WELCOME TO CSR SUMMIT 2014!
This CSR Summit is a 10 year success story between us.
We have accomplished so much with 'you'; the achievements now speak for themselves. On a geographical level, our conference is now regional with conferences held in Doha and Jeddah in 2013. From an achievement perspective, the summit has fostered award winning entrepreneurial initiatives, successful partnerships, gained SROI (social ROI certification) for SME establishments and much more – all under one 'sustainable' roof!
In addition to a focused portfolio we have also gained a 'certified' status for our workshop where corporates, institutions and entrepreneurs engage in fostering alliances to enhance the business model. They focus on:
Employment creation via community engagement
Cascading knowledge via corporate and institutional partnerships
Empowering the next generation via SME and Entrepreneurship
Every year this flagship gathering of CSR professionals is preceded by PR campaigns, blogs, tweets, press releases and live media coverage!

4Q-Canvas: 4 Questions for Discovering and Solving Customer Problems EverywhereRod King, Ph.D.
There are myriad problems in the world. However, problems are discovered and solved using just 4 basic questions: Why? Who? What? How? These 4 Questions (4Q) are mainly presented using a blank template of the 4Q-Canvas. Nevertheless, some other visual templates such as the 4Q-Iceberg and 6Q-Star are shown.
Also, included are variations of the 4Q-Canvas for problem discovery and solving in various domains. This presentation illustrates the power of using the 4Q-Canvas for Universal Problem Solving.
Playbook on how to build a B2B sales machine aka how to build a "$100 mln business". Delivered this talk with a few organizations including R3 Corda Seed+Series-A Startups, B Work Bali startup community.
A few topics covered included:
⮞ Christoph Janz’ / Boris Wertz animal framework on how your hunting strategies differ for customers at different ARPA level
⮞ the anatomy of #growth engines
⮞ Deep dive into the #B2B outbound playbook for seed level #startups with limited budgets.
3-Act Business Model Storyboard for LEAN STARTUP PIVOTS: A Visual Template fo...Rod King, Ph.D.
If there were to be a single word that describes the Lean Startup methodology, I’d vote for “Pivot.” However, “Pivot” is one of the most abused terms in the lexicon of a Lean Startup.
In his book, “The Lean Startup,” Eric Ries notes: “A pivot is a special kind of change designed to test a new fundamental hypothesis about the product, business model, and engine of growth.” He then lists 10 types of pivots that can occur in a startup. He suggests that startups should have regular “Pivot or Persevere” meetings. The typology of pivots is strongly tied to the building blocks and profit logic of a business model. However, Ries does not illustrate the typology of pivots especially within the framework and profit logic of a business model.
This presentation on the 3-Act Business Model Storyboard visually organizes the 10 types of pivots within the profit logic of a business model; see http://goo.gl/MorILv . Consequently, one can see how a pivot in one part of a business model affects other parts of the Lean Startup’s business model. The Business Model Storyboard also indicates why it’s difficult to make pivots or structural changes in established business models; I describe this phenomenon as “Pivot Inertia (PI).” Pivot Inertia is responsible for the demise of once established firms such as Blockbuster and Borders. Overcoming Pivot Inertia is critical for the success of both startups and established businesses. Google, PayPal, and Groupon all overcame Pivot Inertia and made a fortune.
Finally, there is a template of the Business Model Storyboard that facilitates application of the Lean Startup Method. In particular, the Business Model Storyboard facilitates the process of formulating, testing, and validating business model hypotheses of Lean Startups. Using the Business Model Storyboard should make easier the understanding, planning, and execution of pivots in both startups and established companies.

Slide deck introducing strategies to kickstart innovation programs in organizations. Speakers: Oscar Malpica, Envisioning Labs CEO and Cliff Edwards, Innocentive Top Solver.
Recently, I read what may be the best book to date on tactically applying Lean Storyboarding to risky projects and decision-making in organizations. The book is “The Innovator’s Method: Bringing the Lean Startup Into Your Organization” by Nathan Furr & Jeff Dyer. Lean Startup Storyboarding focuses on answering the Lean Startup Question: How to rapidly discover and solve a Big Urgent Market Problem (BUMP)? Lean Startup Storyboarding is synonymous with Lean Startup Problem Solving as well as Lean System Problem Solving.
For those, who are not familiar with Lean Storyboarding, one could use the formal definition below, which I developed based on Eric Ries’s seminal book, “The Lean Startup.”
Lean Storyboarding refers to a tightly integrated set of tools for rapid lean improvement and innovation that lead to radically successful business models (under conditions of extreme uncertainty).
Small, medium, and large businesses are eager to adopt Lean Storyboarding as it promises two things. The first is achievement of the objective of “rapid lean improvement and innovation” which is regarded (a la Joseph Schumpeter’s “Creative destruction” as well as John Boyd’s “OODA Loop”) as a prerequisite for business model survival and growth especially in a hypercompetitive environment. The second reason is rapidly achieving the highly desirable outcome of radically successful business models that are developed under conditions of extreme uncertainty. In other words, Lean Storyboarding promises to solve, in one swoop, the Big Urgent Market Problem (BUMP) of slow customer problem solving, business decision-making, and experimentation (execution) as well as wasteful innovation.
Given the attractive value proposition of Lean Storyboarding, more and more large organizations want to act like “Lean Startups” while adopting Lean Storyboarding. However, unlike in the Six Sigma methodology, there is currently no “standard” framework, process, template, or “operating manual” for Lean Storyboarding, that is, rapid application of the Lean Startup method to improvement and innovation projects. Lean Storyboarding is a nascent field. At the moment, Lean Startup projects are mainly guided by Lean Startup principles and ideas as outlined in Ries’s book, “The Lean Startup,” nothwithstanding a lot of disparate templates and “canvases” as well as acronyms and buzzwords: MVP; GOOB; Build-Measure-Learn Loop; Hypothesis; Experiment; Validated Learning; Problem-Solution Fit; Product-Market Fit; Pivot. The result is Slow Lean Startup Problem Solving (LSPS) which defeats the primary purpose and essence of a Lean Startup.
The approach of Lean Storyboarding is designed to solve the above mentioned problems while helping organizations rapidly do lean improvement and innovation projects.

Venture on demand: step up your start-up gameXylos
Intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship increasingly go well together. Corporations learn how to act lean and increase their speed of execution. Start-ups on the other hand get access to important corporate resources in terms of market knowledge, data and cash. In this breakfast session, Nicolas Cap told us more about how the start-up-as-a-service model works.
LEAN STARTUP LIFECYCLE: 5 Stages in the Evolution of Billion Dollar $tartupsRod King, Ph.D.
This presentation builds on Steve Blank's three stage model for the evolution of scalable startups. Steve Blank's three stages are Startup, Transition, and Company. The above "Lean Startup Lifecycle" includes these three stages as well as illustrates other ideas such as Problem-Solution Fit, Product-Market Fit, and Business Model Fit/Scaling. Unlike in Steve Blank's approach, the Lean Startup Lifecycle presents the OTHER Loop as tool for solving novel (emergent) and routine (deliberate) problems when building a scalable startup.
The Lean Startup Lifecycle can be used as a descriptive tool to comprehensively explain the evolution of scalable startups as well as a prescriptive tool or roadmap for guiding the development of scalable startups or Billion Dollar Companies. The Lean Startup Lifecycle posits that every Billion Dollar $tartup goes through forms in its lifecycle: Adaptive Startup; Shaping Startup; Transition; Visionary Company; Classic Company.
MISSION MODEL CANVAS vs. BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS: Mission-Driven Organizations ...Rod King, Ph.D.
In this presentation, the 4Q-Diamond is used to visually present the Business Model Canvas as well as Mission Model Canvas. In this way, the similarities and differences of the two tools can be identified. Further, each tool can be extended for more comprehensive and robust problem solving as well as project management.
The presentation shows the Mission Model Canvas vis-a-vis the Business Model Canvas.
Business Model Genome: How Great Leaders, Managers, and Strategists HOLISTICA...Rod King, Ph.D.
The world's greatest leaders, managers, and strategists holistically discover and solve problems. Yet, many publications especially business books present fragmented frameworks and tools for discovering and solving problems especially with a view to business model improvement and innovation. This presentation introduces the Business Model Genome, which is a holistic visual framework that facilitates multilevel problem solving especially using a Why-What-How or End-Ways-Means Hierarchy.
Understanding the logic of the Business Model Genome framework improves the use of many frameworks in business including traditional tools such as the 5 Forces, Value Chain, and Balanced Scorecard as well as recent tools such as Business Model Canvas and Lean Canvas. Leaders, Managers, and Strategists can use the versatile framework of the Business Model Genome to discover and solve problems in any domain.

