The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation that works to build better policies for better lives. Our goal is to shape policies that foster prosperity, equality, opportunity and well-being for all. We draw on 60 years of experience and insights to better prepare the world of tomorrow.

Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.

MIRO – where teams get works done

MIRO – where teams get works done

The online collaborative whiteboard platform to bring teams together, anytime, anywhere.

For a while, we’ve been hearing that remote work and therefore remote jobs are the trend of the future. However, in 2020 there are enough people working across different offices, satellite hubs, coworking spaces, cafes, home offices, and backyard sheds on a given day that it’s clear: “remote work” describes the way so many of us are already working every day.

Even if you’re physically located in the same office, you may send your coworker an instant message instead of walking over to their desk. Update a project’s status in a spreadsheet. Give feedback in a comment. Put your ideas on a virtual sticky note. You’re practicing “remote collaboration.”

Despite this growing trend, many still view being part of a successful remote or distribute teams as having a Herculean challenge. At Miro, we disagree. We believe employees don’t need to be in the same location to produce their best work together, and we live our truth every day with our own internationally distributed teams. Like it or not, virtual work is here to stay—which is why we’re sharing our secret sauce so you can help your remote teams thrive, just like ours.

Mori information is available HERE.

Social business policy in Lithuania

The business environment constitutes one of the essential elements of the country’s competitiveness. The Ministry of the Economy and Innovation of the Republic of Lithuania wishes to help business. In Lithuania social business are confused with corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. In fact social business is something different.

In Spring 2015, the Ministry of Economy approved the conception of Social Business.
At the end of 2015 the Ministry of Economy approved the Social Business Promotion 2015-2017 year action plan. The plan contains specific measures to create a social business-friendly legal, financial and fiscal environment, promoting social business culture, and increase awareness.

To boost social enterprise ecosystems, the OECD and the European Commission are working hand-in-hand to support European Union (EU) members in the creation of conditions allowing social enterprises to reach their full potential.

The review, conducted by OECD “Boosting Social Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprise Development in Lithuania, In-depth Policy Review”, 2019, provides an in-depth analysis of the Lithuanian policy ecosystem in place for social entrepreneurship and social enterprises. This review provides an in-depth analysis of the Lithuanian policy ecosystem in place for social entrepreneurship and social enterprises. It identifies the country’s key strengths and challenges and provides policy recommendations to support the development of a stronger policy ecosystem for social entrepreneurship and social enterprises.

Key policy issues analysed include: raising awareness and clarifying the conceptual framework (Chapter 2); coordinating policy and legal frameworks (Chapter 3); enhancing the role of social enterprises in public procurement (Chapter 4); promoting social impact measurement and reporting (Chapter 5); and improving their access to finance (Chapter 6).
