Abstract:

PurposeTo create a starting point for defining the processes of leading and managing in a way that enables both the separation and distinction of the concepts for study as well as the integration of the concepts for practical application.Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws on research that describes specific behaviors involved in leading and in managing; and it proposed a model that might be used to think about the integration of the two processes – leading and managing. The paper further describes the specific competencies involved in both leading and in managing.FindingsThe paper suggests that the current literature is particularly confusing as a result of the lack of agreement and specificity regarding the nature of the processes of leading and managing. The literature suffers from a proliferation of “spin off” forms of leadership – such as strategic leadership, entrepreneurial leadership, etc. – as well as from using the two terms as replacements for each other.Originality/valueThis discussion should further the research on the study of leadership competencies and leadership behaviors. It should also prove useful to those wishing to develop leadership development programs, leadership selection criteria, and more.

Abstract:

The enclosed literature focuses on learning about the various generations of the workforce and techniques that employers can utilize to organize collaborative teams in todays multigenerational and multicultural workplaces. Trainers and teachers can use this material to provide effective skills for managers that deal with a multi-generation of employees. Furthermore, educators can use appropriate teaching techniques with different generations of students since teachers of working adults are likely to have diverse generations of learners in their classes. There are at least four different generations in todays workforce that are categorized as traditionalists (Veterans), baby boomers, generation X, and generation Y individuals. Managers should be aware of the personality characteristics of individuals in all generations as well as their cultural backgrounds, and act accordingly. The document further discusses how decision-making, for managers of any generation, is a very critical and time-consuming procedure, and how managerial decisions do affect the companys processes dramatically. Managers should always make certain, regardless of their personal interests, likes and dislikes, that their decisions are appropriate for each generation of employees and their organizations. Organizational learning, from a systems perspective, is discussed as an effective method of understanding the processes and strategies suitable for an organization. In order to create a learning organization, managers need to emphasize teamwork and practice group activities that effectively involve people of all generations in the decision making processes. Following the eight facets of Values Driven Management can guide and focus everyones energies toward the common vision set forth by the company. Besides dealing with a multi-generation of employees, international managers face an even more complex task since they also deal with various cultures. Hence, a multi-cultural manager should acquire appropriate cultural knowledge regarding the local norms, mores and customs to effectively work with individuals of different generations throughout the world.

Abstract:

PurposeThis study identifies three emerging approaches for leading successful digital transformation. It challenges the validity and effectiveness of traditional linear processes for digital transformation that first develop a new strategy, business model or organizational design enabled by digital technologies and then execute it according to the plan.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on current research with a group of global digital champions at the forefront of digital transformation, including Amazon, Alibaba, Baidu, Google, JD.com, Uber, VMWare and Slack.FindingsThe research finds that at least three new approaches are emerging in leading organizations, which are (1) innovating by experimenting, (2) radical transformation via successive incremental changes and (3) dynamic sustainable advantages through an evolving portfolio of temporary advantages.Research limitations/implicationsMore research is needed to systematically investigate such emerging approaches and develop new theories and new analytical frameworks.Practical implicationsThese emerging approaches can be used to guide digital transformation initiatives.Social implicationsThey also enable business leaders to tackle grand societal challenges using financially sustainable and scalable operational models, generating profit and impact at the same time.Originality/valueIt challenges traditional linear approaches for leading digital transformation and highlights the need for new and iterative approaches for bridging the strategy–execution gap in the volatile digital economy.

Abstract:

The prevalence of diabetes continues to increase worldwide, leading to a rising incidence of foot complications (neuropathy, angiopathy ulcus, infections). In the prevention of the diabetic foot complications the correct diagnosis of the actual conditions is essential, because the infected foot ulcers can lead to amputations of the lower extremities. Diabetic foot ulcers and infections are treated with daily wound care, antimicrobial therapy, surgical treatment, off-loading processes, hospitalization and rehabilitation. These processes are associated with high health care costs. In this paper the basic principles of prevention, classification and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers are summarized based on the publication of the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF).

Abstract:

Managers face various challenges and difficulties at work, especially in dealing with changes. The adverse events can be compounded when personal problems also put additional pressure on the manager. The compassionate leader can function to alleviate the stress. This study shows how leading with compassion, where leaders are sensitive to problems, feeling those difficulties, and are motivated to help. By referring to the positive organization literature, aspects, and processes of compassion in organizations are disclosed. Likewise, how compassionate leaders increase the attention and understanding, empathize with the needs of managers and their future are also explained. Furthermore, leaders can also be present in the various policies that they create. This study is useful for making leadership effective, especially in managing organizational change.

Abstract:

The method of researching the development of an innovative enterprise suggested in the paper shows two possible ways to perform it: firstly, when the Competitiveness Commission regulates the excess profits to avoid ageing of existing businesses, and secondly, when the process takes place without any interference, leading to accumulation of fictitious capital and avoidance of obsolescence. The methods allow calculating the pace of these processes. The method of researching the possible negative consequences of corporate innovative development is suggested. The following two elements are the methodological basis of the suggested method: development of the formalized economic conceptual framework and construction of generalizing model of technical change by Hicks, Harrod, and Solow. Classical technical change models were developed in the framework of production functions methodology based on the research of three main factors – capital and labor inputs, and output. The suggested conceptual framework largely eliminates these shortcomings. The use of formalized economic categories fundamentally changes the opportunities of modeling the production and financial-economic processes due to emerging opportunities to transfer from exogenous parameters and processes to consideration of their endogenous properties. One of the possible approaches to establishing the causes of fictitious capital accumulation and obsolescence of fixed assets of enterprises due to innovative activity in the singled-out conditionally closed system (industry, market, etc.) is outlined. The conditions and causes leading to the emergence of financial crises when fictitious capital grows by a significant amount are shown. The nature of the “dichotomy (duality)” of an innovative process is specified – the interests of an enterprise do not meet the public interests, so the country has to prevent the conditions of financial crisis emergence.

Abstract:

Nowadays, healthcare service organizations have been using Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) for managing innovation to create new products, services and business processes. This paper is intended to demonstrate the effectiveness of DFSS on managing innovation in healthcare service organizations. The research is conducted on five leading US healthcare service organizations. Furthermore, roadmap for managing innovation is proposed. The result confirms that the DFSS strengthens two factors in managing innovation: (1) finding an innovative idea, (2) guiding and realizing an innovative idea. In addition, DFSS plays a critical role in shifting paradigm from subjective to objective judgment. Moreover, DFSS provides a platform for strategic critical measurement.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to blend a resource-based view of the firm with the 5R Model of Organizational Identity Processes to offer a new Strategic Identity Management Framework to help organizations uncover, analyze and optimize their identity as a resource for creating sustainable competitive advantage. Design/methodology/approach This conceptual paper relied upon an examination of literature about sustainable competitive advantage, the resource-based view of the firm and the 5R Model of Organizational Identity Processes. Findings Synergies were found between the VRIO model and the 5R Model of Organizational Identity Processes. A new Strategic Identity Management Framework was created and a case study was used to illustrate its application. Research limitations/implications Research is needed to validate, confirm and extend the use and application of the new framework within organizations. Practical implications The framework is anticipated to be particularly useful for middle managers because they are tasked with translating high-level strategies into action and leading lower level employees toward enacting the new or adapted identity claims. Originality/value Although ample organizational identity research exists, a framework for assessing identity claims for the purpose of achieving competitive advantage was lacking.

