Keeping Housing Affordable
In the 1970s, the US Congress created a favorable loan program to enlist the private market to assist with the creation of needed affordable rental housing.

Does Implicit Bias Impact Your Training?
In all likelihood, it probably does. “Implicit bias” is the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. Unlike plain “bias,” where we consciously choose to act in ways that support our biased views, implicit bias often causes us to act in ways that we do not necessarily realize …Read More

and offer face-to-face training. By the
end of the century, the answer was blended learning: For the easy content, give them a …Read More
What Is Different in Emerging Markets?
Any successful training program begins with a thorough needs assessment to determine the right solution. When working in the US, we often take for granted certain minimum standards. For instance, we assume that the classroom will have electricity and that, in most cases, our audience knows how to read and write at least to a …Read More
From Subsistence Living to Sustainable Farming
For generations, farmers in developing nations like the
Philippines have tilled the land and eked out a living. With little formal education and even less
knowledge about business management, these farmers toil hard, sell their crops,
and barely make enough to feed their families.
The IFC (a World Bank Group member) and Bayer Crop Sciences (a leading
agricultural company) sought …Read More
