SUMMARY:PCI Community Call - Students of Leadership with Jeffrey Page
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Sunday\, December 5th at 8:30 AM PT (11:30 AM ET) for a discussion about leadership with Jeffrey Page. \nJeffrey has spent much of his career studying what makes an effective leader and how leadership skills at every level are critical to the success of every organization. Jeffrey is very excited to engage with the PCI community to explore the topic of leadership with the vast leadership experience of this community. \nJeff Page’s book\, Becoming a Student of Leadership –Making Leadership a Practice\, approaches the subject of leadership as an exercise in perpetual self-reflection – and demonstrates a direct relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership ability. Jeff doesn’t offer a simple formula or set of rules for becoming an effective leader. He presents a series of stories\, meditations\, and essays that explore universal themes of leadership\, drawing on his 30-plus years of experience as a leader with anecdotes that will resonate with readers and help them with their own reflective paths to gaining self-awareness and becoming students of leadership. \nJeffrey Page’s Bio \nhttps://jeffrey.page/ \nWith over 30 years of professional experience building and leading high-performing teams\, Jeff Page is still working on his leadership practice. He is currently working as the vice president of operations for a small government IT consulting business\, Precise Software Solutions. Prior to his current work in the private sector\, Jeff spent over 27 years working for the federal government. He served as the chief operating officer at the Corporation for National and Community Service (now named AmeriCorps) from 2014 to 2017 and as budget director from 1998 to 2005. From 2005 to 2014\, Jeff worked as the chief financial officer for the Library of Congress. Jeff began his career as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Democratic Republic of Congo\, and he spent 12 years working with the Peace Corps – 10 in Africa and two at Peace Corps headquarters. \n  \nFor PCI Community member invitation only. \nTo be a member of our PCI community click here.

SUMMARY:Community Organized Event: Invitation to UN discussion on 3D Printing: Its Potential and Implications for International Security
DESCRIPTION:Dear Colleagues\,\n\nYou are invited to a conversation with the Japanese Permanent Representative to the UN\, UN Under-Secretary General Izumi Nakamitsu\, on 3D Printing: Its Potential and Implications for International Security. The event will occur from 1000-1100 ET this Thursday\, 02 December (0700-0800 Pacific).\n\nLike other emerging technologies\, 3D printing offers the prospects of new possibilities for progress and human uplift. As technology\, 3D printing does not pose a threat in and of itself. It has the capability to yield great benefits for society. However\, this capability can also be redirected for malign ends. \nMany of the same characteristics that make it valuable to legitimate manufacturers—speed to delivery\, on-demand production\, more efficient inventory management\, design innovation\, and lower barriers to entry into new markets—can be used for nefarious purposes\, including in ways that could have negative implications for international security. Given the further technological development of 3D printing and its real-world applications over the past few years\, this event will discuss the likely next steps and how the United Nations can play a constructive role\, including in the field of non-proliferation. \n\nhttps://stimsoncenter.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Sx86OH61R9KBUEpsUDTVVw?utm_source=Stimson+Center&utm_campaign=c010cef739-StD%2FTTS%2FTurtle+Bay+Webinar&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_15c3e20f70-c010cef739-4625020