Abstract:

Guided by the theoretical underpinnings of symbolic interactionism, this study set out to describe and analyse how stakeholders in a New Zealand Primary School understand effective school leadership, and how their meanings of leadership are influenced by the context in which they work. Review of the school leadership literature indicated that there was widespread agreement on the importance of leadership for school effectiveness but limited empirical data on how, or why, this was the case. To gain an understanding of stakeholders' meanings of effective leadership the study adopted a qualitative, case study design. Purposive, criterion-based selection was used to select a school considered to have highly effective leadership practices and to identify a cross-section of stakeholders within that school. The participants were the principal, Board of Trustees chairperson, assistant principal, teacher, general staff member, and student. Data were gathered from concept maps, semi-structured interviews and selected school documents such as the school's Education Review Office report and staff job descriptions. Data were analysed using grounded theory methods of analysis, specifically the use of constant comparison through open and axial coding. The findings of the study are presented and examined in terms of three theoretical propositions that encapsulate the stakeholders' meanings of effective school leadership. The first proposition examines three core values - concern for the individual, a commitment to learning, and an expectation of high performance - that permeated the school and influenced stakeholders' meanings and leadership practices. The second proposition examines the provision of direction, which involved articulation of a strong vision, use of symbols and ceremonies, modelling valued practices and beliefs, and raising the aspirations of staff and students. The third proposition examines leading and managing processes, which included the development of a team structure, leading and managing staff appointments and non-performance, managing communications, meetings and time, and providing opportunities for decision-making and leadership. Although considered in separate chapters, the three theoretical propositions are inter-related. The findings from this study highlight the importance of a set of core, common values for school leadership, confirm the role that leaders play in providing direction through a variety of symbolic activities, re-emphasise the need for studies of leadership to consider the context specific and people-based aspects of leadership, and confirm the place of teams in achieving a school's goals and reinforcing its values. The findings of the study also identify a need for team learning and development, and for a greater focus on values and beliefs in development programmes for principals. In addition, from both a theoretical and practical perspective, the findings establish a need for further research into the conception and practice of distributed leadership, and indicate that principals continue to play a central leadership role in self-managing, primary schools. The study's findings, thus, add to an at present limited base of empirical data on school leadership, and provide an insight into the perspectives of those involved in the leadership processes. Although the study's findings are based on a single school, in a particular context, the research design and methodology, including use of theoretical propositions, means the findings and conclusions generated from the study are pertinent to leadership theory, leadership research and leadership policy and practice in various contexts. The findings of this study are therefore likely to be of use to researchers of educational leadership, school principals, other school leaders, educational policy makers, and those designing and implementing professional learning programmes for principals and other school leaders.

