CORPORATE PROJECTS:

Long term action research and consulting work includes the following:

Institute for Social Research – Studying and designing the implementation, data collection, feedback, and  the establishment of a systematic problem-solving capability for major sectors of the community of Battle Creek, Michigan (1971-72).

National Industrial Mission – Designing and developing an approach to combat economic depression and reduce labor/management conflict with the broad objective of generating economic and social change in the troubled cities of Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Muskegon, Michigan (1972-73).

Rensis Likert Associates, Inc. – Consulting with the “Father of Survey Research,” Dr. Likert, in management advisory services with a variety of clients, having primary responsibility for research design, survey feedback, and ongoing organizational development work with General Motors Division of Fisher Body in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Atlanta, Georgia (1972-74).

Arthur D. Little, Inc. – Creating organizational change and interview methodologies in researching the viability of corporate decentralization for Microlite, S.A. headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  Also engaged in managerial problems at different plant sites in Guarulhos and Recife, Brazil to institute systems of performance evaluation, career development, and succession planning (1975-79).

VSI Corporation – Consulting with CEO and top management operating committee in Pasadena, California, on problems of strategic planning, management development, career planning, and administrative restructuring corporate-wide (1976-80).

DME Co. – Advising corporations by dealing with organizational structure and participative management approaches at manufacturing plants in New Jersey, California, and Illinois (1977-85).

Clark Equipment Co. – Conducting organizational research and consultancy to labor/management quality of work project in Michigan of the International Truck Division with company management and the Allied Industrial Workers of America, Local No. 939 (1978-80).

Worker Ownership Innovations – Creating a national and eventually a global revolution in the late 1970s, I helped design and implement new business models of worker ownership through economic transformation of American enterprise.  The two primary thrusts were ESOPs (Employee Stock Ownership Plans) and worker-owned cooperatives (Co-ops) that would give workers a voice in the shop floor and the boardroom.  The logic was simple, but the resistance was considerable.  But business leaders worried that such innovations were a form of “socialism” and they clearly wanted to hold on to their elite perches atop Wall Street and Main Street.  The idea of sharing ownership was viewed as an affront to their distorted American ideals of power and control.  So we had to educate them about U.S. values, the dreams of the Founders about justice, democracy, equality, etc. As we did so, our efforts began to rapidly expand as Americans caught the vision of local economic resurgence.  Political leaders from the left and right agreed with our strategies, from Ronald Reagan to Ted Kennedy, and others.  We convinced Congress to provide incentives for states to aid businesses in trouble, preserve jobs, create worker re-training programs, and more.  Such policies were shown to benefit communities, reduce domestic violence and preserve families.  Cases revealed that there was less alcoholism and crime.  Area schools improved because the tax base grew in hard-hit towns.  Eventually, much legislation passed in Congress that led to this nationwide movement known as worker ownership.  The statistics regarding ESOP strategies today include the fact that approximately 15 million individuals labor in some seven thousand firms that they own, many of them owning 100 percent of the shares.  They may also have shop floor labor-management teams, as well as board seats that enable them to set strategies and policies for a better future.  ESOP assets today total over $2 trillion.  I became elected to the board of the National Center for Employee Ownership in Washington, DC. Many years of research on ESOP data can be found on their website, https://www.nceo.org/pages/nceo.php.  In tandem, the cooperative movement began to also take-off.  With others, our drive to also foster worker-owned cooperatives ultimately led to the establishment of the National Cooperative Bank in Washington https://ncb.coop/ which has now funded over $6 billion in capital support.  With its funding and technical assistance, there are 30,000 co-ops across the U.S. such as manufacturing co-ops, housing co-ops, food co-ops, health co-ops, and many other cooperative models (1978-2020).

Rath Packing Co. – Assisting top executives, the board of directors, and the 1800-member Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen, Local 46, in their efforts to buy the meat-packing company, organize cells of workers’ councils, and establish a workers’ board of directors.  Rath was an important and unusual case because the union, in order to save the firm and their members’ jobs, negotiated the creation of both employee ownership and control through the employee purchase of 60% of the firm’s stock and the placement of this stock in an unusual Employee Stock Ownership Trust (ESOT) which operated on the cooperative principle of “one-person-one-vote.”  The trustees were elected by the employees, and they, in turn, were responsible for appointing ten of the company’s sixteen directors.  The action research effort flowed from a joint union-management committee which operated under the board.  A wide variety of innovative problem-solving activities were created which set a precedent for subsequent “democratic buyouts” of 31 companies in North America. These Rath innovations included a joint labor-management corporate planning team and numerous departmental and ad hoc problem-solving teams (1979-83).

State of Colorado – Providing technical assistance to the Governor’s Office in a venture to create a new worker-owned enterprise in Pueblo jointly with 600 members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local 565 (1981).

Regional Industrial Democracy Development – Linking various efforts around the U.S. in moving toward more worker participation and labor-managed projects including the Jamestown, New York Labor/Management Committee; the Industrial Cooperative Association in Cambridge, Massachusetts; The Association for Self-Management in Washington, DC; and the Program on New Systems of Work and Participation, New York State School of Labor and Industrial Relations, Cornell University (1980-82).

John Morrell Co. – Providing technical assistance to the Estherville, Iowa meatpacking firm, operation for management and Local 79, UFCW as they engaged in a cooperative process for improving production, quality of working life, and socio-technical changes (1981-82).

