Artes e cultura

Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are promoting arts and culture in Brazil:

Dora Andrade has created a program (EDISCA) that combines dance training with other learning opportunities and support services for girls in economically and culturally deprived communities on the outskirts of Fortaleza, Brazil. The program is making important contributions to the girls' social development and is equipping them with the confidence that will enable them to enter adulthood with a positive outlook and develop productive lives.

Elevator Pitch

Offering initiative of combining language & media course for teens which establish community radio in schools promoting Godly characters, communicate in 2 languages while also promote environmental dan disaster awareness. And with INTERNET we can global. Kindly watch us: www.youtube.com/carlystiana.

Problema

Leader arises from facing two hot issues of our country: DISASTERS i.e. Corruption that embedded for years and natural disasters. On government levels, there are agencies both governmental and NGO that are focusing on corrective actions.
I would like to focus on children and youths as they are the future indonesian leaders. As for natural disasters, we focus on creating awareness and preparedness.

Solução

We believe in the process and using communication in education as the process, media as a tool in transforming communities. We created LEADER ABC as a module which can be adopted and duplicated by schools anywhere in the world (because we use English as the means of communication). LEADER ABC is combining media & language course which eventually establish community radios run by teens.
Its innovation lies on how media contribute richly into our education system and the teens themselves are the agent of change. With regards to RADIO innovation, INTERNET comes in and enables us to not only listen to radio but also watching radio.

Exemplo

The video attached in this changeshop gives visual example on how different schools do social-learning dialogue on one particular issue: corruption.
We teach media and language in schools as their afterschool activities and after a year, students can run radio community within their schools but also extended on social media networks.

Impacto

Students at school but with social media & internet we can actually do global social change movement.

Mercado

Secondary schools all over Indonesia.

Plano de Sustentabilidade

Creating LEADER website which allow sponsorships to be featured on that web. Sponsors will not only benefit being branded on the web but also sponsors with the same vision in education will benefit more.

Indonesia is facing both natural and social disasters, I believe media could help prevent or even respond to disaster and sometimes those disasters are created by us human due to the lack of knowledge. I believe in the process and media can contributes richly in our education system as the process to hinder us from disasters.Healthy environment with a broad definition could not only hinder us from disaster but actually improve our quality of life.

Empower Youth Life by Empowering Culture

Anos de fundação

2012

Estágio

Start-up (piloto lançado e começando a operar)

Elevator Pitch

1. Create creative person who can invented their own "path" based on their knowledge and life value.
2. Change the young people perspective about their own culture and tradition.As something valuable in life.

Problema

-Many young people cant continue their study not only because bad economic situation, but also because lack of motivation too pursue education.
-Low quality education in West Sumatera which create unmotivated and creative student
-The cultural value and tradition started to vanish among young people
- Lack of skill & entrepreneur spirit among young people, increase number of unskilled job seeker.

Solução

The solution that we offer here are, we will create activity that combine all those need, education, life value and skill based on our culture. All this skill will be develop based on the youngsters interest.
Like we will teach youngster to cook, for who likes to cook. But all the food will be cooked will be traditional food, with traditional way. And during the those cooking time we will give them introduction about the history of the food and how the used this food in the old time.
We also will teach them traditional performance such as singing and dancing, if they have interest in art.
All those skilled we will completed by giving them, simple and basic management lesson to empower their skilled to increase their economic situation

Exemplo

The form of this festival mostly will held in a competition format. First we will show them how to do it, next they have to do it by them self in certain among of time.
Like our reading event, we targeted to do it in 4 orphanage and after finish with all orphanage, we finalized those event with reading competition for all participants. And after we show them how to develop this folklore knowledge into more wider area, to our traditional theater activity. And then they can build a small theater group.
Its work the same to traditional cooking class, and other class that we planned to open soon.

Impacto

Like our reading event : impacted 200 teenager in 4 orphanage. As a final result we hope, from that orphanage we can created 1 theater group (contain of 20 kids) that can be hired for festival or art event.
We hope this number keep growing as we wider our activity, to cooking and other traditional skill.
In the future, the number of beneficiaries will be unlimited. Depend how much we can provide the resources and how hard we working on it. We will openly working with other culture also, and allow our work and pattern to be replicated by others in their own area.

Mercado

Our targeted is low income young people from West Sumatera.
But so far, in West Sumatera area we have not yet found the same program has been done by others.

Plano de Sustentabilidade

So far we still using our own resources to financing or activity. but in the future we planned for sustainability by commercialized some of our activity. Beside give free lesson for low income young people, ( like what we did now) we will open commercial course for regular young people. All income that we get from this activity is using to support all activity for our regular activity. We hope we will open this course in the next 6 month.

Histório de Fundação

We decided to established the foundation was all because our concern to our cultural lost, that effected by our own people. Its happen when we have small accident, where my mom have an accident. She bumped to young girl, and then when she say sorry, the girl really upset and react inappropriately to my mother. No more respect to elderly among young people, like we used to have and teach in our culture.
Many tradition has been vanished from young people life, in the name of modernization. And one of the most important thing that start to vanished from young people in West Sumatera are, traditional value. And its give us an idea to build institution to preserve this cultural value and also bring along real answer to problem in our area.

INOVAÇÃO

Nome do seu projeto

Associação Arte Despertar

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

A inovação da Arte Despertar é ter desenvolvido ao longo de 15 anos uma metodologia que permite trabalhar de forma transversal pacientes, acompanhantes e colaboradores (profissionais da saúde e funcionários), o que reflete na harmonização do ambiente hospitalar e contribui para o processo de humanização da saúde.

Os resultados da aplicação da metodologia Arte Despertar:
Em hospitais:
contribuição com a política de humanização;
harmonização do ambiente hospitalar;
formação de grupo de disseminadores da Tecnologia Arte Despertar na instituição.
Com Profissionais da saúde:
descobertas, desenvolvimento e direcionamento de competências e potencialidades;
transformação da capacidade pessoal em atitudes humanizadoras;
acesso a conteúdos de arte e cultura.
Com Pacientes e acompanhantes:
acolhimento e apoio emocional;
reforço de vínculos familiares e afetivos;
acesso a conteúdos de arte e cultura.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

A metodologia Arte Despertar tem como diferencial a realização de ações formativas especificas para os colaboradores do hospital.
Ações formativas são encontros sobre humanização na saúde com conteúdos de arte e cultura que utilizam as linguagens da arte (musica, literatura e artes plásticas) com suporte da pedagogia e psicologia. São trabalhados temas que estimulam a reflexão e a revisão de atitudes, comportamentos e valores: identidade, relações, comunicação e percepção.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

Desde a estruturação inicial da Associação Arte Despertar houve a preocupação em definir uma equipe com profissionais experientes na área técnica e na gestão administrativa.

A estrutura da equipe Arte Despertar conta com:

- Técnica - psicólogos, pedagogos e arte-educadores

- Administrativo – gestores geral, administrativo financeiro e comunicação, coordenadores de projeto operacional e conteúdo, analista administrativo financeiro e estagiário.

- Governança – associados, diretoria, conselho fiscal e consultivo

- Conta ainda com assessoria jurídica e auditoria externa independente.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

A Arte Despertar tem dentre suas estratégias a formação continuada e o estimulo à pesquisa para sua equipe. Isto possibilita o olhar atento às novas propostas e a busca de melhoria continua. Está sempre atualizando sua metodologia e adaptando-as de acordo com as necessidades dos clientes.

A Política Nacional de Humanização/PNH encontra problemas que dificultam um atendimento mais humano e a Arte Despertar pode contribuir na solução de:

• Fragmentação do processo de trabalho, das relações entre profissionais e a rede assistencial

Por favor, especifique:

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

A metodologia Arte Despertar é divida em três etapas, que resultam num maior estímulo ao respeito, valorização do indivíduo, promoção da ética nas relações, diálogo e solidariedade:

1)Mobilização: Etapa individual dirigida aos colaboradores e pacientes, que trabalha a partir do conteúdo cultural do participante. As linguagens da arte promovem a comunicação entre a equipe Arte Despertar e o participante.
2) Experimentação: Encontros de arte e cultura com colaboradores para percepção e reflexão sobre suas ações, procedimentos e atitudes cotidianas.
3) Apropriação: Utilização pelo colaborador de seu potencial e habilidades descobertas em ações de humanização na prática diária.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

Visão: Ser catalizadora de ações em humanização com arte e cultura.
Objetivo: Contribuir para o fortalecimento de indivíduos que se encontram em um ambiente hospitalar

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

Desenvolver competências de indivíduos por meio da arte e cultura promovendo a harmonização do ambiente hospitalar e contribuindo para o processo de humanização da saúde.

Quem são seus clientes?

Nossos principais clientes são:
Hospitais públicos e particulares
Clínicas
Pronto-socorro
Postos de saúde
Instituições de formação e ensino de profissionais da saúde

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

A Arte Despertar desenvolve suas atividades em hospitais da região metropolitana de São Paulo. As abordagens para parcerias são firmadas por meio de indicação de contatos. Permanecemos em cada hospital por vários anos, criando uma história, desenvolvendo uma relação de parceria, credibilidade e confiança na condução da proposta de trabalho.
Desta forma conquistamos a entrada em áreas inusitadas das instituições, por exemplo, nas UTIs e Centros Cirúrgicos, e somos recomendados para atuar em outros hospitais e a expandir ações para as escolas e universidades coligadas.

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

• Atendimento com atividades arte-educativas e culturais nas linguagens musica, artes visuais e contação de histórias para pacientes, acompanhantes e colaboradores de saúde;
• Ações formativas com gestores e colaboradores, onde se estimula a percepção sobre si mesmo, o outro e as relações implicadas no processo; promove a reflexão sobre temas e experiências; e propicia a integração entre os papéis do eu individual, do eu cuidador e do eu profissional.

O papel da arte é propiciar a interação com a singularidade, na expressão, percepção e ampliação de conhecimento. Neste sentido ela não assume a função de entretenimento, recreação ou simples lazer.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

A Arte Despertar não possui concorrentes, existem organizações congêneres que atuam com arte e cultura no ambiente hospitalar, mas de maneira diversa. Exemplos:
Doutores da Alegria –Assim como a Arte Despertar utilizam profissionais que utilizam a linguagem clown na interação com os pacientes do hospital.
Associação Viva e Deixe Viver –Utiliza a linguagem da Contação de História, porém com uma rede de voluntários capacitados para realizar estas atividades.
Saracura – trabalha a linguagem da música e faz treinamento voltado para as dificuldades e cuidados presentes no ambiente hospitalar.

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

1. Escala a partir da disseminação da metodologia

2. Indicadores que comprovem cientificamente que a Arte Despertar soluciona problemas sociais e financeiros. Hoje temos resultados e avaliações qualitativas e quantitativas, porém sem comprovação cientifica.

