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.

than competitors and cater new entrants as well.
35. Our Policy Change Recommendations

instead of expansion, so that cost can be managed, decreased.
• Connect with cotton producing countries or producers, so that cotton
can be available at desired price.

industry, but our recommendation is to do more actively.
• They should come to south Asian countries as well, like in Pakistan
ChenOne, Charcoal etc. are generating well profit with high margins.
• South Asian countries are cotton producing countries, so that selling
in this market by purchasing from local suppliers will give high margin.

competitors.

sense of ownership.
