INTEGRITY

15/10/2011

Let me continue the thread about sustainable business started in the posts “GLOBALLY RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP” and “3 IN 1”. This time I offer you to look at integrity – the concept widely discussed in the corporate and non-corporate world nowadays. For instance, it was one of the core topics at the Daimler World Dialogue 2011 organized in October 2011 by the well-known manufacturer of the Mercedes-Benz cars Daimler AG.

So, what is integrity? And why does it receive so much attention? Here is my opinion.

Integrity is one of the essential components of globally responsible leadership. Being consistent in own vision, mission, expectations, goals, values, principles, methods, actions, etc. allows your organization to progress steadily in the desired direction and earns trust from the side of share- and stakeholders and other economic agents. This trust is the foundation of the long-term successful cooperation, which, as has been mentioned, is necessary to address all international and global issues.

Integrity is also related to the holistic, or systemic approach, when, for instance, international business is viewed not only as “sell – buy” relationships between the organization and its clients in different countries, but as a complex system of economic agents, processes, methods, principles, the environment, etc. and interrelations between them. Operating as part of such system requires the previously-mentioned consistency.

Another aspect of integrity in international business is represented in incorporating the socially accepted norms, values, morality, and other elements of ethics into the decision-making and operations of the organization. But, considering the international character of affaires here, the organization should be consistent with ethical principles and norms not of a single country or region, but of a global society. Truly, a huge challenge, but very awarding indeed!

And last, but not least, integrity means not only acting consistently with vision, values, methods, etc., but also providing trustworthy information in a timely and transparent manner. An organization incorporating integrity in its information delivery actions has a consistent and unambiguous image among clients, partners, competitors, policy-makers, and other agents.

3 IN 1

29/08/2011

I will start from rather far away. Each year I set an objective for myself to visit three countries I have not been to before. In this way I slowly, but steadily move towards the goal to see and experience all countries of our beautiful and amazing World.

In 2011 the International Baltic Summer School (IBSS) represented a wonderful opportunity to achieve the above-mentioned yearly objective, because it takes place in three Baltic countries: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. And I had not been there previously. In addition, there was some strange feeling that I should go for this opportunity, because I might learn something important. So, in spite of rather high costs, my decision-making on this topic resulted in the submitted application for IBSS and further taking part in this Summer School.

However, this article named “3 IN 1” is not about the interesting company visits to Skype and ICT Demo Center in Tallinn, swimming and sunbathing at the beaches in Parnu and Jurmala, adventures of being homeless in Riga, playing in the “fun room” of Swedbank high above Vilnius, admiring the treasures of the Trakai Castle, and in general enjoying the 3 countries in 1 Summer School.

No, the post is about what I have learned and experienced concerning business: Knowledge, Skills, and Ethics – the 3 components that an entrepreneur should possess in order to create and run a modern and successful international business.

1) Knowledge:

This is the most obvious and frequently used “compound” in the formula of entrepreneurship. No wonder there is a saying “Who possesses the information, rules the World”. During IBSS we were taught the peculiarities of doing business in the Baltics, entrepreneurial environment and developments there, as well as shown examples of successful companies on the Baltic market. This knowledge will surely be valuable in the process of establishing business in the region, but it will also surely be outdated by the time the decision on doing it is made. So, the task of an entrepreneur here is to ensure the constant receiving of the relevant and updated knowledge through multiple channels, both physical and virtual.

2) Skills:

Raw knowledge is not enough without the necessary “tools” to process and use it for the entrepreneur’s advantage. These “tools” are specific skills and abilities, both innate and developed through personal and professional experience. Skills to think “out of the box” and come up with the unique idea, skills to identify the business potential in this idea and to make it real, skills to establish and benefit from a large international network, skills to convince other people in your idea and business and thus obtain the customer base, skills to manage yourself and the pressure upon you, and many more. Some of them we have already had, some we have discovered and developed during IBSS, and some will come with experience further on.

