The document discusses Ireland's need for fiscal consolidation given its large budget deficit and rising debt levels. It notes that without policy changes, Ireland's general government budget deficit will exceed 10% of GDP in 2009 and its gross government debt will reach around 50% of GDP. If annual borrowing remains above 10% of GDP, Ireland's debt could reach 100% of GDP fairly quickly. The document argues that significant cuts to current and capital government spending are required to reduce borrowing and contain the growth of debt. Further tax increases may also be needed to achieve fiscal consolidation.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
?
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.