Countering U.S. Plant Shutdowns – Consulting with various groups attempting to make the transition to employee ownership.  Clients include United Independent Taxi Drivers, a 200-member cooperative in Los Angeles; GMW Trucking, an ESOP firm headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota; U.S. Steel workers in Youngstown, Ohio; The New York Daily News; Continental Airlines in Los Angeles, California; Firestone Rubber Workers in Dayton, Ohio (1981-84).

State Government Assistance in Economic Development – Helping various regions around the country combat the problems of economic recession and dislocation.  Service was rendered to the state legislatures of Pennsylvania, Job Service of Utah, Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, Department of Economic and Business Planning of the State of California (1981‑87).

Hyatt Clark Industries – Consulting with management and United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 736 leaders in the process of purchasing a bearing plant from General Motors Corp., creating improved productivity and a democratic approach to decision-making from the shop floor to the boardroom.  This strategy saved over a thousand autoworker jobs and stabilized the Clark, New Jersey area’s economy, becoming a prototype for other successful worker takeovers such as Weirton Steel in West Virginia (1981-86).

Coping with Utah Economic Erosion – Mounting a campaign to preserve jobs and assist communities in Central Utah, including Nephi Rubber Products (NRP), the rubber workers’ union, and the City of Nephi; management and the ironworkers at McNally Steel; and the Save Geneva Coalition, local governments, steelworkers, and business groups in Utah Valley (1984-85);  action research with groups of managers attempting to combat major plant closings, including Signetics Corp. (Orem), Hiller Book Binding (Salt Lake City), National Semi Conductor (West Jordan) and Unisys Corp. (Salt Lake City), (1991-93).

Utah Small Business Development Center, Utah Valley – Establishing and directing the development and delivery of training and consulting services to small companies and to individuals in starting businesses within the region.  These services were provided to strengthen and stimulate economic development through small business.  The Center was funded by the Small Business Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce, Utah State Government and Brigham Young University. Staff included an assistant director, a secretary and a part-time graduate assistant staff consultant.  Several graduate students and some undergraduates assisted the center by consulting on a variety of projects (1985-87) before I helped transition the SBDC to Utah Valley University in Orem where we still collaborate together (1988-2020).

NGO SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS:

 

Workers’ Self-Management in Mexico – Engaged in assisting several small, cooperatively managed communities and businesses being created in Mexico. One was an urban setting in which workers were establishing light manufacturing cooperatives to revitalize the regional economy and ensure their own future through self-determination.  The other was a participatory approach to organization-building on a rural ejido in which a group of families sought grass-roots empowerment through the creation of a kibbutz-like collective system (1982-85).

 

Enterprise Mentors:  International Enterprise Development Foundation  – Economic development research and consulting on the informal economy of the Third World, starting in the Philippines; initially raising $400,000 and organizing a board of directors, setting up a staff to do training and technical assistance in Manila.  By the mid-1990s expansions include two other centers in the Philippines, plus start-ups in Brazil and Mexico which have led to skill building for the poor, vocational training and mentoring, culminating the creation of credit unions, worker cooperatives, and hundreds of families enjoying new jobs and a higher living standard.  By 2001 there were five offices in the Philippines, two in Guatemala, three in Mexico, and one each in Brazil, and El Salvador.  Over 10,000 jobs were created or expanded in one year alone, benefiting over 50,000 family members.  Some 36,000 microentrepreneurs received management training on Mentor’s annual budget of $1.3 million back in 1988-2001. Mentors has continued to grow, eventually having a staff of 400 in the Philippines, plus more in Latin America and Africa, having raised over $146 million cumulatively.  It has succeeded in providing sustainable micro-lending to help start tiny firms for more than a million microentrepreneurs while also training some six million would-be tiny business owners.  This NGO now operates in 7 nations and functions as Mentors International (1989-2020).

Eastern Europe/Ex-USSR Transition – Action research, data collection and technical assistance provided to government policy makers, company managers, and labor leaders involved in attempting to shift from state-owned, centrally planned bureaucracies to market economies, entrepreneurial cultures in which organizations install new technology, improve production and quality, and develop democratic decision-making.  Efforts focused on the telecommunications and steel industries of Poland, small manufacturers of Lithuania, and large firms in Belarus including bearing producers, truck assembly, a lingerie plant, and watch factory. Communist Party officials at first worried we were subverting the people’s revolutionary agenda with a form of capitalism, but after seeing how worker ownership strengthened economic output while preserving solidarity and communalism, they grew very accepting and enthusiastic (1991-97).

Ouelessebougou-Alliance  – Social and economic development efforts among a cluster of indigenous villages of 35,000 people in southern Mali, West Africa.  I specifically worked with a U.S. board, Mali field staff, and graduate students from BYU, U. of U., and Harvard to design a development program for creating rural, worker-owned cooperatives for women. A village banking system was established to provide access to credit for poor, would-be microentrepreneurs.  Training programs in basic business, financial skills, and management were prepared, tested, and refined for use in creating hundreds of new jobs, higher incomes, and dozens of rural cooperatives plus healthcare services, building village schools and freshwater wells, creating women’s community gardens, providing medical training to MDs and nurses, bringing in U.S. teams of experts to perform surgeries, and more (1994-2002, 2017).

Global Job Creation  –  Collaborated with students in action research teams to design and implement economic development strategies for the poor in Third World areas of Indonesia, Nigeria, Kenya, Jamaica, as well as in Bulgaria, Russia, the United States (Wyoming, Florida, and Utah Valley), the Navajo Nation, and the Goshute Tribe. New NGOs were created including Chasqui Humanitarian Foundation of the Andes (Peru), The PRINCE Cooperative and Humanitarian Link (Kenya), the Liahona Foundation (Nigeria), and Moscow’s Russian Enterprise Development Foundation, Inc. (1999-2016).

