project will be developed under its business strategy and associated budget.
Cuéntanos sobre tus asociados, dentro de tu empresa y por fuera, que sean claves para el éxito de tu proceso.
Having recently completed my UK Social Finance Market research and my graduation thesis on the same subject, I have a fresh network comprising of major investors, support organizations and incubators of the UK Social Finance Industry as well as social enterprises I worked with. This network will be the key to source to find the right support organization for cooperation and the suitable social entrpreneurs to join the program as well as creating the training curriculum.
¿Qué apoyo interno has tenido para tu proyecto? Qué tipos de retrocesos has sufrido?
SCB has a group promoting internal ideas and idea generation mechanisms such as this competition. The entries from SCB employees will also be considered and taken forward internally. I am in the process of getting internal feedback about my idea from my internal network which has been positive so far. My project is at “idea stage”and I hope that this competition will bring the recognition of its value and provide the necessary internal and external platform.

This employee volunteering group empowers employees to make a difference in their communities through direct service volunteering events and supporting employees’ fundraising efforts. Since its inception, the team has donated over 125 hours of service and over $15,000 in communities where we do business.

I started an employee volunteering group at a 750+ person global firm with the goal of creating a bottom-up movement to engage colleagues with their visions of how they want to make a difference in the world. Local team leaders in each office (in New Delhi, Shanghai, San Diego, New York/New Jersey, Boston, Paris, and London) run events to engage employees with the local community. The group’s goals are:
1. To provide a forum for employees to give back to their local communities through direct service volunteering events and supporting employees' fundraising efforts.
2. To help employees connect with colleagues to facilitate a sense of community at the company
¿Qué te hace un intraemprendedor? Cuáles son las habilidades, capacidades y rasgos personales que te hacen un intraemprendedor?
I am a “connector” in the Malcolm Gladwell “Tipping Point” sense of the word. My Gallup Strengths are Activator, Strategic, Input, Learner, and Woo (winning over others). What makes me an intrapreneur is my drive to connect people around the world to create a sense of global community, and empower them to have an impact – however they define it – in their local communities.
Over time, I built my personal network at the firm, starting with learning many names and faces. I compiled useful “how-to” guides that I shared with colleagues, such as how to run a webinar or get a mentor. Eventually I could leverage my reputation as a helpful, connected employee to help get innovative ideas off the drawing board and into reality. I find ways to tap unused resources to make an impact.

Necesidad: ¿Qué problema social o medioambiental estás intentando solucionar?
The social problems that this global employee volunteering group addresses vary from office to office. Causes we support include advising low-income entrepreneurs, education, blood drives, feeding the hungry and environmental sustainability (e.g. cleaning up parks and public spaces).
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
The global employee volunteering group is a forum for employees to give back to their local communities through direct service volunteering events and supporting employees’ fundraising efforts. It also helps employees connect with colleagues to empower a community of like-minded changemakers at the company.
Employees in different offices can lead events as often as they have time, from about once a month in our HQ office to quarterly or semiannually. We have a monthly conference call with interested employees (team leaders/team members), and if anyone has questions or issues with implementation, we coordinate with the various company departments to make sure team activities can happen.
La Solución: ¿Por qué es innovadora la solución para tu compañía e industria?
Pro bono consulting is not currently practical for employees who work long hours and often travel for work. By focusing on building a community of local team leaders who want to make an impact in their local communities, we work around the constraints of scheduling to empower people to make a difference as they see fit.
El Modelo: danos un ejemplo específico de cómo tu solución hace una diferencia; inluye tus actividades principales.
One example of work we do is partnering with the nonprofit Rising Tide Capital, which runs business advising workshops with entrepreneurs from low-income areas of New Jersey. To date, 7 volunteers have provided advice in marketing, budgeting, and business planning to over 20 NJ entrepreneurs.
Another example is the “Power of 100” program in the New Delhi office. Whether employees choose to donate 100 USD or 100 rupees, the global employee volunteering group makes it easy to contribute via payroll deductions to an education nonprofit. Along with local team leaders in New Delhi, I worked with the Finance department to ensure that payroll deductions could be made to support the AID Noida-Prayas school in the Naya Bans slum in Noida, not far from the office. This ongoing financial support enables the AID Noida-Prayas school to serve more students and contributes to hiring additional teaching staff. Employee volunteers also tutor and evaluate AID-Noida – Prayas students’ performance, to help ensure their education is comparable to other schools.

