Para muchos de estos ni\u00f1os -as\u00ed como tambi\u00e9n para algunos de los visitantes adultos- esta fue la primera oportunidad \u00a1para estar dentro de una f\u00e1brica! Mientras que para las compa\u00f1\u00edas participantes signific\u00f3 una ocasi\u00f3n para demostrar lo que ellas representan para la comunidad local. Era el momento para ser un \u201cbuen vecino\u201d, y \u00a1para divertirse en el proceso!<\/p>\n<p>La iniciativa de \u201cCasa Abierta\u201d (en ingles <I>Open House<\/I>) tambi\u00e9n fue un ejemplo de lo que se puede lograr cuando los sectores p\u00fablico y privado trabajan en conjunto. Dicha actividad, propuesta por el Comit\u00e9 de Inversiones Extranjeras de Chile, fue organizada en conjunto con AmCham, con el apoyo y participaci\u00f3n de la autoridad del gobierno regional de Santiago, la Intendencia Metropolitana de Santiago, y los gobiernos municipales de diversas comunas de la ciudad.<\/p>\n<p>Claramente, el ser abierto y transparente, as\u00ed como el estar en contacto con la comunidad local es una situaci\u00f3n sumamente beneficiosa para todos los que participan en esta iniciativa. Las cinco compa\u00f1\u00edas -3M,  American Airlines, Goodyear, IBM y Sherwin Williams- y sus empleados, pudieron exhibir orgullosamente qui\u00e9nes eran y fueron capaces de explicar todo acerca de los productos y servicios que ellos ofrecen. Mientras tanto, la gente joven aprendi\u00f3 algo nuevo. Si las compa\u00f1\u00edas no hubieran abierto sus puertas y si los ni\u00f1os no hubieren efectuado la visita, aparentemente, ninguna de las parte habr\u00eda perdido nada, excepto una oportunidad para aprender.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfImporta esto realmente?<\/p>\n<p>Nosotros en AmCham creemos que ello es muy importante y planificamos repetir la iniciativa de Casa Abierta, probablemente en forma anual. Los beneficios de dichas iniciativas pueden no ser tan obvios cuando todo est\u00e1 marchando bien. Sin embargo, en tiempos de desaf\u00edo, ese peque\u00f1o espacio de tiempo, en el cual los miembros de la comunidad pudieron conocerse entre s\u00ed, podr\u00eda, por supuesto, probar ser muy importante. Se podr\u00eda usar como un camino para resolver un problema. Sin este puente, se podr\u00eda perder un tiempo valioso tratando de determinar la forma de comunicarse y a\u00fan antes de esto, interrogarse acerca de si la otra parte estar\u00eda dispuesta a escuchar.<\/p>\n<p>A medida que observamos los actuales asuntos de negocios en Chile -una mayor sensibilidad y atenci\u00f3n relativas a asuntos medioambientales, por parte de las comunidades, la responsabilidad y respuesta de los directores corporativos hacia todos los interesados de la compa\u00f1\u00eda y, la necesidad de incrementar la base de inversionistas para nuevas empresas- est\u00e1 claro que si en todas las \u00e1reas, hubiera mayores niveles de confianza basados sobre la transparencia y accesibilidad, se facilitar\u00eda, en gran medida, el di\u00e1logo y la resoluci\u00f3n de dificultades. En vez de ser un \u201cproblema\u201d para la comunidad corporativa, \u00e9ste se podr\u00eda transformar en una oportunidad real, la que involucra el trabajo conjunto de todas las partes, reconociendo que ellas comparten metas.<\/p>\n<p>Pero \u00bfc\u00f3mo el hecho de \u201cpoder conocer\u201d a la otra parte, puede ayudar a obtener ventaja de esta oportunidad?<\/p>\n<p>Simplemente, por medio de crear confianza y establecer canales de comunicaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Desafortunadamente, no siempre se busca este punto de intersecci\u00f3n. Por el contrario, a veces se juega un juego de poder, en un intento por \u201cimponer\u201d una soluci\u00f3n. A veces, las soluciones impuestas son necesarias. Pero bastante a menudo, estos arreglos son menos que \u00f3ptimas. Una soluci\u00f3n de consenso nacida del di\u00e1logo abierto entre personas que se conocen, probablemente ser\u00e1 mucho mejor. Y ciertamente, es m\u00e1s probable que sea exitoso, dado que las partes tienden a comprometerse a concretar una v\u00eda de soluci\u00f3n, cuando ellas han formado parte del proceso mediante el cual se alcanz\u00f3 dicho acuerdo.<\/p>\n<p>Este tipo de esfuerzo conjunto es dif\u00edcil de crear cuando surge un asunto controversial. Pero seguramente ello es mucho m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil si quienes participan, no se conocen entre s\u00ed.<\/p>\n<p>AmCham llama a las compa\u00f1\u00edas a que contin\u00faen extendiendo su mano a las comunidades -ampliamente definidas- en las cuales ellas operan. Asimismo, incentivamos a las comunidades que sirven de anfitrionas a las empresas, que extiendan su mano y que se tomen el tiempo para conocer a sus compa\u00f1\u00edas. Pensamos que este es un asunto de productividad y de supervivencia de largo plazo y, francamente, de sentido com\u00fan.