H.E.L.P. Honduras  – Economic development in Central America started in 1999 and gradually expanded into H.E.L.P. International (Help ELiminate Poverty) with change agents sent not only to Honduras, but El Salvador, Peru, Venezuela,  Bolivia, Brazil, Guatemala, Tanzania, Uganda, India, Thailand, Belize, Fiji, and  Nicaragua (1998-2012). In recent years volunteers have also labored in Middle East refugee camps in Greece and Jordan, Syria, Thailand, Tanzania, Nepal, Peru, Cambodia, Belize, Uganda, India (2013-2020). HELP has so far led programs in 19 nations with some 3,200 trained college students from across the United States.

H2O for Humanity  –  Provider of clean water services beginning in 2009.  I became an early board member and advisor to help launch a new NGO that establishes water purification systems in desperately-needed communities of India, operated in partnership with local governments and international aid organizations (2009-2021).

Unitus  – In 1999 business colleagues and I formed this new NGO as a microfinance accelerator.  I was the first chairman of the board of trustees and we raised and committed many millions of dollars to our partners starting with Pro Mujer in Mexico and SKS India in Andra Pradesh. This innovative strategy for scaling up microcredit to hundreds of thousands of poor families built a global reputation, and in our early years we grew to having 9 partners in India, plus others in Kenya, Tanzania, Argentina, Indonesia, and the Philippines, enabling some twenty MFIs to eventually grow to having over 16 million microentrepreneur clients around the world and raising some $1.2 billion (yes, “B” for billion) through the years (2000-2010 and beyond).

Economic Development of Western China  – My Mandarin-speaking friends and I designed a new strategy for poverty alleviation in response to requests for technical assistance from various PRC regions in Guangxi, Yunnan, and especially Sichuan provinces.  Our team from the Marriott School mounted a major participatory action research project to do economic development among poor ethnic communities, thus becoming one of the first MFIs to launch microfinance programs in the People’s Republic of China. While Communist Party leaders initially were concerned we were fostering the “evils of capitalism” into the culture, as they witnessed the power of bottom-up economic improvements, they began to embrace our use of solidarity groups to manage loans and improve rural life. Our small efforts have grown and several of the nonprofits we labored with continue to operate until now (2000-2020).

MicroBusiness Mentors – Local nonprofit social business established to fight poverty and build family sustainability among poor Latinos in Utah Valley.  It grew out of an MPA course I taught in 2002 as a class project on innovation.  MBM provides microbusiness training, loans to start new microenterprises, and pro bono mentoring/consulting for hundreds of mostly migrants from Latin America, but also from Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Our partners have included BYU’s Marriott School, UVU’s Small Business Development Center, Provo Boys and Girls Clubs, and Centro Hispano of Utah Valley (2002-2021).

Empowering Nations – Student NGO focused on education, literacy and strengthening the poor in southern Brazil and Somaliland, East Africa in partnership with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), as well as in Thailand, Ghana, Panama, Paraguay, Kenya, etc. that we later merged with HELP International (2002-2009).

Global Change Agents, Inc. – Founder and President of a nonprofit capacity-building technical assistance firm providing training assessment and consulting to NGOs around the world (2003-2013).   

 

Center for Economic Self-Reliance (CESR) – Culminating 15 years of work to put BYU on the global map, CESR was officially established in late 2002 with $3 million in outside funding we secured.  With several colleagues, the Marriott School became a leading light for microcredit research and social entrepreneurship strategy globally, winning various recognitions.  CESR grew out of the earlier faculty Committee for Alleviating Poverty; a five-year institutional plan for BYU was created by several colleagues and me at the Microcredit Summit; the BYU Microenterprise Conference was launched (held annually for 11 years); the Journal of Microfinance was established, the first academic journal of its kind in the world; two dozen NGOs doing village banking around the world were created out of BYU courses; and new courses on social entrepreneurship, NGO management, and microcredit have been taught. Over 4,000 students from BYU, Harvard, U of U, USU, Colorado State, Virginia Tech, Stanford, Portland State, Berkeley, etc., have become volunteer social entrepreneurs doing Third World action research and service.  Over two hundred presentations and papers at various conferences have been given by us collectively. Ashoka has designated us at BYU as a Changemaker Campus, one of just a few select schools in America. More than 80 articles on microcredit and social entrepreneurship have been published, along with approximately thirty students who received mentoring on their theses between 1989-2017.  CESR eventually was re-named the Ballard Center for Social Impacts with a new mission to “Do Good Better.”   It continues to involve thousands of students on and off campus annually as it builds a social innovation ecosystem in Social Business Plan Competitions, an annual Peery Film Festival, Micro franchising Program, TEDx Talks, Impact Investing opportunities, prize-winning student projects and competitions from MIT to UCLA, a Social Venture Academy, and more, eventually renaming itself as the Ballard Center (2002-2021).

Sustain Haiti – New social enterprise I founded with colleagues as a response to the 2010 devastating 7.0 earthquake that killed over 220,000 and left a million people injured or homeless on the island. Mobilizing a BYU team to design and launch a 4-part strategy, we began summer 2010 and have continued to fund, train, and implement such programs as microenterprise development, healthcare, English-as-a-Second Language (ESL), eco-forestry, family and community gardens, as well as assisting orphanages, installing clean water systems for refugee camps, etc. We have a year-round Haitian staff, supplemented with U.S. volunteers each summer (2010-2020).

 

Pathway Consulting – Collaboration with a training organization to empower impoverished rural communities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in conjunction with the national government and large mining corporations to build resilience, create employment, fund schools, and assist families in multiple ways to gain a better future (2016-2021).

