McKinsey's Jennifer Stanley goes beyond the latest research about when to use digital and when not to. Digital might be the answer, but what is the question? Clearly digital is a game changer for sales organizations that do it well and are in the lead. B2B players that embed digital in their go-to market programs grow >5x faster than their peers and have 30% higher acquisition efficiency.

Women Matter 2012: Making the breakthrough, examines the gender-diversity programs of 235 large European companies. The report investigates what initiatives companies are taking, what is working well or less well, and why.
The research found that most companies are now taking gender diversity issues extremely seriously, devoting real resources to redressing the gender imbalance. But many companies also expressed frustration that their efforts do not always create the expected impact.

Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

If you buy now the price is $2,000. If you
wait the price may drop to $1,500 or rise to
$2,200. There also may be a new model

Sunny wants to join WMP from IIM Lucknow, Noida Campus.
She is hopeful that if after completion of course she will get better opportunity and
her salary will be INR 50,00,000, if the economy is good. If the economy is average,
she will get a salary of Rs. 40,00,000. If economy is bad she will get Rs. 30,00,000. The
fee for course is approx. Rs. 8,10,000. Also she estimates that there would be some
incidental expenses of Rs. 2,90,000 on commuting etc.
In case she does not enroll for the course she will get increment on her current salary
of Rs. 20,00,000 @ 30%, 20% or 10% incase of economy is good, average or bad
during the duration of the course. The probability of economy to be good or bad is
30% each and to be average is 40%

26. Decision Tree
• A Decision Tree is a chronological representation
of the decision process.
• The tree is composed of nodes and branches.
A branch emanating from a state of
nature (chance) node corresponds to a
particular state of nature, and includes
the probability of this state of nature.

Kaun Banega Crorepati
You are a contestant on “Kaun Bangega Crorepati?” You already have answered the Rs.
25L question correctly and now must decide if you would like to answer the Rs. 50L
question. You can choose to walk away at this point with Rs. 25L in winnings or you may
decide to answer the Rs. 50L question. If you answer the Rs. 50L question correctly, you
can then choose to walk away with Rs. 50L in winnings or go on and try to answer the Rs.
100L question. If you answer the Rs. 100L question correctly, the game is over and you
win Rs. 100L. If you answer either question incorrectly, the game is over immediately and
you take home “only” Rs. 3.2L.
You have the “phone a friend” lifeline remaining. With this option, you may phone a
friend to obtain advice on the correct answer to a question before giving your answer. You
may use this option only once (i.e., you can use it on either the Rs. 50L question or the Rs.
100L). Since some of your friends are smarter than you are, “phone a friend” significantly
improves your odds for answering a question correctly. Without “phone a friend,” if you
choose to answer the Rs. 50L question you have a 65% chance of answering correctly,
and if you choose to answer the Rs. 100L question you have a 50% chance of answering
correctly (the questions get progressively more difficult). With “phone a friend,” you have
an 80% chance of answering the Rs. 50L question correctly and a 65% chance of
answering the Rs. 100L question correctly.