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the experience of leadership. The aim throughout the thesis is to find ways of making sense of the idea of leadership by reference to the everyday routines of organisational life. The thesis is therefore preoccupied with the idea of "doing leadership" in the context of enacting specific job roles in organisations. Such an approach to studying leadership is in contrast with other possibilities that may be more theoretical or speculative in their view of what being in a senior leadership role in an organisation is actually like. I completed this thesis whilst working as a principal/CEO of two large inner city colleges in the tertiary sector of the UK. My thesis therefore reflects also the experience of enacting a leadership role bound up with the wider agenda of public service reform. In making sense of this context I apply and develop the idea of "performativity" as signifying a particular culture (rooted expectations, ways of working, generalised assumptions about practice) that are pervasive in public sector organisations. I explore the significance of this culture for the way in which those in leadership roles (and inter alia, their subordinates) experience identity. I suggest too that the cult of performance management makes contingent a pervasive sense of ontological insecurity for those working in political, administrative and organisational leadership roles enacted in this context. Against this background, I propose four key themes as a way of understanding what doing leadership in organisations entails: the administration of power and authority; the practice of ethics; an iconographic role of significance to others in an ongoing generalised process of identity formation; creative action. Finally, in reflecting upon the idea of leadership development, I argue that development should be understood as a movement in the emotional responsiveness (emotivity) of individuals to their situation and context. This I suggest arises from the practice of reflexivity. It is the ability to do this with rigour on the part of those in leadership roles that creates also new possibilities for an ethics of relating in organisations centred on the ideas of participation and emergence. The thesis comprises four project studies. The first is a reflective narrative account of how I came to join the DMan programme in 2002. The second explores issues of leadership relative to thinking about group processes and traditions of group analysis. The third study examines issues of identity as they emerge in the ways in which processes of power relating emerge in group interactions. The fourth study explores these same themes but in relation to the tensions that emerge in the interplay of norms and values informing human actions and conduct. The thesis includes a fifth study which focuses on issues of methodology and the significance of personal narratives of experience to a wider process of academic research. This thesis is explicitly one written by reference to a particular theoretical perspective. This perspective is best described by reference to the idea of complex responsive processes. I account for and describe this perspective in each of the project studies. It was with a view to working explicitly with this perspective that I joined the DMan programme. The work in this thesis is intended to constitute an active intellectual engagement with the idea of complex responsive processes. It is not the intention of the thesis simply to exemplify a fixed set of ideas. The thesis is therefore aiming also to be a contribution to the thinking of complex responsive processes as a set of ideas still in development. I remain committed to the view that the idea of complex responsive processes provides a powerful medium of critical ideas through which life in organisations and patterns of human relating can be understood. Whilst the thesis does not set out to justify a case for the idea of complex responsive processes, a recurrent theme is an exploration of the implications for understanding organisational life in general that arise from adopting the perspective of complex responsive processes relative to those presented by other traditions of thinking.

Abstract:

South Africa has gone through a myriad of curriculum changes to correct the imbalances brought about by apartheid education policies. The global changes in politics, economy, the green environment and advances in technology have made a huge impact on the effective implementation of curriculum change. Principals working in this dynamic environment need to study the internal and external context in which they are operating in order to adapt to the new situation. This study sought to examine school principals’ use of contextual intelligence in leading and managing curriculum change. The study is underpinned by the interpretivist worldview and a qualitative case study approach was followed in collecting data. The sample consisted of principals, deputy principals and heads of departments from six Tshwane East schools. The schools involved were three township schools and three former model C schools from Tshwane East. The schools were purposively selected to improve the credibility and transferability of the findings, and 30 participants were involved in the study. For triangulation purposes data were collected using semi-structured face-to-face and focus group interviews and document analysis. Data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis and the findings were analysed using a contextual intelligence leadership construct. The findings reveal that principals are aware of the contextual factors that influence curriculum implementation. However most principals are not making use of contextual intelligence to deal with the challenges in their contexts. The study recommends training for principals on how they can use contextual intelligence in leading and managing curriculum change. There is a clear need to involve all stakeholders in the formulation and implementation of curriculum change.

Abstract:

The management consulting industry is growing. The industryis also described as being exposed to increased pressure fromthe environment. An interesting question is then how resourcesare managed in management consulting firms in order tosustain competitive advantage. The purpose with this thesis isto investigate how firms in the management consulting industrymanage their resources through the lens of the resourcemanagement framework and if there are any signs of change.Through a multiple case study of the processes in two largemanagement consulting firms, the activity (i.e. the use ofresources) perceived as important for the leveraging ofcompetitive advantage is studied. The findings suggest thatcustomers have a much more central part in the resourcemanagement process than depicted in the resourcemanagement framework. The clearest signs of change refer tothe development of new career paths and an increased globalintegration of competencies.

Creativity places a more and more important role in organizations today. It is even said that creativity is critical for organizations and seen as a key factor in smaller firms. This thesis is investigating the environment through which leaders involved in creative organizations lead creative people and related issues. Thereof the research issue: “Investigating the environment through which leaders involved in creative organizations lead creative people and processes.” I have been inspired by the method Grounded Theory. The thesis is composed by both secondary- and primary data. Two interviews have been conducted with leaders involved in creative organizations. Further, made the leaders experience from the interviews and the theoretical framework it possible to draw some conclusions in understanding leading creative people and processes.

