💫 This week marked the official end of the 1st edition of the ESG Women Leaders Academy - Akademia Liderek ESG - run by the Fundacja im. Lesława A. Pagi🏆Wikimedia Polska was a content partner of the Academy. 🎉 I congratulate the organizers and the graduates - an excellent program has been created that equips capable women with the essential competencies needed to make #ESG topic even more present in the market ❗ ✅ During my recent meeting with the participants of the Academy I talked about the power of the Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia brand, the enormous reach of Polish Wikipedia, and how important it is for experts like the program participants to be actively involved in expanding the pool of free knowledge through #Wikimedia on the #ESG topic. ➡ We need high-quality #entries, #sources and #data - Wikipedia is used by millions of Poles, so we have an obligation to provide them with reliable, verified #knowledge. And who better to codify it and add it to the Polish Wikipedia/Wikimedia if not ESG leaders? I would like to thank Paulina Paga eMBA for inviting me to the project, and Jolanta Drzewakowska for her amazing involvement in the recruitment process, promotional support of the program and participation in the Academy's closing event. 👏 We look forward to the next edition! #ESG #Paga #wikimediapolska #wikipedia #wikimedia #women #leaders #acedemy #leadership #education #environment #social #governance #sustainability #sustainabledevelopment

Yesterday Eurelectric and Polish Electricity Association in Brussels organised an insightful discussion on challenges related to sustainable finance with participation of top experts. Thank you for invitation and opportunity to contribute to this conversation. These are my personal takeaways:   - Sustainable finance and reporting impact entire value chains, not only companies directly targeted by law. - Its implementation is resource-heavy, requiring significant financial investment and expertise. - Sustainability reporting requires significantly more data than financial reporting and involves the whole company, making it a team effort. - Additional sustainability requirements like Forced Labour Regulation, anti-deforestation rules, CBAM, etc. add complexity. - Corporate sustainability should go beyond mere compliance effort and be part of business strategies and CEO thinking, but this is still a work in progress. - Support for effective implementation is key to ensure internalization of new rules. Recommendations: - Adopt a basic, free standard for smaller companies, well-promoted, explained and accepted by the market. EFRAG’s efforts in this area are promising.  - Focus on data quality and comparability.  - Consolidate all sustainability requirements and ensure interoperability with other standards.  - Address differences in methodological assumptions.  - Public authorities, especially at the Member State level, need to provide continuous guidance and support; however, avoid fragmentation. - Transition plans are important as they are showing where a company is headed, not just its current status.  - They are regulated in various laws and more guidance is needed. EFRAG's work on this is encouraging. Thank you Patrick de Cambourg Jelena Macura Stanislaw Cichocki Martin Račan Serge Colle Johannes Imminger Rebecca Gualandi Marianna Nathanail Lothar Rieth Marcin Laskowski Max Schneider Matthew Reed Forward Global #sustainablefinance #corporatesustainability #Taxonomy #CSRD

Full Steam Ahead: Business & Science Poland Preps for New EU Agenda & Polish EU Presidency   While we await the European Parliament to give the new European Commission the thumbs up and - as a result - the work on new legislative acts to be set into motion, October marked the month when #BSP started at full speed to promote our members’ views at the EU level. As our newsletter aims to serve as a regular source of updates on BSP’s activities and policy developments, you will find a quick overview below. There are a lot of topics on our agenda and the timing couldn’t be better to get the operations in full swing. With #competitiveness being the name of the game now, topics like #CleanIndustrialDeal, #EUCompetitivenessFund, and #ImplementationDialogues are topping the list of topics we will focus on in the coming weeks and months. Our goal is simple: ensure Polish business has a voice in shaping Europe’s future. In addition, as Poland’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union approaches, we are working around the clock to prepare for this period. With Poland stepping into the EU spotlight, this is a unique opportunity to champion our economy and values on a broader stage. Expect a full lineup of BSP activities to support this mission as we are ready to seize this moment for Poland, bringing bold ideas and a determined voice to the EU table. With October behind us, we’re looking ahead to November. Mark your calendars for updates on policy and BSP initiatives. It’s a fast-moving process, so stay tuned to our channels to keep up with the latest plans.

