Book Description
Este libro se centra en el Tercer Sector, formado por organismos, instituciones y asociaciones sin ánimo de lucro. La primera parte profundiza en la delimitación del ámbito de este Tercer Sector, sus características e importancia en España y en Europa. En la segunda parte se atiende a las necesidades formativas existentes en las empresas sociales, a través de una metodología para establecer las competencias profesionales que, posteriormente, sirven de base para programar un módulo de formación europeo. También se presenta un instrumento que puede aplicarse para detectar las necesidades actuales de formación; el cuestionario elaborado utiliza tanto las competencias profesionales como su operacionalización en categorías de formación, ambas derivadas del estudio realizado. La base de este texto proviene de las experiencias teórico-prácticas desarrolladas por doce instituciones de la Unión Europea y del este de Europa ?siete universidades y cinco organizaciones sociales?, que durante casi dos años han colaborado en torno a un proyecto europeo destinado a mejorar las capacidades profesionales de las personas que trabajan en entidades sin ánimo de lucro. Su objetivo último era la elaboración de un módulo europeo de formación para cubrir las necesidades en estas organizaciones no lucrativas, documento que se recoge en esta publicación.

Book Description
Benchmarking has become a key tool in the water industry to promote and achieve performance targets for utilities. The use of this tool for performance improvement through systematic search and adaptation of leading practices, has expanded globally during the past decade. Many ongoing projects worldwide aim to address different needs and objectives, in varying contexts, with outstanding results and impact. Benchmarking Water Services provides valuable information to everyone interested in benchmarking in the water industry. The text is aimed at utilities considering joining a benchmarking project, experienced practitioners in charge of organizing a benchmarking exercise, consultants, regulators and researchers. The document is presented with a clear practice oriented approach and can be used as a how-to-benchmark guide presented from different perspectives (participants, organizers, supervising bodies). Readers will gain practical insight on real life benchmarking practices and will benefit from the experiences gained in some of the leading benchmarking projects of the water industry (including the IWA-WSAA benchmarking efforts, the European Benchmarking Co-operation and the several benchmarking projects carried out in Austria and Central Europe). The manual also presents the new IWA Benchmarking Framework, which aims to harmonize the terms used to describe benchmarking and performance indicators practices in the water industry, guaranteeing a more fluent and efficient communication. This Manual of Best Practice is edited by the IWA Specialist Group on Benchmarking and Performance Assessment, and co-published by AWWA and IWA Publishing.

"The authors (Cabrera, Haskins and Fritiz) diligently pursue the focus of improvement." "Benchmarking Water Services is an in depth and practical ‘must have’ guide for any utility currently engaged in or planning to develop a benchmarking process" - Gregory M. Baird (2012) Benchmarking: An International Journal 19:2.

Book Description
Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach
