Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

Some Calculus
¤ Great Team in Bad Market = Failure to “meh” result
¤ OK team + Great Market = could be great result
¤ Great Product + no path to revenue = failure
¤ OK product + great monetization = make $$
¤ Great market + great product + great team + solid
monetization + great execution (growth) = monster result

acquired, it’s a good place to start

EBITDA or Earning (PE) is rough
¤ Notes:
¤ Combination models aren’t clearly calculated
¤ Current stock prices reflect Covid Era pricing (ttm)

Summary
¤ Dave did not say: This is not a method you can use to calculate
your current valuation of a pre-revenue company!
¤ Too many variable at early revenue stage to calculate
¤ See Berkus Method for a 20 year method
¤ It can help you pick you potential buyers
¤ Based on track record (size/stage/tech)
¤ Business Development as a process
¤ The data is still a work in progress
¤ Startup need to be creative, in product and marketing. Not
revenue models
