關於本次演講：
會議主席 Peter Senge 說道：「這是個奇怪又似是而非的時代。在這個時代中，人們越來越像生活在其他人的後院裡。」—全球相互依賴卻又被經濟和政治隔離。 Senge相信，「跨疆界工作是我們這個時代中一個明確的挑戰」。
Ronald O'Connor 是跨國界規範之先驅者。三十年前在尼泊爾擔任志願醫學生時，他觀察到如果實施最新的公共衛生措施，可以根絕毀滅性的死亡率。但他也了解到西方人不能僅單純地闖入不同的文化並強行灌入解決方案。「我們被視為是欺侮無助小國的大暴徒。」他所創立的組織協助並訓練當地社區和領導人進行適合自己的衛生解決方案。 O'Connor 在一個對孟加拉家庭計劃的努力過程中，「非常興奮地看到未受教育的村婦能規範自己的行為」，並使當地生育率比過去廿年下降了一半。
在 Frannie Léautier 工作時，她被迫禁止「使用金錢來產生影響力……僅能透過想法來交流」。她表示：「我所能依賴的，只有與人們互相交談討論並一同做出決策。」因此客戶的願景和需求將視為首要。例如在斯里蘭卡時，Léautier團隊生活在一個貧窮的村落裏，她了解到建立兩個池塘比提供自來水更重要：一個池塘供村民使用，另一個供大象使用。
Jeremy Hockenstein 說道：「問題克服的比我多、工作比我努力的人激勵了我。」參觀柬埔寨時，Hockenstein認識許多「試圖學習電腦和英文」的失業窮苦人家。於是他決定開始資料登錄業務，專門提供一些最需要幫助的柬埔寨人起碼的生計。Digital Divide Data 訓練和雇用殘障人士以及從性交易中解救出來的女性。他們每天工作六小時，而且上學自我充實。Hockenstein說道：「我們以如何做更多有助於未來工作的方式來衡量自己。」
"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."