3. Re- estruturar a Arte Despertar para que torne-se um negócio social que tenha apelo comercial.

Outro indicativo é o tempo de parceria estabelecida com os hospitais: InCor-15 anos, GRAACC-13 anos, Santa Casa de SP-4 anos, PECP-14 anos. A manutenção das parcerias por longo tempo aponta para validação destes hospitais dos resultados conquistados pela Arte Despertar.
“Acredito que o tratamento não evolui apenas com remédio, é preciso olhar o emocional.”
Dr. Carlos Vicente Serrano Junior, Prof. da Faculdade de Medicina da USP

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

Sim. A cultura enquanto identidade cultural, raízes, memória e história de vida, ao valorizar e promover o respeito à diversidade e à singularidade. A arte enquanto área de conhecimento que integra a subjetividade e a objetividade, ao favorecer o envolvimento e a reflexão, além de despertar potencialidades. São conceitos que podem ser aplicados em qualquer região.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

Nos próximos 1 a 3 anos o impacto da Arte Despertar será mensurado pela disseminação da metodologia por meio da prestação de serviços, ampliando o número de indivíduos desenvolvidos e hospitais parceiros.

Explique sua abordagem filantrópica mais detalhadamente

As fontes de recursos filantrópicos que a Arte Despertar conta atualmente são:

- doações pessoas física e jurídicas (vinculadas ou não a projetos)

- Programa da Secretária de Cultura do estado de São Paulo (incentivo fiscal de ICMS)

- Lei federal de incentivo à cultura (doações para projetos com incentivos fiscais da Lei Rouanet)

Fale mais sobre os itens selecionados; explique como você vai manter o financiamento.

São duas frentes de atuação: na primeira, a redução de projetos incentivados e na segunda, a ampliação da prestação de serviços. Esta proposta busca garantir o alcance da sustentabilidade da Associação. O projeto incentivado tem seus recursos focados apenas na sua proposta, não possibilitando o custeio administrativo. A prestação de serviços, por sua vez, contempla não apenas estes custos, mas também investimentos, tais como, pesquisa, consultorias, manutenção e atualização de equipamentos.
O percentual abaixo será obtido pela construção de propostas de maior porte na área da saúde, o que possibilitará atingir escala geográfica mais abrangente.

Previsão para 2014
• 37% projetos incentivados
• 63% prestação de serviços

Em 2010, A Arte de Nascer foi selecionado no desafio " Young Champions of Maternal Health" promovido pela Ashoka/Maternal Task Force, e eu tive a oportunidade de participar do programa. Durante 09 meses morei no Mali, onde implementei a metodologia do projeto A Arte de Nascer, adptando para a cultura e as necessidades locais.

Queremos saber mais sobre seu momento “A-ha!”. Compartilhe a história sobre onde e quando o(s) fundador(es) viu(viram) o potencial desta solução para transformar o mundo.

Após ter iniciado o projeto em uma comunidade rural em região carente do Nordeste do Brasil, passei a realizar atendimentos médicos dos bebês das mães que participaram da intervenção durante a gravidez. Observando indicadores como aleitamento materno exclusivo, vacinas, desenvolvimento neuro psicomotor, percebi o impacto de uma ideia simples na melhoria da saude materno-infantil da comunidade.

INOVAÇÃO

Nome do seu projeto

A Arte de Nascer (The Art of Being Born)

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

A inovação do projeto tem por base o uso da arte associado às intervenções tradicionais na área de saúde durante o momento da gestação. A educação em saúde, o estímulo ao vínculo materno-infantil, o incentivo a mudança de comportamento na preparação da maternidade e a adoção de hábitos saudáveis durante o processo do gestar e com o cuidado do recem nascido são trabalhados em um programa de encontros com as gestantes reforçados com arteterapia, como canções de ninar , poesias, trabalhos manuais, cinema, etc, resultando em mães e crianças mais saudáveis nas comunidades. A arte, tem se mostrado poderosa ferramenta no vínculo entre mãe e bebe nas gestações indesejadas, no empoderamento da mulher e da comunidade e como estímulo no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor das crianças.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

Diversas iniciativas de prevenção e educação em saúde falham em obter as esperadas mudanças de comportamento, para que aconteça a adoção de práticas saudáveis e a melhoria nas condições de saúde de uma população. O uso da arte associado à educação em saúde, ao estímulo a mudança interior-pessoal para a maternidade ( e paternidade) , à construção de vinculos e o acoplamento de valores para a melhoria da comunidade, resultam na formação de saúde e desenvolvimento de uma localidade. Noções de responsabilidade social, voluntariado, cooperativismo, valores morais e cuidado e proteção com as mulheres e crianças são ensinados em meio aos encontros de formaçao de saúde em gestantes.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

A metodologia do projeto está disponível para ser replicado em diferentes localidades, por setores públicos ou pprivados, com a ajuda de voluntariado e responsabilidade social.O projeto necessita de ambiente operacional capaz de inspirar pessoas e/ou organizaçãos, de fornecer estímulo e treinamento para a adoção do projeto, suporte e consultoria durante fase de implementação e pessoas engajadas e apaixonadas na construção de um mundo melhor.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

O projeto tem o potencial de se adaptar à realidade em que vai ser ou está sendo realizado. Intervir na prevenção de doenças ou problemas inerentes naquela comunidade, estimular melhorias benéficas a nível coletivo, conscientizar a comunidade sobre responsabilidade social, além de adaptações no programa de educação em saúde materna-infantil de acordo com os novos conhecimentos científicos.

Por favor, especifique:

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

O projeto consiste em um programa para ser replicado durante a gestação em diferentes localidades, principalmente nas comunidades mais carentes. Reune educação em saúde, arteterapia, e valorização da mulher como centro do processo reprodutivo, estimulando a mudança individual, a incorporação de valores morais, e a adoção de práticas saudáveis. O programa pode ser adotado por voluntários da própria comunidade, com propagação das idéias de responsabilidade social, cooperativismo e proteção das mulheres e crianças. As mulheres aprendem sobre si mesmas, cuidados na gestação, como planejar as próximas, parto e cuidados com o recem nascido, além da promoção do vinculo-materno infantil e estimulo neuropscicomotor através de tecnicas artísticas.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

O programa visa gerar crianças mais saudáveis, protegidas e seguras no ambiente em que vivem, contribuindo na redução da morbi-mortalidade materna e infantil, e o desenvolvimento a longo prazo da comunidade. Objetiva a adoção de práticas que levam à prevenção de doenças a nível individual e coletivo, o fortalecimento do vínculo entre mãe e bebê, e o suporte psicológico durante o período da gestação.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

O programa pode ser replicado em diferentes locais, através de igrejas, ONGs, centros comunitários, instituições de saúde, etc por trabalhadores voluntários ou das instituições que desenvolvem o projeto. A metodologia é encontrada em um livro publicado em 2010 (A arte de nascer-12 encontros para formação de saúde em gestantes) que encontra-se disponível no site do projeto. A organização oferece capacitação inicial (não obrigatória) por um valor de 1200 reais para o grupo que desejar aprofundamento e treinamento.

Quem são seus clientes?

Os clientes consistem naqueles que compôem organizações governamentais ou não, que realizam trabalhos sociais, com a comunidade, e iniciam ou estruturam o programa " A Arte de Nascer".

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

Palestras associadas à apresentação poético-musical que divulgam os benefícios deste tipo de intervençao, em universidades, centros de saúdes, igrejas, organizações não governamentais, etc; Livros (" A arte de nascer- 12 encontros para formação de saúde em gestantes " e " A arte de nascer- para mães e bebês") que disseminam a idéia e o estímulo em diferentes regiões do Brasil; divulgação na mídia (entrevistas TV e jornais, blogs, redes sociais, etc); viagens, estágios e cursos, a nível nacional e internacional que possibilite parcerias e/ou aprendizado na área.

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

Emprego em hospital público como infectologista na cidade de Natal/RN; coordenação e atividades voluntárias em grupos de gestantes nas cidades de Macaíba e Extremoz-RN; Atuação como infectologista durante a gestação para prevenir doenças de transmissão vertical, realizando atendimentos e pesquisa na área; Atividade voluntária junto ao grupo Auta de Luz que realiza apresentações culturais em escolas e outras instituições no RN, visando a difusão das artes e cultura norte rio grandense; Voluntária da associação de Distrofia Muscular do RN, promovendo tividades sociais e de lazer com as crianças portadoras de necessidades especiais.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

Os pares consistem nas organizações que trabalham para a melhoria da saúde materno infantil, que pode representar parcerias e aprimoramento do trabalho que realizamos. Como obstáculos, as dificuldades encontradas hoje pelo sistema público de saúde no estado, como falta de leitos obstetricos, baixa qualidade de pre-natal, peregrinaçao durante o momento do trabalho de parto por um leito hospitalar, superlotação em hospitais, dificuldade na realização de exames essenciais, tem contribuido negativamente para a saúde materno e infantil nas regiões mais pobres, o que impede uma assistência digna às mulheres durante a gestação.

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

Atualmente, a nível organizacional, a falta de registro e estruturação da organizaçao, prejudica a captação de recursos e parcerias financeiras com o setor privado. Com todos os trabalhadores voluntários, há pouco tempo disponível para realização de certas atividades que são imprescíndiveis para o crescimento do trabalho realizado.
A nível social, o fato da preferencia por soluções intervencionistas, ao invés de prevenção, e a falta de visão da arte como recurso terapêutico também constitui barreiras a ser vencidas.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

Estruturação da organização--> parcerias financeiras com instituições públicas e privadas--> possibilidade de expansão/divulgação do programa---> recursos humanos, publicação de novos livros, desenvolvimento de sede de treinamento de novos grupos, abertura de novas células, parcerias regionais/internancionais.

Em quais dimensões de crescimento você atualmente está focando para sua inovação? [selecione todas que se aplicam]

Nova(s) região(ões).

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

O fato de ser uma idéia simples, facilmente replicada, de baixo custo e uma solução criativa com impacto na morbimortalidade materna e infantil. A possibilidade de usar trabalhadores voluntários, também se constitui ponto favorácel ao crescimento.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

Abertura de novas células em outras regiões, beneficiando mais pessoas e melhorando a saúde materna e infantil.
Desenvolvimento de novas possibilidades de sustentabilidade, que permita crescimento e fortalecimento em nível institucional;
Tradução e publicação de livros e trabalhos poéticos-musicais, difundindo a importancia do momento gestacional e a arte terapia.

