The ECOSOC Meetings 30 June – 11 July has ended. In the days ahead we
will know whether or not the Final Push series of Posts had Positive Influence
on the many that read from the US, UK and across the World. We will also know
if it had any Influence on the ongoing World Bank Development, WDR 2014 Massive
Open Online Course, MOOC – Participants, Course Staff, WDR 2014 Team and World Bank
Group, WBG Executive Management and Governing Council.
We expected much from the WDR MOOC Google Hangout of 11 July 2014 and
got very little – more of same unstructured and unorganized discussions ongoing
in all Threads in WDR MOOC Discussion Forum, except the Open and Private Threads
authored by Lanre. This is very sad.
Transmission failure underline urgent need for WBG / UN Headquarters to
address issues relating to provision of low cost, effective and efficient Video
Conference Technology supporting tens of millions of participants from up to
200 countries across the World linking up to specific live Video Interview.
It will be recalled that moments before Video started running, someone
asked for the Structure of the Discussion. Had Discussants prepared well for
the Interview, all issues raised in Lanre’s Comment on Week 1 Summary Thread,
will have been effectively addressed as basis for selecting from Pool of
Questions, if necessary reframing the selected Questions, to ensure that in the
1 hour scheduled for the Interview, WDR 2014 MOOC Participants get Value for
Time Invested that help to better Organize, Orientate and Discipline them to
Gain more Competencies in the work towards helping to achieve increasing
convergence between World Bank New Risk Management Vision Intention and Reality
in their Family, Community, Institution, Government, Region and our World.
Take the discussion on Corruption that Lanre stumbled into after You
Tube crashed due to serial transmission failure (did Interview actually go for
over 3 hours? If yes, is this good Time Management? A point he raised before
final crash). It was simplistic – Countries not Fighting Corruption
Retrogressing. Countries Fighting Corruption Progressing. This is Meaningless.
How does this help Fight Corruption in Nigeria?
Yes Nigeria is Top on List of Bribe Takers. Is US and UK not Top on List
of Bribe Givers. Can there be Bribe Takers if there are no Bribe Givers? Is
Distress in US Local Governments; State Governments and National Government not
due to US Political Corruption, Economic Corruption and Social Corruption? Is
World Bank Group not Aiding Corruption in Nigeria? We did not see how the
discussion help find practical answers to these real and complex Corruption
problems on the ground. Did anyone see such answers?
The World Delay or deny Correct Answers to Corruption Root problems at
the Risk of Peril of our Fragile Planet. The longer fundamental issues we have
consistently raised from Week 1 to date and beyond are ignored by WBG Leaders
and World Leaders, the closer our World slide to Catastrophe.
WBG really need to Wake Up and make up its mind to determine if this WDR
2014 MOOC Overarching Aim is to teach the type of New Risk Management
Intervention it is interested in or to teach the type of New Risk Management
Intervention in the interest of Sustainable Solutions to real and Complex Root
problems within current and Post 2015 Development Agenda in all Developed
Countries, Developing Countries and International Institutions in our World
today.
Should WBG by its Actions and In-Actions Choose the former, by all means
let this MOOC continue with Business as Usual. However, should WBG Choose the
later, then this MOOC needs to move forward with Business Unusual. To DO this,
the Course Staff – Kyla, other Instructors, Technical Staff that have
interacted with Participants thus far; Course Staff that are in the Back Room
and Engine Room; other WDR 2014 Team Members – particularly those in WBG
Executive Management; other WBG Executive Management and Governing Council need
to ACCEPT that they – Individually and Collectively NEED Help of Professionals
like Lanre and Institutions like International Society for Poverty Elimination
/ Economic Alliance Group.
As in the WDR MOOC Game, Research / Evidence has shown that Time is
Running out to Build Protection and make Connections in the 2 Weeks remaining
to the end of the Course, if WBG is to Effectively and Efficiently Pilot its
New Risk Management Vision to avoid or survive without Damage from inevitable
HIT, this helping to achieve increasing convergence between Current and Post
2015 Development Agenda Goals and Targets Intention and Reality.
