Getting a broader perspective on
Developing a broad perspective at work means taking time to observe situations from multiple perspectives. Insights that others cannot imagine will help you find a solution that will satisfy everyone. When you have a broad perspective, you are irreplaceable. Here are three activities that can help you develop your perspective. Each one is unique and requires different time and effort. You might have to repeat the activity twice, or you could try different methods.
Taking a broader perspective on innovation
In this article, we'll examine innovation from a broader perspective. This approach focuses on the role of the state in generating innovations and fostering a competitive nation. It focuses on the role of the state as a high-level risk-taker that fosters innovation. But, what are the implications of such a framework? How can it improve the design of a national innovation system?
First, innovation should create value for customers, society, or both. This can take many forms, including new products that perform better, cost less, or are easier to use. Regardless of its form, the value that the innovation creates should be considered carefully before it is implemented. In the case of companies, it's important to choose the form in which innovation will have the greatest impact. For example, an innovative product might increase customer satisfaction or improve efficiency, but not create new market niches.
Getting a broader perspective on regional cooperation
The trend towards regional integration has deepened around the world in recent decades, especially in Africa and Asia. Despite its positive effects, critics have decried its neoliberal character, which is consistent with the values and motives of the World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund. These institutions are largely concerned with the deregulation of markets and the industrialisation of countries. However, the process of regional integration is not without problems.
In 1950, there were only six ROs. Now, there are 71. The number of ROs has increased steadily since then. In 2015, there were at least seventeen ROs, with some being discontinued or undergoing reform. The trend is consistent with the intergovernmentalist theory, which predicts that regional cooperation is driven by economic interests. As economic strength increases, RO policy competences are likely to increase.
Getting a broader perspective on children's health
Many adults assume responsibility for a child's health but are unsure where to place that responsibility. Many interventions for improving the health of children are delivered in schools and teachers often assume the role of loco parentis. However, it is important to understand what children's views are before designing interventions and strategies. By understanding children's views, we can better understand the health needs of children in our communities.
This study explored the societal, individual and political responsibility for children's health. Children viewed their responsibility for their health in relation to the diet and physical activity aspects of the intervention. They consistently returned to dietary aspects. The children had good knowledge of the nutritional value of food and the health benefits of physical activity. Their perspectives of responsibility for their own health are also shaped by their perceptions of who has the responsibility to protect their health. This study provides an important framework for designing effective interventions that focus on the interests and needs of children.