Abstract:

Peculiarities of business logistics are related to sustainable transferring processes, which has always been a mundane task of trade processes. The lack of obstruction of the constant flow of this operation causes disruption to the whole economy and can lead not only to the loss of the foremost profits but also negatively influence the sustainable business logistics development. In pursuance of a strong logistical basis, any business entity should have a variety of practices for managing projects of this kind. Unfortunately, recent scientific explorations overlooked the importance of sustainable project management factors, especially during the Covid-19 situation, and rarely focused on how the implementation of these projects changed in the business logistics over the past few years. Based on a scientific litera-ture review, a set of factors influencing sustainable business logistics projects management both externally and inter-nally was identified. Study results showed that external factors influencing sustainability were related to environmental expenditure, local procurement, and the presence of the market as well as the internal connecting reduced resource exploitation, strategy and project life cycle towards rendering effective business logistics projects for the companies operating mainly on third-party logistics (3PL) and ground transport basis.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Sharing knowledge enables employees, companies, and the broader industry to reflect on lessons learned from previous projects and increases confidence in predicting outcomes of future projects. The identification of how to become more efficient and how to measure improvements in efficiencies can be revealed when this process works efficiently. The author explores the concept of continuous improvement, by presenting newly developed processes and evaluating subsea intervention case histories in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Knowledge sharing exercises can often be overlooked by companies urgently progressing through multiple projects. Best case scenario, lesson learned activities are completed in after action reviews, yielding the product of cumbersome spreadsheets, which can be easily misplaced or forgotten over time. Hess has developed an application for lessons learned, along with a structured process to maintain data quality. Recent interventions have both contributed to capturing new learnings and implementing those already identified into the planning phase of upcoming operations. Time and cost estimation accuracy and operational efficiency initiatives were then evaluated and compared to identify the true value of an effective lessons learned system. Two coiled tubing (CT) interventions trialed Hess's new application and associated processes. The technical challenges of these projects were evaluated and compared to determine if effectively applying lessons learned could lead to continuous improvement. Observations demonstrated significant improvements to the accuracy of time and cost estimates along with enhanced operational performance, leading to time and cost savings. This practice has helped Hess to reduce the overall uncertainty typically associated with subsea well interventions and allowed for continuous improvement of well intervention performance. This paper explores the concept and implementation of an effective system to manage lessons learned to achieve improved operational performance and efficiency. Implementing lessons learned and comparing similar projects, allows an engineer to measure precisely the improvement in efficiency. The paper concludes with the evaluation of the impact an industry wide knowledge sharing database could have, and the potential value it could provide to operators in the GOM region.

Abstract:

If there is one thing all library administrators and managers can be sure of, it is that our space, our collections, our systems and our leadership will be impacted by change. Managing that change is critical if managers, directors, deans in our libraries will be able to continue to meet the needs of our communities with different tools and resources. This lively discussion will feature brief presentations about how libraries at Carnegie Mellon University and at Kresge Business Administration Library (University of Michigan) have changed in recent history. The presenters will include what worked well and what worked not as well at the two institutions. They will focus on two areas. First, Denise Novak will explore change through five key aspects: nature, process, role, culture and staff participation of change. Second, Corey Seeman will explore change as defined by six key terms: inevitability, rapidity, flexibility, hospitality, accountability, and empathy. Participants at the meeting will be invited to share how change is managed at their institutions and what issues might be present or on the horizon.

