Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
ย
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.

1. Types & Purpose Of Meetings
MEETINGS
Definition:
โCome together as inevitably as the key to the magnet โHugh Walpoleโ
โIn a meeting, two or more people come together for the purpose of discussing a (usually)
predetermined topic such as business or community event planning, often in a formal setting.โ
Purpose Of Meetings
The purpose of regular meetings is to maintain the special contact already established between
numbers of people, each body of people being in a sense distinct.
Meetings are a primary process for organizational life. In fact, for many people, attending
meetings is what they do during most of the time they spend in the organizational setting. So, it
is essential that time spent in meetings be productive if we are to achieve effective individual and
organizational performance. This paper has been developed to help you think carefully about the
meetings you attend and, perhaps, lead. These gatherings should be harmonious, but should not
be allowed to become "club like" or gossipy. The special relationship is harmed by the
assumption of status by individual members of the group. Each member should discharge the
functions for the time being allotted to him, if any, as a communicator of material, as an
organizer, or whatever it might be. The community has to develop a sense of unity of purpose โ
learning and development โ in which each member is to be regarded as important for the
success of the whole. The special relationship is crippled by the exploitation of one member by
another, so that co-operation between individual members must be kept within reasonable limits.
The development of smaller, informal relationships between small numbers of people from
within the grouping must not be encouraged, as such "sub-groups" without official sanction start
to cause the group to operate in an unbalanced manner. The group will in such cases operate as
an ideological, social, intellectual or other entity, of which in any culture there are enough
already.

To Meet Or Not To Meet..?
The biggest waste of time is meeting when it's not necessary. You'd be surprised by how many of
your weekly meetings can be eliminated when you decide to meet only when it's absolutely
necessary. Here are some tips for deciding if a meeting is worth your time.
1. Has a Goal Been Set for the Meeting?
Is there a purpose for meeting, a goal to achieve? Every meeting should have an objective and if
the one you've been asked to attend doesn't, consider recommending that a memo or e-mail be
sent instead.
2. Has an Agenda Been Created Ahead of Time?
An agenda is the basis for an effective meeting. Creating and distributing the meeting agenda one
or two days before the meeting begins gives participants an opportunity to prepare for the
meeting. Having an agenda during the meeting also focuses the discussion and helps your group
stay on track.
3. Will the Appropriate People Be Attending?
If the appropriate people aren't present, then important decisions get put on hold. It will also take
time to update key individuals on what took place in the meeting they missed. It's better to put
the meeting on hold until all of the right people can be in the room.
4. Could the Information Be Covered in an E-mail or Memo?
The purpose of most meetings is sharing information and updating others. If
possible, make an effort to substitute these types of meetings with an e-mail or
memo! Simply send one e-mail to all the people who would have attended the
meeting. This will save everyone time, they'll still be up-to-date on what's
happening and they'll be grateful for having one less meeting to attend that
week.

