The Prosperity Process II, Creating a Culture of Continuing Education
Embracing a Prosperity Process
Could a “Culture of Continuing Education” drive prosperity? If so, what next?

Life Long Learning – November 22
Life Long Learning is key to unlocking our potential. Knowing how to do things can be more important than formal qualifications. Life is more about pepper than paper. How can we unleash the latent potential of those without formal qualification but keen to contribute. ‘To know, but not to do, is not to know!’ Dexter Yager.

Centres of Excellence – December 13
How many global centres of excellence can we have on a small island? Regionally, the border boasts innate strengths & unique experience in sectors on which we can build. Norbrook, First Derivatives, Glen Dimplex, Teleperformance, retailers, manufacturers & hospitality thrive here. Could market opportunities be linked to specific employer driven, non-degree training? Can we teach old dogs new tricks or use the old tricks in new sectors?

Control, Alt, Delete! – January 17
Can we identify specific remedies to re-skill & up-skill potential employees? What Public/Private partnerships might emerge to re-energise people using existing training efforts & industry specific programs? Regional synergy can magnify the impact of programs. Can we embrace the opportunity to fill niche labour markets shortfalls in Dublin and Belfast? Can we collectively reboot our thought processes?

The Prosperity Process, A Conversation in Three Parts
Embracing a Prosperity Process
“It’s the economy, stupid”
Join us for all or part of an exploration of what it will take to move beyond the peace process to prosperity.
How can we choose to overcome our collective obstacles to change?
What are the obstacles?

June 21st , 5:30-7:30pm
Attitudinal Changes
What are the obstacles to our “parking” the National question? Critical if we are to accept that 6 million people are a stronger market if cohesive, than 4 + 2 million.
How do we adapt our language to allow for it?

July 26, 5:30-7:30 pm
Vision
How do we focus our efforts island-wide and regionally toward growing complementary centres of excellence. Is this potentially an antidote to approaching FDI and economic development competitively?
How do we showcase the advantages of the border? We undervalue its attraction to businesses with the advantages of choosing a jurisdiction while still providing workforce and resource availability from Dublin and Belfast.

August 9th 5.30 – 7.30pm
New Structures & Systems
A serious discussion about specific quick and long term fixes to realistically approach economic development and sustainability.
What Public/Private partnerships might emerge to tackle infrastructure projects?
What efficiencies might be achieved in delivering quality health care in the border region?
