SUMMARY:Executive Leadership Programs for NPOs
DESCRIPTION:A 2021 McKinsey Global Institute report suggested that productivity could double postpandemic if changes extend from large firms to SMEs\, contingent on robust aggregate demand. However\, concerns about rising inequality and unemployment may jeopardize productivity gains. The Asia-Pacific faces postpandemic productivity challenges despite resilience in crisis management. Strengths in digitalization\, innovation\, and regional cooperation contrast with issues like aging populations\, environmental degradation\, social polarization\, and geopolitical tensions. \nLeaders of institutions like NPOs are crucial in shaping productivity policies. The APO recognizes the need to equip these leaders with skills to navigate challenges and expose them to the latest tools for guiding national productivity movements. In collaboration with INSEAD\, this program will enhance strategic thinking and decision-making skills to address evolving challenges in productivity policy and promotion in member economies. \nFor more details please click on PN.

SUMMARY:Training Course on Gainsharing in Agribusiness Enterprises
DESCRIPTION:Gainsharing\, a human resources strategy\, aims to enhance employee motivation and innovation\, thereby boosting overall corporate efficiency and results. This is achieved by rewarding employees for their contributions to increased productivity and performance\, benefiting both staff and management through enhanced output. However\, this practice is underutilized in the agricultural sector. A report by Plant Tracker in 2023 stated that the agriculture sector faced profit distribution imbalances\, with farmers earning only 13% of global food system profits\, as opposed to the 47% and 34% accrued by food retailers and distributors\, respectively. Hence\, the implementation of systematic gainsharing systems could significantly enhance productivity among agribusiness stakeholders\, including farmers and producers. Expanding the scope of gainsharing could also address skewed profit distribution by advocating for national policies such as minimum support price schemes\, and showcasing successful global initiatives and approaches. \nFor more details please click on PN.

SUMMARY:Multicountry Observational Study Mission on Industrial Symbiosis
DESCRIPTION:Industrial symbiosis refers to the relationships in a network of businesses\, public institutions\, and associations in which resources\, including materials\, energy\, infrastructure\, by-products\, and waste\, are exchanged and leveraged to maximize their benefits and create more value. It is used as a strategy to facilitate the circular economy and often embodied in the form of eco-industrial parks (EIPs)\, where businesses and other stakeholders collaborate to strengthen environmental\, economic\, and social performance. Vietnam has been proactively developing EIPs and converting existing industrial clusters into EIPs to pursue sustainable industrial development. They help to attract foreign investment\, develop complementary sectors\, and address environmental concerns\, in addition to creating economies of scale for industrial development. This study mission will examine the creation\, functions\, implications\, and sustainability of industrial symbiosis by observing the strategies and practices in Vietnam and discussing their effectiveness. \nFor more details please click on PN.