Arise Armenia – A team of Armenians, American development experts and college students from several campuses have designed and prepared to launch a new NGO for the West Asia region where this small, landlocked nation has suffered immensely since the collapse of the Soviet Union. After the Coronavirus pandemic subsides, initiatives are set to roll out to support women, create many SMEs, and facilitate better rural education systems in the region (2019-2021).

Woodworth Initiatives with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:

Blacks and the Priesthood Ban:

Beginning during my 32-month Brazilian mission where I more fully confronted the ugly realities of racism, I began trying to influence the church regarding its troubling policies against Africans, Fijians, Brazilians, Caribbean Islanders, and Blacks in the United States. From my mission throughout the next 15 years, I prayed for a policy change, fasted from meals once a week, and gave a few speeches. Blacks were not allowed to enter a temple, nor hold the priesthood, causing tragic pain and suffering. I lobbied and wrote letters, met with leaders at church headquarters, discussed the matter with local church leaders wherever I traveled. As the first temple to open in South America arrived, the policy was finally stuck down in June 1978 just before the temple would officially open. From that experience, I learned the Church was not just God’s or church officials, but for all of us. We could make change and improvements, as well as leaders.

LDS Humanitarian Services:

The experience empowered me to encourage other initiatives that have since ben implemented church-wide. I take no credit for anything but acknowledge God’s inspiration to me as one of the “least of these,” while many friends and neighbors told me nothing would ever change. From the 1970s church racism effort being overturned, I next sought to encourage greater programs and financing to address Third World poverty and suffering. Proposing ideas, meeting with the Brethren and LDS welfare managers, I worked and hoped for a new approach beyond traditional welfare services. While some leaders agreed more should be done, others said no. That the church was too small and poor to assist those beyond our own members (since the 1840s). Eventually, the concept of charity prevailed and in 1985 a new Humanitarian Services Fund was established to begin assisting victims of the East Asia massive famine that killed hundreds of thousands. Special fasts resulted in millions of dollars donated beyond regular contributions and the church began to realize it had plenty of money to do “more good” with Catholic, Protestant, and Muslim partners. Later came the Humanitarian Services Center and more to distribute donated good globally.

LDS Charities:

With that move, I shifted to arguing the church needed its own Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), to begin doing international development. I recall advising leading officials, some of whom were offended. But others were open. I still recall a top welfare executive introducing me at a meeting at headquarters by saying, “Most of us are bureaucrats who talk about new programs. Warner does them, and constantly advocates for change.” It took a decade, but ultimately Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley announced the formation of LDS Charities in 1996. It was rolled out to great fanfare and many of us fighting poverty saw its immense potential.

Perpetual Education Fund:

As a returned missionary from Brazil who’d seen decades of missionaries struggling after the missions, I had great empathy for them. Most U.S. and European missionaries ended two years of service and went on to university studies, happy marriages, and successful careers. In contrast, those from developing nations had their own bed, decent meals and living quarters for 24 months. But after their service, they returned to Third World shanties with 6-9 people trying to sleep in a couple of rooms, having few job opportunities, little food, and no marriage or college education prospects. So, I began giving speeches at BYU and in LDS circles advocating for creating a Perpetual Education Fund, something akin to what many Mormon pioneer ancestors had when converting to the church and receiving monies to move to pioneer Utah and build the kingdom. It was the Perpetual Emigration Fund. I wanted us to make something similar, but for education (PEF). Again, church leaders were resistant, assuming international missionaries had bright futures like their American counterparts. So we collected data showing 86 percent of Peruvian returnees were inactive in the church 2 years after their missions because they couldn’t afford bus fare to church, to say nothing of getting more education, jobs or marriage. I saw the same things constantly in Kenya, Mexico, and wherever else I was engaged to counter poverty. Still, the church didn’t accept the proposal, so I recruited wealthy LDS friends and we started PEF in Brazil, then Chile, Mexico and other nations. Ultimately the Church launched PEF in 2001 and it was a huge success in providing loans for young returned missionaries to become educated, secure a job, and then repay their loan which would soon benefit others.

Self-Reliant Services:

The next program I advocated became known as SRS. It evolved from PEF which became so popular, it received billions of dollar donations, more than it could manage wisely. I had advocated for a huge LDS emphasis on becoming self-reliant, even obtaining $3 million in funds to establish the Center for Economic Self Reliance at the Marriott School of Business while a young professor. By the middle 2000s, I felt much of the PEF funding could be channeled to a broader program, not just education for returned missionaries, but for building family self-reliance. By then several NGO friends were running PEF, and having hired my former student, they embarked in this new direction as SRS. It continues to expand and bless the poor.

Pathway Education:

A final initiative here is known as Pathway Worldwide. Back in the 1980s, a colleague BYU professor and I dreamed of a time when our church would offer the equivalent of a college degree to global members who could never qualify nor have sufficient funds to attend college. Church officials and CES (Church Educational System) managers rejected the proposal as impractical and too expensive. I sought to occasionally promote the idea, even after my colleague died. Finally, the internet was born, web education became not only available but hugely successful as online colleges exploded. Finally, friends at BYU Idaho began to offer a few courses and LDS education opportunities exploded. In 2009, Pathway Connect was officially established on that campus, and continues to reach over a hundred thousand young adults seeking college decrees and lives of great promise.

Through all these innovations over the decades of my hopes, dreams and strategic practices, these programs have blessed millions of people. Surely more will expand and/or become established as we move toward a brighter future for those who struggle. It is up to us to become part of a greater restoration of the church (which I began preaching and practicing in the 1970s).

