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.

29. Automate Policy Compliance
29
1. Establish a corporate travel and entertainment expense policy
• Clearly defined for all employees with ongoing training
• Executive support for T&E policy is essential
2. Integrate your policy into the expense system, setting both:
• Hard Policies (decline expense exceeding X amount)
• Soft Policies (manager’s discretion for approval)
3. Allow technology to enforce policies, notifying employees and
managers of violations, including:
• Missing receipts
• Duplicate expenses
• Items exceeding spend limits
Flagged violation, notifying manager amount exceeded policy limit
30. 30
1. An end-to-end expense management
system allows administrators to automate
policy controls across a single platform for
improved employee compliance
2. Pre-trip approvals using an integrated
online travel booking system can stop out-
of-policy expenses before they occur (used
by 87% of all best-in-class companies)
3. Mobile applications encourage policy
compliance by making it easier for
employees; mobile also reduces expense
report processing costs by up to 65%
Adopt a Unified Platform
32. Reporting Visibility
32
Excel can’t keep up in the digital age:
• Inability to link receipts or images with expense line items; you can email
spreadsheet expense reports but can’t link receipts
• Lack of integration with corporate and accounting systems limits availability
and accessibility of expense data
• Inefficient, labor-intensive manual administrative reporting process subject to
human error affecting accuracy of information
• Auditing expense reporting via a manual process is ineffective, often relies
on sampling due to sheer volume
33. Use Technology to Improve Visibility

• 55% of all organizations’ main
priority for 2014 was to enhance
visibility into overall T&E spend
• Manual processes provide only