3) Ethics:

This component is often omitted from the entrepreneurship formula. Some even say that there is no such thing as “business ethics”. I do not intend to argue with them, because my opinion is that common human ethics is enough to make person respected, business deals trustworthy, and business itself successful. If to wrap it up in a philosophical veil, as it is usually done, I would say that while knowledge is the key to the door of success and skills are the hands that are able to turn this key, ethics is that “inner voice”, which suggested you to choose exactly this door and to obtain exactly this key. But it is quite hard to learn to listen to this “voice”, and many people choose even not to try it. Why bother, when there are so many temptations around?! Nevertheless, the environment, including the business one, constantly tests every one of us on following the ethical way. At the Summer School I was somehow put into conditions that allowed me to check my ethical principles, values, goals, and dedication to them. I suppose I have passed this trial. At least it made me think about all this stuff.

All in all, my key learning point from the International Baltic Summer School (IBSS) was that in order to achieve victory on the “business battleground” an entrepreneur should have all 3 components – Knowledge, Skills, and Ethics – armed and ready. And not only HAVE them, but also USE them every day and in every step towards own business. The 3 components – the “key”, the “hands”, and the “voice” – for one door to success.


GLOBALLY RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP

26/08/2011

Recently I have been asked to state my opinion on what is globally responsible leadership. Below is a brief summary of my understanding of this modern and important concept.

Evolution. The World and each of its elements is constantly in the process of evolution. This goes also for new knowledge, experience, and opportunities, as well as for problems and challenges. The more we know about the World, the more we find out about its complexity and interdependence and the more we realize how fragile these interdependences are. Take greenhouse gases (GHGs) for instance: only relatively recently we have discovered how their emissions from factories, automobiles, etc. are harmful to the environment and human health and how they can alter the global climatic balance. And we do not know even the half of the story!

In order to keep up with this “evolution” and consider the above-mentioned interrelations in our decision-making, strategies, and actions, we have no choice, but to push forward the evolution of such important “change-making tools”, as leadership. Nowadays it is no longer enough to lead your organization to success on the market, for example. Now the leader should consider and take the responsibility for what consequences on economy, society, and the environment his/her decisions and actions will have. This responsibility will make the leader strive for finding and implementing solutions to such global issues and externalities as climate change and integrate them into his/her business and way of living.

However, the majority, if not all global issues, or “bads” are public by their nature (that is, non-excludable and non-rival). This indicates the efforts of a single organization, even very large and international, are not enough to solve these issues in an effective and efficient way. Cooperation is necessary. But such unpleasant things as free-riding by other economic agents pose obstacles to this cooperation and motivation to strive for positive change. Thus, globally responsible leadership means not only acting as an agent of positive change, but also assuming the role of a drive force of bringing together other players on the global arena and leading them to common goals, in spite of all the challenges and obstacles.

So, to make it brief, in my understanding, globally responsible leadership is the way of making decisions and acting on their basis with taking responsibility for their consequences on economy, society, and the environment and contributing to reducing / eliminating negative and increasing positive impacts on the global level through driving forward the cooperation of all necessary agents.

But did you know that the best time to learn about and practice globally responsible leadership is when you are young and full of energy and desire to change the World?

Did you know that there exists a global student organization that is focused on “creating” globally responsible leaders?

Did you know…

Note 1: If you want to learn more about the concept of the globally responsible leadership, a recommendation is to see Quinn L., D’Amato A. (2008): Globally Responsible Leadership: A Leading Edge Conversation, Center for Creative Leadership.

Note 2: Discussion about the globally responsible leadership was inspired by the application to the Daimler World Dialogue 2011.


IT’S SUMMER FESTIVALS TIME!

23/06/2011

The three warm and sunny days of June and of the Whitsun Holiday are the days of the Copenhagen Carnival. The main shopping and touristic street of Copenhagen, Strøget, as well as the park to the north called Fælledparken, become filled with music of various genres, colourful parades, half-naked girls dancing samba and other energetic and exciting dances, photographers scurrying among the crowd to take good shots of the girls’ uncovered body parts, and just citizens enjoying the event. Of course, it is not the mega-grand and mega-shiny Brazilian Carnival, but still is quite fun and entertaining.