Create Effective Meetings (EM)
a. The Agenda
The key to developing any business agenda is to encourage participation by addressing specific
regional and/or industry needs and to provide the business community with a sense of ownership
of the final product. Business leaders must take the initiative to organize disparate business
groups and build a coalition that can reach a consensus on major issues. Freedom of association
and the right to petition the government for the redress of grievances are the most basic rights of
democratic institutions. Even in emerging democracies it is still possible to influence changes in
policy by building grassroots coalitions and a consensus for change.When business associations
come together to promote a core set of market-oriented policies, they are much more effective
than if they pursue policy change individually.
Page 3
4. Types & Purpose Of Meetings
The Agenda communicates important information
such as:
1. Topics for discussion
2. Presenter or discussion leader for each topic
3. time allotment for each topic
provides an outline for the meeting (how long to
spend on which topics)
can be used as a checklist to ensure that all
information is covered
Lets participants know what will be discussed if
it's distributed before the meeting. This gives them
an opportunity to come to the meeting prepared for
the upcoming discussions or decisions.
provides a focus for the meeting (the objective of
the meeting must be clearly stated in the agenda)
How to Create an Effective Agenda
Page 4
5. Types & Purpose Of Meetings
What to do? Now you understand how important an agenda is to the effectiveness of the
meeting, but don't know how to create one. Breathe easy! All you have to do is follow the steps
outlined below.
1. Send an e-mail stating there will be a meeting, the goal of the meeting as well as the
administrative details such as when and where it will be. Ask those invited to accept or decline
the meeting. Make it clear that once they have accepted the meeting, they are expected to attend.
2. Ask participants requesting an agenda item to contact you no less than two days before the
meeting with their request and the amount of time they will need to present it.
3. Once all of the agenda requests have been submitted to you, sum up them in a table format
with the headings Agenda Item, Presenter and Time. It's your responsibility to ensure that each
agenda item is directly related to the goals of this particular meeting. If an inappropriate request
is made, suggest that person send an e-mail or memo instead or recommend that this agenda item
be discussed in another meeting.
Also, you must be realistic in the amount of time you allocate to each presenter. Don't cram an
unrealistic number of agenda items into an hour meeting. When people accept an hour meeting,
they expect to be finished in an hour. When meetings go over time, people generally tend to get
uneasy. It's better to schedule 50 minutes of discussion into an hour time slot. This way you have
10 minutes to spare and if you get done a little early, people will be pleased.
4. Send the agenda to all the meeting participants the day before the meeting with a reminder of
the meeting goals, location, time and duration. At this time, ask the presenters if they are happy
with the order in which they will be speaking and the amount of time they have been allocated.
Page 5
6. Types & Purpose Of Meetings
5. Of course, the most important part of creating an effective agenda is to follow it during the
meeting.
A great script is the key to a play's success. A well-structured,
informative agenda is as vital to a meeting's success as a script is to a
play. A meeting agenda should:
ensure all participants are adequately prepared for the meeting
ensure each agenda item achieves the desired outcome
save time during the meeting
Agenda Sample
1. Opening/Welcome (9.00 - 9.05)
2. Announcements and documents received (9.05 - 9.20)
3. Approval of minutes of meeting held May 12, 2006, as well as
action list (9.20 - 9.35)
4. Evaluation information programme. Mr. Johnson has prepared the evaluation of this
programme, and asks input from the participants before publishing (9.35 - 9.45)
5. Proposal for harmonization of the packaging. Mrs. Leeson has made a first proposal, and
wants to discuss this in the meeting (9.45 - 10.15)
6. Financial report of 2nd quarter. Mr. Mill, approval (10.15 - 10.25)
7. Any other business (10.25 - 10.40)
8. Adjournment(10.40 - 10.45)
Tips For Starting And Finishing Meeting On Time
Responsibilities Of Meeting Organizer (Leader):
State that the meeting will begin quickly at the scheduled time and that all participants
should be on time
Page 6
7. Types & Purpose Of Meetings
Send a reminder e-mail thirty minutes before the meeting begins and encourage meeting
participants to arrive on time
Ensure that you begin the meeting at the scheduled time. If you've encouraged others to
be prompt, don't embarrass yourself by showing up late.
Close the meeting room doors at the scheduled time. There's nothing like late attendees to
disrupt the flow of a meeting! Consider posting a note outside the door stating the
meeting's time. This may seem harsh, but it clearly communicates how serious you are
about keeping your meetings on time. If the tardy participants don't consider your
meeting important enough to arrive on time, perhaps they shouldn't have committed to
attend at all.
If your meeting starts a little late, you should still finish the meeting at the scheduled
time. It's inconsiderate to assume the participants' schedules revolve around your
meeting, so wrap up the meeting when you promised.+
Consider creating a "latecomer jar" to which meeting participants must contribute one
dollar for each minute they arrive late to meetings. At the end of the week, you can buy
muffins or donuts for everyone who attended the meetingโฆ courtesy of the latecomers!
More and more of our time each day is spent on the computer. Our ability to navigate the
computer absolutely affects our ability to be productive. Improving your typing skills and
learning keyboard shortcuts can save you time every day. Make time for computer
development skills by scheduling time with someone who has the know-how, taking a
computer class or just purchasing literature to help you.
Defining your audience means finding out who they are. This information is crucial in
order to address audience members' needs, interests, expectations and levels of
understanding. Without this knowledge, you are unable to match your message with their
needs. Your ability to present from their perspective enables you to influence their
thinking, persuade them to accept what you are suggesting and achieve your goal for
making the presentation.
Listeners like to know beforehand the degree to which they are expected to be listeners or
contributors. Most meeting participants are perfectly willing to be verbally engaged or
silentโas long as it doesnโt come as a surprise. People who come into a meeting expecting
Page 7
8. Types & Purpose Of Meetings
to be asked to contribute become angry and frustrated when that opportunity never presents
itself. Conversely, people who come into a presentation expecting to listen โ to take notes
and maybe ask a question or two โ feel threatened when theyโre unexpectedly put on the
spot. The following public speaking tips used in difficult situations can lessen negativity
among listeners.