Personal Educational Vision/Mission While at BYU:

  • To build a sustainable student movement for alleviating global poverty through a type of Mormon Peace Corps.
  • To help students achieve congruence between good organizational theory and gospel principles and values.
  • To inspire students with a greater vision of how they can not only “canonize” what is known, but learn to “analyze” it and to explore what is not known, thereby solving some of humanity’s most

serious and perplexing problems.

  • To empower students so that collectively we can reduce human suffering and change the world.

Student Mentoring:

 

Over the years I have spent a great deal of time and energy closely collaborating with students.  I urge them to call me by my first name because I want them to feel I am truly a co-learner with them, a colleague rather than a professor possessing all knowledge and behaving toward them in condescending fashion.  Thus, we have collaborated together as scholars in reviewing the research literature, developing new conceptual frameworks, designing and conducting organizational studies in large corporate enterprises around the globe, as well as executing village level research within indigenous communities of the Third World.  These have led to hundreds of co-presented conference papers, co-authored publications, ten books, and other results of university scholarship.

I have chaired theses committees for approximately 220 students at BYU and elsewhere, a number of which were later published.  A result of all this time and energy has been the sponsorship of many of these students to go on to masters level and/or Ph.D. programs at top universities:  Harvard, Michigan, Cornell, UNC, Stanford, UCLA, Washington, MIT, Wharton, Yale, Johns Hopkins, GWU, Columbia, London School of Economics, Oxford, Sussex, Reading, etc.  I have helped some of them obtain Fulbright Awards and U.N. grants, as well as university-specific scholarships.

The action research type of academic work I do fosters innovation among many of my students.  This often grows out of service-learning projects that have always been required in my courses.  What is unique about this kind of learning process is that so many of these projects have continued to go forward months and even years after the semester ended.  Some of them eventually became for-profit entrepreneurial firms and/or consulting partnerships in the private sector.  But most of them have continued as non-profit programs, foundations, or NGOs that now total over forty such entities operating in 62 nations.  A number of these have enjoyed critical acclaim.  For example, Brooks Dame served as a HELP International country director in El Salvador in 2002, and continued to return to that country with groups of students to provide humanitarian service during semester breaks or vacation times, taking humanitarian supplies and trying to lift those who struggle. Another student, Alex Carroll, launched an innovative reforestation project as part of Sustain Haiti that in 2013 was honored at the Clinton Foundation’s Global Initiative University for its innovation and sustainable ecosystems.

Some students I’ve mentored have received Fulbright Awards to study in Eastern Europe.  About 40 of my students have received BYU ORCA grants for Third World studies.  I have advised numerous teams of students in social enterprise competitions at BYU, Wharton, Washington, and Berkeley, where they received prize monies that enabled them to legally incorporate their non-profit organizations.  Examples include MicroBusiness Mentors, serving the Utah Latino community; Marketplace Africa, bringing crafts from Ghanaian villages to sell through Worldstock.com; Deseret International in the Philippines, Centers for Complementary Education for Youth in Brazil; the Tsunami Pearl Jewelry Women’s Co-op of Khao Lak, Thailand; Chari-state NGO, a legal resources firm, Teach-A-Man-To-Fish global NGO which started in Paraguay, Tipping Bucket as a fundraising program, 2ft Prosthetics which serves amputees worldwide, Musana Jewelry Co-op in Uganda, Morada Mejor to upgrade in housing for the Peruvian poor, Tilapiana Fish Farms in Ghana, Remény Foundation to provide HOPE (Health, Opportunity, Prosperity, Education) to disadvantaged Hungarian women, Joseph Smith Business College in Mexico, Bazari Cell Phone Tech for farmers in India to order and pay for agriculture equipment and seeds, Micro-Venture Capital Firm in Arequipa, Peru, Nova Geração Foundation for street kids in Criciuma, Brazil, Achatina Snail Farms in Ghana, and others.

A number of my students have enjoyed considerable recognition:  BYU scholarships, research assistantships, and individual awards.  For example, Dave Ulrich left our program, earned a PhD at UCLA, and took a position at my alma mater, the University of Michigan, where he gained fame as an HR author and consultant now leading a major consulting firm, Results-Based Leadership along with Norm Smallwood and dozens of my former students who consult around the globe.  Valerie Chen, who did her honors thesis on the economic impacts of microfinance, using my five years of FINCA data, was selected as the BYU graduating class valedictorian in 2005.  Two of my students and I were recognized for our efforts to build socially responsible MBA programs and were invited to present our work at the national Net Impact Conference in New York City.  Shon Hiatt, a former MPA student I mentored, did field research with me and, among other awards we co-authored a microcredit article that received the Best Paper Award at the Utah Academy for Arts, Letters, and Sciences. He went on to Ph.D. work at Cornell was hired on the faculty of the Harvard Business School, and now is a professor at University of Southern California in LA.  Shad Morris and I co-authored various papers, during which time he earned a Ph.D. at Cornell, was hired at MIT, and went on to teach with the Ohio State management faculty. An undergraduate student of mine, Kelvin Goh, earned first place and a $500 prize for winning the first ever Dyer Institute for Organizational Change case competition in 2005. Lisa Jones Christensen helped launch HELP International with me, went on to receive a Ph.D. in entrepreneurship at University of North Carolina where she became a professor running UNC’s Sustainability Lab. Wes Sine received a Ph.D. at Cornell, is now in the Johnson School of Business there, and serves as editor of Organization Science. Several dozen of the MBA teams I mentored have won top honors in Ethics, Social Entrepreneurship, and other competitions across the U.S.