SUMMARY:PCI’s Global Help Desk and the Vaccination Equity Consortium By Todd Hoskins\, Senior Fellow for the Global Help Desk
DESCRIPTION:Last month\, Microsoft publicly announced its commitment to the Vaccination Equity Initiative. In the last four weeks a new consortium has formed – the Vaccination Equity Consortium (VEC) – with Microsoft\, Amazon\, Dell\, Moderna\, GSK\, Pfizer\, Quest Diagnostics\, Easterseals\, United Way\, Kaiser Permanente\, the CDC Foundation\, the California Medical Health Reserve Corps\, and many more. PCI’s Global Help Desk is proud to be playing a key role in this group. \nOver the last decade\, there have been voices calling for more ambitious forms of public/private partnerships to address key global issues. Don Tapscott created momentum with the idea of Global Solutions Networks\, and Steve Waddell wrote a book on Global Action Networks. The idea is that we need broad networked collaborations that attend to complex needs that are both interconnected and contextual. Solutions need to be adaptable\, localized\, and coordinated\, with resources and strategies as diverse as the unique needs being addressed in each region. Governments\, community organizations\, corporations\, NGO’s\, and volunteers must learn to share knowledge and coordinate efforts. \nIn this case\, the universal need is greater than “shots in arms”–it’s equipping healthcare systems to move beyond a COVID-survival state by giving more people appropriate\, local access to vaccines. Imagine the wide variety of approaches across the globe to health records\, data sharing\, volunteer management\, connectivity\, communication\, and coordinating at the grassroots level. This is the challenge\, one that is technical\, complex\, and relational. \nWhat is the Global Help Desk’s role? “Not About Us Without Us” guides our journey to vaccine equity. GHD is both driving and evolving the scaffolding and framework for inclusive sustainable digital cooperation\, coordinating parties and actions to ensure ongoing trust\, recognizing that the future we want will be fueled by friendship–networks of affection.  We at PCI are working hard so that the evolving GHD makes sure the present is balanced with the future\, prioritizing the voices of the too often overlooked and underserved so their needs are known and addressed. \nBuilding on concepts that emerged at the very beginning of the Internet by Douglas Engelbart and evolved in the work of (US) Federal Health Futures: We are setting up interaction and engagement for local communities developing their network competencies so local community hubs operate as independent parts of the global network for Vaccine Equity. GHD is shepherding digital tools and services to recognize local community needs\,  knowledge\, people and assets\, and connect them to global expertise and resources. The work already underway at PCI’s Tribal Resource Center will be the first node of the Global Help Desk network with many more to come. \nThe world is moving: The G20 2021 High-Level Panel has called for a Global Pandemic Deal.  The VEC is emerging as the private-sector body that the Global Deal needs. We know that the success of this network is important in moving toward a post-COVID world\, but also important in bringing equity to center stage in the global digital transformation. \nPCI’s Global Help Desk helps build local capacity for digital transformation by playing the role of coordinator between networks\, governments\, organizations\, and volunteers. As a people-powered initiative of the People-Centered Internet\, GHD is committed to principles of JEDHI (justice\, equity\, diversity\, healing\, and inclusion)\, and supporting the sustainability of networked improvement communities across borders and boundaries. \nTo join our call on November 21st and to learn more about the Global Help Desk and the Vaccination Equity Consortium\, please reply to this email.

SUMMARY:Connecting Your Inner Engineer to Your Inner Leader By IEEE Women in Engineering
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: If you see an “Email me a magic link” button during the registration process\, please click on it and follow the instructions. \nAbstract \nAs up-and-coming engineers\, we develop perspectives and ways of working that are essential to being good students and thorough researchers. Some of the approaches that help your inner engineer excel and continue to be valuable in all aspects of life. But others can hold your burgeoning inner leader back — causing you to feel at war with yourself. In this webinar\, Jelena Kovačević\, William R. Berkley Professor\, and Dean of NYU Tandon will discuss the lessons she has learned on the path to becoming a successful researcher and leader\, and the times that breaking with those engineering conventions have helped her inner engineer and inner leader become more at peace and\, in turn\, advanced her career. \nBIO \nJelena Kovačević became the Dean of NYU Tandon in August 2018. She is the first woman to head the school since its founding in 1854 as the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute. Under her leadership\, the school has enrolled a record percentage of women — 46% of the class of 2023 — and achieved multiple awards from ASEE and the NCWIT to increase diversity and inclusion while continuing a historic jump of 44 spots to #36 in the U.S. News & World Report Rankings since 2009. She received her Electrical Engineering degree from the University of Belgrade\, Yugoslavia\, in 1986\, and her MS and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia University\, New York\, NY\, in 1988 and 1991\, respectively. Before joining NYU\, she was the Head of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Jelena has also worked in the private sector at Bell Labs and was the co-founder and Technical VP of the company xWaveforms. \nRegister here https://bit.ly/3aAqmU5!

