A conferência a que se refere a imagem teve lugar recentemente como se pode constatar. Ao vermos o programa não pudemos deixar de reparar nas matérias tratadas, algumas, a nosso ver, tão pouco refletidas no nosso País em ambiente  «Contabilidade e Contabilistas». Por exemplo:  «Technology Impact on Accounting»; «Integrated Reporting – Future of Reporting»;
«Taxation in the Disruptive Era – Challenges and Opportunities» ... Bom, mas basta olhar o mote global da ConferênciaAccountancy Profession: Convergence and Sustainability in Digital Era». Em resumo, inspirador.

«In today’s world, businesses face a unique set of challenges, from climate change and resource constraints to urbanization and technological innovation. However, corporate accounting has been slow to adapt.

«CORE SKILLS FOR PUBLIC SECTOR INNOVATION»



 

 
 

«To meet today’s public policy challenges – continued fiscal pressures, rising public expectations, more complex public policy issues – there is a crucial need to increase the level of innovation in the public sector. There is a fundamental need to increase the level of innovation within the public sector of OECD countries and EU states if they are to meet the challenges of the 21st century, a need which has only been increased by the fiscal pressures placed on many states by the 2008-9 crisis.

«Digital Skills»




Uma passagem (Pag. 3): «(...)Cyber-security and web/mobile development are the most important digital competencies today. “Big data” will top the list by 2018. Four out of ten (41%) respondents rank cyber-security and web/mobile development as the most important digital skills in their business today. Less importance is given to digital strategy (35%) and “smart products” (32%). However, this pecking order looks set to change, with 43% of executives believing that big data will be the top skillset in three years’ time. The shift towards big data was especially marked among manufacturing executives, as they try to excel in so-called Industry 4.0—the age of complex “cyber-physical” systems such as the Internet of Things and smart products. (...)».Um pequeno comentário: é interessante constatar que
as matérias focadas no excerto são tratadas em unidades curriculares do Ramo Gestão e Administração Pública do ISCAL devidamente inseridas (ou como enquadramento) nos sistemas de informação planeados e/ou praticados  nas Administrações Públicas portuguesas. Naturalmente, não se formam especialistas nestes domínios mas pretendemos preparar «bons interlocutores», mesmo despoletadores de iniciativas e ações em função de realidades concretas.

«THE FUTURE OF SKILLS /Employment in 2030»



 
 
«(...)
Recent debates about the future of jobs have mainly focused on whether or not they are at risk of automation. Studies have generally minimized the potential effects of automation on job creation, and have tended to ignore other relevant trends, including globalisation, population aging, urbanisation, and the rise of the green economy.
In this study we used a novel and comprehensive mixed method approach to map out how employment is likely to change and the implications for skills. We show both what we can expect and where we should be uncertain; highlighting likely dynamics in different parts of the labour market — from sectors like food and health to manufacturing.
The study challenges the false alarmism that contributes to a culture of risk aversion and holds back technology adoption, innovation, and growth; this matters particularly to countries like the US and the UK, which already face structural productivity problems.
By identifying the bundles of skills, abilities, and knowledge that are most likely to be important in the future,
as well as the skills investments that will have the greatest impact on occupational demand, we provide information that educators, businesses, and governments can use for strategic and policy-making purposes to better prepare us for the future. (...)». Leia na integra.

«Are robots taking our jobs?»




«In recent years, there has been an explosion of research into the impacts of automation on work. This makes sense: artificial intelligence and robotics are encroaching on areas of human activity that were simply unimaginable a few years ago.
We ourselves have made contributions to this debate (here, here and here). In The Future of Skills, however, we argue that public dialogues that consider automation alone are dangerous and misleading.(...)». Continue a ler.

«Fostering Innovation in the Public Sector»



«Public sector innovation does not happen by itself: problems need to be identified, and ideas translated into projects that can be tested, implemented and shared. To do so, public sector organisations must identify the processes and structures that can support and accelerate innovation. This report looks at how governments can create an environment that fosters innovation. It discusses the role of government management in inhibiting or enabling innovation, and the role that specific functions such as human resources management and budgeting can play. It suggests ways to support innovation – including by managing information, data and knowledge – as well as strategies for managing risk. Drawing on country approaches compiled and analysed by the OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation, the report presents a framework for collecting and examining data on the ability of central government to foster public sector innovation».

«Accountants Can Save the Planet»






«This short book addresses the very important topic of how to save the planet, and it presents the ways in which progress on that goal is compatible with businesses creating value for themselves.
The book also highlights the importance of companies issuing financial reports not as financial statements, but as a method of reporting their value measurement and creation, using an integrated approach to include capitals beyond just the financial. Author Mervyn King also suggests that the most appropriate people to lead the charge are accountants, specifically Chief Financial Officers, who King says should be renamed Chief Value Officers».

«Democracy Reinvented»




«Democracy Reinvented is the first comprehensive academic treatment of participatory budgeting in the United States, situating it within a broader trend of civic technology and innovation. This global phenomenon, which has been called “revolutionary civics in action” by the New York Times, started in Brazil in 1989 but came to America only in 2009.  Participatory budgeting empowers citizens to identify community needs, work with elected officials to craft budget proposals, and vote on how to spend public funds».

LEONEL FADIGAS | «Território e Poder - o uso, as políticas e o ordenamento»






«O território é uma realidade geográfica e cultural definida como um espaço sobre o qual se exerce um qualquer tipo de poder e no qual se estabelecem redes que o formatam, consolidam e expandem.
O território, na sua natureza física e geográfica, é, também, um produto do tempo, dos conflitos, das lutas e das dinâmicas sociais e políticas que lhe foram dando dimensão e novas configurações, de acordo com o conhecimento, as regras de uso e as técnicas de aproveitamento e transformação dos materiais, o que faz com que seja o reflexo da sociedade que o define, formata, usa e domina, sendo, pois, uma efetiva expressão dos poderes que sobre ele se exercem e exerceram.
As relações de poder que o território exprime e nele se manifestam dão sentido à ideia de que o ordenamento e a gestão do território não são questões exclusivamente técnicas; são, em muito, questões políticas, no sentido mais puro do termo, e como tal nelas se devem fazer sentir, crescentemente, as vozes da cidadania.
Assim, este livro destina-se a todos os leitores a quem as questões do ordenamento interessam por razões profissionais ou porque delas depende a sua qualidade de vida: arquitetos, urbanistas, geógrafos, economistas, políticos e, sobretudo, cidadãos interessados em participar na construção de um território mais coeso, mais sustentável e onde a economia seja mais humana e mais social».

«Solved! Better pupil discussion in the classroom»



«Summary
It is now increasingly common practice for teachers to record themselves teaching as a way of reflecting upon their practice, but what about recording the pupils themselves? Our recent report showed how important it is that students do more collaborative problemsolving at school to get them ready for work. Yet despite strong evidence for its impact, it is rarely taught in schools. At Nesta we want to support collaborative problem-solving (CPS) practice in the classroom. Over the next year we’ll be supporting four pioneering innovators in the field to create new tools and test them with students. In 2016 we embarked on the first of these four experiments, a small-scale exploratory pilot with Harris Academy, Battersea.  Our approach was simple and inexpensive, using dictaphones to produce transcripts in order to examine their effectiveness as a tool for developing pupils’ problem-solving discussions. We worked both UK Transcription and AI Media who were able to turn around recordings in just a few days and The University of Melbourne for help with coding them. (...)».
