Discover the right tools for your Project Management Office (PMO)Hussain Bandukwala
No matter what the domain, having the right tools at our disposal can make a significant difference.
In relevance to the PMO, it dictates the shift in our focus from management to administration.
Project/Program Managers often find themselves scrambling around to collect pertinent and accurate information to update their statuses, while Resource Managers may have to connect with several people to determine if they efficiently staffed their resources and have sufficient bench to staff upcoming initiatives.
These are some of the reasons to compel PMOs to surround themselves with the right tools. But what are the right tools? How did we end up with the not-so-right-tools? Why are the right tools so important?

What drives a great intranet user experience? Are we keeping it simple enough for our employees? Is the intranet user experience engaging enough for them to use it excitedly, and not just to complete the task?
Intranets have become more than just branding, graphics, leader messages, or news. Enabling employees to find relevant information is a critical use case for intranet success, so developing a consistent user experience is a vital step in deploying a successful Intranet. A resource-limited user experience team often focuses on the client-facing systems. That leaves the internal designs to evolve slowly, often without care or thought. Over time, this creates costs for the organization, as the intranet becomes inept and inhibits the employees from doing critical functions.
Enterprise are looking for intranet UX strategies that increase employee productivity, communication, and satisfaction. In this webinar we will capture some key aspects on what it takes to have amazing UX to the employees by just keeping it simple and follow basic usability guidelines. You will learn how to best support your organization, enable employee communication, and increase employee productivity and satisfaction by improving the intranet’s usability.
The webinar discusses the following in details:
• Intranet UX: An Introduction
• Understanding employees' needs, workflow, and tasks
• User-focused intranet design process
• Redesigning an intranet and catalysts for redesign
• Design Trends & Best Practices

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

3. 1.0 Purpose of this presentation
PMO templates are the core tools used by most project management office’s.
A number of processes need to be implemented to capture, analyse and monitor data
and the mechanism for the standard capture is usually templates.
This presentation will share 5 tips that will help when it comes to designing templates so
as to ensure that they are useable and achieve the required outcome.

4. 2.0 PMO template design tips overview
Copyright 2018. All rights reserved. www.pmmajik.com
This presentation provides 5 tips that will help you to develop high quality, pragmatic
PMO (and project) templates.
Design
Tips
5. 3.1 Ease of use
• When you design a template, think about the end user who will need to enter
data.
• Make sure that the layout is clear with instructions.
• If it is not clear, the template will be filled in incorrectly and / or the user will
get fed up and give up (plus probably tell everyone how bad the template is
and that the PMO do not know what they are doing and wasting time)
Copyright 2018. All rights reserved. www.pmmajik.com
6. 3.2 Big enough to see / read
• Just because you can set the font to point 6 or less to allow you to fit more
data onto the template, it does not mean you should. The design will look
very crowded, there may be an overwhelm of data and very difficult to read.
• Many stakeholders will get upset if they can not read the letters or, think you
are using a small font to hide bad messages.
• Remember the saying “less is more”.
• If there is only limited space, educate the project teams to write clearly and
only use the words that are needed to convey the information. Senior
management will appreciate this as they will quickly be able to understand
the information.
Copyright 2018. All rights reserved. www.pmmajik.com
7. 3.3 What does the template look like printed?
• Most people will print the templates, especially if they need to go into a
presentation pack. Try to make sure that the template will fit onto A4
landscape.
• Run a test print to make sure the design is clear.
• Designing for A4 will save a lot of time when you are copying and pasting
into a presentation.
• If you do find you have templates that stretch across the page, try to design
them so that the key data needed for a presentation is grouped together on
the left, then you can select this region and paste into the presentation.
Copyright 2018. All rights reserved. www.pmmajik.com
8. 3.4 Only add fields that add value
• A dashboard should only contain fields that need to be there. The same
applies to templates.
• Be hard on yourself and only add data fields that have a purpose.
• Avoid the nice to haves or the desire to collect data “just in case” someone
asks for it!
Copyright 2018. All rights reserved. www.pmmajik.com
9. 3.5 Professional design
• Perception is important as well as first impressions.
• A well laid out template, using the same font, colour scheme, etc will
promote confidence.
• Make sure that you do think about the aesthetics of the design and that it
enhances the data not draws the readers eyes to some ‘clunky’ graphic.
Copyright 2018. All rights reserved. www.pmmajik.com
10. 4.0 Summary
The investment of time in designing good templates can make such a difference to the
users entering the data and the recipients who review the content. Make time to ensure
that what is being produced in your PMO passes the grade!
Reminder of the 5 tips:
1. Ease of use
2. Big enough to read
3. What does it look like printed
4. Only use fields that add value
5. Professional design