<\/p>\n<p>Saludamos a aquellas compa\u00f1\u00edas que abrieron sus puertas durante el mes pasado y a las numerosas empresas que abren sus puertas a las comunidades donde ellas operan, y son \u201cbuenos vecinos\u201d durante cada d\u00eda del a\u00f1o.  Agradecemos a las comunidades que han aceptado las invitaciones y se han unido a estas firmas, para construir un mejor futuro.<!--:--><!--:en--><br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nAt the beginning of July, five AmCham companies opened their doors to the community, inviting young people and senior citizens to visit their installations. For some of these children &#8211; as well as some of the older visitors &#8211; it was their first opportunity to be inside a factory! And, for the companies who participated, it was a chance to show who they are to the local community. It was a time to be a \u201cgood neighbor\u201d &#8211; and to have fun in the process!<\/p>\n<p>The Open House initiative was also an example of what can be achieved when the public and private sectors work together. Proposed by the Chilean Foreign Investment Committee, the initiative was organized in conjunction with AmCham, with the support and participation of Santiago\u2019s regional government authority, the Intendencia Metropolitana de Santiago, and the municipal governments of different districts of the city. <\/p>\n<p>Clearly, being open and transparent, as well as being in contact with the local community is a win-win situation for all those involved. The five companies &#8211; 3M, American Airlines, Goodyear, IBM and Sherwin Williams &#8211; and their employees proudly showed who they are and were able to explain the products and services they provide. Meanwhile, the young people learned something new. If the companies had not opened their doors and if the children had not made the visit, nothing would apparently have been lost on either side &#8211; except an opportunity to learn.<\/p>\n<p>Does this really matter?<\/p>\n<p>We at AmCham believe it matters very much and plan to repeat the Open House initiative, perhaps annually. The benefits of such initiatives may not be so obvious when all is going well.  However, in challenging times, that small space of time, in which members of the community were able to get to know each other, could prove very important indeed. A pathway could be defined to resolve a problem. Without this bridge, valuable time could be lost trying to determine how to communicate and, even before that, wondering whether the other side would listen.<\/p>\n<p>As we look at today\u2019s business issues in Chile &#8211; a greater sensitivity and visibility regarding environmental issues on the part of the local communities, the responsibility and responsiveness of corporate directors to all the company\u2019s stakeholders, and the need to increase the investor base for new enterprises &#8211; it is clear that in all areas, higher levels of trust based on transparency and accessibility would go a long way to facilitating dialog and shaping solutions. Rather than being a \u201cproblem\u201d for the corporate community, this can be a real opportunity. That opportunity involves all sides working together, recognizing that they share goals.<\/p>\n<p>But how can \u201cgetting to know\u201d the other side assist in taking advantage of this opportunity?<\/p>\n<p>Simply by building trust and establishing channels of communications.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, this point of intersection is not always sought. Rather, a power game is sometimes played out in a bid to \u201cimpose\u201d a solution. At times, imposed solutions are needed. But quite often these solutions are less than optimal. A consensus solution, born out of open dialog between people who know each other, is likely to be better. And it is certainly more likely to be successful since all parties tend to be committed to a solution when they formed part of the process by which it was reached.<\/p>\n<p>This type of joint effort is difficult to construct when a controversial issue is raised. But it is surely much more difficult if those involved do not know each other.<\/p>\n<p>AmCham encourages companies to continue extending their hand to the communities &#8211; broadly defined &#8211; in which they operate. We also encourage the communities who host enterprises to extend their hand and to take time to get to know their companies. We believe this is a matter of productivity and long-term survival and, frankly, common sense. <\/p>\n<p>We salute those companies who opened their doors last month, and the numerous companies who open their doors to the communities where they operate and are \u201cgood neighbors\u201d every day of the year. We thank the communities who have taken up the invitation and joined with these companies to build a better future.<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--:es-->A inicios de Julio, cinco compa\u00f1\u00edas de AmCham abrieron sus puertas a la comunidad, invitando a j\u00f3venes y ciudadanos mayores a visitar sus instalaciones.
