Performances sociales : des outils au service de la mise en œuvre Vous entendez beaucoup parler de la Gestion de la Performance Sociale (GPS), mais vous ne savez toujours pas ce que ça recouvre exactement ? Vous avez du mal à vous y retrouver dans les nombreuses initiatives existantes ? Le Groupe de travail sur la performance sociale (Social Performance Task Force ou SPTF) met à disposition de nouveaux outils sur les pratiques essentielles en matière de gestion de la performance sociale des institutions de microfinance. Rappel sur les standards universels et présentation des outils disponibles. Les standards universels de gestion de la performance sociale La SPTF a abouti à la formulation des standards universels de gestion de la performance sociale à l’issue d’un long processus participatif à l’échelle du secteur. « La réalité du secteur à l’heure actuelle est qu’il y a beaucoup de bonnes intentions, mais pas d’accès aux mécanismes permettant de concrétiser ces intentions » Laura Foose, Directrice de la SPTF Voir un exemple : Le réflexe www.sptf.info
UX Design | CareerFoundry You might have recently been hearing a lot about this a cool design technique called “user experience design”. You might have also found that the term is a bit confusing, even after you researched it. I know exactly how you feel. 5 years ago, I was just like you. In truth, 5 years ago it should have been easy for me to understand what UX design is. I found myself digging through months of research, and learning contrary information from mixed sources over several years. And as CareerFoundry didn’t exist back then, I had trouble finding a mentor who would really walk through the answers to my questions. So after 5 years of research and work, I decided the internet was missing something: The definitive course on UX design process. I was eager to provide a solution to the problems I had myself while learning UX design. It’s turning that skill into a career. It’s about having the confidence in your abilities to call yourself a UX designer. Emil Lamprecht, UX Design Lead at CareerFoundry