Abstract:

There are many types of coasts classifications that indicate main coastal features. As a rule, the "static" state of the coasts is considered regardless of their evolutionary features and ways to further transformation. Since the most part of the coastal zone studies aimed at ensuring of economic activity, it is clear that the classification of coast types should indicate total information required by the users. Accordingly, the coast classification should include the criterion, characterizing as dynamic features of the coast and the conditions and opportunities of economic activity. The coast classification, of course, should be based on geomorphological coast typification. Similar typification has been developed by leading scientists from Russia and can be used with minimal modifications. The authors propose to add to basic information (geomorphological type of coast) the evaluative part for each coast sector. It will include the estimation of the coast changes probability and the complexity of the coast stabilization for economic activity. This method will allow to assess the dynamics of specific coastal sections and the processes intensity and, as a result – the stability of the coastal area.

Abstract:

It is known that considerable part of living matter in the ocean falls out of biological cycle irretrievably by way of sedimentation. It means that quasi-stationary state of oceanic ecosystems is possible only with supply of mineral and organic matter from land. That supply, which includes also contaminating matter, takes place mainly in near-shore regions, concentrates in bottom boundary layers, and is transferred to the open sea via shelves by means of horizontal and vertical mixing. Effective mixing in shelves is carried out by small-scale processes, which are considerably fed by energy of large-scale processes from out-of-shelf regions. The main objective of our paper is to identify mechanisms of energy transfer from large to small-scale motions and from open sea to near-shore areas. Our experiments and observations in the shelf zone of the Sea of Japan revealed important specific features in stratified bottom boundary layers: 1) Temporal intermittence of internal waves (IW) in near-bottom layers and their transformation into sequences of stratified boluses moving in non-stratified medium. 2) Extremely high horizontal and vertical velocities in the near-bottom layers. 3) Considerable power fluctuations caused by correlated fluctuations of near-bottom pressure and velocity. 4) Non-monotonic vertical structure of temperature and velocity leading to possibility of simultaneous existing of IW breaking and secondary generation of high-frequency IW by turbulence in layers with high curvature of velocity profiles. Taking into account satellite observations of high correlation between chlorophyll-a concentration in coastal and in out-of-shelf waters, as well as dispersion relations for different types of internal waves and results of our field experiments we suggest that interconnection of biological parameters in coastal and in open sea waters is exercised substantially by gravitational and inertial internal waves generated by tides and eddies in the region of continental slope near the shelf boundary.

Full text

Abstract:

This Working Paper reports on a scoping study on the mechanisms and processes through which the Bangladeshi government listened to citizens’ needs and citizens held government accountable for its policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on an extensive review of selected literature; online and official data; and key informant interviews with 20 officials, media, and civil society actors, the paper explores the official and governmental mechanisms as well as non-state and informal mechanisms through which government listened to citizens’ concerns and answered for its actions. The paper first explains the rationale for the scoping study, situating accountability and responsiveness within the broader assessment of the governance of the pandemic. It then sets out the political context within which accountability and responsiveness mechanisms have been operating in Bangladesh: the political dominance of the Awami League has narrowed the space for critique, dissent, and independent civil society and media for nearly 15 years, but strong pressures to earn ‘performance legitimacy’ to some extent counteract the closure of civic space.

Abstract:

1 Introduction 1.1 The urgency of industrial decarbonization The last few years have seen several of the world’s largest carbon dioxide-emitting countries and leading heavy industry companies committing to mid-century net-zero targets (Buckley 2021; Denyer and Kashiwagi 2020; McCurry 2020; Myers 2020). Consequently, the discussion on economy-wide transition to net-zero is accelerating, with focus shifting from “if” to “when” and “how”, even for heavy industry sectors like steel, cement and chemicals. This makes it increasingly urgent to analyse not just whether it is technologically feasible to decarbonize heavy industry, but also investigate issues more directly related to practical implementation. This includes site-specific planning, infrastructure availability, and consultation with local authorities and other stakeholders. Many of the latter considerations are formalized as part of the permitting processes that are an essential vehicle to ensure that industrial interests are balanced against interests of society at large. However, doing this balancing act can turn out to be very complicated and associated with uncertainties as to their outcome, as well as being demanding in resources and time. At the same time, to ensure broad buy-in and support from society, the investments needed must be implemented in a way that takes a broad spectrum of sustainability concerns into account, not just climate change mitigation. A key question is if and how permitting processes can run more smoothly and efficiently while still ensuring inclusive consultations, fair procedures and adherence to legal certainty. This policy brief discusses this question from the starting point of Swedish conditions, but many of the points raised will be relevant for a broader international discussion on taking industrial decarbonization to implementation. 1.2 Industrial transition and permitting processes in Sweden Decarbonization of the industrial sector in Sweden essentially entails a relatively small number of investment projects in the cement, steel, petrochemical and refinery sectors, where the vast majority of carbon emissions are concentrated (Karltorp et al. 2019; Nykvist et al. 2020). However, while few in number, the size of these investments means that their implementation will by necessity become relevant to many other parts of society. In connection with the increasing focus on how to implement industrial decarbonization in Sweden, discussions about permitting processes have been brought higher up on the agenda. While there has been an active discussion on permitting processes in Sweden for quite some time, it has primarily been focused on aspects related to mining and wind power (Larsen et al. 2017; Raitio et al. 2020). The last few years have, however, focused increasingly on industrial projects, in particular related to a proposed – though eventually cancelled – expansion of an oil refinery in the southwestern part of the country (Blad 2020). In terms of political discussions, both the governmental initiative Fossil-free Sweden (2020) and the Swedish Climate Policy Council (2020) emphasize that permitting processes need to become faster in order for Sweden’s industrial transition to be implemented in line with the time plan set by the 2017 Swedish Climate Act. Business representatives and organizations are also voicing concerns about the slow speed of permitting (Balanskommissionen 2019; Jacke 2018). At the same time, criticism has been raised that much of the environmental damage done in Sweden comes from activities conducted within limits set by environmental permits, which could be a flaw in the system (Malmaeus and Lindblom 2019). Finally, recent public inquiries have also discussed permitting processes.

Full text

Abstract:

In its infrastructure development work, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) engages and collaborates with numerous local, state, and national stakeholders. Projects incorporating innovative approaches, such as beneficial use (BU) of dredged materials and other natural and nature-based features (NNBF), are often not well-understood by stakeholders, including those at the community level. This often results in conflicts and project delays. By sponsoring the development of a Community Engagement Framework, the Dredging Operations and Environmental Research (DOER) program hopes to systematically improve how project teams design, conduct, and measure effective community engagement on infrastructure projects. The purpose of this focused Review was to assesses leading stakeholder and community engagement practices that reflect the state of practice of stakeholder engagement within USACE, and by other leading organizations in the US and internationally, to inform development of the Community Engagement Framework. While the resulting Framework will be particularly well-suited for community engagement on projects incorporating BU and other NNBF, it will be applicable to a broad range of USACE Civil Works’ initiatives where effective stakeholder engagement is critical to project success. The assessment showed the practice of stakeholder engagement has evolved significantly over the past 30 years, with much more focus today on ensuring that engagement processes are purposeful, meaningful, collaborative, and inclusive - reflecting stakeholders’ desire to participate in co-creating sustainable solutions that produce environmental, economic, and social benefits. This, and other key findings, are informing development of the Community Engagement Framework which is scalable and adaptable to a broad range of projects across the USACE missions.

Abstract:

The EXPORTS North Atlantic field campaign (EXPORTS-NA) of May 2021 used a diverse array of ship-based and autonomous platforms to measure and quantify processes leading to carbon export in the open ocean. The success of this field program relied heavily on the ability to make measurements following a Lagrangian trajectory within a coherent, retentive eddy (Sections 1, 2). Identifying an eddy that would remain coherent and retentive over the course of a monthlong deployment was a significant challenge that the EXPORTS team faced. This report details the processes and procedures used by the primarily shore-based eddy tracking team to locate, track, and sample with autonomous assets such an eddy before and during EXPORTS-NA.