HOW TO HAVE MORE WATER IN A COUNTRY WITH A WATER SHORTAGE One of the biggest water management campaigns in Slovakia was the campaign for the Blue alternative to the Tichý Potok dam. The campaign to save the historic communities that were to be displaced ended successfully. Against the background of this campaign, an alternative was born not only for ecosystem protection and restoration of water resources, but also for a climate alterntive. It turns out that water management and the protection of entire territories against climate change exist. It is several times cheaper, more efficient and does not cause conflicts. The Slovak Daily news Postoj brought an extensive report from this area. It is in Slovak, but who is interested can use AI to translate Veronika Verešová's article under the title "Alternative to the Tichý Potok water reservoir/How to ensure an abundance of water without building dams" (https://lnkd.in/ehhzeSGt ensure-abundance-of-water-without-building-dams)

WE CAN MOBILIZE US SO THAT WATER DOESN'T HARM US? In 2002, Central Europe experienced floods. Slovak film documentary filmmaker Katarína Začková, inspired by the book WATER FOR THE THREE MILLENNIUM (People and Water, 2000), made the film THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS A FAILURE (2005). What Central Europe has been experiencing for the last 4 days is explained in detail in this film. In the film, there are synchros from the tragic floods in Romania, where I am at the moment. 20 years have passed since then, and the ice has moved, albeit slowly. In Romania, at the working meeting of the LAND4CLIMATE consortium (www.land4climate.eu), we are dealing with examples of good land use practice, as explained in the film. We need to mobilize all owners of any piece of land to keep the rainwater where it falls and not send it to the neighbors. Can you help? https://lnkd.in/e4jXD3sZ

'Ender's Game' is an example of the Agile strategy 💣 Prove me wrong 😂 A couple of years ago, I was invited to speak at an ITCORNER (https://itcorner.org.pl/) online event. Little did I know that my conversation with Maciej Gawlik, one of the attendees & organizers, would lead to a lasting friendship and a shared passion for Lean thinking. Maciek and Przemyslaw Skrzek, the founders of LeanSpin, reached out to me after the event. We quickly discovered a shared vision for building companies based on lean principles, focused on strategy, and deeply committed to empowering people during organizational transformation. It clicked - we were kindred spirits! Over the past couple of years, we've collaborated on a few projects and spent countless hours (yes, those who know me know I talk a lot XD) discussing everything from the future of Agile to the finer points of strategic implementation. You can read more about the 'Agile Transformation' book I also contributed here: https://lnkd.in/djUd2paT A couple of months ago, Maciek and Przemek invited me to be part of their LeanSpin newsletter. I was thrilled to share my thoughts on strategy in a recent interview with Maciek, discussing the importance of Lean thinking and its application to building successful businesses. It's been incredibly rewarding to watch our business partnership blossom into a (business) friendship. LeanSpin's dedication to helping businesses succeed through strategic thinking aligns perfectly with my own philosophy. If you're curious about the key ingredients of a successful strategy and why I believe Ender's Game is a great example of the perfect Agile strategy, check out our conversation with LeanSpin — simply subscribe to the newsletter and the interview will land in your email box: https://lnkd.in/dyyPfk6W #LeanThinking #Strategy #BusinessPartnership #Entrepreneurship #Agile #Leadership #WomenInTech

The Mutual Benefits of Ukraine’s Potential EU Membership The prospect of Ukraine joining the EU offers a win-win scenario for both sides. Dr. Alex Lissitsa and Prof. Alfons Balmann emphasize that Ukraine’s agricultural sector, with its impressive productivity improvements, can provide valuable insights to the EU. Membership would foster political and economic stability in Ukraine, benefiting the broader European agricultural landscape. Investing in infrastructure and adjusting EU agricultural policies to better align with large-scale farming needs are crucial steps forward. Let’s leverage this opportunity for mutual growth and innovation in agriculture. #Agriculture #EU #Ukraine #SustainableGrowth #EconomicStability For more insights, read the full article.

Two weeks ago we discussed creativity in the Creative Bloosoming workshop at Venture Café Warsaw Foundation. We managed to go through exercises that clarified the problem, generated solutions and prototyped them. Below I've outlined some of my key thoughts on the subject. For me and Ilona Skarbowska, the key to understanding what creativity is is that creativity is the art of... problem solving! Once we understand this, it becomes more accessible to us. To fully tap into its resources, it needs to be trained! What methods do you use to train your creativity?