Action Research Projects:

 

  • Helped design and establish the Academy for Creating Enterprise (ACE), a training program to empower returned native missionaries in Cebu, the Philippines, with business skills and microcredit loans to help them create a better future. The Academy has expanded to other countries and now has 14,000 graduate entrepreneurs in 400-plus chapters from counties beyond the Philippines like Peru, Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela.
  • Launched an NGO, H.E.L.P. International (Help ELiminate Poverty), to assist victims of 1998’s Hurricane Mitch, begun as HELP Honduras helping to raise $116,000 and creating 47 new village banks for some 800 poor women benefiting 4,000 people.  It was then restructured as HELP International and has since sponsored programs not only in Honduras, but in El Salvador, Peru, Venezuela, Bolivia, Guatemala, Brazil, Uganda, and Fiji, India, Belize, Thailand, Guatemala, Tanzania, Nepal, in Greek refugee camps of Syrians and Iraqis (raising over $11 million).
  • Assisted with board development, banquet, and auctions of the Ouelessebougou Alliance in Salt Lake City and Provo, raising some $300,000 annually for development projects in Mali, West Africa.
  • Founded and organized the International Development Network (IDN) leading to symposia held at BYU since 1999 (with a network of some 40 social enterprise groups) and others since.
  • Helped LDS leaders in Zimbabwe design a charitable program to prevent and/or alleviate the devastating African tragedy of HIV-AIDS, providing consulting, student interns, and evaluation of this organization, known as “Raising the Generation.”
  • Assisted a group of LDS executives create the Native American Mentoring Enterprise, (NAME), arranging for a group of my graduate students to help the founders prepare an organizational structure and training materials to teach young Navajos leadership and life skills.
  • Supervised an in-depth assessment of an LDS-related NGO, Liahona Economic Development Foundation (LEDF) in Nigeria carried out by a team of 3 students, after which we began to raise funds in Utah for microlending in West Africa.
  • Mentored BYU students to do a project aiding the Goshute Tribe near the Nevada-Utah border, performing a feasibility study for setting up a microcredit program through the Utah Microenterprise Loan Fund.
  • Oversaw two dozen students in the Fiji Distance Learning Program, operated by graduate students and undergraduates serving in the South Pacific.  This was done in cooperation with the Church’s CES administration, offering courses to young Fijian adults and returned missionaries so that with OB, management and computer skills, they will qualify for better careers and a positive future with now Professor James Jacob, University of Pittsburgh.
  • Helped to create a partnership between former Mexican mission presidents and my BYU students who traveled to Mexico to help create Cumorah University, consisting of several educational institutions to train returned native missionaries so they may enjoy a higher quality of life. This also advanced my notion of the LDS Church eventually establishing a Perpetual Education Fund (PEF). This effort expanded to include the creation of the Hispanic University for Latinos in Utah.
  • In contrast to the above long-term sustainable programs, I also sponsored numerous other short-term student service projects including assisting the First Hope Orphanage in Nepal, collecting eye-wear for rural Mexicans, Utah Valley March of Dimes, Starlight UK, the Utah Valley Food and Care Coalition, the Rose Foundation Schools in Guatemala, helping an orphanage in Cabo Verde, Mexico, aiding the Alma Success Academy in Guatemala, establishing a school in Northern Honduras, an orphanage in Guatemala, another in El Salvador, and so forth.
  • Led some two dozen BYU students, faculty and staff launched a microenterprise assessment, training and development program, SOAR China, in South and Western Regions of the People’s Republic of China where we established one of the country’s first microfinance programs and worked with the Sichuan Women’s Federation of five million women to facilitate better rural lives for their families.
  • My students and I have created 16 documentary videos on our projects in Latin America, as well as eleven web sites, eight newsletters, and numerous power point presentations on programs in Mali, Nigeria, Honduras, Peru, El Salvador, Venezuela, Cumorah University in Mexico, Thailand, China, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Uganda, Nicaragua, Fiji, and Western Samoa.
  • Three colleagues and I formed a new nonprofit foundation, Action Against Poverty, to facilitate the start-up and growth of dozens of NGOs doing Third World relief, education, healthcare, and economic development.  We also assisted in building the Timpanogos Community Network (TCN) and the Provo Economic Coalition with local activist groups working to foster community social change through companies, government agencies, banks, and service agencies.
  • In response to the horrific 12/26/04 Asian tsunami that killed hundreds of thousands of people and left four million homeless, my students and I spent four months in early 2005 designing a rebuilding strategy, training over one hundred social entrepreneurs, who each spent at least a month on the coast of Khao Lak, Thailand.  Known as Wave of Hope, we helped build one hundred and twenty new houses, made furniture for village homes, helped to build dozens of long-tailed fishing boats, reopened and taught in schools, cleaned up mounds of debris, and helped survivors in refugee camps.  We launched several worker-owned cooperatives to ensure long-lasting, sustainable livelihoods for various groups of villagers.
  • Building on Wave of Hope’s impacts, we leveraged that work into Empowering Nations, and began mobilizing college-age social entrepreneurs to volunteer in more countries, as well as working toward long-term social enterprises in Thailand. Other projects consist of recruiting and training volunteers for education in Ghana, family self-reliance in Mozambique, microenterprise expansion in Peru, and microfinance start-ups in Latin America and Africa. It was eventually integrated in to one of my other NGOs.
  • Established Sustain Haiti to help rescue and rebuild the country after its horrific earthquake in 2010, strengthening families, designing new strategies for self-sufficiency among the poor, an organization helping develop new clean water systems, rebuild orphanages, offer microcredit communal bank loans to women in the informal economy, teaching Business English to thousands of Haitians seeking jobs from new U.S. company investments, establishing the country’s first Business Plan Competition, and more over the ensuing 10 years.
  • Arise Armenia emerged as a new project/NGO in early 2020 to mobilize BYU and UVU students in launching a new NGO that will work in the small landlocked country to create jobs, empower women, strengthen kids’ education, and help build a better future for hard-working Armenians who only lack the resources to achieve a better quality of life.