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

Desenvolvimento de plano de negócios que vise sustentabilidade--- 1 ano; possibilidade de estruturação da organização--2 anos; novas parcerias e abertura de novas células a nível regional e global--1 ano; construção de centro de treinamento A arte de Nascer---5 anos.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

Aumento de informações e adoção de práticas que promovem a saúde durante a gestação e a primeira infância; maior número de partos naturais; reforço do vínculo materno infantil; valorização pela comunidade da saúde materna e infantil; abandono pelas mulheres de hábitos como uso de drogas ilícitas, alcool e tabaco; valorização da familía, e da educação das crianças com base no exemplo e valores morais.

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

Além de alguns indicadores de saúde, como número maior número de consultas durante o pre-natal, prática de atividade física, mudanças na alimentaçao, número de partos naturais, tempo de aleitamento materno exclusivo, desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor dos bebês, notamos por experiencia pessoal as mudanças que acontecem em nível individual e na comunidade após a adoção do projeto.

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

Sim, e esta afirmação pôde ser comprovada pela adaptação do programa no Mali, Africa, que apresenta grandes diferencas a níveis sociais, políticos, culturais e religiosos do Brasil. A experiencia mostrou a capacidade que o programa tem de ser adaptado a diferentes culturas e situações, sendo capaz de modificar condiçoes e comportamentos de saúde com mudanças simples e de baixo custo. O projeto após ser replicado com um grupo piloto, foi experimentado para ser replicado a nível nacional, em diferentes regiões do Mali.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

Estruturar e registrar a organização; escrever e publicar novo livro; adaptar o projeto para ser replicado em outros países (India/EUA; firmar parcerias para desenvolvimento de novas células no Brasil; Monitorar e fortalecer as células já inauguradas; encontrar soluções que possibilitem a sustentabilidade.

Idéia

Resumo: Qual problema específico é que o seu projeto tenta resolver?

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.

Missão: O que o seu projeto faz?

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.

O Modelo: Demonstre através de um exemplo específico como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas atividades primárias

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.

The Community: Define your community, local or international, that you will work on behalf of. What population is affected? Are there other organizations working in this space?

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.

História: O que inspirou o seu empreendimento? Por quê?

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

What is your long-term vision for your Venture?

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.

Metas

O que você quer realizar em seu primeiro ano?

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.

As inscrições vencedoras apresentam um plano sólido sobre como vão alcançar e acompanhar o crescimento do projeto. Identifique as metas de seis meses para aumentar seu impacto.

My milestone will be to raise over 10,000 dollars in fundraising

Identifique as três maiores atividades que você terá de completar para obter a meta estabelecida para os seis (6) meses

Atividade 1

Improve the supplies, classrooms, and technology of local schools for children with Autism

Atividade 2

Gain a wide population of volunteers

Atividade 3

Find other difference makers in the community who are willing to advertise my venture.

Agora pense grande! Identifique qual seria sua meta de impacto para 12 meses

Spread my venture outside of my area into other regions of Florida

Identifique as três maiores atividades que você terá de completar para obter a meta estabelecida para os doze (12) meses

Atividade 1

Find major music personalities that are willing to help in a benefit concert

Atividade 2

Assist in the building of a new school for children with Autism

Atividade 3

Prepare to spread my venture nationally

Impacto

leia mais↑ ocultar↑ ocultar

Como é que vai definir o sucesso no curto prazo (1-12 meses)?

By spreading the word of my venture throughout the State in order to prepare for a longer more difficult phase in which I will expand my venture nationally

In the long-term (1 year?)

By gaining recognition on a national level as an organization that positively effects communities around the nation

Como você vai medir o sucesso?

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.

Why?

I believe that money is important, but should not be the critical point of whether something is successful or not.

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!

Exeko is now entering a new and major stage of its development. It is confronted with marketing challenges due to the diversity of its clients, fields of interest and aspiration towards Pan-Canadian deployment (begun). Its networks of sponsors has multiplied tremendously over the last few years and its capacity to communicate a clear message is essential to set up its various development plans (implantation strategies, financing, greater public awareness, positioning on the Market)
Its needs revolve mainly around revising the Exeko brand and signature while maintaining a clear message for all its different target groups.
Exeko’s development has led it to meet partners from all fields. It is seeking to update its image while preserving its dynamic and legitimate work ethics.
Exeko is presently developing a larger audience. Its message must be perfectly clear both to the public as to their participants (4500 people in need )and actors in the field.
Very few organizations such as ours have made it on the market. We intend to continue innovating and creative branding and development tools according to their contemporary image in the spheres of creative and market economy.

What three characteristics or qualities do you prioritize in working relationships/partnerships?

1.

Non-biased and complimentary dialogue respecting individual skills

2.

Creativity and Communication

3.

Humane exchange above all, according to Exeko value

Overall

Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.

Yes, however Exeko has not called upon consultants to this effect. Exeko’s branding has been established internally by its team, stemming from the Arts, Engineering, Marketing and Commerce until now.
On the other hand, Exeko is presently working with consultants as to the creation of SWOT, Pan-Canadian Development Strategy, IT, economic, social, cognitive and inclusive impact evaluation of its different projects and is therefore very familiar with the former.

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

Up to now, Exeko has touched over 4500 social outcasts via its projects and programs essentially in Quebec. 1500 of them are dysfunctional youth, over 1 000 homeless Aboriginal youth, over 600 First Nations children and families on reserves and over 200 professional and emerging Artists. An additional 3200 visitors have attended Exeko’s last 3 exhibitions.
Exeko has also trained a dozen First Nations mediators on reserves, lent its programs to its partners, trained a dozen mediators who share their strategies with its field partners (over 100 since the creation of Exeko), offered its first professional steps to Intellectually Challenged Artists, allowed for employment and lodging thanks to its programs.

It also means developing even larger potential amongst its network of greater public donors. In this manner, Exeko shall be perfectly equipped to meet the markets of Quebec and Canada with confidence and leadership, and take a leading stand in addressing the needs of thousands of social outcasts each year.

Gallerista

While many businesses exist in neo-classical logics of supply and demand, artwork holds a preternatural course throughout its “commodified” lifespan. Because artwork to be sold, traded or gifted holds firstly a cultural value, an inherent sometimes inexplicable value, the actual sale takes place in sociologically charged spaces, between artists, gallerists (if represented) and collectors. But what happens to art online?

What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.

While many businesses exist in neo-classical logics of supply and demand, artwork holds a preternatural course throughout its “commodified” lifespan. Because artwork to be sold, traded or gifted holds firstly a cultural value, an inherent sometimes inexplicable value, the actual sale takes place in sociologically charged spaces, between artists, gallerists (if represented) and collectors. But what happens to art online?

Digitally adapting to an untraditional, multi-faceted market, Gallerista explores a new channel for artists and audiences to connect. Creating an online space dedicated to exhibiting artists, selling work in a respectful manner and driving informed consumership, Gallerista aims to promote the ideals of collectorship, reframing the ways in which we purchase art online.

What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?

At Gallerista, our top three priorities for the next year include, but are not limited to:

-Provide practicing artists with a user-friendly online platform within which they may develop new audiences, sell work directly to patrons and discover colleagues within their medium.

-Promote the ideals of collectorship to novice and seasoned collectors alike by hosting innovative programming and developing partnerships with like-minded organizations, as well as arts-conscious businesses.

-Facilitate a strategic one-year plan so as to set measurable outcomes and goals in order to remain focused upon our mission and ensure sustainability for the future.

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!

Gallerista seeks financial and peer-guided assistance to facilitate a SWOT Analysis to determine its strengths and weaknesses, informing and shaping the goals we would commit to in a written strategic plan. Working side by side with a professional independent contractor, or team devised through Serve2Gether, Gallerista will look at its surrounding environment, data (both online and in real-time), and feedback, thereby determining the actions appropriate for its sustainability.

With a SWOT Analysis administered, and with help from advisors through Serve2Gether, Gallerista will be in a strengthened position to create a strategic planning document, guiding goals that can be procured through the report. This essential itemized document will serve as a compass to steer the business as it gathers momentum, expanding in participant artists as well as patrons. By creating a written response to the findings of the SWOT Analysis, Gallerista can individualize measurable outcomes to ascertain successes and mitigate challenges throughout this period of growth.

Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.

Gallerista seeks the support of Serve2Gether to help shape the infrastructure of the business as a whole. Working side by side with consultants, Gallerista will work to shape prioritized objectives, measurable goals and develop a strategic plan to ensure its sustainability. Gallerista is interested in leveraging this opportunity to include partners across the citizen, municipal and private sectors, allowing for a robust discussion on how best to serve independent artists and creatives within the economy. We're not interested in simply building a business, but a more visible market.

Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.

At this time, we have yet to seek outside professional help for creating a strategic plan. However, by creating our own business plan, Gallerista has laid the groundwork for how it currently operates and what our goals are, keeping our vision in front of us at all times.

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

Gallerista has received interest from artists as well administrators both within and outside of the traditional gallery system for its focus on collectorship and informed consumership. Launching in November 2012, the site has already been revamped to include the secure purchase of artwork via credit card. This involved a reconfiguring of company culture as the business was started as a search engine for artists, with the intention of selling work through private studio-visit appointment setting. We are now currently adding artists to the site, highlighting artists and their work through Social Media, and are beginning to reach out (and be contacted!) for strategic partnerships with like minded organizations and arts conscious businesses.

What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?

By receiving professional support from American Express, Gallerista will not only plan for its future, but also be able to possibly avoid some of the pitfalls that occur in any small business venture. By having a partner as well-versed in business infrastructures as American Express, Gallerista will be better prepared for the challenges which face businesses as they seek to build audiences, promote services and invest back in their community. Chicago is only our proving ground. Our goal at Gallerista is to be able to facilitate the solutions we work on here in other cultural hubs throughout the United States. By investing in Gallerista at this crucial time, American Express will be making long-term investments within visual arts commerce for what we hope are generations to come.

Resumo: Qual problema específico é que o seu projeto tenta resolver?

Our Venture addresses the lack of interest/availability music education in schools. According to DoSomething, a 2009 report done by New York City reports that only 33% of students take music classes. Out of 160 middle schools in Brooklyn, 26% of schools don't even offer music education! According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, school budget crunches have been a trend over the past couple years and span the entire nation. The main reason why arts programs are being cut is because of the budget deficit. Thus, there'll be more and more students in need of music encouragement.

Missão: O que o seu projeto faz?

We will stop clicking incessantly on the pause button, and press play! Through our program, we will open the eyes and senses with vivid music, and illustrate the various connections, which will be directed towards a segmented market.

O Modelo: Demonstre através de um exemplo específico como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas atividades primárias

Imagine this: You have just come home from school, and you plop your backpack in front of the computer. You boot up your computer, log into your account, and click on the first link in your bookmarks. The page starts to load - a jumble of interesting, vibrantly presented links. There are stacks of interesting music and cooking articles to the right. There are discussions to join in, and your teammate has just asked you, "What's up?" Play On! will be mainly constructing a networking model. We want our costumers to feel good! Thus, we will arrange a network of support in a time where music recognition is falling. Play On! could also incorporate a social networking spin to it. Moreover, Play On! will help members discover how the world is interwoven. Cooking and music are two topics that are not often linked together. will explore this angle to make the subject of music sound more lively. We will introduce apps, articles, and discussion questions. Our primary activities are networking and nurturing a love for music. We would also love to engage in many conversations. This is a place where everyone can share ideas and experiences. Play On! is a family, and everyone is welcome.

