As we enter the digital economy, it becomes increasingly transparent that the information and data ecosphere will continue to be a complex environment for the foreseeable future, with information being provided from a variety of internal and external sources in the form of files, messages, queries and streams. It would be foolish for any organization to place their bets on any one platform to be their platform of choice because it is incongruent to the thought patterns of the consumers, suppliers, regulators, partners and financiers who will participate in their information ecosphere through data feeds, information requests and a host of other interfaces.
Rather, there is a role of each of these platforms which serve as the conduit for data and the transformation of data into information aligned with the value propositions of the organization. This writing is focused on the big data platform because there are some unique characteristics of the big data environment that require an approach different than many of the legacy environments that exist in organizations. Furthermore, while big data is the one environment that is new and requires these special handling characteristics, there will be future platforms with the same requirements as big data requires today, and hopefully lessons learned will be left to not revisit each of the challenges as the next transformational information ecosphere is made available.

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.

17. What’s a hook?
How fast can you change four tires? One hour? Ten
minutes? A few years ago I witnessed a Formula One
team do it in 2.7 seconds. They said a perfect run
would be just one second. In everything that I do I
strive to reach that one second – that perfect test
score, that perfect presentation, that perfect career.
After speaking with Jake Woodson, a recent hire, Dion
Chen, and other industry professionals, I know that my
personality and passion lies in sales and trading.
Through my unique athletic background and passion, I
will provide competitiveness and drive that will set a
benchmark for future interns. I cannot wait to sit on
a trading floor, execute trades, and engage in
research while receiving mentorship from the most
world-renowned investment bank. A career with Goldman
Sachs is my one second and this is how I will help
Goldman reach its own one second ideal:

Your advert posted on WEBSITE NAME for JOB TITLE really caught my attention;
Labatt has “good things brewing” and I would love to be a component of the “good
things”. I believe my XYZ (people management) experience alongside my drive,
tenacity and exemplary communications skills are a solid match to your needs. I

38. To do for next week
• TUTORIAL Next week!
• Enroll in your Turnitin Class
• For tutorial 2 hard copy Cover
Letter drafts for Peer review
• Skills Matrix due Friday, October
14th @ 2pm on Turnitin
• Sign up for Office Hours
When in doubt, apply anyways!
Don’t talk yourself out of the job just because you think you don’t have all qualifications.
Want? – you can discover this through the interview process
Cover Email is first, if they want more, look at your resume even more your cover letter
Get the important info to your potential employer as easily as possible, give them the info so they don’t have to dig!
Ask Class..
Is it because the job posting says so?
Or that’s what everyone always taught you to do and you don’t really know what youre doing
SPOILER ALERT contrary to popular belief some hiring managers actually DO read your cover letters
Integrating Research into your cover letter
Industry trend+ your research = how it will affect the company
Company position amongst competitors + your skills/experiences = Value added to their bottom line/mission
Company need + your ideas/sills = result you will create for them
Whats the difference between these two documents?
Cover letter shows your INTEREST in the firm
It shows your stories, but more importantly, how that links to their firm
Make connection right off the bat
Preface the skills that you’ll be showcasing
What are your perceived brand of these companies
Use whiteboard !
Get into 5 even groups
Take 5 minutes to brainstorm a creative hook for your assigned company
Be prepared to share!
Sync personal with company brand !
I feel like you can make any skill belong, if you’re able to build the right bridge and link.
When I was applying to the HR Co-op position with YVR I had had no prior industry experience ( and they were looking for a senior HR Student on their 2nd or 3rd co-op term) what I did was link what I had done as a 202 TA to the job posting Spoiler alert, I got the job and they said they were very impressed with my accomplishments as a TA..
Format:
Depends on industry, sometimes its better to use bullet points sometimes its better to use paragraphs..
WHY?
Problem is that you can replace ABC with any other company name, and they wouldn’t even be able to tell.
You have personalized a cover letter enough when you replace the co’s name with another company and it no longer works.
address the elephant in the room…
Travelling for a year? Werid hole in emplpyment history? Address it here.
Impression they’re left with after they finish reading your cover letter
