"SPECIAL REPORT: THE NEW INTELLIGENT ENTERPRISE Analytics: The New Path to Value (free PDF) November 3, 2010 How the smartest organizations are embedding analytics to transform insights into action Some executives remain overwhelmed by the well-documented "data deluge" - 60% still say they "have more information than we can effectively use." But research now shows that leaders of the smartest organizations have moved past "overwhelmed" and are already capitalizing on increased information richness and analytics to gain measurable competitive advantage. How are they doing it? In what ways are top-performing companies exploiting data that their competitors are not? What pivotal new management practices are emerging as organizations figure out not only how to know more about their businesses, but how to act on those insights from the highest levels of strategy-making to the day-to-day front lines? To answer those questions and more, the MIT Sloan Management Review in collaboration with the IBM Institute for Business Value conducted a global survey of nearly 3,000 executives, as well as in-depth interviews with leading researchers. This MIT Sloan Management Review Special Report is the result."

The funding will be used in two ways: * each LAA or MAA area will be invited to submit a proposal to draw down funding to support projects addressing the causes and effects of worklessness in their area * Regional Worklessness Network will be established to supplement the individual project proposals from local authorities

"New Research into Support for Third Sector Organisations 09/11/2009 Research published by Capacitybuilders highlights the importance of identifying the support needs of third sector organisations through effective diagnosis, and of avoiding a one-size fits-all approach to support provision. The report also highlights the extent to which smaller or newer groups can benefit from more intensive, regular one-to-one support as they develop and grow, and identifies a range of critical factors that contribute to the successful development and growth of smaller third sector organisations."