The Community: Define your community, local or international, that you will work on behalf of. What population is affected? Are there other organizations working in this space?

Our group will be working in our local community. In the community today, there are many select ensembles - orchestras, bands and choirs. However, they all appeal to the experienced music student. Take, for example, the Western Connecticut Youth Orchestra. It has an audition process, and promotes music by having everyone play pieces. However, what happens to the person who is interested in music, and wants to go further? They could get a private tutor, but there is no organization. This is where Play On! comes in. Also, we recruit students with culinary experience who are interested in music.

História: O que inspirou o seu empreendimento? Por quê?

When the local music programs were about to be cut from my school, I was irritated. The news was first announced by my Orchestra teacher. Emotion sang in his arguments, and I found myself getting more and more annoyed. Our school had already cut out one year of Orchestra - and now it was going to limit it further? I pitied the fourth graders who were robbed of a chance. My brother had been eagerly anticipating fourth-grade Orchestra, and playing. Now, his dream would be cut short. I remember it was in fourth grade that I truly fell in love with orchestra. Fourth grade was one of the happiest in my grade school career, because I was learning with people who really loved music and orchestra; I wanted my little brother to experience the same.

What is your long-term vision for your Venture?

My long term vision for my Venture is a forum with discussion questions and assignments - the teams will share experiences and draw conclusions on these two topics. The forum will also have various articles and videos for people to reflect on. A website will be constructed with a list of products.

Do you own an Apple device? I bet you do! In a 2012 NBC article, it was shown that half of America's households own at least one Apple device. The market for apps is huge; Play On! will design games with music and cooking in them. We will sell these for $4.99, and promote using periodic discounts.

Metas

O que você quer realizar em seu primeiro ano?

We would like to recruit members and establish 10 teams of two. Also, we would like to have people in my town to be familiar with this concept. This can be accomplished with advertising. We would like to have the district's music teachers know of this project, and at the very least, promote it. They can even as far as to be a member. Money would not be as big of an issue, as this was supposed to be a nonprofit organization. However, by the end of the first year, we want to have a way to secure revenue funds. This might be in the form of an e-book collaboration, or a real book. But, we will definitely make a series of apps, for $4.99, that will have music and cooking in one game. Our goal is to have the first batch out for the group to try.

Como é que vai definir o sucesso no curto prazo (1-12 meses)?

Play On! will define success by the number of people who have joined and have posted at least once a week, which would determine interest in the idea. We will also define success based upon our participant's feedback. We can give out monthly surveys to evaluate our business model. The questions will range from the team, to the discussions, to the materials and assignments. Our aim is to create a community, and we want to make sure that happens.

In the long-term (1 year?)

Play On! will start to define success by the amount of new members we get, as well as how much revenue we generate. The more new members we get, the faster word is spreading. It tells us that idea is out there! Moreover, we hope to have some source of revenue drafted by the end of the first year, so we can start to benefit from those sales. The profits from these sales can go towards paying guest speakers and hosting bigger, splashier music events.

Como você vai medir o sucesso?

We will measure success by how many positive reviews we get. Play On! is all about costumer satisfaction. If the music student doesn't like this program, then they're not going to benefit it. This, in turn, will detract from our mission, which is to nurture the love of music in the participants. Every month, Play On! will release a survey. Another format we could stream the surveys in is to send out SurveyMonkeys. They will be short answer or multiple choice questions, and will not remain anonymous. That way, our Venture can get a truthful assessment of our plans. We can collect each participant's e-mail address as part of the sign-up process, and then send them monthly newsletters that will garner more publicity to the site. Moreover, we will measure success by how much new, interesting material we can get. For example, if we can secure the help of a prominent musician, either to be part of the Venture or just be a guest speaker, then our Venture will be doing very well. This support means that we are doing something right; people actually have heard of it, and know what it's about. Furthermore, they are interested in it, and like the idea enough to volunteer some time to contribute to it. This stamp of approval will also boost advertising - like how famous athletes and celebrities often endorse products. However, this other way of measuring success will no doubt come later, as we have to build up our Venture first.

Why?

Our Venture is all about community and piquing people's interest in music!

Changing Worlds is an educational arts nonprofit organization whose mission is to foster inclusive communities through oral history, writing and art programs that improve student learning, affirm identity and enhance cross-cultural understanding.

Each year, our combined school-based, teacher professional development, traveling exhibits and community outreach programs engage more than 14,000 participants in the Chicago area; 80% of the families we serve are from low-income households and 84% are of African American and Latino backgrounds.

Our innovative approach integrates culture, family and community histories with writing and the arts to help participants explore their own backgrounds, promote peace and learn about others while strengthening their academic and arts learning skills.

What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?

Changing Worlds’ top three organizational priorities in the next year are as follows:

1. Strengthen and expand our earned revenue structure.
2. Explore new strategies to incorporate technology into our school and community-based programs.
3. Design and implement new data management systems.

Peer Benchmarking Analysis

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!

In Chicago, 54 elementary and high schools are on track to shutter their doors in the fall. Displaced students will be transferred to neighboring schools, located in the city’s most high crime areas, where youth maybe at risk of increased exposure to violence.

Changing Worlds has been preparing to address a rapidly growing demand for services that build inclusive communities. In 2012 we increased our partnerships by 100%, but had to turn away 70% of schools that requested our support because we did not have the necessary unrestricted financial resources.

Support from American Express will help bolster our ability to reach schools with the greatest need for our programs, engaging students in experiences that can impact social emotional learning, academic achievement, creativity and cultural awareness.

Your support will drive enhancements to our earned revenue structure, as we seek to learn best practices and gain experience in conducting market analysis, developing messaging strategies, creating market profiles and establishing performance measures. This will lead us to balance our dependence on grants and individual contributions and more effectively focus on our mission.

What three characteristics or qualities do you prioritize in working relationships/partnerships?

1.

Dedicating the necessary time and resources to ensure the collaborators can achieve its mutual goals.

2.

Fostering an environment where all partners are respected and valued for their contributions.

3.

Ensuring that all partners are committed to achieving the agreed upon goals and outcomes.

Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.

Support from American Express will focus on developing strategies for new market research and customer acquisition in connection with Changing Worlds’ earned revenue products and programs. These organizational areas include our traveling exhibit, greeting cards, an activity resource guide for teachers and additional programs. The resources and expertise from American Express will be used to help develop strategies to identify new customers that are located beyond Changing Worlds’ regional network in the Chicago area.

Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.

Changing Worlds is in the start-up phase of developing our earned revenue structure. In 2012, the foundation of this area was developed and included defining staff roles, developing strategies and reviewing our fee-for-service products. The area is entirely staff-driven.

While Changing Worlds has not previously worked with a marketing consultant, we have a history of partnering with professionals on projects that include programs, strategic planning and technology planning. Recently, we worked with a communications agency, which provided design services for our annual report.

2.

Develop sales, marketing and communication strategies that can be maintained by Changing Worlds.

3.

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

In 2012, Changing Worlds restructured its development department to transition a team member into a new role to oversee and formalize an earned revenue structure of our programs. The focus was to create standard practices, policies and profit margin scales for programs that include traveling exhibits, in-school and after-school programs, community outreach workshops and products such as greeting cards and an activity resource guide for teachers.

With nine months into the fiscal year, this change led to a 131% increase in earned income compared to the year prior. This directly contributed to enabling us to allocate the necessary resources to support some of Chicago’s most underserved schools, and reach our goal to double our school partners by 100%.

What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?

To build on past success, Changing Worlds will leverage support from American Express to strengthen our portfolio of fee-for-service programs and products, helping us to maximize earned revenue efforts and diversify our funding sources. We see the partnership informing our efficiency in learning about the needs and desires of potential customers and developing tailored approaches that introduce our programs and products as solutions that address their needs. We also seek to improve our efficiency in cultivating new partners around the country, while providing our staff with supportive structures that can increase productivity.

Co-creating this framework will serve as a valuable training opportunity for our team, which can be leveraged in areas such as donor relations and communications.

First Nations Studies Exploratory

To use digital marketing to grow the program, offer educational tools and serve as a platform to showcase students learning.

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

The impact of the program has been received by the students, parents/guardians, other educators and school districts positively. I was asked to speak at an educator’s conference and other districts were interested in how to start up a program such as this one and interested in lesson plans which is when I realized the area of opportunity and direction the program needs to focus on. The social impact of the project/program has resulted in creating students who are able to be more culturally sensitive and appreciative of the diversity of Canadian Aboriginals.

What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?

The future impact after receiving the professional support from American Express will be realizing growth within the school by offering a program such as this one to grade 8s, to have a website that serves as a platform to showcase students learning and projects, to have a user friendly website that serves as a communication tool, to have a website that has lesson plans available for other educators, to have a website that has useful links for learning tools such as Kurzweil, to have a teacher who is able to help others with creating their own websites and programs(shared learning). This project would be modern, diverse, fun, hands on, and a great tool for communication.

We Are All Connected: Quality Leather Goods Made from Ethical Leather

Most garments and accessories are made of leather that is tanned using toxic chemicals (mostly in India and China), which is destroying the watersheds of the areas and causing severe negative health outcomes for those who live within the vicinity. ATHENA Atelier provides an alternative to consumers who want to own quality leather goods and who wish to be environmentally and socially responsible. We use ancient, natural, non-toxic tanning methods so our customers don't have to sacrifice the environment to be a style-setter.

We Are All Connected: Quality Leather Goods Made from Ethical Leather

Selecione o estágio que melhor se aplica à solução

Inicial (um piloto que começou recentemente)

What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.

Most garments and accessories are made of leather that is tanned using toxic chemicals (mostly in India and China), which is destroying the watersheds of the areas and causing severe negative health outcomes for those who live within the vicinity. ATHENA Atelier provides an alternative to consumers who want to own quality leather goods and who wish to be environmentally and socially responsible. We use ancient, natural, non-toxic tanning methods so our customers don't have to sacrifice the environment to be a style-setter. We stimulate local place-based economies in diverse indigenous nations through our sourcing and local manufacturing. At our core, we acknowledge that we are all connected: earth, animals, and people, and we provide a platform for respectful and beneficial relations.

What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?

1) Solidify our customer base. We intend to reach an international market, through wholesaling to select boutiques in metropolitan cities, and through direct online sales via our website.
2) Increase production. We wish to have consistent manufacturing that will keep up with global demand.
3) Develop a growth plan. Currently we are in the start-up phase, and a demand for our product has been demonstrated. We will begin with limited wholesaling, but intend to expand in the next 5 years to having more international boutiques.

