SOCIAL COMPANIES: USE OF TECHNOLOGY TO BE SUSTAINABLE.

in #promo-steem5 years ago (edited)

Most of the time, we create social programs through foundations and ONG, nowadays, there are many doors that have been opened through technology, receive donations for projects, etc., we think that the focus until now must be changed, from receiving donations, to be contributors of the ecosystem.

Steemit is a participatory social platform, but it also has the tools so that each project leader uses resources to be self-sustaining, and at the same time, be able to have the position to encourage other users.

An incredibly topical issue, that of ONG-Company relations at a time when international funds, local or donations, seem to be insufficient or for different reasons are diluted, compromising the sustainability of many organizations.

On more than one occasion, different NGOs in different countries ask how they do to connect with companies in that search for alliances that provide not only funds, but often professional training, perspective, etc.

Hence, the importance of creating an economic-solidary-sustainable model, of social projection without leaving aside the commitment and the general vision, we could have a company with a broad objective and allocate a part for this solidary ecosystem, where 70% of the production is for commercialization, 30% for charitable donations, and a part of the funds in small investments in cryptoactives.

One comes offering something to the table, if donations are received at the beginning, this should translate into future contributions. If you just look for money just because, that will not work. We must offer something that the other values and beyond that, there must be a unity of purpose. Having the disposition to connect with others and this involves going to business events, going to forums, reading what is happening in companies, being soaked of that business world, of the technological world and especially of the ecosystem where we are developing.

We have heard a lot lately about a new actor that generates social change. Until now we knew that private companies generate profits, but sometimes they look the other way when it comes to generating positive social impact. NGOs, on the other hand, fulfill this function, but often struggle to survive, because they are sustainable. Today a third actor in the game, social enterprises, work to generate a social impact while finding a way to generate benefits that make them sustainable.

Faced with this new reality, governments, private investors, foundations ... also begin to look at the panorama of the generation of social impact and its possible financing with different eyes. And it is that if the world changes fast, the world of philanthropy does not do it at any speed.


Do you think that social enterprises are the result of the inefficiency of NGOs and these can end up occupying the space that today live nonprofit organizations ?. These are some things that many authors agree, social enterprises do well about the reality of many ONGS:

They are not afraid of innovation

They develop programs that help them to self-finance

They know how to clearly communicate the reason of their existence

They have a clear vision (some organizations spend months trying to define their vision)

They know how to simplify, while NGOs are generators of their own complexity

What attracts the funding and support of foundations are their market-based strategies



Social enterprises should have perspective: How do I get a long-term win-win perspective ?. There are very short-sighted looks. I do this project with this person and it's over. It is about having a more systemic and more strategic look.

Be strategic It is about bringing the actors that one needs to the organization. For example, get a volunteer, or trainees or invent partnerships with management masters that can help you advance your mission. You have to be creative to attract the staff that is required. The subject I do not have money can not be an excuse. You can create good alliances that are truly win-win if you make the effort to find the options.

If the blockchain technology arrived to revolutionize the digital era, then we have enough tools to be active protagonists in the transformation of a community, country or nation, that translates into freedom.

Social businesses go much further than just accumulating personal wealth. Social businesses take a step "Human", to achieve one or more social objectives through the operation of the company, more than just the personal benefit or the desired by investors. The business must cover all costs and obtain benefits, at the same time, in order to achieve the social objective. Objectives such as; fair wages for the increase of productivity.
The success of social businesses is measured by the impact of activity and quality of life on people, rather than the amount of money accumulated. Clarifications about social business. This new concept of course contemplates obtaining benefits on the condition that the benefit is maintained in the company, the owners, investors or shareholders will obtain personal profit just equivalent to the investment. It brings a new dimension to the business world, and a new sense of social awareness among the business community. If some of these goals can be achieved more efficiently and sustainably in a (social) business format, then why not take that path?



Let's clarify this: first of all, people are not being asked to give up their business, they only intend to use technology with purpose, and become entrepreneurs of our own destinies, stop being dependent on a system, be it political , economic, or social.

The idea of ​​"giving up something" creates a tremendous shock. The paradigm of creating social enterprises is not asking anyone to "renounce" anything. All you are saying is that if you are worried about a social problem (while totally dedicated to your business routine), you can make a significant contribution to solve the problem that involves us all. We could open the door to eliminate a problem worldwide. You choose. Reinvesting your money in your own company and making it grow, benefits everyone in the same company, from the doorman, to the owner, businessman, customers, the community, the region, the country and even the entire planet. Then you will have made a contribution to humanize the economy that lost its way long ago by the greed of people. Technology with purpose is the slogan, THE HUMAN BEING IS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

In the case that concerns us, it is a general company dedicated to the design of exclusive clothes for ladies, this company will have as part of social responsibility, a brand of solidarity to support children in crisis and social reisgos in Venezuela, also promote the inclusion of these children in special conditions, such as children with cancer, autism, down syndrome, children in normal conditions, and children in street condition, all united for the same purpose.

They are the Social Enterprises, whose DNA they know that the world is not infinite and that they are watching carefully new routes to move forward responsibly and with justice. "The richest 20% of the population consumes 80% of the resources and 20% The poorest consume 1.6% of resources. We not only speak of a problem of injustice but of inefficiency in distributive terms ".
When we talk about social economy today, we are referring to new management models and new business models. "So the most appropriate concept is to talk about social enterprise, how do we organize ourselves so that companies and organizations like us know them today, get involved and take responsibility? Responsible not only from a profitability point of view, but to involve different Stakeholders, such as the environment, or the community in global terms ", this has evolved with a new level of business commitment, which can be seen reflected in the incorporation of CSR concepts in large companies such as Nestlé or Cocacola, as in the emergence of important current, such as the Economy of the Common Good. "That tells us that companies nowadays have to measure themselves not only through the balance financial but of the balance of the common good, where the profitability or financial success that we consider today, is only an element for the global success of the company ". Jorge Cea Valencia, head of the career of commercial engineering at the Universidad del Pacifico .

Inclusive business, a concept to apply.

It is the most modern tendency of responsibility, it means to include the social in the development of the business. For example, in the topic of employment, the company should include those people who need it most, such as people with disabilities, mothers who are heads of household, young people at risk.

To this end, it proposes training aimed at providing inputs and services to companies. "They need dust covers, they can buy it at a sewing workshop, if they need some food, cleaning, they can resort to social enterprises.

Finally and most importantly, educational training, which will be one of the approaches to citizen training for the creation of awareness of the responsibility that each and every one has for the strengthening of this paradigm. At the university level, these courses are already being incorporated, which allows a paradigm shift, but it is not enough. Super technicians, engineers, doctors are trained, but the formation of citizens is lacking.

Preventive measures to care for the environment The use of the blockchain will be established as a technology with purpose, and to empower leaders in action to form their own companies, in a self-sustaining model through efficient resource management.

"If society improves, it will improve the performance of the company. You can not be happy alone, I can not do well in the middle of a failed society "