Ways to Get Audience Information
so how do you gather audience information and find answers to these questions?
Consider the following techniques:
Speak to the participants days or weeks before the presentation
Send out a questionnaire or survey to audience members
Speak to their co-workers or managers
Research audience-related issues and gather current data on their industry
Converse and mingle with participants at an event prior to your presentation or directly
before the presentation itself
Ask questions during the presentation to gather on-the-spot feedback
Page 8
9. Types & Purpose Of Meetings
Talk to the participants after the presentation to verify that your intended message was
received and their needs met
Ask audience members to complete an evaluation form after your presentation
Invite participants to the meeting and ask for feedback on what they want covered.
Follow the "Rule of Halves." Ask for all agenda items no later than half the time between
the last meeting and the upcoming meeting. For example, if meetings are held weekly on
Fridays, agenda items should be gathered by Wednesday. Then you can start to put
together an agenda that will fulfill the objectives of all attendees.
At the beginning of the meeting, review the agenda and the tasks to be accomplished.
This helps meeting participants know precisely what is expected and encourages them to
focus on the task at hand. It also makes controlling time in the meeting much easier.
During a meeting, consider using a clock to time each discussion topic. Try setting the
alarm to warn meeters when the time allotted for the topic has expired.
Specialized meeting information management software helps you manage time and
information at your meetings. With SMART Meeting Pro, your meeting agenda becomes
a powerful tool to keep meetings on track and on time. The application helps you collect,
organize and archive critical meeting information. Agenda items appear at the top of each
page on your computer, and the time elapsed for each topic discussion is automatically
tracked by a timer.
Your bottom line is to get done what you need to get done. You can do this
within a budgeted amount of time. Once youโre in the meeting, watch the
time and the conversation. Discuss only what needs to be discussed, and
youโll be saving you and your co-workers valuable time. If you can
successfully do all of this, youโre well on your way to being a meeting
scheduling guru!
Responsibilities Of the Attendee (Participants):
Page 9
10. Types & Purpose Of Meetings
Quickly review the agenda before heading to the meeting. It's a good idea to remind
yourself why you're attending the meeting. Reviewing the agenda helps attendees be
better prepared for the meeting and, in turn, will help focus the meeting, enable all of
the agenda items to be covered and allow the meeting to finish on time!
Make your way to the meeting ten minutes before it actually begins. This will give you
enough time to visit the washroom, pour a cup of
coffee or deal with any issues that may come up along the way. Plus, you'll get the best seat
for the meeting!
Consider speaking up if the meeting organizer shows up late. There are several ways to do
this tactfully without insulting anyone. For example, if the organizer consistently arrives ten
minutes late to your weekly meetings, ask him if it would be more convenient to start 15
minutes later next week.
Try to ask only relevant questions during the meeting. If your comment isn't directly related
to the topic at hand, don't mention it. Getting off track is one of the main reasons that
meetings go over time. If your group can avoid getting off track, you'll all spend less time in
meetings.
Leave the meeting when it was scheduled to end. When the organizer extended the
invitation to meet, he stated when the meeting would finish. It was on this condition that you
accepted the meeting and committed your time. If you have work to which you must attend,
politely tell the organizer that you have to leave and excuse yourself from the meeting.
Be A Good Listener
1. Face the speaker.
Sit up straight or lean forward slightly to show your attentiveness through body
language.
2. Maintain eye contact,
to the degree that you all remain comfortable.
Page

11. Types & Purpose Of Meetings
3. Minimize external distractions:
Turn off the TV. Put down your book or magazine, and ask the speaker and other
listeners to do the same.
4. Respond appropriately
to show that you understand. Murmur (โuh-huhโ and โum-hmmโ) and nod. Raise
your eyebrows. Say words such as โReally,โ โInteresting,โ as well as more direct
prompts: โWhat did you do then?โ and โWhat did she say?โ
5. Focus solely on what the speaker is saying.
Try not to think about what you are going to say next. The conversation will follow a
logical flow after the speaker makes her point.
6. Minimize internal distractions.
If your own thoughts keep horning in, simply let them go and continuously re-focus
your attention on the speaker, much as you would during meditation.
7. Keep an open mind.
Wait until the speaker is finished before deciding that you disagree. Try not to make
assumptions about what the speaker is thinking.

There are far too many people traveling around the country speaking to
audiences with incomplete, outdated, wrong or misleading information.
Reading a couple of books, skimming a dozen journal articles and
researching on the Internet to find five quotations by famous people is
seldom enough to qualify someone to address an audience.
In our fast-paced corporate lifestyles, the time and cost of assembling an
audience grows daily. Audiences who feel they haven't gained value from
a speech will resent our wasting their time.

So I think that the best preparation for a speech is to write a book. That said, of course, you have
to make a living in the meantime. So until you become the expert in your subject, work on
becoming one.

Television Commercials
It was decided in meeting to advertise through the television commercials. The effect of

pervasive that in some countries, the United States in particular, it is considered
impossible for a politician to wage a successful election campaign without the purchase
of television advertising
Newspaper Ad
It was decided to give full one page ad in a local newspaper.

service provides valuable consideration, usually cash, in exchange for the station airing
their spot or mentioning them on air.
e) Lowering administrative barriers and reducing restrictions on competition in business
Administrative barriers currently present a significant obstacle to the development of
company. Businesses incur high costs when complying with administrative requirements.
Administrative barriers to the development and conduct of business are usually defined as
obstacles caused by government policy or by intentional infringements on the rights and
interests of businesspeople by various government agencies and officials. These obstacles
are created by the adoption of legal acts or by the actions (or inaction) of officials that
somehow improperly restrict or violate the rights of businesspeople.
In order to reduce administrative barriers to doing business, the following measures are
necessary:
Clear delineation of the procedures for licensing, technical regulation, certification, and
accreditation; legality (consistency with federal law) of requirements to obtain various
permits;
Prohibit a government agency and government-owned legal entities from combining
enforcement or oversight functions with the provision of services for fees;
f) At the end open Discussion, Suggestions and special announcements made.