Need #1

Consumer/Audience Acquisition

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!

We are a new consumer goods company (leather accessories, jewellery), and we have developed a moderate clientele in our hometown (Vancouver, BC); however, if we are to expand as planned, we will need to develop our international client base. Cities such as New York, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Berlin and Paris have been identified as promising markets for our upscale artistically-inspired product. High-end materials, careful craftsmanship, and artful design place us in the luxury category. Furthermore, our product offers a significant advantage: we only use ethically-sourced, naturally tanned leather. While both the luxury and green markets are strong, we need to identify customers who belong to both categories. We need to clarify our message to communicate our brand's merits, and choose the appropriate medium to distribute this information. As we establish a growing customer base, we will need to adapt and increase our manufacturing processes.

What three characteristics or qualities do you prioritize in working relationships/partnerships?

1.

Problem-solving orientation and a positive attitude

2.

High skill level and consistency

3.

Respect, honesty, and dedication.

Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.

Support will be focused on our organization as a whole, primarily in structuring for growth and in identifying customer acquisition and appropriate online marketing strategies. With additional markets, we will need to have a solid plan for scaling-up our sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution processes. Naturally, staffing demands will increase, as well as legal implications. We would benefit from the input of a trained professional who has the big picture foresight to anticipate problems we might face, and contribute to our pool of solutions that will benefit us.

Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.

I have never worked with paid consultants, but I do have various business mentors. I meet with one of my mentors weekly, and since he owns an international footwear company he is able to provide sound advice when needed. However, he is not in the high-end market, which is distinct from the entry-market for consumer goods.
Additionally, I have attended a Social Venture Institute conference, where I had the good fortune to receive a few peer-to-peer mentoring consultations. I met with one Operations expert, and one Branding specialist.

Rank your three intended outcomes of this project:

1.

Raise awareness of dangers of current leather tanning techniques and offer an ethical alternative

2.

Provide a desirable product that is ethical from sourcing to manufacturing and satisfies customer's needs

3.

Sustainable development of culturally-relevant economies in rural communities in Canada, elevation of First Nations knowledge

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

I have travelled to an Algonquin Reservation and have tanned leather with experts there, reinvigorating the local interest in natural leather tanning and learning new skills. I have opened a boutique in a trendy Vancouver neighbourhood, where I have sold out of large portions of my inventory in 3 months. I have educated many people about the merits of ethical leather; shockingly, most people have no idea how toxic the leather industry is. ATHENA Atelier has been featured in numerous online publications. I have designed new styles of handbags, and have hired individuals with disclosed disabilities to assist in manufacturing. I have forged strong relationships with prominent First Nations to discuss opening leather tanneries in their territory.

What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?

With additional professional support we will be able to take this company from start-up to growth, with the real potential of changing how leather is produced internationally. Campaigns such as Greenpeace's "Fashion Detox" are forcing major companies (e.g. Zara, Levi's) to alter their sourcing and production to be more eco-friendly; however, no one has tackled leather yet.The European Union is moving towards all cars being 100% recyclable, hence the Chrome-tanned leather will not be appropriate anymore--this is just one of the many avenues for growth. Importantly, this project has the potential to stimulate rural economies and to provide culturally-relevant income to indigenous communities. Furthermore, in doing so, indigenous knowledge, skills, and traditions are respected and celebrated.

The American Teenager Project

Our collaborative portrait-biography process and our interactive "Archive of Adolescence" address the decline of opportunity for youth-led, civic dialogue among diverse constituents vital to sparking activism on social justice issues and to forming alliances across the entrenched and divisive lines of culture, social class, and race . Our process uses technology to enhance authentic face-to-face communication among young people that fosters their empathy for each other and helps them work together across differences in support of building healthier communities.

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!

We have established a strong product which itself has a look and a brand - but the overall organization needs help refining our look/mission/logo/branding etc. and we have three distinct audiences to reach if we are going to be able to fund and expand our programs: 1.) funders! - corporate, individual, foundations 2.) educators and educational institutions and 3.) Teenagers - the primary participants, but not the ones who have the capacity to fund the program - but their support of the program will be the success funders are looking for. So how do we choose the right look and messaging so that all three groups are inspired to come on board!

What three characteristics or qualities do you prioritize in working relationships/partnerships?

Success connecting young people from multiple lncome, geographic and ethnic backgrounds to each other through programs in Massachusetts, Cincinnati, New York, and Bay Area California. Building a Core group of youth journalists from five high schools in our pilot who express that the program is unique in its ability to create community among this group and give them authentic opportunity to make a difference in their neighborhoods. Have provided 100 young people with training so far. Secured major funding and exhibition venue for our pilot programming.

What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?

Our goal for mid 2014 is to have >20 Teacher Ambassadors running The American Teenager Project in their home communities spanning at least 5 states - these Ambassadors will work directly with 20 - 100 students each and their exhibitions will reach 400 - 1000. Our Web Archive and Mobile App will go live by January 2014 and will allow for us to significantly expand the reach of our programs in 2015. Our traveling exhibition will go to 10 sites in 2014 and at least that many in 2015 - our gallery will travel to multiple states serving a range of demographics. With the support of American Express we will be able to raise the money to facilitate these expansions process and create our permanent brand/logo/messaging that will allow for solid/appropriate/effective messaging moving forward.

Sweet Readers

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.

Peer Benchmarking Analysis

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!

We need to utilize social media to help us grow our community of kids; raise awareness for what we're doing (specifically with potential funders, partners and media) and communicate most effectively with our various stakeholders (museums, schools, care centers, families with both aging adults and middle school - college age kids). We aim to do this through an effective Facebook page, more effective twitter and whatever other social media is appropriate - we need to learn this!

What three characteristics or qualities do you prioritize in working relationships/partnerships?

1.

Shared interest in empowering and transforming people with AD and/or our youth.

2.

Commitment to achieving excellence with positive thinking, flexibility, innovation and hard work.

3.

Working with integrity: partners who keep their word and follow through.

Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.

We're a growing community and in order to most effectively utilize social media and evaluations to help us expand and deepen our impact, we'd like the support from American Express to understand and start with a focus on the organization as a whole.

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! We have advisors, but have not hired any outside consultants.

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

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.

I'm currently working as an Operational Excellence Expert at GSK Biopharmaceuticals, and I'm a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.

O que faz de você um intraempreendedor? Quais são as habilidades, capacidades e características pessoais que fazem de você um intraempreendedor?

I have a deep belief that that the world can be better place for those who are inflicted with medical conditions - and that I can be part of the solution in a small way. Specifically, I feel that there is a need to connect the community of which I'm a part (the pharma/biopharma community) to those for which we make our products.
I draw on an extended network of people both internal and external to GSK for ideas, inspiration, and support. They share this same belief, and are also the kind of people who know

Ideia (você está para lançar)

A Necessidade: Qual problema social ou ambiental você está tentando resolver?

Today, the further upstream of the supply chain we sit within GSK, the smaller the connection to our patients we have. By having limited visibility of our patients, we not only lose sight of their needs and desires, we also
a. remain uneducated / uninformed about the everyday challenges and triumphs of our patients
b. lose sight of what our true purpose is in this area of our lives.
c. don't have the opportunity to build trust with our patients, beyond just letting our products speak for themselves.
This is a significant undesirable effect that does not adequately prepare our company for a future in which each of us can directly see the impact that our specific job function, within the context of our supply chain, has on our patients.

A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja específico!

A societal shift within GSK needs to occur, where 'Focus on the Patient' should change from being a vision to being a tangible thing. By having an innovative and fun way to connect with the patient, we can start to link our every day tasks and projects to the 'big picture'.
My aim is to bring GSK's employees and patients together with a unique approach - photography. This is the means to exhibit the dignity of our patients, and the realities they face every day living with the disease they have been diagnosed with. It is also a way to literally bring visibility of our patients to the people who work across our supply chain.
Specifically, my proposal is to give a group of patients a camera for a few months, and ask them to document their lives.
Scope of project:
Duration: 3 months of documenting on camera
Patient group: Type 1/Type 2 Diabetes
Location: Philadelphia and surrounding areas.
GSK Employees directly involved: R&D/GMS Biopharmaceuticals in Upper Merion GSK

A Solução: Por que esta solução é inovadora para a sua empresa e indústria?

To my knowledge, we have yet to launch a project like this within GSK that brings our employees closer to our patients in a way that is visual, emotional, and close to home.
I also believe that the industry as a whole can adopt this model - I'm focusing on Diabetes, since the product we are seeking approval for next year treats this disease. However, the same can be done for any person living with any disease.

O Modelo: Nos mostre um exemplo específico de como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas principais atividades.

- Open to contestants with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. They do not need to currently be taking any GSK medications.
- Contest open from the time period of 3 months.
- Judged by a panel of photographers (mix of people who work at GSK and external) and announce winners.
- Semi-finalists will get to showcase their work at GSK Biopharm's internal tiered meetings or staff meetings.
- Finalists - will get to showcase 1 of their favorite photos at an event. (such as the annual Step Out Philly Walk for Diabetes in October),
- Overall contest winner - will get to showcase 2-5 photos at an event (such as the annual Step Out Philly Walk for Diabetes), and will get to speak. Will also get their photographs auctioned off to raise money for Diabetes research. They will also be invited to speak at GSK to employees.
- All others who entered - will have a chance to connect with each other through social media. (Facebook and/or webpage to be created where contest entrants can build a support group - online or even in person), and also get involved with other offshoot opportunities (examples described below).
The idea is that through PDCA, this contest would run annually for patients, w/ continuous improvement.

This format allows for participation from both patient and employee, keeping the patient's life on the forefront of employee's minds and building relationships that help the employee keep the patient at the heart of every decision made at work. It also increases the support network of people living with the disease - thereby strengthening relationships with each other.

O Mercado: Quem são os seus pares e concorrentes? Identificar os outros que também estão trabalhando para solucionar as mesmas necessidades que você e o que você faz de diferente em relação a eles. Quais seriam os desafios impostos por esses concorrentes que impactariam no seu sucesso ou crescimento?

I have done several web searches and I haven't been able to find a similar program within a pharmaceutical corporation such as GSK. The American Diabetes Association offers a place on their webpage for patients to upload photos depicting a 'day in the life of' living with Diabetes. This is done in conjunction with CVS, where a $1 donation will be made by CVS for each photo uploaded.
The challenge this could pose to See Me! would be around redundancy. Diabetes patients who participate in the ADA / CVS photo upload program may not be inclined to participate in something similar on a local level with GSK.
What differentiates my proposal though is that fact that See Me! is not intended to be used to raise charitable funds. Its purpose is to drive connections between patients and employees.

