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.

to comply:
1.Conditional Based Provisions:
Section 42 read with Rule 14 of the
Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities)
Rules, 2014
2. Procedural Based Provisions:
Section 55 read with read with Rule 9 & 10 the
Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules,
2014
5. Private Placement as per Section 42 of the Act
For the 1st
time in Indian legal history, the term “Private Placement” has been
defined under the Companies Act 2013
Private Placement has been specifically defined to mean any offer of securities or
invitation to subscribe securities to a select group of persons by a company (other
than by way of public offer) through issue of a private placement offer letter.
Securities Securities as defined in clause (h) of Section 2 of the
Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956
Securities as defined in clause (h) of Section 2 of the
Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956
Companies Act, 2013 seeks to regulate issue of all types of securities and not just shares and
debentures
6. Securities as per Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956
As per Clause (h) of Section 2, Securities include:
(i) shares, scrips, stocks, bonds, debentures, debenture stock or other
marketable securities of a like nature in or of any incorporated company
or other body corporate;
(ia) derivative;
(ib) units or any other investments issued by any collective investment
scheme to the investors in such schemes;
(ii) Government securities;
(iia) such other instruments as may be declared by the Central
Government to be securities; and
(iii) rights or interest in securities.
Use of term ‘securities’ instead of ‘shares’ - Use of the term shares in the Companies Act, 1956
restricted the dictatorial roof for issuances of various other instruments by Company to raise funds.
Companies manipulated this loophole by using other terminology or nomenclature for
instruments used to raise funds, thereby easily escaping the regulatory oversight.
8. Why Stringency in Provisions??
• Lacunae in the legal provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 regarding private placement
have lead to increase in malpractices. :
o Provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 were narrow and covered under its ambit
only shares and not all securities, while SEBI defines the term ‘securities’
o While a private placement could be made only to a maximum of 49 persons at one
go, there was no provision to prevent companies from convening multiple board
meetings to approve such allotments. As a result, companies started calling several
meetings and made allotment to 49 allottees at each such meeting, thereby
manipulating the law.
o Companies also took advantage of the overlapping of powers between the MCA and
SEBI to make multiple private placements.
The landmark judgment in the Sahara Case has set the direction for private placement code and
the Companies Act, 2013 draws heavily out of the principles enunciated by the Apex Court
9. Ambit of Listed Companies as per Companies Act, 2013
A company which has any of its securities listed on any recognized
stock exchange.
A company which has any of its securities listed on any recognized
stock exchange.
Meaning thereby
The company even if having its debentures/preference share listed on
any recognized stock exchange is now deemed to be considered as
the Listed Company.
For the Preferential offer, the Listed Companies are required to comply with SEBI
(ICDR) Regulations, 2009 and SEBI (Listing Obligations & Disclosure Requirements)
