CSR公益与tech

起源于这篇文章《我叫做谭亚幸。》。这篇自述也是为他的创客CSR打的一个广告。

他们的Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility (CSR)咨询业务,可能还是个小市场,尤其在中国。这个创业公司的特色可能是谭对多样文化和发达国家CSR和NGO的了解,和市场调查的能力。因为做咨询嘛,有市场调查是忽悠的本钱。

ns说志愿者慈善和边缘人物的社会问题可不可以用tech来帮助解决。具体说是tech能帮到多少,在哪方面。

感觉tech不会是决定性的要素,只能是个工具。如果较真儿说所有的tech都是工具,那么tech在这里能起的作用可能不能够举足轻重到区分一个CSR咨询业务的好坏。

首先想到能派上用场的tech工具,是用来采集统计数据做市场调查。想做有针对性的市场调查,就要区分用户,就要采集用户信息。如果目标人群不是网民怎么办。

既然是公益,服务的对象应该是缺乏经济能力的人。不然的话完全可以做成一个产品,让服务对象成为消费者。既然是缺乏经济能力的人,他们接触IT tech的渠道就很有限。要向把IT的工具暴露给这些人,首先需要基础设施和让他们习惯使用这些工具。发达国家遍地有图书馆可以上网,可惜中国没有。

tech还可以作为连接人与人的沟通工具,也许可以在部分CSR项目里用到。同样需要IT的基础设施。

更关键的咨询业务的成功与否,可能取决于人,取决于能否想出来合适的点子。这方面tech如何能帮得上忙?把其他国家的经验汇总成数据库吗?那得要个什么样的搜索引擎。既然google都被封了,用tech来帮助翻墙倒是能帮个很大的忙。

2/22 - 7/12

Now four and half month have passed. It was a arbitrary duration I made up to match the relationship that lasted four and half years. Today I met with Chen again and had a lunch at Fremont. It was almost as normal as a get-together with an old friend.
The reading about Liu, Xiaoqing a few days ago left me with a settlement to forgive ex's and move on with a friend. That's the best for me to get out of this relationship. Hanging on to money issue like what father wanted is desperate and will leave me with a potential hateful ex in the worst case. 

I still believe Chen is a good nature girl. Just that some thought she had struck me as immature in my opinion.  In the end I think the world is the better place with her around.