História: Queremos saber mais sobre o momento de descoberta desta solução. Conte-nos um pouco a história sobre onde e quando o(s) fundador(res) vislumbrou(aram) o potencial desta solução para mudar o mundo:

I first got this idea about a month ago when I started to think of ways to bring the focus of our value stream / supply chain on to our customer (our patients). As an amateur photographer, I often scour the internet looking for powerful images from other photographers from which I can draw inspiration, creativity, and knowledge of the world. In doing so, I've often come across powerful images from various photographers, showing the life of people living with various medical conditions. These images are moving; and in just one frame you can see a little snippet of someone else's life, and you instantly wish you could reach out and talk to that person. I wanted to do something similar within our own community, but instead of having professional photographers take pictures of people facing the challenges of living with a disease (in this case, Diabetes), I wanted to put the camera directly into patients hands and go from there.

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

To date, it is still just a proposal - and it has not been implemented yet.

Qual é o impacto previsto nos próximos 1 a 3 anos?

I do not know if there would be any financial impact as a result of my project, however what I do see is there being a cultural shift within GSK (Biopharmaceuticals) in having a tangible way to focus on our patients. I sincerely hope that this project will inspire other similar projects around GSK that may involve activities other than photography. As a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, the first and foremost principle I've been trained on is identifying value through the eyes of our customers. In 1-3 years I hope having this visibility of our customers (and they having visibility of us), we can fully define what 'value' is to our customers, refine how our company should be positioned for the future, and keep them in the center of every decision we make in the organization.

Quais são as barreiras que podem impedir o sucesso do seu projeto? Como você planeja superá-las?

I see several barriers to this project. A couple that I will list are the following:
- Logistics on carrying this out - resources, funding, time, planning
- Change Management - even if the contest is a success, how will employees respond to having this discussions around our patient? How will they make a personal commitment to focus on our patients?

Qual é o benefício ou valor que você está criando para o seu negócio?

The specific benefit that this project will create is to put the patient at the heart of every decision that is made on the job. This is sometimes an intangible benefit, however it is an important one as it underlies everything we do as a company.

Como você está alavancando recursos internos (fundos, tempo, conhecimento, etc) para apoiar esta iniciativa?

Funds: To be decided
Time: This project will be one that fits into the current ‘Focus on the Patient’ initiative within our company. All projects associated with that are completed by dedicated people who carve our time in their busy schedules, and will be vetted by management before doing so.
Knowledge: For photography skills, there are several hobby photographers within the Biopharmaceutical divisions of GSK who are passionate about keeping the focus on our patients.

A Necessidade: Qual problema social ou ambiental você está tentando resolver?

I am trying to reverse the present negative imbalance in global karma

A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja específico!

Dandelion Dollars promotes the spiritual practice of sending off dandelion seeds of LOVE, JOY, and HOPE into the world using the paper currency system to deliver them to all humanity. All you need is a dollar, a pen, a minute, and a message!

A Solução: Por que esta solução é inovadora para a sua empresa e indústria?

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"

O Modelo: Nos mostre um exemplo específico de como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas principais atividades.

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? :-)

Ideia (você está para lançar)

A Necessidade: Qual problema social ou ambiental você está tentando resolver?

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.

A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja 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.

A Solução: Por que esta solução é inovadora para a sua empresa e indústria?

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.

O Modelo: Nos mostre um exemplo específico de como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas principais atividades.

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.

O Mercado: Quem são os seus pares e concorrentes? Identificar os outros que também estão trabalhando para solucionar as mesmas necessidades que você e o que você faz de diferente em relação a eles. Quais seriam os desafios impostos por esses concorrentes que impactariam no seu sucesso ou crescimento?

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.

You never know how many people’s life will be touched and changed just by attending the open courses.

She currently works as a management consultant at Accenture. She attained a joint Master of International Affairs from Columbia University and Master of Public Administration from the LSE, with a focus in international development.

O que faz de você um intraempreendedor? Quais são as habilidades, capacidades e características pessoais que fazem de você um intraempreendedor?

I currently hold two jobs - a management consultant at Accenture, and a director/founder of Cooking With Mama. I am able to apply my analytical and problem-solving skills from Accenture towards the development and growth of Cooking With Mama. While these organisations have two separate missions, they both utilise the same business planning and problem solving tools.

What makes me an intrapreneur is my ability to apply both my private and public sector knowledge into a social enterprise which straddles both disciplines, my curiosity to pursue the road less travelled to see if I can turn this seed of an idea into a global initiative, and my drive to empower and build confidence for unemployed women through Cooking With Mama.

Inicial (um piloto que começou recentemente)

A Necessidade: Qual problema social ou ambiental você está tentando resolver?

Cooking with Mama aims to empower unemployed and underemployed women, who are incredible home cooks, to reach their highest potential through teaching cooking classes in the community. In today’s economic climate many women are struggling. U.K. statistics show that in 2011, 1.12 million women were unemployed, with the 50-65 age range disproportionately affected. While women’s circumstances vary widely, many have extensive culinary experience gained at home. Cooking with Mama hopes to demonstrate the value of these skills by providing training and opportunities for these women to lead cooking classes in the community.

A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja específico!

The unemployed often struggle to gain the experience needed to re-enter the labour force. For example, women who have focused on raising families may lack professional experience, and those who have lost jobs can find it hard to enter another sector. We offer women who are in these circumstances, and who love to cook, an opportunity to lead a cookery class. We see this as a tool to gain leadership experience, develop communication skills, grow confidence, and begin to build a distinctive CV. By developing their confidence and work-readiness skills, we aim to empower participating women to reach their highest potential.

We also offer an experience boost for those seeking to begin their journey into employment in the food industry. We are developing partnerships with restaurants and caterers with the eventual goal of offering women exit opportunities into the cooking trade.

We also aim to reinvest our profits through microloans to invest in the culinary dreams of our mamas.

A Solução: Por que esta solução é inovadora para a sua empresa e indústria?

Cooking with Mama is the only culinary school of its kind which works with unemployed or underemployed women to lead its cooking classes. Class participants are able to experience a culture through its food by learning our mamas' recipes, which have typically only been passed through family generations. We offers a creative and safe environment to bring the community together through food, develop cultural understanding, and support skills development for unemployed women.

O Modelo: Nos mostre um exemplo específico de como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas principais atividades.

We hosts "Mama Days" as training programs for our participating women every other month and prior to them teaching their own class. Skills development training is focused on confidence, public speaking, budgeting, and time management. We believe these key skills are critical to teaching a cooking class and can be applied in other facets of her life. We work with each Mama to design her menu according to a budget, source the ingredients, structure her class timing, and achieve her personal goals of each class.

Cooking With Mama hosts its 2.5 hour cooking classes in rental kitchens in London. We have held six pilots for both guest classes and corporate events of about 15-20 people each, so far featuring Indian and Brazilian dishes. Mamas demonstrate each dish before they are replicated by class participants. Mamas share not only their cooking, but also share their stories and traditions behind each recipe. Participants are charged for attending classes, and this money is used to partially fund class expenses (kitchen rental, ingredients, etc) and a payment for the mama.

The Mamas who have led our classes say the experience has been helpful in building confidence and allowing them to interact with people they would not have otherwise. They have been able to develop skills through the training and have built a community with other women and individuals in the culinary trade. We are working with other restaurant and catering organisations in London to provide further exit opportunities for these women in the culinary space.

O Mercado: Quem são os seus pares e concorrentes? Identificar os outros que também estão trabalhando para solucionar as mesmas necessidades que você e o que você faz de diferente em relação a eles. Quais seriam os desafios impostos por esses concorrentes que impactariam no seu sucesso ou crescimento?

Cooking with Mama offers an experience like no other cookery school – an opportunity to learn about food preparation and tradition from a woman who has mastered her own culture’s home cooking. While other cookery schools offer classes with trained chefs, we give participants the same cooking skills while also re-creating that special feeling of home cooking, conjuring up nostalgic memories of family gatherings and holidays. It’s the experience that sets us apart. Our competitors are other cooking schools in London - from at-home lessons to professional culinary schools. There are currently no other cooking schools working with unemployed women or untrained chefs. However, if a similar idea arises, our first mover advantage has been set through established relationships in the industry.

História: Queremos saber mais sobre o momento de descoberta desta solução. Conte-nos um pouco a história sobre onde e quando o(s) fundador(res) vislumbrou(aram) o potencial desta solução para mudar o mundo:

Jennifer is a self-proclaimed foodie – she enjoys experiencing new cuisines from around the globe, trying new recipes, and taking cooking classes whenever she’s on holidays in a new city. After she moved from Canada to the UK, she fell sick and wished her mum was around to cook her delicious soups. Except her mum was living on the other side of the world, Jennifer didn’t know the recipe, and she didn’t even know any other mums in London to call upon for cooking help. Then it dawned on her – What if she could learn cooking from someone else’s mum? What if she could learn different types of ethnic recipes and cooking skills from different mums throughout London? And What if she could use food to empower unemployed women and to gain new skills? That’s when Cooking With Mama was born!

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

To date Cooking With Mama has held six cooking classes for a total of 120 participants. Therefore, we have been able to provide 120 individuals with the opportunity to learn a culture through its cooking classes and develop their home cooking skills.

More importantly, these classes were taught by three women. Through our pre- and post-class surveys and discussions, these women have noted an increase in their confidence, public speaking, budgeting, and time management, Over the past four months we have worked with six women through our "Mama Days" (i.e. training and focus groups) to explain our program and provide them with the necessary skills for leading their own cooking class. Our statistics show that we are achieving our impact of providing these women with confidence and work-readiness skills.

Our statistics also prove that this idea can be replicated in other countries. We are currently working on developing chapters in Berlin and New York through interested volunteers.

Qual é o impacto previsto nos próximos 1 a 3 anos?

We at Cooking with Mama are dreaming big. While cookery classes are our core activity, we want to expand our offering and impact, while remaining sustainable. We are keen to begin selling supplementary products at our classes – including spice kits, aprons and cookbooks. Another long-term goal is to set up a fund to provide microloans to our Mamas, so that they can pursue their own culinary dreams, such as to run a stall at a food market, to attend culinary certification classes at a local college, or to develop her own catering service. Another goal is expand globally - we have had interest in expanding the idea in NYC, Berlin, Shanghai and Toronto. We see these ideas ways to remain a sustainable venture, while providing maximum benefit to the women.

Quais são as barreiras que podem impedir o sucesso do seu projeto? Como você planeja superá-las?

As a social enterprise one key barrier to success is understanding how to achieve our social mission while remaining profitable. We are currently addressing this barrier by reviewing our business strategy in understanding how to lower our largest cost (kitchen rentals), increase profits by looking into different customer groups, and applying for grant funding to cover specific costs related to our venture (i.e. fees paid to the women for teaching cooking classes).

Another barrier to success is understanding how to brand and market our venture to the public. Through our pilot phase we know that we have a strong service - now we need to determine a way to communicate our value proposition to our customer base. We are currently working with marketing experts to address this issue.

Qual é o benefício ou valor que você está criando para o seu negócio?

Cooking With Mama has adopted a sustainable business model where class participants pay a fee for each cooking class attended. This money is then reinvested back into the venture - with the majority covering the rental costs of the kitchen space, providing compensation to the mama for leading the cooking class, and covering the raw ingredients. A small portion of this money is then reinvested into the growth of the entire organisation. In the future, we plan to expand our profits through cooking products (i.e. spice kits), recipe books, and catering.

Como você está alavancando recursos internos (fundos, tempo, conhecimento, etc) para apoiar esta iniciativa?

Cooking With Mama is an entirely volunteer-run organisation. It's lead by two directors, Jennifer and Amanda, who are also supported by a volunteer team assisting in areas such as mama recruitment, administration, and event planning.
In addition to its volunteers, the organisation reaches out to its four advisers (through the Emerge Venture Lab) who have experience in social entrepreneurship. It also reaches out to mentors and friends who work/volunteer in food-related industries, social entreprises, and community groups. This has been useful such as receiving tax or legal advice upon company setup, or attending a marketing and branding brainstorm held by marketing professionals in London.
To start, we invested our own funds and also received a £2000 grant to help in the pilot phase,

Detalhe sua resposta, explicando o plano de financiamento e apoio de longo prazo.

Our long term funding strategy is three-fold:
1. We plan to increase our profits through our cooking classes. Having piloted different classes and developed a strong model for our mama training program and cooking class delivery, we are now looking to better cater our classes towards different customer groups - for individual, group and corporate classes. We are currently undergoing strategic planning for our marketing and branding to better communicate our venture and its mission.
2. We plan to develop partnerships with groups such as supermarkets and kitchen spaces to reduce our costs of hosting classes.
3. We are applying for grants to drive our growth. This funding will be used to help test different cooking class ideas, expand class offerings,and develop our mama training programs.

Conte-nos sobre suas parcerias dentro da empresa e externas que são fundamentais para o sucesso do seu projeto.

In addition to its volunteers, advisors and mentors in our internal resources, Cooking With Mama relies on its partnerships with culinary schools and community centres where its rents its kitchen space, relies on other community groups which support womens unemployment to reach out to potential mamas, and relies on its social entreprise community to help spread the word about our venture in their personal networks. This is important to us and word of mouth is our best advert.

Qual apoio interno você obteve para seu projeto? Que tipo de críticas você enfrentou?

Cooking With Mama has received support from two organisations:
1. The Emerge Venture Lab is a 12-month accelerator program which supports new or early stage social entreprises. Through this program we have received training on how to develop our venture from an idea into its current pilot phase. We have also received mentorship through various volunteer advisors from the startup community.
2. The Royal Society of Arts has granted us £2000 to assist with our pilot phase.

O que faz de você um intraempreendedor? Quais são as habilidades, capacidades e características pessoais que fazem de você um intraempreendedor?

First off, I believe in the possibility – and power – of change, and that it is always within our reach. I am committed to dialogue as the only effective and genuine means of bringing about sustainable change, as dialogue implies we will “meet in the middle” and co-exist, even in the face of adversity. I have a deep conviction that change must be organic – come from within, from each individual’s consciousness – in order to withstand the test of time. And I believe change is contagious, when people see the benefit in embracing it. Finally, I have a strong intuition that power and love must be balanced – power without love is authoritative, and love without power is anemic. To bring about effective and long-lasting change, both must be in equilibrium.

A Necessidade: Qual problema social ou ambiental você está tentando resolver?

I try not to see our work as solving a problem. I prefer to see it as an evolutionary challenge. After decades doing business in a vacuum via Cartesian, mechanistic and short-term thinking, we have come to realize that this modus operandi is not sustainable and that whatever progress we seem to be making is clouded by the catastrophic impact business is having on the planet and on the quality of peoples’ lives. Time to shift gears, adopt a more systemic view of business and understand how commerce can create shared value through common agendas where everyone wins. Helping people become sensitive to this moment of reflection (and inflection) and open to new ways of doing business is at the crux of this evolutionary challenge.

A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja específico!

Our solution lies in the magical intersection between purpose and profit, where dialogue reigns and value is shared.

- Find order in chaos – The world is a complex environment, in constant flux. Either create an illusory sense of stability and try to make everything as secure as possible or accept the chaos and find order within it by quickly adapting. Go with the latter.
- Think systemically – No man is an island and the same is even truer for corporations. Time for them to recognize that the ramifications of their actions transcend the marketplace and have a broader, societal component that must not be neglected.
- New “C” – We are citizens before consumers. Understanding this will help companies focus on unmet human needs rather than mere consumer aspirations.
- Dialogue – Identify those that are usually not on your radar but that are impacted by your business. Hear them out. Empathize.
- Share the value – Identify where all stakeholder interests align; win-win opps.

A Solução: Por que esta solução é inovadora para a sua empresa e indústria?

The approach outlined above is somewhat liberating, as it invites us to leave the office and explore the world first-hand. Frameworks and theories are helpful but experiential, transformative learning is more insightful. This approach also requires us to tap into both our right and left brains, mixing reason with intuition. From an industry-perspective, our approach represents a new mental model aimed at helping businesses do well while doing good.

O Modelo: Nos mostre um exemplo específico de como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas principais atividades.

In 2010 Nike asked us to help develop a systemic vision for the brand in Rio de Janeiro in anticipation of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. We engaged in dialogue with artists, community leaders, athletes, social entrepreneurs, musicians and cultural producers to understand their views on the city as well as their needs and interests as citizens (not just consumers). Based on our findings, we advised Nike on a bottom-up approach based on 2 adjacent principles: sport as a catalyst for social transformation and sport as an integrative force among residents of the city (shared value).

Over the past year, a number of initiatives in different neighborhoods were conceived based on this concept, such as: refurbishment of facilities, creation of football training centers, sport competitions, sponsorship of athletes from low income neighborhoods, etc. These activations have had a resounding success and late last year, research conducted by Rio’s main newspaper reported that Nike was the top of mind sports clothing brand among residents of the city. The take-aways from this case are numerous:

__Do more, say less – focus on getting things done, connecting with people and less so on selling yourself.
__Be the Nudge – always encourage people to do things that are essentially good for them.
__Bottom up – start from the bottom, where real change is most necessary, and see your efforts trickle up.
__Empower the mobilizers – give resources to those people that are already moving the masses and making things happen.
__Be an integrative force – bring people together.

O Mercado: Quem são os seus pares e concorrentes? Identificar os outros que também estão trabalhando para solucionar as mesmas necessidades que você e o que você faz de diferente em relação a eles. Quais seriam os desafios impostos por esses concorrentes que impactariam no seu sucesso ou crescimento?

I do not believe in competition in the traditional sense, where a single player is a threat to one’s survival and prosperity. In fact, to the extent that other well-intentioned companies are emerging, wanting to help organizations do better business, we should celebrate, not only because we were the first to bring this discussion to the forefront back in 2006, but especially since there are still too few of us who think differently to serve the entire market. In terms of differentiation, I would highlight our multidisciplinary team, our humanist approach to all that we do, our creative flair given our Brazilian origins as well as our tireless (and non-negotiable) commitment to only engaging in projects that necessarily improve peoples’ lives.

História: Queremos saber mais sobre o momento de descoberta desta solução. Conte-nos um pouco a história sobre onde e quando o(s) fundador(res) vislumbrou(aram) o potencial desta solução para mudar o mundo:

Fortunately, it seems that everyday is an “Aha” moment, in varying degrees, of course. However, one special moment does in fact stand out.

In 2011 we completed a 1-year study for General Motors (GM) on the future of urban mobility, with a focus on developing megacities (cities with more than 10 million inhabitants). We researched renewable fuels, public private partnerships, new technologies and materials, public transport and urban planning. The output of the study was a suite of 32 “better future” scenarios and ironically few, if any, had to do with cars. We were desperately trying to signal to GM that the future of urban mobility went beyond motorized vehicles.

A few months after the project, an employee from GM forwarded us an internal memo from GM’s South American President making reference to this study and stating that it was time for GM to transition from “General Motors” to “General Mobility.”

They got it. They turned the key and never looked back.

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

As a result of our project, a specific Urban Mobility department was created at GM, consisting of reps from all the major regions, where knowledge was pooled and the 32 innovation opportunities we put forth in our study were subjected to feasibility studies. Quantitatively, it is too early to measure the impact, only because this project is about re-engineering GM’s core activities. Qualitatively, however, we can clearly sense a paradigm shift among GM’s leadership, who are much more open to discuss these alternative futures where cars are not the protagonists. The end result of all this will be that GM will soon be better prepared to offer solutions that effectively and sustainably meet people’s mobility needs as opposed to saturating congested streets with expensive, inefficient and oversized machines that are responsible for respiratory illnesses and ozone layer deterioration. We believe GM professionals stand to gain from this as well as citizens all over the world.

Qual é o impacto previsto nos próximos 1 a 3 anos?

In terms of Mandalah as a company, I project our impact along several lines:

- More companies – As we start scaling our business and accumulating a solid track record with organizations of all shapes and sizes, I anticipate that we will manage to engage in more and more relationships with leaders from different organizations.
- More people – As a result of this, more individuals will be impacted by these alternative mental models which we are proposing and as a result, will become the change they want to see in the world.
- More impact – The end result of all this is a world better served by the private sector (and other organizations as well) through solutions that truly improve peoples’ lives.
- More health and happiness – At the end of the day, this is what we’re all after.

Quais são as barreiras que podem impedir o sucesso do seu projeto? Como você planeja superá-las?

Looking forward, the only real barrier that I foresee would come in the form of budget cuts from organizations as a result of a weak economic environment. When things get tough, companies stop investing in innovation, unfortunately. This is somewhat counter-intuitive , in fact: it’s precisely when the going gets rough that you should look to re-invent yourself and do things differently. Since I cannot award pro-bono status to all my clients, I will always run the risk of serving a market with no available cash to invest. Thankfully, I am learning to deal with this now, since markets are lukewarm globally. By keeping my structure lean, I keep my costs low, which allows me to not only pursue more aggressive pricing but attain better margins. It’s about learning to do a lot with a little.

Qual é o benefício ou valor que você está criando para o seu negócio?

For all the different businesses that we service, I feel we are producing an instrument that will help them turn the key and operate successfully in this new environment we are getting acquainted with. Ultimately, the benefit they will reap from continued relevance is strong performance along with a long-lasting legacy. For Mandalah specifically, I feel we are becoming more knowledgeable and conscious to do what we do increasingly better every day.