The 4 Perspectives of BUSINESS MODEL PROJECT MANAGEMENT: Why Some Businesses ...Rod King, Ph.D.
In the world of business a dangerous gulf or schism exists between "Strategy" on the one hand and "Execution" on the other hand. Many Strategy projects are not implemented. And of those implemented, about 70% fail.
This presentation introduces the approach of "Business Model Project Management" as an approach to seamlessly integrate Strategy and Execution. Business Model Project Management assumes a "business model" as the unit of organization, analysis, and management of every project. The presentation introduces a novel tool called the "Business Model Diamond."
The Business Model Diamond is a visual checklist that can be used in projects involving business model documentation, improvement, innovation, and storytelling. Unique to the Business Model Diamond are its four (ICES) perspectives: Investor, Customer, Enterprise, and Strategist Perspectives. Successful businesses constantly keep these four perspectives in focus while trying to find a positive dynamic balance between them. In businesses that fail, the four perspectives are either fragmented or misaligned.

1-Page Visual Tool for MILITARY Problem Solving, Project Planning, Improvemen...Rod King, Ph.D.
I recently developed the BCG-Business Model Court as a 1-Page Tool for UNIVERSAL Problem Solving, Project Planning, Improvement, and Innovation. In this presentation, the BCG-Business Model Court is customized in the form of a BCG-Business Model Wargame. This BCG-Business Model Wargame can be used for MILITARY Problem Solving, Project Planning, Innovation, and Improvement at any level. It is important that this presentation does not endorse war. The approach is purely academic as the tool can be used to explain as well as prevent wars (conflicts) in the military as well as other spheres of life. The BCG-Business Model Court should be regarded as a visual synthesis of tools for universal problem solving, project planning, improvement, and innovation. If we could use one platform and a common language for problem solving, project planning, improvement, and innovation, the world would be a much happier place.
A diverse team can throw any problem in any area of life to the BCG-Business Model Court while looking for ideal (win-win) solutions. The BCG-Business Model Court and Wargame allow a user to explore problems and solutions from multiple perspectives or stakeholders.
BUSINESS MODEL PROBLEM SOLVING Using the Business Periodic TableRod King, Ph.D.
The purpose of a business model is to rapidly create, deliver, and share an ecstatic (magical) experience for customers and other stakeholders. But, how?
This presentation on Business Model Problem Solving presents the framework of the Business Periodic Table as a framework for rapidly discovering and solving customer problems especially with a view to obtaining an Net Brand Affinity Score (NBA) Score of 100%. The NBA Score, which is calculated based on results from a FeelingMeter Survey, refers to the percentage difference between "Fans" and "Detractors."
UPSPM Menu for Answering THE TOUGHEST QUESTION IN BUSINESSRod King, Ph.D.
What is the toughest question in business?
Whether your organization is a matured company or a Lean Startup, the toughest question in business is arguably: WILL OUR BUSINESS PROJECT SUCCEED?
There are many approaches for answering the toughest question in business or Business Viability Question (BVQ). This Slide deck uniquely presents the Universal Problem Solving & Project Management (UPSPM) Menu which is a visual summary of five popular approaches. The tabular format of the presentation facilitates comparison of the pros and cons of each approach or tool.
An introduction to the Quartz Open FrameworkErik Wolf
Imagine a business where feedback from the market and learnings from iteration are instantly fed back into the business and acted upon. Imagine cross-functional teams speaking with a common language and using common practices. Imagine that innovation is a repeatable, scalable endeavour. Imagine that risk is reduced throughout the process and the opportunities for success are higher. When something is made, they know beforehand that someone wants to buy it. NOW.
This is a Quartz organization.

