Understanding the impact of welfare reforms on households in the South EastPolicy in Practice
With the lower Benefit Cap coming in Autumn 2016 and Universal Credit firmly in its implementation phase, knowing what impact welfare reform policies will have on individual households is more critical than ever.
It’s also important to understand the impact of interventions. Targeting support to those households where it will have the greatest impact is crucial as local authorities continue to find ways to deliver more with less.
This Policy in Practice seminar from Wednesday 28 September 2016 showcased pioneering work being done by two London councils, Croydon and Tower Hamlets. Their work combines pre-emptive analysis with proactive programmes that will reach out to households and offer support, before reforms hit them.
On Tuesday 27th April 2021, KTN in partnership with Innovate UK and BEIS, hosted a Management Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) – An interactive guide event. This webinar will provide you with the opportunity to hear from KTN’s experienced Knowledge Transfer Adviser Team who help deliver the KTPs / Management KTPs Programme. The webinar also showcases case studies from businesses and academics who are currently involved in Management KTP projects.

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.

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

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Worked with Whistl, Aldi, Keoghs, Light Cinema and others to connect our residents to quality employment and training opportunities
Started this month – but are businesses aware of the opportunities/challenges and support on offer?
One example of how we support local business is App Levy – supporting local employers to maximise the Levy and recruit local young people…Very short overview…
The apprenticeship levy will be charged at a rate of 0.5% of an employer’s payroll where payroll is in excess of £3million
Why all the changes?
•To get employers to own the funding system.
•Find out the key drivers of employer businesses and target growth.
•Double the amount of funding for apprenticeships from £1.5 Billion to £3 Billion.
•Raise the standards of apprenticeships.
Employers with a payroll of over £3m will be most obviously affected although changes will affect all businesses – big medium and small represented here today…
Not just bigger businesses -Apprenticeship funding for non-Levy payers is also being changed, with the government contributing 90% of the training costs, while employers need only contribute 10%. Taking the government’s co-investment into account, apprenticeship-based training can cost a less than many commercial or private-sector courses. There’s also a range of extra funding available for organisations taking on young adults, or in deprived areas. Eg…
Implications for employers with <50 people working for them:
Able to train 16 to 18 year old apprentices at no cost.
Take on a 19 to 24 year old apprentice who was formerly in care or has a Local Authority Education, Health and Care plan.
The government will pay 100% of the apprenticeship training costs for these individuals.
AGE grant still applies for those with <250 employees until July, 2017. Partnership including Council, training provider and other working in partnership with Gm (Growth Hub) on hand to provide guidance and support
Levy c30 affected organisations including schools. There is extensive engagement underway at a national, Gm (growth hub) and local level (Team Bolton) to support you– apprenticeship can be a complex area to navigate – local providers via Partnership and Growth Hub can help
Exciting time – new degree apprenticeships due to come online from the University
Apprenticeship Group – co-ordinating and shaping provision locally- want businesses to have a leading role in this agenda e.g. Seddon
Work with us to train and recruit locally!
Our Quick Wins workshops are being run in partnership with the local authorities in GM. We already have workshops booked in Manchester, Bury, Trafford, Tameside, Stockport and Bolton. The workshop in Bolton is being held on the 6th of July at Bolton College.
Later in the year we will be running the specialist masterclasses to follow up on these Quick Wins workshops.