SUMMARY:PCI Community Call - Technology for Humanity with Sarah McCue
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that Sarah McCue will join us on Sunday\, November 7th at 8:30 AM PT ( 11:30 AM ET) \nTopic: Technology for Humanity: Will Connectivity Progress Humanity? \nThe United Nations estimates that 3.6 billion people\, almost half of the world’s population\, currently lack access to the Internet.  However\, in less than a decade\, the UN is predicting that most every person will have safe and affordable access to the Internet. \nThis universal connectivity is expected by 2030\, and it is breathtaking to ponder what the world will be like when most are interconnected.  Will greater peace\, prosperity\, education\, cultural understanding\, transparency\, and overall happiness increase\, or\, instead\, will universal access to the Internet result in more war and violence\, less prosperity\, no greater access to education\, the same levels of corruption\, and a world population that is more anxious\, isolated and depressed? \nTo predict the future\, we must know our past.  We must understand how connectivity has profoundly changed our way of life since the Internet took hold in the mid-1980s\, including impact on mental and physical health\, loss of human connection\, transformation of physical communities\, loss of privacy\, and attacks on truth. \n  \n\nLoss of Human Connection\nTransformation of Physical Communities\nLoss of Privacy\nAttacks on Truth\nIs There Hope That Connectivity Will Progress Humanity?\n\n  \nSee the attached document “Technology For Humanity” for more on the outline above. \nAbout Sarah McCue \nA well-known advocate for the innovative use of information and communication technologies in developing countries\, Dr. Sarah McCue is the author of several technical books and social entrepreneur. \nShe is founder of BluWorld\, launched in collaboration with Google and Cisco Foundation to provide opportunities to youth in developing countries; co-founder of The Remembering Site\, a memoir-writing platform to write and preserve the stories of our elders; and is founder of Women with 2020 Vision to empower women through online mentoring\, initially funded by the Elon Musk Foundation. She has served the United Nations as manager of the United Nations Development Program Information and Communications Technology for Development practice; Panel of Advisers to the United Nations Global Alliance for Technology and Development; World Bank senior partnership adviser for the technology industry; senior adviser to the United Nations International Trade Centre as well as consultant to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development\, United Nations Industrial Development Organization\, and World Bank. She served as President of WorldQuant University\, a worldwide accredited master’s degree program in quantitative analytics\, and donates her time to serve on the Board of Directors of several emerging firms and organizations to bring innovative and transformative technology and online education opportunities to underserved regions\, and is currently chairperson of A Nobel Campaign to encourage awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to the founders of the Internet. An innovator and change agent at heart\, she is a team member recipient of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s 2014 Robert H. Goddard Honor Award for Quality and Process Improvement and the 2015 NASA Group Achievement Award. \n  \n

SUMMARY:(REF PC30) People Centered Internet and the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly the realization is dawning that digital technology is not serving us well\, when designed without regard to impact on people and planet. The concept of a People Centered Digital Future can come to the front and center of our collective effort to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Families\, neighbourhoods\, our homes and our communities are central to our dignity and well being as human beings throughout our lives\, from cradle to grave. The UN Digital Cooperation Roadmap calls for us to Connect\, Protect and Respect. And yes\, it’s going to be much harder to achieve the 2030 SDGs if we put on these essential constraints. The question of who is doing the designing can no longer be separated from our understanding of who is going to use the systems\, tools and services\, and whether digital helps us positively to flourish and thrive or negatively put us at risk and be depressed. “Not about Us Without Us” applies to women\, youth\, people with disabilities\, the vulnerable\, the overlooked and we must not forget the people who do not speak English\, whose connections are non existent or intermittent due to lack of electricity\, or suffer from hunger or thirst\, or lack of a place to call home. \nJust as Science Labs brought science to the mainstream of society\, and science labs in education increased scientific literacy. Community Living Learning Labs can now be used to design digital innovations that are fit for purpose and everyday use in the living rooms\, workplaces\, agricultural fields\, retail floors and factory floors. Community Digital labs in educational institutions will bring digital literacy accessible to all\, in a return of the one-room schoolhouse where the advanced learners teach the newcomers. The challenge we face is how can all countries and communities turn on headlights to see the road ahead\, instead of driving forward\, looking only in the rear view mirror. The volatility\, uncertainty of the newly globally connected world means the road ahead is no longer straightforward and increasingly challenging as digitization accelerates in all spheres of life\, around the planet.
