Re: [Oe List ...] Question about the social process triangles . . .

RE: Question about the social process triangles . . . The chapter on "Corporate Social Responsibility" in* Transforming the Legacy *, Vol. II (2009) provides a four-step methodology (via juxtaposing the social process and corporate process triangles) for* performing a CSR** corporate** audit*, which any company could use to align its operations more effectively with country social needs/issues. Working with a representative group of company personnel via a once-a-week workshop over a 2-3 month period, I think anyone trained in ICA workshop methods could design and facilitate a company CSR audit and assist thecompany to better align the dynamics of its operations, so as to generate positive effects on the immediate community and society-at-large without substantial costs. For instance, employing and training local talent and helping to organize and work with local organizations on various issues can be of great value to a community and its environment.

Hello Jim. Have this friend look for Clancy Mann's book, Borderless Business: Managing the Far-Flung Enterprise (Mann & Goetz, Westport, Conn., Praeger Publishing, 2006) chapter 7 in which he lays out the Social Process Triangle as a basis for Managing Country Risk. Clancy's chapter in Bending History II is also a good "promotion of its use." I currently teach a graduate business course through University of Maryland University College in which the SPT is presented and used as a basic method for analyzing a country. You could say that I use it at least weekly, and have for the past 10 years. Roughly 350 students have taken the course and they generally love it as a comprehensive tool for analyzing a country's business environment. It's far better than Porter's Diamond, which is the standard business method for the purpose.

Beautiful, Margaret. My mother died in March at age 99.6. She moved from Texas to live near me ten years ago. Since we were together so much, I got used to being "the young one." I'm 75, and I miss not having that relational comparison. I'm now "the old one" in many groups I hang with. It's okay. Elder-hood has its rewards. Blessings to you, your dad and step-mother and to all in our beloved community. In gratitude, Jann In a message dated 11/8/2012 10:18:11 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, aiseayew(a)netins.net writes: I moved back to Iowa to be with my dad. Even though I was 65 on my last birthday, he still occasionally refers to me as his little girl, or his only girl, always as his daughter. I still get angry with him when he treats me as if I were less than ten. (Try to stop that!) Then again, I call on him when I have a job to do that I am not sure how to accomplish well without his advice. He will be 94 next birthday. I am incredibly fortunate to have the father I have and that he is still living. My step-mother is only a year younger. One thing I know they would say to your question (after far too many years spent working with Heifer International) is that unless you are a goat, you have no kids. My father will always be my father and I will always be his daughter. It is one of the great gifts of grace that relationship outweighs all tests of time. Rejoice in the blessing. Love to all of you, Margaret

Re: [Oe List ...] Search Engine Optimization
by Susan Fertig 09 Nov '12

I do manage the website for the church where I am on staff as communications director, but Search Engine Optimization (SEO in the vernacular) was not, until recently, anything I really knew about. We lost our web address as part of the court order by which we also lost our physical property and most of our funds. So we needed to work quickly to make it easier to find us in a google or other browser search. You can get started with google adsthey will usually give you the first $100 free and a representative will walk you through what to do. Then when that is used up you can take a look at the analytics and decide if you want to put more money into it or not. I plunked in another $200 and when that was gone I let it lapse, because we had already moved up the chain in searches and I didnt think we needed to do more right then. We might want to do it again 6 months down the road. Dont know if well feel it necessary. Some other things I was advised to do by a member of the congregation who does this for a living and generously gave us some of his time probono: 1. Get a link to your website on other organizations websites (sometimes accomplished through an exchangeyou put a link to theirs on yours) 2. Find directories (web) that will provide a link to your website because you represent a resource their consituents would want to know about 3. Keywords, keywords, keywords. Make sure every page has got keywords entered in the content management of the website. 4. Carefully plan the titles you give to each page so that it supports/responds to browser searches Ill go back and try to find some of the emails I exchanged with the guy who was advising us and see what would be applicable to ICA, ToP, etc. Ill bet there are folks in the ToP practicioners community who know a lot about SEO and can help think through what ICA needs to do to generate more visibility, develop a higher profile in its industry.

He said: I think there are very few people who currently care about the Social Process Triangle as a tool to be used for social transformation. Can you point me to someone is promotes it's use, trains others on at least an biannual basis using it, or has tried to implement it in a recognizable or tangible manner other than the Jenkins? Short mentions in books on other topics is, for my purposes, great, but is there anyone you know using it daily, weekly, or monthly to train or manage something or anything?

Shankar an Dhondiram's 35th
by Nancy Lanphear 08 Nov '12

Dear Shankar and Dhondiram, I hear that you are celebrating 35 years of life on this very day! - and what a journey you have been on! Remember the birthday questions? I would love to hear your responses. 1) how old are you - I already know that one! 35! 2) What has been a significant event (s) for you this past year? 3) What are you looking forward to OR what challenges are coming down the road? 4) How can I as part of your larger community support you in this coming year? I was thinking of you the other day as I continued to sort through some of our family archives. I found 2 pages of lists holding the number of pounds of each crop that grew in the garden that year. The garden team included Dhondiram, Shankar, Bob, Fred, and Jane Glancy. I also often recall the progressive journey we took around the RLC to everyone's "private" space or bedroom. Each youth told a story of the objects in their space - who gave it to them, where it was from, how much it meant to them .... I think Dhondiram's story took a very very long time with infinite detail. Can you imagine? Shankar - remember your first band concert? You were playing the cello, right? I recall the day I heard a knock at the door, opened it to find you tow guys standing there smiling at me. What a treat! Oh, yes! Another memory. It was many years ago, I was standing and working in the guild hall at the Kemper building in Chicago getting ready for a summer program and I felt an earthquake -like feeling in my body. There was also lots of loud talking and laughing coming from the lobby. I rushed out and with only s bit of surprise - the Weigel twins had arrived! Your energy and presence has impacted my life in so many ways! Thank you for those times of joy! I know each of you have continued on in your journey with passion and so many challenges. You have a growing family and work that feeds your souls. May your lives continue to be full and blessed. With love and hugs, Nancy

Dhondiram and Shanker, May you have a year of clarity, peace, love and indulging your parents in letting you still be "kids." Blessings, Jann McGuire, whom you wouldn't remember, but who wishes you and your family abundant blessings. In a message dated 11/8/2012 5:16:49 A.M.
