The document is a guide for making effective transformation program decisions in the NHS (National Health Service). It provides a framework for managing value-based decisions through focusing on defining the decision, roles, and process ("what, who, how, when"). The guide helps ensure decisions are made using a rigorous, structured process to deliver the best value for patients and the public. It offers tools and templates and is intended to help everyone involved in the decision making process.
Compliance is an essential part of HR, but it is always the bare minimum and should be assessed and analyzed as part of an overall culture strategy. Issuing a policy that says "We don't discriminate" is not the same as a comprehensive inclusion and diversity program.
Following the rules and filing reports are just part of creating a work environment where compliance happens on the way to larger goals for learning, performance, and wellness. But since HR never has to make the business case for compliance, it can be a persuasive approach to larger culture initiatives.
In this presentation, we survey compliance issues, who they affect, and why it's essential to see compliance as a culture issue.
You will learn:
- What compliance issues create risk for the organization.
- What compliance issues create risk for employees.
- Why people are the most important aspect of all compliance issues.
- When compliance problems are symptoms instead of causes.
- How to approach different compliance issues using tech, training, coaching and data.
- How to make compliance an effective part of a comprehensive approach to work culture and strategy.
The original webinar featured Mike Bollinger, Vice President-Thought Leadership and Advisory Services, Cornerstone OnDemand and Heather Bussing, Employment Attorney and Principal Analyst at HRExaminer.
Service Buyers' demands have changed post recession, as a result, they are/will push service providers to deliver very different value. Offshore Providers' current model and efforts are falling short of clients needs!

Overview
- Organizations must change with the times to remain successful and maintain competitive advantage.
- However, change failure rates currently are above 60%.
- To find out why, we analyzed 6000 business leader comments from 80 countries related to their experience with change management.
- Failure is caused primarily by people-related factors.
- Organizational change can be traumatic and resisted by those involved, and when it is, change fails.
- Leaders need aligned employees that support and trust change to stand any chance of success.
- Once Leaders recognize that change resistance causes stress (and vice-versa) and identify their specific stressors, they can be more effective in reducing it.
- Focusing Change to Win is a change manual for leaders which distills the collective wisdom of over ten thousand years of change-management experience. It outlines how questionnaires and action point checklists can be used to increase the chances of change success as leaders review, navigate and plan change.
- Above all, this book is useful and practical! It provides guidance as you move to reap the benefits of gaining competitive advantage of implementing successful change in your organization.

A fundamental lack of CLARITY is often at the root of inefficient processes, errors, poor decisions, and mistrust across the organization. Worse, it's one of the reasons why improvement approaches don't produce greater results and why organizational performance often lags behind desired targets.
Gaining awareness about how often we create and tolerate ambiguity is the first step to making the
necessary behavioral changes across organizations.
In this webinar, you'll learn not only how to recognize this insidious problem, but also how to change your organization's course so that clear information that people can act upon and the unvarnished truth becomes the rule rather than the exception.
Outstanding organizations operate this way. So can you.

Business consulting is a natural extension to the career of a business analyst. These two professions have much in common. We need to analyze a business before giving it any advice, and we are often asked for advice while doing business analysis. Yet, there are important differences between them: they focus on different stakeholders, produce different deliverables, and communicate in different ways.Business consulting is a broad term covering a variety of distinct areas. This presentation focuses on the one business analysts encounter most often: business process consulting.
Business process consulting involves exploring the current processes of an organization and proposing the changes that would help it work better. It sounds simpler than it is, though. In real-world projects, we struggle to
- unravel a hairball of intertwined business processes- collate needs and opinions of diverse stakeholders
- account for process variations across business locations
- produce the documentation that is both concise and comprehensive- convince decision-makers to follow our recommendations
The presentation is intended for experienced business analysts assuming the role of a business process consultant. It explains what the consulting is and how it differs from business analysis. Then, it elaborates on primary and auxiliary deliverables of a business process consulting engagement as well as the ways to produce and present them.

Selecting the Right Vendor/Partner for Finance Department Software and Buildi...Proformative, Inc.
View on Proformative.com: http://www.proformative.com/resources/presentation-selecting-right-vendorpartner-finance-department-software-building-solid
When it comes to buying software, the Office of Finance has multiple options in a broad range of categories covering every aspect of financial management. Today’s applications can substantially improve the performance of Finance. Yet, the software selection process is complicated and the stakes are high. Too often, companies find they made the wrong choice or put off making a decision because there are too many lingering questions. This workshop focuses on the “how-to” aspects of software selection. After surveying the landscape of Office of Finance software the session will cover:
* The basic questions you need to answer about the project
* Understanding the what’s possible with today’s software
* Identifying the most appropriate vendors and implementation partners.
* Building an effective business case for the investment

