About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Awesome speaker! I'm Zambian so I totally relate to what he said. The Bwana thing is so funny but true, as well as how people come in and do something but it isn't always sustainable
1. Product
2. Marketing
3. Financial Management
And bring people together with their specific skills to manage.
Think Globally and act Locally.
Dismantle globally, renew locally - Derrick Jensen
Tremendous. He provided very clear explanations to a complex and counter-intiuitive process incredibly well. These are seriously important lessons to those trying to develop foreign economies.
One of the most underrated Ted talks ever
you said it you can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped...finally someone said that, THANK YOU! brilliant presentation
You obviously didn't understand the presentation
Phenomenal! One of the best TED talks I’ve EVER heard!!!
We loved the way Ernesto Sirolli spoke... Really important features about NGOs and Entrepreneurship.
When the student is ready a teacher appears! Thank you.
Looking to work in Developement Economics and this is really inspiring
That was a great and passionate talk from Mr Sirolli. Thank you TEDx Talks for wonderful and ever passionate deep insight from Mr Sirolli.
Incredible presentation - passion, authenticity & commitment - thanks for the inspiration :-)
Funny, spoken with passion, humility and shared learning- really enjoyed this talk.
I love this guys passion!
"...if people do not wish to be helped, leave them alone...". How true.
Beautiful talk by a beautiful humble man.
Asking the native! Asking the front line employees? Asking!
We all seem to make the same mistakes. 2 trillion dollars of misguided aid that causes 2 trillion dollars worth of damage- who would or COULD be grateful for that?
Thank you for a superlative talk which puts its finger firmly upon a major problem. I love this guy.
Debra vast majority of this aid goes to the elite and the rulers and their families and cronies - the average men and women never benefit from it, the west knows this and they use it to buy influence - I am an economist, i know this very know.
Thank you for this great talk.Its true that it all starts from what is withing you then it develops from there henceforth.
Ernesto Sirolli...thank you! This is it. Amazing work
Great presentation...international development workers must listen to this one!
Why don't we, for once, instead of arriving in the community to tell people what to do, why don't, for once, listen to them? But not in community meetings.
YES INDEED one on on stakehlder expriences Anthony Burdain style.........
ya listening to local concerns because they know what is bothering the most and what is making them happy the most
This is a great talk Ernesto. Very informative 👌🏾
A verry inspiring Talk..Tnank U Mr. Ernesto Sirolli.
We can contribute to the development of community economies by activating their local entrepreneurship and let them decide how they can grow better.
Fabulous presentation - thank you!
Wow how great would it be to work with/for this man and learn his philosophy.
Absolutely fantastic, inspirational, I agree totally as an entrepreneur. I will get back to this for sure. Thank you Ernesto and your team, BRAVO!!
Sirolli had the grit he grasps the past present and future all in 1 breath ,
Great talk! Ernesto is an honest truth teller!
Amazing!
Great speech. Teaches a lot 👍
well said. NGOs have to start revision of most of their failure projects in the light of this talk. fr mathew philip

EACH OF US are RESPONCIBLE FOR EACH OTHER............
I would like one of those innovation centers in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Never tell anyone how to do just decide what to do😊👍
Bravo!
He's certainly learned his lesson. Don't be imposing although you mean well. Human beings don't react well to that sort of thing. They tend to view you as condescending and insulting and pretty soon they stop talking to you.
inspiring talk
I love it, I love it, I love it
wow, RESPECT
sustainability is key
I agree
Entrepeuners are too busy doing it to go talk about it in a group meeting
However they are happy discussing a one on one
and that is how hungry hungry hippos was made
I wanna work with this man! How do I reach him?
great opportunity
Need to bring back a type of Kinko,, to have a place plan the businesses .
Now this is a smart guy.
Intelligent people with money don't need any help, they have the social connections and know-how to build themselves. If they don't, one or both are likely lacking. Intelligent people with no money are a better fit for that isolation he talks about (half way through), and unintelligent people with money are the people they're not meeting. That's really him, because there is no way Maoris in Australia are going to have connections with the Japanese fishing industry. It was his connections that did that. He says not a single business is begun by only one person, I believe that.
I won't deny his entrepreneurial skill, I guess it's just contentious what is skill and what is pre-existing resources in analysing success. I see many problems in the west, but I also see exporter economies in the west. That's in some ways a form of sustainability. After taking into account trillions of aid I see importer economies in Africa, they don't have those pre-existing resources and I'm not talking about land or minerals and definitely not manpower. I also see a people who don't want help, this is most evident in Ethiopia, which has wisely denied food aid in an attempt to become self reliant on their own agriculture.
That is how you build sustainable economic development.
After they can feed themselves, they'll have the funds to leverage themselves without the burden of debt, then they'll have the money and wisdom to build. This isn't the easiest path and it's the one with generally the least pay out. Denying handouts and the patronising hand of the regressive cosmopolitan is difficult, but being spoon fed isn't helping anyone. Making things easier for those who struggle might redistribute opportunities to them, but it doesn't redistribute earning. What's actually required from the west is virtue, namely, patience.
wow inspiring
He is absolutely spot on, this guy. SHUT THE FUCK UP and LISTEN to the people! THAT'S how to help :-)
Nice one, keep up the good work!
Great
from ego to eco:-)

Have a look at the work Tillers International is doing.
Nice
Bill Gates needs to watch this TED talk
I like this guy, I think he is very honest about his work, but he is ignorant of advances in technology that can solve all the problems he talked about.
SoldierCyfix What advances in technology are you referring to?
Conclusion to TED talk : Slides bring distraction.
Have you seen the Sustainable City?
WOODGEARS!!!!

someone said Bill Gates should see this, I say Richard Branson . Why? Bill Gates is struggling with the old system and not figuring it out. Branson is trying to do a new system but does not know how to build it. I refer to his Team B. he has an idea that it needs to be changed but as Ernesto says he has not figured out the "we" yet. and he does not know the qualifying question. He is just filling his ego and failing miserably as ego development is not what is needed.
How about both of them................?

I have learn a new lesson to shut up
Nobody starts a company alone... I guess that's why it's called a company.
2012 was that....people have hippos in their rooms!
I disagree. I believe that they are very compatible just not with the standard tools that are being used to do such things. If you take a small percentage from all the companies that you help as long term support of the project then you have massive potential income that can then have a portion returned to the investors of the innovation company. This wouldn't be an investment that will make you tons of money but it will make some and improve everybody lives. I want it done all over the world.
Summary: Tells a funny and compelling story about how other countries made things worse in Africa. Says you have to just shut up and listen to people's passion and great ideas and just provide entrepreneurs with the support needed to make their visions come true. Great talk about how to support entrepreneurs, and I'll bet he's good at supporting entrepreneurs. It sort of felt like an ad for his outfit since
However, the talk tells us zero about sustainable development and capitalism isn't going to heal the planet.
13:30 we have Elon Musk mow
but what if the people want paternalistic messiah-like figures to come down and save them by telling them what to do?

"There is no need for economic development; everything is provided. Therefore one should understand that everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa, and with this idea, one may take prasāda. However, if one interferes with the allotments of others, he is a thief. We should not accept more than what we actually need. Therefore, if by chance we get an abundance of money, we should always consider that it belongs to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. " Hare KRSNA.
