- To further the practice and thinking of inclusive market development facilitation through a systematic process of learning and action-research between market facilitators and M&E and complexity experts, mainly through the Complexity Dialogues and the Systemic M&E Initiative.
- To produce knowledge products based on MaFI’s learning agenda and processes (e.g. online discussions, webinars and in-person meetings) that inform and build the capacity of field practitioners and are relevant and interesting to other decision-makers such as donors and lead firms.
- To promote in-person interactions and local-global dialogue, learning and coordination through formal and informal initiatives such as Local Learning Groups, MaFI Ambassadors, workshops and conferences.
- To continue improving the efficiency and effectiveness of MaFI’s back-end operations (e.g. guidance to members, processing and selection of requests to join, MaFI introductions, selection of Top Influencer of the Month, etc.)
Modules:
- M&E of MaFI: To build better theories of change and indicators to monitor how learning and collaboration processes change in MaFI and to assess MaFI’s impacts on its members
- MaFI “Instructions Manual”: To codify the operational principles and the lessons learned by the facilitator of MaFI since its beginnings in 2007-8 and to provide tips and instructions about how to manage the back-end processes that keep MaFI running efficiently.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

3.1 Why innovation
is so important?
CHAPTER 1
Innovation is the driving force behind both your
business and the reason why civilisation is constantly
developing and people can benefit from solutions
that make their work easier and support their quality
of life.
Cambridge Dictionary defines innovation as:
„(the use of) a new idea or method”
When referring to the RETAIL market, we can talk
about innovation when, for example, we introduce
new better products, new sales models, improve
customer service through the introduction of
technology, etc.

Where to look for
innovations
Constant improvement of your business, also by
exploring innovative solutions, is definitely a difficult
task. However, there are several ways that can help
you get inspired, for example:
• Ask customers – it can be done by a simple
questionnaire / interview;
• Observe customers – observing customers can
give you a lot to think about. You can watch your
customers' activity both in the physical shop and
online (for example by usying mouse recorder);
• Eliminate/Add – consider what you can eliminate
or add to your business / product / service to
increase customer experience;
• What if? – create different scenarios and look for
interesting and surprising solutions.

The risk is integrated part of innovation. However, a
lot depends on how you run your business and what
decisions you make.
Different risks may occur depending on what stage
you are at with your business and what type of
innovation you plan to implement:
• Incremental innovation
will be less risky and will generally have a long
duration;
• Radical innovation
innovations that completely change the way business
operates.

As a first step partners will develop the methodology for an intergenerational approach as chosen to
deliver the training. The aim of this output is to create long term relationships between an
entrepreneur, responsible for running a retail business and a youth, who will help them introduce
sustainable changes to the business. In order to reach this objective, a framework for the
collaboration will be developed. The relationship will be be voluntary and included as such in the
framework but encouraged in order to maximise participation in the training activity and further
apprenticeship programmes. Partners will explore existing suitable frameworks that can be used in
the RETAIL project. In addition, partners will seek involvement of relevant networks to increase the
project scope. For instance, DCC is a member of the Enterprise Europe Network with EASME
actively encouraging members to collaborate and engage with all relevant EU projects. Partner will
also explore other relevant programmes such as mobility programmes (Erasmus+, Erasmus for
young entrepreneurs), etc. From this work, a methodological report will be issued.

CHAPTER 2
How to deal with barriers
Depending on which barriers occur in your situation,
you may react differently.
There are several things you can always try:
Academic Business Incubators – you can look for help
in the field of consulting;
Business Angels – you can contact them for financial
support and guidelines;
EU funds – you may receive funding to implement
innovative initiatives;
Internet – is still an excellent source of information as
long as you know how to use it;
Online training – there is an increasing number of
different training courses and workshops, often free of
charge, which can help you to learn how to run a
business;
Crowdfunding – helps to get funding for the idea.

CHAPTER 2
Risk analysis
To analyse the risk of innovation, you can use
templates like this:
•Here you have a choice of
fundamentally 5 techniques
that you can assign to each
of the risks, i.e:
•Avoidance
•Retention
•Sharing
•Transferring
•Loss prevention and
reduction
•This part includes risk
controlling and
monitoring. You must
establish the methods
by which you will check
and monitor the risk.
•Here you have to
assess the risks. You
can do so, for example,
by assessing the
possibility of risk and
making an estimate of
what losses it may
cause.
•Here you have to
identify possible risks. It
is good to group them
into relevant categories
Risk
identification
Risk
evaluation
Risk handing
Risk

What is the impact of
innovation?
Nowadays, innovation is often one of the most
wanted characteristics in business. Your retail
operation can be unique in terms of innovation in
many fields, such as:
- Innovative customer service;
- Innovative product;
- Use of the latest technology such as AR or AI.
Innovations will allow to attract customers and stand
out from the crowd of other businesses. Innovation
can also result from respecting specific values.
For 83% of the Millennials it is important that the
company where they buy shares their values and 71%
of them are able to pay more for the product if part
of this money goes to charity [source: 5W PR 2020
REPORT].

Blue Ocean Strategy
The Blue Ocean strategy is based on creating your
own new market instead of competing with other
companies and their products. This is a very
interesting strategy that allows you to adapt your
products to a narrower but not yet developed market.
An example of the Blue Ocean
Strategy is the release of
toothpaste for children. They
extracted part of the market
and reduced the number of
customers, yet it was a very
good idea.
The producers then created a
new market for their product. Icon made by Freepik from Flaticon.com

CHAPTER 4
Is it innovative?
To assess innovation, the first thing you need to do is
to check if your product is really innovative (see slide
18).
If it is, then the next steps you have to take are to
consider what benefits it will bring to you and your
business and what risks you are exposed to by
introducing it.
Remember to be open to changes to your original
idea. Sometimes authors "fall in love" with their ideas
and do not want to apply any changes to them, even
though they could come up with something even
more innovative and creative.
