The workshop will cover the major drivers of change set to radically impact our markets and organisations and we will give you processes and tools to help you prosper through this turmoil. Understanding the different contributions of entrepreneurs, leaders and managers within your organisation will help you make change much more profitable. Already our new profiling tool is providing executive teams with insights to help their decision-making during change.

• Entrepreneur – dreams about the future. Strong on ideas. Brilliant at vision
• Leader – plans for tomorrow. Strong on people. Brilliant at behaviour
• Manager – delivers today. Strong on process. Brilliant at capability

The innovator lives in the future, the leader plans for tomorrow and the manager delivers today. For the evolutionary process of change you need all three.

• Is your business not getting its ideas out to market? You need more leaders.
• Not making money from your ideas? Too many entrepreneurs and not enough managers.
• Revolution followed by revolution? Too many managers and too few entrepreneurs.

Lancement du plan national du tri et du recyclage d'Eco-Emballages et d'Adelphe : tous en route vers 75%

Mercredi 30 juin 2010, Eco-Emballages et Adelphe lancent le Plan National du Tri et du Recyclage des emballages ménagers en France. Malgré une performance remarquable du 63% d’emballages triés et recyclés, acquise grâce à 18 ans de sensibilisation et d’engagement de tous les acteurs de la chaine du tri (consommateurs, entreprises, collectivités, associations, opérateurs…), l’objectif du Grenelle I de 75% reste un défi majeur.

1 in 4 world citizens are affected by web censorship

According to Reporters Without Borders' last annual report, 25,3% of the global population has potentially been subject to online censorship.

Away from the wholesome image projected by the marketing companies, bottled water contains a whole host of environmental and social problems. Lindsay Whalen goes to the source.

Extraction leads to water shortages, transporting it contributes to climate change and disposing of the packaging releases toxic chemicals. Add to that the extortionate price-tag and involvement of unethical multinationals and seeds of doubt about the great bottled water scam may start to sprout.

Bonuses have been inflated by a poaching war as firms that have survived in good shape, such as Barclays, Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank, snaffle top talent. Typically, they are hiring rainmakers on one-year guaranteed deals, with the highest earners in line for between $1 million or $2 million, regardless of whether they generate any business.

This is a far cry from the boom years when the same people could expect to earn five times that but the packages will still be seen as excessive when banks are under pressure to scrap large bonuses. It's no different from Premiership football where those who score goals command the most. Those in the "Ronaldo" category, making recent moves include Basil Geoghegan, who left Goldman for Deutsche Bank, Jonathan Grundy, who joined Credit Suisse from Merrill Lynch, and Jim Renwick, whom Barclays Capital poached from UBS.

Not to be caught out, victims of these poaching raids are responding by handing out retention bonuses - one or two-year deals to hold onto staff. Bank of America Merrill Lynch is understood to have paid its corporate broking teams bonuses to stay, while UBS, Europe's biggest casualty of the credit crunch, is said to have also paid up to stop rivals nabbing its best people.

The idea that bonuses could disappear, as the authorities wish, is seen as a joke in the City. Regulators insist that pay reform is on the way, and last week the Financial Services Authority's three-month consultation over its pay recommendations closed. However, whatever the FSA says, the premium on star names will remain. In an industry reliant upon contacts and relationships, they are the banks' lifeblood. The banks will always find a way to attract and reward them. Bonuses have not only not been away, they are not going anywhere.

A group of 50 Young Global Leaders (YGLs) are about to launch the Paris Initiative for the G20 at an international roundtable under the High Patronage of the French President, which will take place in Paris on 29 and 30 June.

The objective is to set up a brainstorming by civil society actors to formulate recommendations for the forthcoming French presidency of the G20 in 2011. This group of young leaders – composed of several ministers and former ministers, NGO founders, corporate executives, university professors and journalists – along with Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, will gather in Paris on 29 and 30 June.

Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, and Warren Buffett are asking the nation's billionaires to pledge to give at least half their net worth to charity, in their lifetimes or at death. If their campaign succeeds, it could change the face of philanthropy.

Buffett, Gates, and Gates -- who have a combined net worth of around $100 billion -- have already committed most of their money to charity. Click on the photo for more pictures.

Jean-François Rischard, a former vice president of the World Bank and the best-selling author of High Noon, told the audience that the world needs a "new generation of students" who are more creative and collaborative in their approach to tackling global problems such as the warming of the planet, poverty, financial instability, water shortages, and biodiversity breakdowns.

The speech was heavy on the global big picture, with charts, diagrams, and lists on a large screen on the stage, but there were not a lot of specifics about how education, and more specifically, educational technology would help solve those problems.

But near the end of the presentation, Rischard called on those in the audience and educators worldwide to engage in the kinds of changes that would help tackle the world's most pressing issues. "We need a new generation with far more knowledge, much better skills, and a different mindset," he said. "This has to come from heads of states, this has to come from you, educators."

He argued that if schools took the approach of creating a more multidisciplinary and multicultural curriculum centered on solving the biggest global problems, the result would be better schools producing more creative, analytical, and collaborative students who would grow up to be far more effective than the present generation of adults in addressing the fast-changing and increasingly complex issues of today and tomorrow.

But, he said, "institutions of education tend to be much more change resistant when they should be the opposite." That comment drew loud applause.