VolunteerMatch, Catchafire.org, Net Impact Service Corps, Taproot Foundation, and the Points of Light/Hands On Network all support various individual and corporate volunteering efforts. These players are not a challenge to the employee volunteering group's success or growth since employees who are engaged volunteering leaders may choose to lead additional activities in partnership with these organizations. What differentiates this group from these volunteering organizations is that the “employee community” model is flexible enough to allow people to step up and be a leader for one event or in an ongoing commitment, depending on their schedule.

When I attended the StartingBloc Institute for Social Innovation in March 2011 in Boston, I met a group of like-minded changemakers. I learned from StartingBloc that I didn’t have to wait to get a formal job in CSR to “be the change I wanted to see in my company.” I knew that when I returned to work, I had to start a global employee volunteering group.
In college, one of my career advisors told me to “do lots of informational interviews.” I kept following that advice even after I got a job, and used my networking skills to find and connect like-minded “changemaking colleagues.”
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Globally, about 5% of employees have participated in at least one volunteering or fundraising activity. Since 2010, employees have donated over $15,000 to charitable organizations in places where we do business, with over 125 volunteer hours donated in 2011.
Since September 2010, Shanghai employees raised over $10,000 to support 50+ impoverished kids who can’t afford middle school and high school.
In May 2012, New Delhi employees raised over $3,000 to support AID-Noida – Prayas to benefit a school in the Naya Bans slum.
As part of Rising Tide Capital business advising workshops and a business plan competition, 7 NY-NJ employees consulted with over 20 NJ entrepreneurs from low-income areas.
In fall 2012, London employees walked 10 miles to raise over $2,000 for Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres.
In September 2012, San Diego employees cleaned up our oceans in an “Underwater Trash Bash”
New Delhi employees organized a building-wide blood drive in June 2012 with 104 participants.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado en los próximos 3 años?
$5,000-$20,000 per year additional funds raised for nonprofit organizations in China, India, the US and Europe
150-400 hours of volunteering per year
Better education for kids in urban Delhi and rural provinces of China
Stronger businesses for low income entrepreneurs in New Jersey, USA
¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?
We need to improve the organizational structure to further develop global and local office team leaders. Later in January 2013, we will be working with some MBA students from the University of Michigan (in Prof. Jerry Davis’s intrapreneurship class) to get some strategic advice on leadership development for other team members. In the next few months, one goal is to identify another local leader who could become the global group leader, with the global group leader position potentially rotating from person to person every year.

We create a stronger community of employees within each office who do volunteering projects together. This helps recruitment and retention.
Based on a few surveys, volunteers report being happier, more satisfied with their jobs, more motivated, and committed to the company. In the surveys, a majority of respondents agreed with statements like:
“The volunteering activity improved my sense of well-being/happiness”
“The volunteering activity improved my job satisfaction”
“Since the activity I am more likely to talk positively about the company”
¿Cómo estás impulsando recursos internos (fondos, tiempo, concimiento, etc.) para sostener esta iniciativa?
Every December, I submit a request for budget based on planned activities for the next year. I also ask Principals, VPs, and C level executives for advice on an as-needed basis every few months. By definition, running the employee volunteering group involves partnerships across departments, so I have collaborated with people in many areas to run events, increase engagement, and address bureaucratic hurdles.
Amplía tu respuesta, explicando el plan de financiación y sostenimiento a largo plazo.
The current budget is about $6,600 USD globally, from the budget for social clubs from each office. Future financial support will come from budgets submitted yearly by the global employee volunteering group leader, confirmed by local office leaders, and is based on planned activities for the next year.
Cuéntanos sobre tus asociados, dentro de tu empresa y por fuera, que sean claves para el éxito de tu proceso.
Shanghai employees partner with the “One-on-One” program, started by the Fang Cao Association, a youth volunteer association founded by students at the Univ. of Science & Technology of China.
In New Jersey, we partner with Rising Tide Capital since they run business planning workshops for low-income entrepreneurs.
We also work with the Finance department (so employees in India could donate to a charity through payroll deductions) as well the Women in Business club.
¿Qué apoyo interno has tenido para tu proyecto? Qué tipos de retrocesos has sufrido?
The Chief Strategy Officer, the Chief People Officer, a VP of Finance, the Finance department in India and several Principals have been supportive. The main push-back was when I proposed a matching donation program. Essentially, our current corporate structure does not have major benefits from corporate tax deductions by donating more to charity, so this was not feasible.
Mobile HeathEd is a project to fight the cultural & religious battles to vaccination, other preventable diseases and maternal health in developing countries. It takes advantage of cultural roots & understanding of the citizens (at home & in the Diaspora) who work in health sector to fight to communicate scientific information to communities in a way that sounds meaningful, comprehensible, and trustworthy. The goal is to promote vaccination coverage and advance medicines access and hard-nosed business goals (of sponsoring organization, if any) by building trust with communities.