The Business Model Canvas has its trade-offs in terms of strengths and weaknesses. And so does the Lean Canvas. In the above presentation, the House of Lean Canvas and Business Model Canvas is presented. This house seamlessly integrates topics of the Lean Canvas and Business Model Canvas while eliminating the trade-off of each tool.
6 Gates to BUSINESS MODEL PROFITABILITY for Startups and Investors: Visually ...Rod King, Ph.D.
As the business landscape gets more and more competitive as well as volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous businesses especially startups are struggling to increase their profitability. This presentation offers a visual framework - the 6 Gates to Business Model Profitability - for systematically examining an organization's business model with a view to increasing profitability.
A hierarchy of 6 Gates of questions are presented for systematically exploring strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a business model. A Lean Business Model Canvas is presented as a tool for visually organizing, managing, and testing ideas for increasing profitability of a business model.
Note that topics of the "6 Gates to Business Model Profitability" can be used to evaluate a business model in terms of SWOT: Strengths; Weaknesses; Opportunities; Threats. Alternatively, one could assign a single numerical value on a scale from 1 to 10 regarding the different aspects of an organization's current business model.

What do startups like Twitter, GroupOn, and PayPal have in common? Each of these startups changed a vital block of their initial business model; in other words, they pivoted to a more successful business model and strategy. In contrast, companies such as Kodak and Blockbuster went bankrupt because they failed to pivot on their strategy and business model.
This presentation offers a visual framework - Business Model Pivot (BMP)-Mind Map - for summarizing and discussing business model pivots as well as generating ideas for business model innovation and disruption.

Corporate Social Responsibility in the GCC is evolving to meet the requirements of its changing socio-economic landscape.
Qatar plays a leading role in promoting social responsibility and has taken the lead in many areas of relevance. Qatar has shown growing interest on a global scale. Qatari companies have long understood their responsibilities to the local community and have consistently shown their support for activities that improve the lives and environment of the people of Qatar. Qatar's approach to sustainability is linked to the four pillars that underpin the Qatar National Vision 2030 and it is important to create a platform where more businesses can understand the benefits of CSR and foster partnerships with each other to drive results.
Although CSR is advanced in a few organisations, in many it's function, role and application isn't well understood.
The Summit will be a part of a series of CSR conferences run by IIR Middle East, with Summit's also held in Dubai and Saudi Arabia. The event presents a timely and practical agenda, driven by experienced experts who will share a 'no-frills' insight into the challenges encountered and success stories implemented.
Programme Highlights
- Understand CSR's benefits to the nation's socioeconomic landscape
- Embed specific drivers within your engagement plan to sustain CSR ROI
- Assess CSR models which align to your core business agenda

Webinar: Measuring And Monetizing Strategic Innovation Ali Zeeshan
To view recording, watch the video at end of the slide or visit https://youtu.be/AlBVmA3u37g
Measuring innovation can be difficult. Some assume that innovation is more of an art form. Or they realize that “innovation” is a word that means different things to different people, and so assume that it cannot be measured. This is unfortunate, because managing both innovation and measurement are critical to the successful execution of strategy and monetizing (or deriving tangible benefits from) your innovation efforts.
The webinar will provide valuable insights about these timely topics of performance management:
Webinar Topics
• The steps your organization can take to define what innovation means for your strategy
• The steps needed to design and implement a set of measures that will help you implement your strategy and achieve results
• Keys to monetizing innovation
• The critical factors for successfully introducing and managing strategic innovation
• How to develop and maintain a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship

This webinar introduces one of the main topics at our upcoming Saudi KPI for Business Strategy & Transformation workshop.
Join the Balanced Scorecard Institute's Howard Rohm, Co-Founder and President, and Suzy Nisbet, Senior Associate and Consultant, as they discuss developing strategic, operational, project, and organizational capacity KPIs, aligning KPIs to strategy, measuring intangible goals, streamlining measurement and reporting processes, and creating derivative KPIs for employees at all organizational levels.
Sharing best KPI practices from their worldwide client experience, this 40-minute webinar (followed by a 20-minute Q&A session) will provide the knowledge and insight to better understand the relationship between strategy and KPI's.
Webinar participants will learn how to:
• Improve managers' and employees' perception of the value and importance of measuring performance
• Lift the skill level of managers and employees in selecting meaningful measures and using those measures to make better informed decisions
• Use KPIs to build individual and collective accountability for results
With the Strategy Execution and Innovation Forum rapidly approaching, Howard Rohm, Co-Founder and President, and Joe DeCarlo, Vice President, International, of the Balanced Scorecard Institute, discussed on a live webinar how to improve strategy execution with innovation, and how to improve the strategic innovation process.