Individual Mentoring:

 

Over the decades I have responded to seemingly “unending” requests from young people, students across the U.S. and around the world, as well as advice for potential jobs and/or internships, NGO work experiences, academic courses to take, personal and family issues, and so forth.  I tried to support not only regular white, male BYU students, but minorities on campus, women students and faculty, international young people who, in many cases, were discriminated against (or worse) and for whom I became a fierce advocate.  It was always a privilege to do so and I treasure those dialogues because I also learned from them, maybe more than they did from me.  These encounters taught me a lot about authenticity and honest, helpful interactions.

Practicum:

Beginning in 1981-82, I established the Program on Industrial Democracy (PID) within the BYU School of Management, an innovative effort to foster the U.S. worker ownership movement of Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) and worker-managed cooperatives.  Testifying in the U.S. Senate, speaking at major universities, lobbying members of the House of Representatives, along with governors and city officials across the country, serving on several professional associations, this effort led to new American forms of business giving employees more rights and better incomes.  Political leaders from the left and right agreed with our strategies, from Ronald Reagan to Ted Kennedy and others.  Eventually, much legislation passed in Congress that led to a nationwide movement known as worker ownership.  The ESOP strategy led to the eventual statistics that today include approximately 15 million individuals laboring in some seven thousand firms that they own, many of them owning 100 percent of the shares, where they may also have shop floor labor-management teams, as well as board seats that enable them to set strategies and policies for a better future.  ESOP assets today total over $2 trillion.  I was elected to the board of the National Center for Employee Ownership in Washington, DC, and current ESOP data can be found on their website, https://www.nceo.org/pages/nceo.php. With others, our drive to also foster worker-owned cooperatives ultimately led to the establishment of the National Cooperative Bank in Washington with $40 million in capital: https://ncb.coop/  It has since funded over $6 billion in capital support.  With its funding and technical assistance, today there are 30,000 co-ops across the U.S. such as housing co-ops, food co-ops, manufacturing co-ops, health co-ops, and many other cooperative models.  During these years of the BYU program, our efforts led to the creation of several new courses, internships for graduate students from the MBA and OB departments, joint faculty-student research, writing of papers and conference presentations.  With other faculty from sociology, manufacturing, engineering and OB, we redesigned the original system of research and consulting on forms of worker ownership and launched a five year effort, the Program on Economic Innovation and Revitalization (PEIR) beginning in 1987.  It combined theory in business management and manufacturing with practical, hands-on leadership and entrepreneurial experience.  Both graduates and undergraduates participated in this innovative practicum for up to two years, learning concepts and practicing them through an on-campus enterprise we established, Equitech.

Since the early 1990s, I have launched a number of “stewardship” initiatives to collaborate with students, scholars and practitioners around the globe designing programs to counter poverty, especially in developing nations or those of Eastern Europe in transition.  We have jointly designed project proposals for funds, scholarships for young people, graduate student awards and I have supervised these “social entrepreneurs” as they have started new NGOs in Russia, Thailand, and Bulgaria; evaluated programs like that of FINCA in El Salvador and Mentores Empresariales in Guatemala; served as interns at the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and/or Grameen Foundation, USA; developed new programs in Jordan, Western Samoa, Zimbabwe, Fiji, and high in the Andes of Peru, as well as other projects in Nigeria, and Dominican Republic.  More recent action research teams have been creating sustainable programs in Kenya, Brazil, the Goshute Tribe and Navajo Nation, as well as domestic efforts in Utah and Florida.  The major thrusts since then were in Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, and Sichuan, China. More recently, I’ve offered pro bono consulting to Reach the Children, a New York-based NGO working in 7 countries; Paramita Group (Thailand); Engage  Now (Ethiopia); HART (Ghana); NAME (Navajo Mentoring and Education), Empowering Nations (Somaliland, Brazil, Thailand, Ghana), People Care World Wide (PCWW), an entrepreneurial non-profit working in southern Africa (2012), and the Utah refugee NGO, Women of the World (WOW) founded by Samira Harnish (2012), Care for Life (Mozambique), Sustain Haiti (2010-2020), Pathway Consulting (DR Congo) from 2016-2020, and others more recently.

NEWS COVERAGE, TV, NEWSPAPERS, AND SOCIAL MEDIA:

 

A large number of programs with which I have been involved have been the subject of considerable public interest and debate over the years. As something of an intellectual, a labor-management business consultant, an ethicist, and a global social entrepreneur, I’ve enjoyed quite a lot of media coverage for my research, speeches, controversial views, efforts to reduce human suffering, and commitments to make the world better. In the past, some associates have occasionally suggested that if I had had a secretary or PR assistant, I could have had even greater influence in my community and state, as well as across the country and beyond into the larger world. I’ve usually responded by admitting that was usually not my goal, but it certainly may have helped to have a staff person to assist in my various causes. Regardless, below are some of the references to media stories about my work throughout the decades.

