Hi.  Mutually a pleasure.

development and more...
Yesterday's program was a solid step in the needed direction required to

A)

During my 9+ year insightful and joyous experience working across the WBG,
I have come to understand the complexities, challenges and opportunities
ahead.  The World Group is on the forefront of Open Data and other
initiatives, as compared to back in the ‘90s when its projects were to push
other entities and countries shift its ways of business – market based,
transparency, competition, etc. (note IFC’s annual Doing
Business<http://doingbusiness.org/reports/global-reports/doing-business-2013>and
Transparency International); yet the WBG was still on the wake of its
continued own transitional and transformational journey ahead.
A sample of a few is added below.
May you cherish each day upon reflection, while driving informed results.
Sincere regards,
Tom

could be done about the problem (of corruption). &nbsp. In the 1990s, such
attitudes started to change in response to many factors, including the end
of the Cold War and the growth of global NGOs, such as Transparency

  How does culture change? A powerful person at the top, or a large enough
group from anywhere, decide the old ways are not working, figure out a
change vision, start acting differently, and enlist others to act
differently.

Serkan,  The keys to a successful organizational transformation are as
follows:
(1) Establish a sense of urgency.
(2) Create a guiding coalition.
(3) Develop a vision and strategy.
(4) Constantly communicating the change vision.
(5) Empowering employees for broad-based action.
(6) Generate short-term wins.
(7) Consolidate gains and produce more change.
(8) Anchor new approaches in the culture.

reveals the shift in cultures and social structures as a result of anyone
of the following:

War
Natural calamity.
Starvation.
Revolution.
Epidemic.
Invasion.
Technology.
Miracle.
Messiah.
Need.

Did I miss any? All these can be correlated to the events within the walls

proselytize the need for it. Calls for more aid to Africa are growing
louder, with advocates...

take the advice and act upon it; it is little wonder the state of
organizations and many corps across the world is falling to the level we're

Development partners must demand responsibility and accountability from all
aid recipients. There is no reason why a government that spends
irresponsibly should continue to receive assistance.   Should aid be linked
to low corruption rates? Does this help or hurt the communities that the
aid is geared towards?
The European Union published an action plan to modernise the Corporate
Governance legislation for European Listed companies.

The aim of the plan is to improve transparency in the Governance of
companies within the EU, to improve the engagement of the shareholders in

plan is new legislation another part will consist of soft ruling "comply or

Indeed
- one problem is the lack of a sophisticated private sector. It is likely
either to be in effect an extended state-controlled enterprise or a very
small firm or company with little managerial strength. But there are ways
to think big but start small!

A well structured PPP will attract international players ( developers,

All
good points, which can imply decades of groundwork. The understanding and

carrot and stick from the international institutions.

I
very much doubt the institutions understand the value of a PPP (as far as I
understand the Romanian market). Usually, the PPPs has to be pushed top
down using a political trigger.

With
PPP, it is important to have a top down trigger, it also has to come from
the bottom up (ie, from the market) as well, otherwise the changes will not
stick.

Sorry
to disappoint, I haven't seen any kind of interest increase if trying
bottom up. PPPs are still regarded as strange public tendering procedures.
I agree with you that a PPP has to generate value, otherwise it fails.

your comment isn't disappointing, its realistic; working in W Balkans, we
see the same issues; we have a cultural barrier that needs to be broken, in

I
believe except for Croatia, the rest of W Balkans have a limited
understanding of the PPPs, more limited than Romania most likely. Still all
ex-comunist countries tend to act similar on the PPP, thus I would focus on
the top down trigger.

Even
in Croatia the understanding of PPP is limited outside Zagreb. My unease
about sole reliance on the top down trigger is that you need to ensure the
audience is listening; which cannot be guaranteed if the necessary
development hasn't been done at the municipality/canton/regional/chamber
level.