Here is a glimpse of the Copenhagen Carnival that took place this year (2011) for you to see for yourself:

The Copenhagen Carnival’s history stretches back to 1982, when it was organized for the first time under the topic “The street is the stage, and you are the entertainer”. The idea to organize this event belongs to the artist John Little, who was inspired by the marvellous carnivals in the Caribbean region. You can read more about its history and development into a yearly festival of world music HERE.But the Carnival is not a single opportunity to have lots of fun in Denmark this summer. Therefore, if you have missed it, do not worry. This is just the beginning of the summer festivals time! Check out the agenda full of various music, fashion shows, tasty delicacies, and lots of partying below.

Roskilde Festival: 26th of June – 4th of July

World music is coming to the Roskilde city once again. One of the six largest annual music festivals in Europe invites you for the 8 days of fun and entertainment. Read more about it HERE and HERE.

Copenhagen Jazz Festival: 1st – 10th of July

Crazy about jazz in particular? Then this music event organized since 1979 is the best place for you this summer. The stars of this year’s festival include Sonny Rollins, Bobby McFerrin, and Keith Jarrett. Get to know more about it HERE.

Copenhagen Fashion Week / Festival: 3rd – 7th of August

This is truly a marvellous gift to all ladies! While your boyfriend or husband revives slowly after unlimited beer-drinking and partying during the previous festivals, you can check out what the designers from all over the world have prepared for you this year. The Copenhagen Fashion Festival starts HERE.

Cultural Harbour: 5th – 7th of August

If your get overexcited from all those trendy and astronomically expensive models, then you can chill out at the annual harbour festival at Havneparken located at the Islands Brygge. Read some more details about it HERE.

SmukFest: 10th – 14th of August

Danes claim that this is the most beautiful festival of the year. They even did not put much creativity into its name and just called it “Beautiful Festival”. You can see if it is really true HERE.

Strøm: 15th – 20th of August

Now it is time for the fans of electronic music to invade the streets of Copenhagen. The one week festival called Strøm is dedicated to this music genre. More information can be found HERE.

Copenhagen Cooking: 19th – 28th of August

After all those festivals you would probably get very hungry. So, why not take “the cherry from the pie” during the last days of summer and visit this food festival with lots of cooking and tasting opportunities spread all over the Denmark’s capital city. See what is on the menu HERE.

And there are many more interesting and exciting opportunities offered by Denmark in summer. Just go and explore the country, and you will surely find them!

So, prepare for much movin’ and groovin’! Show the world your partying might under the silver moonlight! And to end this silly rhyme:

IT’S SUMMER FESTIVALS TIME!


GOING INTERACTIVE: SAVI LEARNING AT MUSEUMS

24/05/2011

Museum. Ancient slabs with hieroglyphs stand behind the glass cases. Beautiful tapestry hang on the walls supplied with the sign “Do not touch!”. People walk slowly among the silent showpieces… looking… looking… and looking…

This is the “traditional” image of a museum of any specialization, be it historical, zoological, cultural, etc. You can visit such museums in almost every city of the World. And it is great that we have them to spread knowledge within the society.

However, these “traditional” museums have one very strong limitation – they focus primarily (if not solely) on the visual channel of transmitting information. Thus, they ignore other elements of the so-called VAK (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) or SAVI (Somatic, Auditory, Visual, Intellectual) learning style models. In other words, you only see things, but have no possibility to hear how they sound (for instance, the song of a certain species of birds or the tonality of a musical instrument), to touch them (for example, to know what they are made of), to “play” with them in order to understand how they work, and last but not least to check what you have learned from each visit to a museum.

However, the good news is that more and more museums understand the importance of engaging all information channels in the learning process and incorporate them through various creative projects and exhibitions. This allows attracting people’s attention to and increasing their awareness of even such “simple” and “usual” things as water.

As an example I offer you to watch a short video taken at the mobile exhibition “Train of Ideas: Visions for Future Cities” aimed at informing people about ideas and ways of designing ecologically-friendly and sustainable cities and living in them. I managed to visit it when the exhibition was in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the end of April this year. The video shows only a small part of it dedicated to incorporating Nature into urban structure and the issue of water resource management. There you could try designing your own “green” city, feel yourself as part of it, play music with tap water, learn about the composition of water and where it comes from, see videos about modern “green” city design, and much more.