Como você está alavancando recursos internos (fundos, tempo, conhecimento, etc) para apoiar esta iniciativa?

From Day 1, we have grown organically, re-investing our profits into our company. We have come to understand over time that our best investments are in people (best-in-class professionals with right/left brain versatility), information technology (integrating our offices and optimizing research capabilities), our office space (where we work, brainstorm, create, eat, socialize and rest), and knowledge acquisition (trips, conferences, courses, literature). We have also developed a vast group of thought leaders who we are in touch with and who support us when we need to evolve our business. And finally, we are investing time, money and energy in consolidating our network of 6 offices, with 2 more offices in sight until 2014.

Detalhe sua resposta, explicando o plano de financiamento e apoio de longo prazo.

Since what we are doing is still very new and emerging, it is hard to project where all of this will go in the long term. My intuition tells me that we will be able to continue scaling our business without having to turn to outside investors, since we enjoy respectable margins which we are willing to re-invest. Perhaps this is rooted in a belief that we must be careful on how fast we grow so as to not dilute our value proposition, which is essentially what got us to where we are in the first place. There is also no point growing faster than the market's disposition to engage in the types of disruptive conversations we so enthusiastically put forth. As Bruce Lee says "one must flow like water", and so we plan on letting things fall into place without worrying about getting too big too fast.

Conte-nos sobre suas parcerias dentro da empresa e externas que são fundamentais para o sucesso do seu projeto.

Internally, we all partner up with each other. Everyone gets involved in research, strategy, production and creative work, more or less so depending on nature of project. External relationships include two schools where we teach classes (Escola São Paulo & Fundação Getúlio Vargas), the latter for whom we train a student-led consultancy. We also team up with NGOs and government entities on a project-by-project basis.

Qual apoio interno você obteve para seu projeto? Que tipo de críticas você enfrentou?

For one reason or another, our value proposition resonates quite strongly with people, both inside and outside the company. Perhaps this can be explained through the increasingly popular notion that it’s time to inject new blood, new energy, and more consciousness into the business world. In terms of push-back, I see it merely as a question of timing; we need to appreciate that not everyone is ready to turn the key.

LEADER ABC -Adolescent Broadcasting Community

In sumary, given the solution & model earlier, we need fund support on creating radio studio in schools in other parts of Indonesia as well as running LEADER ABC course for 30x meetings (one academic school year). The 2 schools running now are self-financed by the schools themselves. Kindly watch us: www.youtube.com/carlystiana.
Our market is huge i.e.all over Indonesia and it is extremely important to invest in our next generation's education as they are the future of Indonesia. With the power of media, LEADER ABC aims to hinder youths from both disasters; natural and man-made.

HORNLIGHT

In 2011, there was a drought in the Horn of Africa and disaster, relief response was ramping up. Unfortunately, the narrative, the complexity and the presentation of the issue as well as the position of the people affected by the drought was discouraging. 26 years have passed and the was the same old tired story of Africans as victims that had to be saved. Africans were generally invisible in the dialogue and the presentation of the issues. It was the same old approach that has been seen in the many years past were people needed food and those that could ‘save’ them will.

Selecione o estágio que melhor se aplica à solução

Estabelecido (estágios anteriores completos e com sucesso comprovado)

A Necessidade: Qual problema social ou ambiental você está tentando resolver?

A população da periferia de Curitiba e da Região Metropolitana não tem acesso facilitado a eventos e produtos culturais como shows musicais, peças de teatro, dança e circo, além de exposições. Estas, se encontram apenas no centro de Curitiba, ou nos bairros, mas em horários inacessíveis a maior parte da população de baixa renda. Os artistas iniciantes ou até mesmo os que já estão a um certo tempo na cena artística, não conseguem vender seus serviços pois não tem seu trabalho valorizado, sua arte, assim, o público não os conhece, e os artistas não crescem. Estes são os dois problemas que pretendo resolver.

A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja específico!

A proposta é oferecer eventos culturais de baixo custo e alta qualidade para população da periferia de Curitiba e cidades da Região Metropolitana, e valorizar os artistas para que por sua vez consigam vender sua arte, através da produção dos eventos e assessoria na divulgação e promoção destes artistas.

A Solução: Por que esta solução é inovadora para a sua empresa e indústria?

Até o presente momento, as produtoras que realizam eventos culturais não se preocuparam em apresentar bandas ou artistas novos pois acreditavam que isto não daria lucro. Minha empresa consegue produzir eventos a baixo custo para atender a uma demanda existente que poucos atendem e cria oportunidades de crescimento e geração de renda para vários artistas, que ao seu modo, são empreendedores também.

O Modelo: Nos mostre um exemplo específico de como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas principais atividades.

Nós oferecemos vários eventos que promovem nossos objetivos:
Mostra de Compositores
1 - Os grupos ou artistas pagam um pequeno valor de inscrição para participar do evento.
2 - Os grupos ou artistas participantes tem seus materiais divulgados nas mídias sociais e materiais impressos.
3 - Na mostra de compositores, os artistas ou grupos apresentam 2 músicas para uma platéia que não tem acesso facilitado a este tipo de evento a um valor baixo.
4 - Os compositores apresentam suas músicas e ao final do evento tem a oportunidade de vender seus materiais como cds, dvds, etc.

Além do exemplo acima, temos também Exposições Coletivas de artistas gráficos, Shows musicais, peças de teatro, e apresentações de dança e circo, além de cursos e workshops.

O Mercado: Quem são os seus pares e concorrentes? Identificar os outros que também estão trabalhando para solucionar as mesmas necessidades que você e o que você faz de diferente em relação a eles. Quais seriam os desafios impostos por esses concorrentes que impactariam no seu sucesso ou crescimento?

Meus concorrentes são outras produtoras culturais e a própria fundação cultural de Curitiba.
A fundação Cultural de Curitiba oferece eventos culturais gratuitos para toda população, e isso às vezes pode causar alguma concorrência com meus eventos.

História: Queremos saber mais sobre o momento de descoberta desta solução. Conte-nos um pouco a história sobre onde e quando o(s) fundador(res) vislumbrou(aram) o potencial desta solução para mudar o mundo:

Sou descendente de uma família de circo, e por conta disto sempre soube quais eram os problemas e dificuldades enfrentadas por artistas e pessoas envolvidas com negócios relacionados à arte, mas foi a 4 anos atrás que descobri um dos maiores problemas enfrentados por artistas e público. Eu reunia um grupo multidisciplinar de artistas que gostavam de debater assuntos relacionados a cultura e artes, e foi então que percebi que estes artistas eram excelentes mas não sabiam vender seu trabalho, assim o público não os conhecia e não comprava seus materiais. O público, por sua vez, não tinha eventos acessíveis e que divulgassem estes artistas independentes. Foi aí que surgiu a ideia de produzir eventos culturais.

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

Fiz um projeto piloto em 2011 com 3 eventos: 1 mostra de compositores, 3 shows musicais, que agregou cerca de 20 artistas e alcançou cerca de 400 pessoas em um período de 3 dias. Também fizemos 1 exposição coletiva e itinerante com 6 artistas gráficos, que alcançou cerca de 2000 pessoas em 30 dias.

O resultado final disso foi:
- 4 das bandas que se apresentaram na mostra de compositores tem várias apresentações agendadas pois tiveram um grande impulso com nosso evento.
- 3 artistas gráficos conseguiram bons trabalhos por causa de sua divulgação na exposição.
- Um público cada vez mais crescente conheceu o trabalho destes artistas e esteve exposto a boa cultura que não tinham acesso por altos valores ou localização inacessível.

Qual é o impacto previsto nos próximos 1 a 3 anos?

Em nosso planejamento, previmos 1 evento por mês para 2013, que alcançarão uma média de 10.000 pessoas por ano, sendo dividida pelos eventos mensais, e até 2015 previmos 3 eventos por mês, alcançando cerca de 50.000 pessoas, sendo que alguns destes eventos serão festivais e/ou feiras/congressos.

Quais são as barreiras que podem impedir o sucesso do seu projeto? Como você planeja superá-las?

Conseguir verba para alguns destes eventos será uma dificuldade grande, mas pretendo conseguir reunir verba através de sites de financiamento coletivo, leis de incentivo a cultura (captação de recursos por meio de incentivo fiscal), e patrocínio do setor privado.

Qual é o benefício ou valor que você está criando para o seu negócio?

A cada evento que produzo os artistas estão sendo valorizados, conseguem vender seus produtos/obras artísticas, e o público tem eventos culturais de qualidade é são transformados pelo poder da arte.

Como você está alavancando recursos internos (fundos, tempo, conhecimento, etc) para apoiar esta iniciativa?

Eu fiz um curso de Marketing cultural pela Unidança, um curso de empreendedorismo social pela Aliança Empreendedora e alguns workshops sobre gestão de projetos. Além do conhecimento adquirido com os cursos, tenho o conhecimento pessoal de muitos anos de experiência na cena cultural de minha cidade.
O tempo utilizado neste projeto, está sendo planejado para que não prejudique outras áreas da empresa. Os fundos iniciais para realizar os primeiros eventos de 2013 virão do financiamento coletivo por meio de um site de CrowdFunding e patrocínios do setor privado.

Detalhe sua resposta, explicando o plano de financiamento e apoio de longo prazo.

Os 2 primeiros eventos do Toró Cultural serão financiados 50% através de um site de crowdfunding e 50% através de patrocínio de empresas privadas. Este financiamento será completo em cerca de 70 dias a partir da estréia do projeto no site de crowdfunding. Enquanto o projeto está no ar no site, nós captaremos os recursos de patrocínio de empresas.

Os demais eventos serão financiados por recursos próprios da empresa (adquiridos com os eventos anteriores), com patrocínio privado e com captação de recursos por dedução de imposto de renda com a Lei Rouanet.

Conte-nos sobre suas parcerias dentro da empresa e externas que são fundamentais para o sucesso do seu projeto.

As parcerias que temos são ligadas à área da divulgação.
A Rede de Intercambistas de Curitiba divulga os eventos do Toró Cultural, assim como alguns blogs e sites de cultura, como Cristianismo Criativo e outros.

Qual apoio interno você obteve para seu projeto? Que tipo de críticas você enfrentou?

Todos que fazem parte do Coletivo apoiaram a ideia e fizeram parte da concretização dos eventos iniciais. Não houveram críticas, apenas sugestões e conselhos que foram cuidadosamente selecionados e implementados com os devidos agradecimentos a cada um que ajudou.

I want to replace the current monopoly on medical software with a marketplace. I want to introduce a research currency into that marketplace so that hospital-based practitioners can enter patient data for research dollars to fund patient care initiatives of their choice,

I have a design for a clinician interface that is more intuitive because it involves art, pictures, and float entry.