1970s: Key efforts of mine regarding quality of work and industrial democracy have resulted in media coverage on national television programs such as The Today Show, Bill Moyers Journal, P.M. Magazine, NBC News, 20/20, The Phil Donahue Show, ABC Nightline, McNeil – Lehrer Report, 60 Minutes, as well as radio programs locally, nationally, and the Voice of America internationally.  Major press coverage has included The Wall Street Journal, De Moines Register, Los Angeles Times, and magazines such as Business Week, Fortune, U.S. News and World Report, Forbes, Newsweek, Dunn’s Review, Industry Week, and Nation’s Business.  Much of this work has also been analyzed in academic journals and social change literature such as World of Work Reports, Dissent, Co-op Magazine, Workplace Democracy, Working Papers for a New Society, In These Times, and Mother Jones. Portions of research have been excerpted in the Daily Labor Report, Boardroom Reports, Christian Science Monitor, and Conference Board Research Bulletin.

There were a number of stories about my work to reduce factory closings and/or reopen them as worker-owned enterprises–Barbizon, NRP, and McNally–featured locally in the Provo Herald, Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News, various radio and TV stations, and across the U.S. in the Minneapolis Tribune, Cleveland’s Plain Dealer, St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Houston Chronicle, Denver Post, Indianapolis Star, San Diego’s Evening Tribune, Dallas Morning News, Virginian Pilot, and the Philadelphia Inquirer. My work with General Motor’s Fisher Body Factory was featured in a 1977 corporate videotape produced by GM entitled “Quality of Work Life:  Business Teams at Fisher Body.

1980s: In 1980 I was featured in a commercially produced film made in New York, “In the Middle:  The Role of the Third Party in Labor/Management Cooperation.”  My role as consultant in the conversion to worker-ownership of Hyatt Clark Industries in New Jersey was filmed for public television in 1982, narrated by Eric Sevareid, and has appeared nationally a number of times as an ABC TV documentary entitled, “Buyout.” During those early years, internationally I was interviewed for newspapers in Germany and the Netherlands, and the Swedish labor publication, Arbetare (The Worker) I was featured in a television interview in Berlin regarding worker participation in capitalist and communist countries, interviewed on Polish radio in Warsaw, and had projects of mine covered in Britain’s The Economist, the Daily Express of London, and The Times. Articles or portions of my research have been published in academic and professional journals in Romania, Brazil, France, West Germany, Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Great Britain, Peru, Mexico, Poland, and Jamaica.

I participated in several talk shows discussing such issues as mass layoffs, dislocated workers, democratic work structures, career paths, discrimination against minorities and women, corporate chauvinism, and women in management. These include KBYU Radio (December 1, 1980), KUTV “Take Two,” KSTV Channel 20Contact” (November 26, 1980), KSL Television “Face to Face” (January 12, 1981), KZJO Radio (May 4, 1983), KDYL Radio (July 19, 1984), Radio 107.5 Talk Show (September 1, 1985), Channel 4 on “Upcoming Bargaining Talks” (November 24, 1985),  Radio KPFK Los Angeles “Sharing Ownership” (March 28, 1987), Honolulu TV “Island Journal” (May 25, 1987), Hawaiian Cable TV “U.S. Foreign Policy:  Necessity or Duplicity,” (January 15, 1987), and other programs in Denver, Philadelphia and Iowa.  Presentations and talk shows also include KTALK Radio September 12, 1989 on “Business Ethics.”

My research on “De-Steeling” resulted in a number of provocative discussions in the Utah and national media during 1984 including AP, UPI, The Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News, Daily Herald; TV Channels 2, 4, 5, 11; and radio programs or news broadcasts on KFTN, KJVO, KBYU, KDYL, KSL, and KEYY. Such discussions have launched a serious planning effort to create economic alternatives in the region. Presentations and consultations were made at the request of various groups:  Utah State Public Utilities Commission, State Tax Commission, Department of Economic Development, local mayors and city councils, Provo Chamber of Commerce, Save Geneva Coalition, and Mountainlands Association of Governments. I was a guest on the NBC nationally televised program Late Night America (October 11, 1984).

The problems of Utah’s economy brought a number of media appearances in late 1985 and 1986 including interviews in Utah newspapers, as well as The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and Philadelphia Inquirer. There were talk shows on KCPX and KDYL radio as well as KUTV and KSL-TV.  My analysis of the U.S. labor movement led to 30–60-minute participation on talk shows such as ABC Talk Radio 63 (April 9, 1985), Radio 5DN in Sidney, Australia (May 13, 1985). On February 9, 1986, I was featured in a one hour debate with Utah’s Director of Economic Development on KUTV’s “Take Two.” Channel 2 featured me in “Project 2,000:  Utah’s Economy in the 21st Century” (February 26, 1986). I had several interviews (KBYU Channel 11, March 4, 1986) on “Small Businesses and the Local Economy,” and Newsbeat–Cable TV (March 28, 1986), I was in a feature story published in The Small Business Promoter, Vol. 5, No. 1, 1986.  I was also a guest on a Utah talk show, “Coping with Foreign Trade Deficits”, July 3, 1986, Radio KUER in Salt Lake City, with state AFL-CIO president Ed Mayne and U.S. House of Representatives leader in Congress, Howard Nielson.

1990s: “U.S. Foreign Policy and War in the Middle East,” Channels 2, 4 and 5 (January 15, 1991), Global Economics and the Problems of International Poverty,” Radio 960 KFMY (September 17, 1991); “Corporate Downsizing’s Social Consequences,” Radio KCPW (January 12, 1996), as well as “Playing Employee Hardball Hurts Everyone, BYU Professor Says” (Daily Herald, August 24, 1996); KBYU Television News Analysis on Geneva Steel’s Downsizing (March 27, 1997).