Within the exhibition there were also sections dedicated to renewable energy, waste management, way of living in an environmentally-friendly city, how people can move towards such living, and other.

As you see, even the simplest but creative ideas may bring significant benefits both to the organizers of an exhibition in terms of attracting visitors and to these visitors in making the learning process more interesting, fun, and impactful. And such ideas should be incorporated not only in the activity of museums, but in education as a whole, including schools, colleges, universities, and specialized courses. This should produce significant synergetic impact, because you engage all elements of the VAK or SAVI learning model in an integrated manner.

So, let’s get INTERACTIVE!


DAILY FAIRYTALE

16/01/2011

Waking up, quick breakfast, school / university / work, home sweet home, dinner, TV, Internet, sleep. And the same schedule tomorrow… and the day after tomorrow… and so on… Weekends might be coloured a bit with a short walk in the nearby park, visit to a concert, meeting with friends, or more TV / Internet.

It is quite familiar to you, isn’t it?

Well, this is the standard interest-and-passion-killing creativity-destroying freedom- eliminating everyday life. It is easy to plan and predict it, however it lacks of surprises, mysteries, and magic.

But if we do not want to make our life “standardized”, if we desire some pleasant surprises and real magic in it, if we want to add a lot more colours here, where should we look for them? Yes, in fairytales.

Do you remember all those thrilling stories and legends full of rich castles, brave knights, beautiful princesses, and romantic happy-endings with the enchanting Magic of Love? What was your favourite one? “Beauty and the Beast”? “Cinderella”? Or perhaps “Father Frost”?

In your childhood you most probably dreamed about being inside this fairytale and saving the beautiful princess trapped in a high tower from the ferocious fire-spitting dragon. Of course, you have always been victorious and deserved a sweet and tender kiss.

Or maybe you dreamed of being a princess yourself awaiting the handsome prince on his snow-white mighty stallion. And certainly he had always come only for you.

Do you want to get back these magical feelings? Do you wish to enjoy your life like a child? Do you desire to turn your every day into an enchanting fairytale? Yes?

Then DO IT!

Well, I should make myself clear here. Surely I do not motivate you, for instance, to steal a sword at the local museum and charge the nearby tax collector’s office with a shout: “Die, you blood-sucking dragon!”. In this case you might really end up in a “castle” (asylum, that is), but without any beautiful princesses… well, there might be some… those, who also took my advice very literally.

What I want to point out here is to make your own daily life and the lives of your dearest ones as wonderful and enchanting as in a fairytale.

Take a look around. There is always something from a fairytale in the environment. For example, Denmark, the country I currently study in, is quite rich in this aspect: they have the queen with her royal family; plentiful of beautiful castles and palaces; the magical amusement park “Tivoli” with sultan’s palace, pirate ship, Chinatown, etc.; den Lille Havfrue (the Little Mermaid), and many more things and places of this kind. Sometimes one can see royal coaches with graceful horses on the streets. No wonder one of the most famous personalities (if not the most famous one) in this country is Hans Christian Andersen – the poet and storyteller, author of such well-known fairytales as “The Snow Queen”, “The Little Mermaid”, and “The Wild Swans”.

So, why not to use this magical environment?

Take your boy/girlfriend on a visit to the Rosenborg Castle, for instance. Have a walk along the alleys of the King’s Garden, where the Castle is situated. Show him/her the beauty of the Mother Nature around. Plant two rose seeds there in order to come back to the Garden some day, see them blossom and recall that romantic day. Then enter the Castle and discover many elegant royal rooms and astonishing treasury in the cellars. Feel yourselves as true prince and princess there. Don’t forget to go upstairs to the Throne Room. And there, among the beauty and majesty, recite a romantic poem / fairytale / legend of your own dedicated to your beloved one (here and here are two examples in Russian).

The next day you can go to other places and / or come up with new interesting things and activities. Thus you keep your creativity and innovation working and love and interest to life glowing.

