Driving Business Innovation - Call for Proposals for Round 2BusinessVictoria
The Driving Business Innovation Program supports SMEs to develop technology that meets specified needs of Victorian Government agencies. It focuses on commercial outcomes as well as technical success.
We offer a unique devolution deal between Government
and the two Combined Authorities of the D2N2 LEP area.
The first deal in a two-tier area with significant physical,
social and geographic challenges. This deal represents a
nationally scalable model of sustained economic growth
in partnership with cities, counties and districts.
Using the two Combined Authorities as the platform for
strong cohesive delivery, we are resolute in ensuring that our
devolution ambitions drive sustainable economic growth
across the D2N2 LEP area. Detailed in this prospectus is our
approach of robust local collaboration and firm commitment
to work in partnership with Government. Our key proposals
that demonstrate this ambition are to establish:
1. A Free Trade Zone in association with East Midlands
Airport. We will work with Government to develop a
fully costed business case, and define its form, location
and development
2. An Investment Fund to maximise market success
through the finance required to develop infrastructure
and help business to grow
3. London Style Transport Powers for bus franchising to
better manage and rebalance the network, the devolution
of traffic management powers to allow more efficient
operation of local roads and direct influence over the
management and programming of enhancements to the
motorway and trunk road network.
Through this Devolution Prospectus, D2N2 makes the
offer to Government to:
• Provide a model of two-tier devolution that is scalable
nationally;
• Make resources and funding go further that will
demonstrate real value for money;
• Enable Government to talk to us as two Combined
Authorities;
• Increase competitiveness for UK businesses in terms
of trading on a global scale;
• Help create the 55,000 new private sector jobs
committed to in our Strategic Economic Plan;
• Develop a Further Education approach in the two areas
that is focused on business need now and in the future;
• Ensure more of our population become economically
active, reducing NEET levels, unemployment and the
welfare burden;
• Deliver a collective approach with developers to bring
forward sites that are exclusively or predominantly
employment-related, including the reclaiming of
contaminated sites;
• Coordinate local responses through our two Combined
Authorities to key national infrastructure decisions such
as HS2 and trunk road programmes;
• Deliver a detailed programme of strategic infrastructure
improvement through the Midlands Connect process;
• Develop an international exemplar through a Smart
Commission taking our traditional connectivity
strengths into a new age;
• Develop an advanced energy strategy that secures the
long-term security and affordability of supply and
development of the low-carbon sector.

Employability skills help young people and adults to find work, to make a positive contribution within work, and consequently to add value to their employing organisation as they develop their career.
D2N2 have prioritised the development of employability skills for young people as an integral component of its economic strategy to be delivered through the articulation and roll-out of an Employability Framework to address questions of employer demand and skills supply at a manageable local level.
Employers, learning providers, local government and other key stakeholders can work together to define what an economic area needs and then implement plans to meet those needs together.
At the core of this new Framework is the idea that all young people should have the opportunity to engage with employers, learn about the world of work and develop their employability skills.
It is critical that the D2N2 Employability Framework prepares
young people for lifelong careers in the area’s industries. This is about making the young people of D2N2 both employable and effective career managers.
The development of employability skills is not just a quick fix, although it should increase the number of young people who are working, rather, over the long term it must also support the development of higher level skills through Apprenticeships and participation in further and higher education.
The young people of the D2N2 area should complete their education with good qualifications, experience of the workplace and the ability to secure employment that will contribute to the area’s economy.

Teachers play a vital role in society by educating and shaping the minds of students. If you're considering a career as a teacher, here are some key aspects to consider:
Passion for Education: Teaching requires a genuine passion for education and a desire to make a positive impact on students' lives. Ask yourself if you enjoy working with young people, if you find joy in helping others learn, and if you have a genuine interest in the subjects you would like to teach.
Communication and Interpersonal Skills: Effective teachers possess strong communication and interpersonal skills. They can convey information clearly, engage students in discussions, and build positive relationships with their students, parents, and colleagues.
Patience and Adaptability: Teaching can be challenging, so it's important to be patient and adaptable. Students come from diverse backgrounds and have different learning styles and abilities. As a teacher, you need to be patient, understanding, and willing to adapt your teaching methods to meet the needs of individual students.
Continuous Learning: Education is a lifelong journey, and teachers are lifelong learners. To be effective, teachers must stay up-to-date with the latest teaching techniques, curriculum changes, and educational trends. Continuing professional development is crucial to provide the best learning experience for students.
Impact and Influence: Teaching offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact on students' lives. As a teacher, you have the power to inspire, motivate, and empower students. The ability to shape young minds and help students reach their full potential can be incredibly rewarding.
Challenges and Rewards: Teaching can be both challenging and rewarding. It requires dedication, resilience, and the ability to handle various responsibilities such as lesson planning, grading, classroom management, and addressing individual student needs. However, the joy of seeing students grow, learn, and succeed can make it all worthwhile.
Professional Support: Look into the support available for teachers, such as mentoring programs, professional development opportunities, and a supportive school community. Having a supportive network can help you thrive and overcome challenges in your teaching career.
Remember, teaching is a profession that requires commitment and a genuine interest in nurturing the minds of future generations. It's important to thoroughly research the education requirements and licensing processes in your country or region to ensure you meet the necessary qualifications. Consider shadowing or volunteering in classrooms to gain firsthand experience and a better understanding of the teaching profession before making a final decision.

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

Same again, two votes each
Summarise findings – and open up for discussion
Are there any key barriers or needs that we haven’t identified?
David
Next two sessions will focus on the proposed Innovation Plan
What will the plan deliver? (slide)
Proposing a series of actions that will achieve this - and indicators to track success over time
Resources – partners facing in the same direction + funding
Main source – EUSIF, £20m-£30m over 6 years, with requirement of 50% match from other sources
Comes with strings attached – limit to what can be supported
Many of the elements of the area’s existing innovation ecosystem are currently funded by the previous European programme
Would be a mistake to dismantle what’s there – strategy is to build on what works and fill gaps to meet businesses’ needs
David
Like to focus on this part of the plan today
