关于本次演讲：

会议主席 Peter Senge 说道：“这是个奇怪又似是而非的时代。在这个时代中，人们越来越像生活在其他人的后院里。”—全球相互依赖却又被经济和政治隔离。 Senge相信，“跨疆界工作是我们这个时代中一个明确的挑战”。

Ronald O'Connor 是跨国界规范之先驱者。三十年前在尼泊尔担任志愿医学生时，他观察到如果实施最新的公共卫生措施，可以根绝毁灭性的死亡率。但他也了解到西方人不能仅单纯地闯入不同的文化并强行灌入解决方案。“我们被视为是欺侮无助小国的大暴徒。”他所创立的组织协助并训练当地社区和领导人进行适合自己的卫生解决方案。 O'Connor 在一个对孟加拉家庭计划的努力过程中，“非常兴奋地看到未受教育的村妇能规范自己的行为”，并使当地生育率比过去廿年下降了一半。

在 Frannie Léautier 工作时，她被迫禁止“使用金钱来产生影响力……仅能透过想法来交流”。她表示：“我所能依赖的，只有与人们互相交谈讨论并一同做出决策。”因此客户的愿景和需求将视为首要。例如在斯里兰卡时，Léautier团队生活在一个贫穷的村落里，她了解到建立两个池塘比提供自来水更重要：一个池塘供村民使用，另一个供大象使用。

Jeremy Hockenstein 说道：“问题克服的比我多、工作比我努力的人激励了我。”参观柬埔寨时，Hockenstein认识许多“试图学习计算机和英文”的失业穷苦人家。于是他决定开始资料登录业务，专门提供一些最需要帮助的柬埔寨人起码的生计。Digital Divide Data 训练和雇用残障人士以及从性交易中解救出来的女性。他们每天工作六小时，而且上学自我充实。Hockenstein说道：“我们以如何做更多有助于未来工作的方式来衡量自己。”

"This is a strange and paradoxical time," says moderator Peter Senge, in which people live "more and more in each other's backyard"-- interdependent globally but also fragmented by economics and politics. Senge believes "working across boundaries is the defining challenge" of our era.

Ron O'Connor is a pioneer in the practice of crossing boundaries. While volunteering as a medical student in Nepal 30 years ago, he observed devastating mortality rates that could be eradicated if up-to-date public health measures were implemented. But he also understood that Westerners couldn't simply go in and impose solutions on a different culture. "We'e seen as a big gorilla knocking over small helpless countries." The organization he founded assists and trains native communities and leaders to put their own health solutions in place. In a Bangladesh family planning effort, O'Connor was "thrilled to see illiterate village women organize themselves" and halve their fertility rate over two decades.

In Frannie Léautier's job, she's forbidden to "influence via money...just through ideas." "I can't rely on much more than people talking to each other and making decisions together," she says. So her clients' perspective and needs come first. In Sri Lanka, for instance, where Léautier's group lived for two weeks in a poor village, she learned that providing running water was less essential than creating two ponds: one for people and the other for elephants.

Jeremy Hockenstein says he's "inspired by people who have overcome much more than me and worked harder than I ever had." A visit to Cambodia introduced Hockenstein to large numbers of poor people "trying to learn computers, and English" but for whom no jobs existed. He decided to launch a data entry business dedicated to providing some of the neediest Cambodians with decent livelihoods. Digital Divide Data trains and hires disabled people and women rescued from sex trafficking, among others. They work six-hour days and go to school. Says Hockenstein, "We measure ourselves by how many go on to better jobs in the future."