Time Management: Productivity and Time StealersAli Zeeshan
Some say there is nothing more precious than time so, as with all things that are precious to us, we should not waste it!
A poor use of time can lead to issues with: your personal finances and your long-term career aspirations; relationship problems at home; and/or health problems brought on by stress and anxiety.
Unfortunately, there are many demands coming from ‘time stealers’ who are, potentially, diverting you from using your time in the way you wish to use it.
The aim of this webinar is to provide you with a brief insight into the strategies, tools and techniques you can utilise to help you manage your time more effectively.

Many businessmen and women see contracts as legal documents, but a healthier approach is to see them as business documents which must be written the right way if they are to be legally enforceable. For many of us, therefore, leaving the contracts to the lawyers means that we miss an opportunity to have a contract which can be used as a working document which prevents problems with suppliers and customers. This webinar explains an approach which can be used to ensure that contracts prevent problems from occurring, or fully prescribe your rights and remedies should things go wrong.

The webinar covers the major business benefits management principles, practices and techniques that enable organisations to optimise the return from their investments in programmes and projects.
The Objectives Of This Webinar Are To Explain How To:
1. Relate the business case to business benefits
2. Differentiate between business KPIs vs Project KPIs
3. Establish a benefits management chart
4. Plan and prepare for organisational readiness
5. Plan to perform project transition and handover
6. Measure the realisation of business benefits
Business Benefits Realisation is about ensuring that programmes and projects deliver the forecasted benefits identified in a business case or project charter document. Obtaining an acceptable return on investment is critical, but many organisations struggle to demonstrate that their programmes and projects deliver the required business benefits.
Often there is confusion over what benefits are required, who should track them and how and what the effective measures should be. The explicit role of a project manager is to deliver the project to ensure the scope, schedule and budget components are satisfied. However the intrapreneurial and business-minded project manager is the one who is acutely aware of the business aspect of programmes and projects and truly understands the rationale driving their organisation’s investment strategy. This project manager provides true value.

This webinar is designed as a practical guide to using the Balanced Scorecard.
The Balanced Scorecard is a system used extensively in business and industry, government, and non-profit organisations worldwide to align business activities to the vision and strategy of the organisation, improve internal and external communications, and monitor organisation
performance against strategic goals.
The Balanced Scorecard was originated by Drs Robert Kaplan (Harvard Business School) and David Norton as a framework to help managers consider both financial and non-financial aspects of their business and design performance metrics around them.
While the phrase Balanced Scorecard was coined in the early 1990s, the roots of this type of approach are deep, and include the pioneering work of General Electric on performance measurement reporting in the 1950s and the work of French process engineers (who created the Tableau
de Bord – literally, a "dashboard" of performance measures) in the early part of the 20th century.

Webinar: Aligning the Employee to the Strategy of the OrganisationAli Zeeshan

For other Informa Webinars: http://www.informa-mea.com/webinars
Top management and the CEO decide on the goals and strategy of the organisation, but it is the staff who actually implement that strategy.
Most organisations struggle with the "cascade" of strategy from corporate level (Tier 1) to Unit / Department (Tier 2) and ultimately to the individual employee (Tier 3). If the employees are not aligned to the strategy, it is unlikely that the strategy will be successfully implemented.
To work effectively usually requires the close co-operation between the corporate strategy office and HR - because it is the HR Performance Management System that generally provides the process mechanism to align personal objectives/actions to the departmental (and ultimately, the organisational) strategy. That Strategy Office - HR interface is not always a strong relationship.

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.

Accounting for Value: Measuring & Understanding your return on Social
Investment
Creating welfare for our societies is what every company should exist for. But do we understand how to grasp the value
that is created away from revenues and profits? Are financial statements enough to understand the creation or destruction
of the broader value? The Social Return On Investment (SROI) is the application of a set of principles within a framework
that is designed to help bring this understanding of whether your company creates or destroys value – whilst at the same
time recognising that what is of value will be very different in a specific country, corporate or cultures.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Understand the purpose of SROI and what it brings to your company
• Apply the 7 Principles and know how to navigate an Impact Map
• Step-by-Step calculations through a concrete case: Palestyle
• Ability to tell a better story to partners and investors
