Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

Wat is nu precies het verschil met marketplaces en Programmatic ads? In dit half uur beslechten we de dilemma's en krijg je antwoorden op wanneer het voor jou tijd is om de volgende stap te zetten.
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
1. 9–1
Assessing the Environment
• Environmental Scanning
The screening of large amounts of information to
anticipate and interpret change in the environment.
Competitor Intelligence
The process of gathering information about competitors
—who they are?; what are they doing?
– Is not spying but rather careful attention to readily
accessible information from employees, customers,
suppliers, the Internet, and competitors themselves.
May involved reverse engineering of competing
products to discover technical innovations.
2. 9–2
Assessing the Environment (cont’d)
• Environmental Scanning (cont’d)
Global Scanning
Screening a broad scope of information on global forces
that might affect the organization.
Has value to firms with significant global interests.
Draws information from sources that provide global
perspectives on world-wide issues and opportunities.
3. 9–3
Assessing the Environment (cont’d)
• Forecasting
The part of organizational planning that involves
creating predictions of outcomes based on
information gathered by environmental scanning.
Facilitates managerial
decision making.
Is most accurate in
stable environments.
4. 9–4
Assessing the Environment (cont’d)
• Types of Forecasting
Quantitative forecasting
Applying a set of mathematical rules to a series of hard
data to predict outcomes (e.g., units to be produced).
Qualitative forecasting
Using expert judgments and opinions to predict less
than precise outcomes (e.g., direction of the economy).
• Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and
Replenishment (CPFR) Software
A standardized way for organizations
to use the Internet to exchange data.
6. 9–6
Making Forecasting More Effective
1. Use simple forecasting methods.
2. Compare each forecast with its corresponding
“no change” forecast.
3. Don’t rely on a single forecasting method.
4. Don’t assume that the turning points in a trend
can be accurately identified.
5. Shorten the time period covered by a forecast.
6. Remember that forecasting is a developed
managerial skill that supports decision making.
7. 9–7
Benchmarking
• The search for the best practices among
competitors and noncompetitors that lead to
their superior performance.
• By analyzing and copying these practices, firms
can improve their performance.
8. 9–8
The Benchmarking Process
1. Form a benchmarking team.
1. Identify what is to be benchmarked, select
comparison organizations, and determine data
collection methods.
2. Collect internal and external data on work
methods.
3. Analyze data to identify performance gaps and
the cause of differences.
4. Prepare and implement an action plan to meet
or exceed the standards of others.
9. Allocating Resources
• Types of Resources
The assets of the organization
Financial: debt, equity, and retained earnings
Physical: buildings, equipment, and raw materials
Human: experiences, skills, knowledge, and
competencies
Intangible: brand names, patents, reputation,
trademarks, copyrights, and databases
Structural/cultural: history, culture, work systems,
working relationships, trust, and policies
11. 9–11
Allocating Resources: Budgeting
• Budgets
Numerical plans for allocating resources (e.g.,
revenues, expenses, and capital expenditures).
Used to improve time, space, and use of material
resources.
Are the most commonly used
and most widely applicable
planning technique for
organizations.
13. 9–13
Suggestions for Improving Budgeting
• Be flexible.
• Goals should drive budgets—budgets should not
determine goals.
• Coordinate budgeting throughout the organization.
• Use budgeting/planning software when
appropriate.
• Remember that budgets are tools.
• Remember that profits result from smart
management, not because you budgeted for them.
14. 9–14
Allocating Resources: Scheduling
• Schedules
Plans that allocate resources by detailing what
activities have to be done, the order in which they are
to be completed, who is to do each, and when they
are to be completed.
Represent the coordination of various activities.
15. Allocating Resources: Charting
• Gantt Chart
A bar graph with time on the horizontal axis and
activities to be accomplished on the vertical axis.
Shows the expected and actual progress of various
tasks.
• Load Chart
A modified Gantt chart that lists entire departments or
specific resources on the vertical axis.
Allows managers to plan and control capacity
utilization.
18. 9–18
Allocating Resources: Analysis
• Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)
A flow chart diagram that depicts the sequence of activities
needed to complete a project and the time or costs
associated with each activity.
Events: endpoints for completion.
Activities: time required for each activity.
Slack time: the time that a completed activity waits for
another activity to finish so that the next activity, which
depends on the completion of both activities, can start.
Critical path: the path (ordering) of activities that allows
all tasks to be completed with the least slack time.
19. 9–19
Steps in Developing a PERT Network
1. Identify every significant activity that must be achieved
for a project to be completed.
2. Determine the order in which these events must be
completed.
3. Diagram the flow of activities from start to finish,
identifying each activity and its relationship to all other
activities.
4. Compute a time estimate for completing each activity.
5. Using the network diagram that contains time estimates
for each activity, determine a schedule for the start and
finish dates of each activity and for the entire project.

Building
Critical Path: A - B - C - D - G - H - J - K
22. 9–22
Allocating Resources: Analysis (cont’d)
• Breakeven Analysis
Is used to determine the point at which all fixed costs
have been recovered and profitability begins.
Fixed cost (FC)
Variable costs (VC)
Total Fixed Costs (TFC)
Price (P)
• The Break-even Formula:
CostsVariableUnit-PriceUnit
CostsFixedTotal
Breakeven:
25. 9–25
Allocating Resources: Analysis (cont’d)
• Linear Programming
A technique that seeks to solve resource allocation
problems using the proportional relationships
between two variables.
28. 9–28
Contemporary Planning Techniques
• Project
A one-time-only set of activities that has a definite
beginning and ending point time.
• Project Management
The task of getting a project’s activities done on time,
within budget, and according to specifications.
Define project goals
Identify all required activities, materials, and labor
Determine the sequence of completion
30. 9–30
Contemporary Planning Techniques
• Scenario
A consistent view of what the future is likely to be.
• Scenario Planning
An attempt not try to predict the future but to reduce
uncertainty by playing out potential situations under
different specified conditions.
• Contingency Planning
Developing scenarios that allow managers determine
in advance what their actions should be should a
considered event actually occur.
31. 9–31
Preparing for Unexpected Events
• Identify potential unexpected events.
• Determine if any of these events would have
early indicators.
• Set up an information gathering system to
identify early indicators.
• Have appropriate responses (plans) in place if
these unexpected events occur.