Managing stakeholders as critical success factor in operational excellenceThe Jamilah H
Knowing stakeholders is the key thing in any transformational or continuous improvement initiatives, The presentation covers both high level and inter personal level of stake holders management techniques.
Among key contents are 7 Prevention Steps of Stakeholders misalignment and tools for Stakeholders Planning, Stakeholders Mapping, and Stakeholders Support Level.
This APM event was co-organised by the ProgM and Governance SIGs in conjunction with our good friends at PWC. [Full write up: http://bit.ly/apmpwcsurvey]
As Miles Dixon and I introduced the evening, I knew that we were in for some fun as Karl Reilly @karl_reilly_pwc, our host, speaker for the evening and veteran of programme management, let it be known that he would ‘ask the audience’ to send in their votes using software called Poll Everywhere. [You only have to look at the website of this tool to realise just how engaging this can be for a live audience!]
As part of my introduction I threw out a couple of challenges. Firstly with the well-known saying ‘lies, damned lies and statistics’ - why should we trust what this survey from PWC says?
Also, “Isn’t it rather shocking that out of more than 3,000 respondents from more than 100 countries, only half [50%] agreed that ‘an appropriate baseline exists to measure all benefits for their organisation [projects and programmes]’
If this really is the case how can change commissioners possibly know whether they have got what they wanted in the first place?
The 4th PwC Global PPM Survey, conducted in 2014 looked at; trends, challenges, opportunities and opinions relating to the management of portfolios, programmes and projects.
During the evening we were invited to vote by text and web on our smartphones [one of those rare ‘don’t switch your phones off’ evenings] on various survey questions. The results and opinions of ‘we happy few’ were compared to those of the much larger global population.
So for example. On the question of “Where benefits are set, are they realised?” [Slide 12] illustrates the fact that audience opinion [yellow] is broadly similar with the global view [orange] this certainly wasn’t the same in every case and led to some interesting debate.
Sandie Grimshaw, who led the survey team, joined us part way through the session - after a long day at work. She says “The results are both interesting and enlightening, especially when considered with the findings of previous surveys, and also with the results that we find when PWC undertakes maturity assessments around the world on client programmes.
I believe our survey findings have provided a fresh perspective for executive teams, as well as giving PPM professionals evidence from which to re-evaluate their priorities and approach to delivering successful change programmes.”
Not being one to miss an opportunity, Alan Macklin, ProgM committee member and Deputy Chair of APM Board, stated APM’s desire to be involved in the next survey round 2015/16 as he sees it as an opportunity to extend our own work on Conditions for Project Success.
In addition, in a short infomercial, the audience were invited to attend our inaugural APM Benefits Summit [23-25 June] - partially in response to the survey’s findings on Benefits Management uptake!

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Input
Decide
• Only one R – person who does 80% of the work to develop recommendation
• R has broad visibility and access to information for relevant inputs
• R has credibility with both Is and D
• Like an Input “with teeth” – must be factored into the recommendation
• Must work with R to resolve any issues
• A is on the R – D breaks a deadlock
• May be multiple Ps
• May involve P as an I to help upfront planning
• Can be multiple Is, but must be consulted, may or may not be reflected in final view
• Assigned only to those with valuable information which could change the decision
• Only one D for each decision
• Locate the D at the right level in the organisation (access to information, reaction times, ability to
make tradeoffs
• If D belongs to a group, clarify how it gets exercised

The “How”: Combination of the right people and information
in the right sequence to make decisions
• We are clear which facts and evidence need to underpin decisions; working
from one version of the truth for decision inputs
• Necessary pre-decision steps
Critical steps
• Once a decision is made, we move swiftly to launch execution
- Resources allocated (people and money)
- Execution plan in place (actions, accountabilities and milestones)
- Feedback loops in place to drive fast corrective action or replicate successes
Closure
• We ensure we consider the full range of alternatives
• We evaluate alternatives vs. agreed criteria using rigorous data and analysis
Choices
• We establish clear criteria for how we will evaluate options / make decisionCriteria

The decision charter should be framed to emphasise
system-wide value, including objectives and constraints
Constraints
Objectives
Context
• Improve value (cost, outcomes, safety and experience) delivered by the health system
• Deliver services more efficiently to meet population’s health needs
• Changes are sustainable within the broader health economy
• Providers support and implement the changes
• Must reduce projected outlays by £4M
• Manage resources within the financial framework set by NHS England
• Must align with CCG strategic plan and adhere to CCG governance rules
• Must be acceptable to public/political officials and regulators
• Should be acceptable to clinical staff, financial staff and patients
NHS data indicate that a CCG responsible for a small northern industrial town of
~200,000 people is underperforming relative to its demographic peer group in several
service areas. Their budget allocation will increase 5% next year to £210M, while
projected outlays with no commissioning changes are expected to increase 7% to
£214M. The CCG must decide how to improve value and bridge the £4M resource
gap in the health economy, and ensure providers implement the necessary changes.

There are many formats for a business case,
but the information you include should be the
background of the project, the expected
business benefits, the options considered (with
reasons for rejecting or carrying forward each
option), the expected costs of the project, a gap
analysis and the expected risks.
You should also consider the other options,
including the option of doing nothing, with the
costs and risks of inactivity. This information will
help you to identify a clear justification for the
project.