Do not have a beloved one yet? Well, if you spice up your daily life with fairytale magic, some day your prince / princess will find you. Because in this way your living becomes a fairytale, and in all fairytales prince and princess are meant to be together in order to “live happily ever after”.

And you do not necessarily need to come to Denmark to experience all this. It is not the place that makes a fairytale so interesting and inspiring – it is the characters. You are able to create your own wonderful story in every country of the World. For it is YOU who are the storyteller, the wizard who makes all the magic.

So, let’s start making it and creating your fairytale today:

Once upon a time…

SELF-EDUCATION: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND YOU

21/11/2010

While studying for my Masters degree at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, I have noticed significant differences between the general approach to graduate and postgraduate education in my home country Moldova and here.

Back home the focus is on theoretical side of knowledge, with this knowledge being “fed” to students. Thorough control of each student’s performance is done by teachers throughout the whole study period. Students are required to strictly “obey” the established curriculum, the teachers, and the university staff. Everything is quite formal and official.

This is a more or less opposite case in Denmark and other European countries. The stress here is made on self-education (autodidacticism); that is, every student “knits” his / her own study process.

Firstly, it is you who chooses what courses to take in each block and semester. Of course, there are some core and compulsory subjects you are required to have, but regarding their allocation and choice of elective ones – this is entirely up to you. Selection and allocation is performed by using the virtual system you gain access to before the start of the study period.

Secondly, the education process is constructed in a way to give you more applied side of knowledge and to help you develop corresponding competences and skills. It is not enough to just know how things work, you are required to understand the logic behind it and implement the obtained information and skills in the real world situations. In addition, learning everything by heart is not demanded here; on the contrary, you are expected to develop critical thinking by challenging the truth of theories and applicability of methods and instruments.

Thirdly, students are not obliged to attend any lecture or seminar. You are not checked for attendance and in most cases you do not get marks during the study period; you receive only the final grade based on your exam performance. However, it means that much of the studying is done through individual and group work outside lectures. So, your study and performance are your own business, but this “business” requires much time and hard work from you.

It seems that the self-education approach practiced in many European countries is the best one possible. Still, let us look at it through the “critical eye” and see what are the advantages (the “goods”) and disadvantages (the “bads”) of it.

The “goods” are the following:

- Opportunity to construct your own curriculum and study process – You know better than anyone else what you want to take from your education, so this allows you to align personal expectations and schedule with your studying;

- Focus on every student – This makes students feel themselves important and thus show more dedication to and involvement in the study process (it is like firms’ focus on consumer in a market);

- Informal environment – Students do not have “formality and hierarchy obstacles” to approach teachers with questions, proposals, feedback, etc.;

- Alignment with the real world – Accent on the applied side of knowledge makes it easier for students to understand and transfer it “beyond auditoriums”;

- Opportunity to make and correct mistakes – When you do not get marks, but receive constructive feedback from your teacher, you are not afraid to make mistakes and, most importantly, learn how to correct and prevent them in the future;

- Development of innovation and critical thinking – No doubt that these competences are very demanded on the global labour market, so their development brings significant added value to an individual;

- Team work and leadership experience – Studying and working on a common project together with other students helps you develop these two no less important competences and skills.

However, there are some “bads” here also:

- Somewhat complicated study self-service you need to understand and learn to use – It might be difficult to master the usage of the course selection, internal communication and other virtual systems, especially for the first time;

- Dependence on information technologies – Various system upgrade periods, bugs, viruses and other IT-related issues can pose certain challenges in registering for a course or receiving the necessary material on time, for example;

- Time-consuming – Self-education suggests there is a lot of reading, work on assignments and projects to do outside lectures and seminars. This fact makes it very challenging to get a job or to do something else (of course, if you really want to benefit from your education). And if you have no grant or scholarship to cover tuition fees and maintenance, then it becomes a very serious drawback.

