The social economy: Unlocking value and productivity through social technologies | McKinsey Global Institute | Technology & Innovation In a few short years, social technologies have given social interactions the speed and scale of the Internet. Whether discussing consumer products or organizing political movements, people around the world constantly use social-media platforms to seek and share information. Companies use them to reach consumers in new ways too; by tapping into these conversations, organizations can generate richer insights and create precisely targeted messages and offers. While 72 percent of companies use social technologies in some way, very few are anywhere near to achieving the full potential benefit. In fact, the most powerful applications of social technologies in the global economy are largely untapped. Exhibit Improved communication and collaboration through social technologies could raise the productivity of interaction workers by 20 to 25 percent. Enlarge Two-thirds of this potential value lies in improving collaboration and communication within and across enterprises.

Para que serve um muro de arrimo na construção | Blog da Engenharia Um muro de arrimo, ou parede de retenção, é uma estrutura de estabilização usada para segurar o chão inclinado no lugar e para evitar a erosão e o movimento do solo, especialmente em atividades na construção civil. Uma parede de retenção deve ser substancial e resistente na estrutura de modo a acomodar e redistribuir a pressão causada pela inclinação do solo. O muro é normalmente projetado com orifícios de infiltração, que permitem recolher a água subterrânea antes de ela escapar. Vários materiais diferentes podem ser usados para construir uma parede de retenção. Erguer uma parede de retenção pode ter uma série de passos ou fases, o que permite um design mais atraente, bem como mais eficiente no controle da erosão. Pedras grandes e dormentes foram muitas vezes utilizados para construir um muro em camadas de retenção no passado. Via Manutenção & Suprimentos

How to transform a cause-driven organisation into a social business The transformation into a social business is key to survival for cause-driven organisations. Photograph: Toby Melville/REUTERS Social business was a term first coined by Muhammad Yunus to describe cause-driven businesses whose success is measured by their social rather than financial impact. Social businesses differ from social enterprises in that they are genuinely self-sufficient and do not rely on grants and philanthropy to deliver social impact. The social business of today has evolved from being solely based on the cause, to being profit driven as well. This philosophy is evident in many leading social sector organisations, including Catch22, a 200-year-old national charity that supports young people and vulnerable adults in transforming their lives, and the London Early Years Foundation (LEYF), a London wide social enterprise that works to ensure that children have the best start in life.
