Presentation

Antimicrobial Resistance: Why We Should Care About This Challenge

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is increasingly recognized as one of the biggest and most urgent threat to global health, food security and development. Although AMR can occur naturally due to genetic changes of microorganisms, the most common factors hastening the process is misuse and overuse of antimicrobials in humans and animals and poor adherence to infection control measures. It is estimated that 700,000 deaths occur annually due to AMR and if the trend continues, over 10 million deaths per year and over 100 trillion USD will be lost globally by 2050. Transmission of resistant pathogens found in animals, food, water and the environment is influenced by trade, travel and migration of both human and animals. The various factors and complex interactions driving AMR require national, regional and global policies grounded on public health principles including increased awareness and enhanced efforts towards robust surveillance, prevention, containment and research efforts. It is therefore essential for coordinated action to address the challenges of AMR through multi-sectoral collaboration at national and global levels using a One-health approach.

Uncover the Lies, Myths, and Truths of Agile Transformation

Many organizations today are confronted with the need to be part of the Agile transformation. This presents a significant challenge to most organizations, one that involves a profound change over many years, which will include a shift in personnel, culture, as well as mindset.

Traditionally most organizations have operated using Waterfall and the transition to Agile will include a radical shift in attitudes and values as it relates to functional and cross-functional collaboration—in effect a change in organizational culture. In some respects, the necessary steps may include organization re-org and even a reduction in workforce. Now the secret question: Is This TRANSFORMATION Worth It?
