Resultado de imagen para Social Entrepreneurship

About applying practical, innovative and sustainable approaches to benefit society in general, with an emphasis on those who are marginalized and poor.

A term that captures a unique approach to economic and social problems, an approach that cuts across sectors and disciplines grounded in certain values and processes that are common to each social entrepreneur, independent of whether his/ her area of focus has been education, health, welfare reform, human rights, workers' rights, environment, economic development, agriculture, etc., or whether the organizations they set up are non-profit or for-profit entities.


It is this approach that sets the social entrepreneur apart from the rest of the crowd of well-meaning people and organizations who dedicate their lives to social improvement.

Mauro Libi Crestani: Corporate sustainability is a task for all

The current trend is that more and more workers and professionals prefer to join companies with social and environmental commitment. They are more satisfied.
 In fact , 50 percent of employees  responded on a survey that stated that if they had the opportunity, would have opted for one of these companies' "green".

Working in such companies apparently encourages workers with this new vision.
Sustainable organizations would be those in which both employees and the organization are committed to environmental defense and environmental  responsibility.

But the key is to define what is meant by sustainability, it is important to know why and how you can collaborate on the issue with concrete initiatives.

As a way can be the formation of an environmental committee to open channels for workers to effectively join the substantive company efforts aimed at sustainability.
And the question goes beyond the simple desire to boost "green" in their daily lives and at home, but to understand how the company for which they work can join the fight in terms of eco-efficiency. a guide is required in this regard that paute how employees can participate beyond statements to collaborate with the commitment to establish a corporate sustainability strategy.

Also establish a rewards program in which the company is committed to sustainability requires management infrastructure, which results in the set and define a clear business vision, goals and objectives.

We must not forget that this is business, so alongside the objective of achieving sustainability is that of achieving profitability.

 The goal of sustainability must have the firm and decisive senior management for decision-making that strung the issue and allocation of resources to achieve support. The rewards program would be aimed at recognizing the efforts and strengthen the commitment to join with initiatives aimed at the twin objectives of sustainability and profitability.

It is required to publicize what the expectations are and how progress will be measured, so you have to define the roles and responsibilities, education and training in sustainability to clarify the technical and business skills.

 Similarly there are set the way the company will measure progress in meeting the goals, innovation and project management.

Thus, it is imperative that workers are involved in the planning and implementation of policies and sustainability projects.

Forming functional teams for training and support; as well as improvement and review of environmental and social issues that are aimed at developing best practices; encourage workers to commit to sustainability and reward effective efforts to reach it.

The purpose and goals of sustainability of a company are useless if not supported and unrestricted commitment of workers. Without them, half the battle is lost.

Mauro Libi: Frimaca and innovative solution in Venezuela


Frimaca is a very important company in Venezuela that has the objective of offering refrigeration services to their customers. This company has been getting really good enhancements when it comes to technology, they do have FasTrax technology, which is good to preserve food under certain temperatures which are surely good when it comes to have a cold temperature. The company also counts with a very important amount of Drive in racks which are useful, so that more products can be stored in more than 3000 different positions! That is a lot and it is certainly convenient, so that the job can be done in a very efficient way.

There is also a good parking lot where the wagons can easily move without that much effort. The importance of the space is that by having the wide parking lot, it will be a lot easier for the drivers to maneuver, so that there are not any trouble when it comes to the transportation whether there are wagons entering or going out.

Frimaca has not only good technology, but also good intentions. This company has developed so quickly that they have been able to even build a home for children. This is a good sign of the fact that this company will keep going further and getting stronger. It is necessary that more companies take these kinds of initiatives, so it can be evidenced that getting a nice and well developed company also can imply helping those ones who have nothing.


These children were mostly abandoned by their families and they certainly didn’t have any chance to have a normal life since they wouldn’t have been able to make them by themselves. However, Mauro Libi, the CEO of Frimaca, didn’t leave them alone, he built that home for children which name is Casa Hogar Al Fin.

Mauro Libi: Tips to be successful in business


To succeed in business today, you need to be flexible and have good planning and organizational skills. Many people start a business thinking that they'll turn on their computers or open their doors and start making money - only to find that making money in a business is much more difficult than they thought. You can avoid this in your business ventures by taking your time and planning out all the necessary steps you need to reach to achieve success said an article wrote by Chris Seabury. 

1. Get Organized
To be successful in business you need to be organized. Organization will help you complete tasks and stay on top of things to be done. A good way to do this is to create a to-do list each day - as you complete each item, check it off your list. This will ensure that you're not forgetting anything and you're completing all the tasks that are essential to the survival of your business.

2. Keep Detailed Records
All successful businesses keep detailed records. By keeping detailed records, you'll know where the business stands financially and what potential challenges you could be facing. Just knowing this gives you time to create strategies to overcome the obstacles that can prevent you from being successful and growing your business.

3. Analyze Your Competition
Competition breeds the best results. To be successful, you can't be afraid to study and learn from your competitors. After all, they may be doing something right that you can implement in your business to make more money.

4. Understand the Risks and Rewards
The key to being successful is taking calculated risks to help your business grow. A good question to ask is "What's the downside?" If you can answer this question, then you know what the worst-case scenario is. This knowledge will allow you to take the kinds of calculated risks that can generate tremendous rewards for your business.

5. Be Creative
Always be looking for ways to improve your business and to make it stand out from the competition. Recognize that you don't know everything and be open to new ideas and new approaches to your business.

6. Stay Focused
The old saying that "Rome was not built in a day" applies here. Just because you open a business doesn't mean that you're going to immediately start making money. It takes time to let people know who you are, so stay focused on achieving your short-term goals and give the rest time to come together on its own.

7. Prepare to Make Sacrifices
The lead-up to starting a business is hard work, but after you open your doors, your work has just begun. In many cases, you have to put in more time than you would if you were working for someone else. In turn, you have to make sacrifices, such as spending less time with family and friends in order to be successful.

8. Provide Great Service
There are many successful businesses that forget that providing great customer service is important. If you provide better service for your customers, they'll be more inclined to come to you the next time they need something instead of going to your competition.

9. Be ConsistentConsistency is key component to making money in business. You have to consistently keep doing the things necessary to be successful day in and day out. This will create long-term positive habits that will help you make money over the long term.

Conclusion

Starting and running a successful business can be rewarding and challenging. Success requires focus, discipline and perseverance. However, success will not come over night - it requires a long-term focus and that you remain consistent in challenging environments. Investopediahttp://www.investopedia.com/

Mauro Libi: How do we move from crisis to control?

An article wrote by Michael Stanleigh give us a guide for driving into the crisis and controls the situation. Here you have the list of steps.

1. Accept that change is a process
First, recognize that change is a process and to move from crisis to control, we must follow the process. We must engage everyone in the change. It is not complex but it is a journey.There were a number of sub-committees identified:

2. Move forward step by step
When companies strive to restructure or gain greater efficiency, experts warn that moving too quickly or failing to carefully implement changes can be detrimental to the process and ultimate result. But in the words of John Kotter, “Skipping steps creates only the illusion of speed and never produces satisfactory results” and “Making critical mistakes in any of the phases can have a devastating impact, slowing momentum and negating hard-won gains.

3. Assess potential risks and generate motivation


First, executives or other players in the organization need to assess potential risks and stir up a sense of urgency among workers and stakeholders in order to generate the motivation to spur change within the firm. However, this sense of urgency has to be strong enough and perpetuated by outside analysts, consumers, and other voices in order to propel change forward.

4. Form a powerful guiding coalition
Once change is identified as the best solution to market share, profit losses, or other catalysts, leaders throughout the organization have to band together to guide the transformation process, and these leaders can include board members, consumers, union leaders, executives, chairmen, and others.


5. Create a shared vision for corporate change
The group then coalesces to create a shared vision for corporate change, and this vision should go beyond the normal five-year forward looking plan generated at most firms annually and be easily communicated and clear. A clear vision should also include transformation steps that are coordinated and propel the organization toward the overall goal, and these visions should be communicated in not only words and speeches, but also actions of managers, supervisors, and executives. The transformation of a company should also include short-term goals that can be tracked to show executives and workers that progress is being made toward the ultimate vision and that the long journey will be worth it, even in spite of short-term job cuts for instance. Experts warn, however, that transformations can take between five and 10 years to complete, and should not be declared as complete until the company culture has transformed to meet the vision. Leaders will know to tackle other processes and structures reflecting the old culture of the firm and to engrain the new behaviors and procedures into workers in order to make the change complete.

6. Communicate that vision
Leadership should estimate how much of the vision is needed, and then multiply that effort by a factor of ten. A transformation effort will fail unless most of the organization understand, appreciate, commit and try to make the effort happen. The guiding principle is simple: use every existing communication channel and opportunity.


7. Empower others to act on the vision
Remove obstacles there may be to getting on with change. This entails several actions. Allocate budget money to the new initiative and free up key people from existing responsibilities so they can concentrate on the new effort. Allow people to start living the new ways and make changes in their areas of involvement. Nothing is more frustrating than believing in the change but then not having the time, money, help or support needed to effect it.

8. Plan for and create short-term wins
Real transformation takes time therefore; the loss of momentum and the onset of disappointment are real factors. Actively plan to achieve short-term gains which people will be able to see and celebrate. This will provide proof that efforts are working and adds to the motivation to keep going.Once change is identified as the best solution to market share, profit losses, or other catalysts, leaders throughout the organization have to band together to guide the transformation process, and these leaders can include board members, consumers, union leaders, executives, chairmen, and others.

9. Consolidate improvement and keep the momentum for change moving
A premature declaration of victory can kill momentum, allowing the powerful forces of tradition to regain ground. Keep in mind that new approaches are fragile and subject to regression. Use the feeling of victory as the motivation to delve more deeply into the organization: to explore changes in the basic culture, expose the systems relationships of the organization that need tuning, and to move people committed to the new ways into key roles.

10. Institutionalize the new approaches
At the end of the day, change sticks when it seeps into the bloodstream of the corporate body and becomes “the way we do things around here.” This requires a conscious attempt to: show people how the new approaches, behaviours and attitudes have helped improve the organization and when the next generation of leaders believe in and embody the new ways.