So, as you see, there is no “perfect” approach to education (though many people equal the words “abroad” and “the best”) – each has both its strong and weak points. It is mostly up to YOU how the proportion of “goods” and “bads” will be managed. If you are of the “lazy and not interested” kind, then you will surely find dozens of arguments why current education does not satisfy your needs. But with proper interest and passion in the study programme, you will manage to get the most out of and beyond it despite the overall level of its development.

Certainly, the quality of education also depends on the state’s attention and care for it. If the state wants to have a well-developed internal labour market with high quality and globally demanded local specialists and wishes to prevent the so-called “brain-drain” phenomenon, then it should invest in the development of education and really “think out of the box” to maximize the synergy of the “goods” from various approaches and minimize the “bads” of each of them. Still, in some way it also depends upon you. If you just sit and complain, but continue to follow the established regime, then the state has no incentive to spend precious budget money for improving something where change is not demanded. On the contrary, if you take proactive role in addressing the education issue, then your voice has higher chance of being heard at the “tops”. Even if you cannot reach sanity and rational thinking of high officials, then at least you will be able to improve education quality for yourself and probably surrounding people.

Thus, perhaps we better stop whining and waiting for some imaginary “good and wise fellow politician” to come to power and change the education system for the better with a mere wave of his hand… and perhaps we should get our own minds and hands into it if we really desire an effective and efficient education for ourselves and our children.

As an American actor Jonathan Winters pointed out:

If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to it”.


BIKING RULEZ!

27/10/2010

Denmark in general and Copenhagen in particular are considered to have one of the most widespread bicycling culture in the World. Almost everyone here, from small children to elderly ladies, ride a bike. Going to work and returning home, dropping in at supermarket for shopping, going out with friends, delivering mail and goods, using a mobile phone, playing with a baby, scratching a leg, flirting, kissing… – a lot of things are done on this two-wheeled mean of transportation here.

Such vast usage of bicycles is not a big surprise if you consider high fares on public transportation in Copenhagen, for instance. So, if you live far from school / university / work and like to go around the city a lot, in the long run buying a two-wheeled friend is more effective from the financial and convenience points of view.

In the UniversityPost article “Danish Cycling Etiquette” they state that there are certain biking rules that the Danes follow carefully and that foreigners should consider in order not to get into some unpleasant situations. But do the Danes themselves always follow these “bike lane rules”? My daily observations “on the road” show the contrary.

Of course, you can see many cyclists stopping at the red light and waiting even if there are neither cars nor pedestrians. Still, not all are that patient: here goes the first “rule-breaker”, then the second, and so on. Automobiles and road-crossing people will allow them pass by, as bikes have the highest priority on the roads here.

What about the stopping / turning signals? Well, if suddenly you are made to press hard on your brakes because some lady in front decided to stop near a fancy dress shop without prior signalling, do not be surprised – this is quite usual situation I get into every week.

Some cyclists may behave quite boldly and use full flexibility of bicycle riding. When a Copenhagen citizen is in a hurry, and there is a busy bike lane in front, he / she sees no problem in changing to a big road or to a pedestrian pavement. Sometimes you can even observe a cyclist going by the same lane, but in the opposite direction. And, of course, crossing the car road in places with no traffic lights seems to become commonplace.

But what if you are in a hurry? Then there is nothing worse than a couple in deep love riding side-by-side ahead of you and totally ignoring the whole World around them. Well, actually, it can get even worse, if this couple has tricycles with large baskets in front (used for transporting goods, dogs, or kids… or even everything at once). If you are a careful rule-follower, then such situations are excellent opportunities to test your patience.

There are many more cases of Copenhagen residents not following their own “cycling etiquette”, but in general I should confirm that the Danes are more or less diligent here. Thus, following the biking rules is like showing respect to other cyclists. And there is a saying: “Respect creates respect”.

In exchange for being a decent cyclist you get a wonderful biking experience without any angry shouts in your address, but with marvellous views of the Denmark’s colourful capital, Copenhagen, and a rich collection of girls’ panties before you (sorry, but with all the shirt skirts and transparent tights it is hard not to notice).

M-m… There’s a nicely looking blond girl passing by… Want to enjoy the beauty? Then put some pressure on those pedals and let the chase begin!
