HfS Webinar Slides: Becoming an Intelligent OneOfficeHfS Research
The rise of the As-a-Service Economy is rapidly evolving and emerging solutions, such as Automation, Analytics and Digital technologies are providing a catalyst for enterprises to adopt intelligent and adaptive operating models in a radically different way.
Coupled with a customer-first approach, organizations need to rethink and redesign operating models to support this convergence toward intelligent operations.
In this webinar, experts from HfS Research, Cognizant, Warner Bros., and CoreLogic discussed the impact of aligning back, middle and front office approaches – resulting in new operating models that are increasingly “born digital,” data rich, and outcome-based, in support of the business to which the strategies align.
Wach this webinar replay and learn:
How end-to-end processes need to bring together customer experience with operational agility
Understanding the disjoint between upper management “vision” and middle managers’ trepidation with “how to get there”
How an outside-In approach can drive a “middle office first” strategy to fix the digital/operations divide.

A digital organization has the ability to take all the cool social, mobile and interactive tech we use in our personal lives and create that experience for all the people in its environment: its employees, customers, and partners.
The Digital OneOffice™ Framework is all about creating the digital customer experience and an intelligent, single office to enable and support it. In a few months, we won’t be talking nearly as much about intelligent automation and digital technology as the critical “value levers” for operations, as they become an embedded part of the fabric of the future operations platform for new generation organizations. Instead, we will be talking about an integrated support operation having the digital prowess to enable its organization to meet customer demand - as and when that demand happens.
Everything about the digital organization is about engaging people by responding to their needs instantaneously, giving people their choice of medium to interact with it, be it voice, chat box, text, Facebook messenger, email, virtual agent, etc.
The OneOffice™ Framework is wrapped around the needs of the people in its environment, where automation is completely native and decisions can be made on predicting events, not merely reacting to historical data archives.
Speakers:
- Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief Analyst
- Melissa O'Brien, Research Director for Contact Center and Omnichannel Operations and BPO
We’ll discuss the following:
- Why the Digital OneOffice™ Framework is the Future of Outsourcing
- How the new generation of enterprises are leveraging digital technologies to link the customer experience with the supporting operations
- New dynamics we’re seeing in the market that point to a Digital OneOffice™ future, based on 450 enterprise interviews

- The investments and directives driving operational change
- The use of shared services, outsourcing, global business services, and the impact of automation and offshoring on these service delivery models
- The maturity of business operating models linked to the use of alternative service delivery models and emerging technologies
- Adoption levels, challenges, and opportunities related to process and cognitive automation
- The effectiveness of outsourcing, above and beyond delivering cost savings, and impact on service provider selection

Tired of the endless hype marketing, the expensively designed conference booths, the mind-numbing articles about robots stealing our jobs?
When you have a small number of, let's face it, small software firms sending such shockwaves through the global operations and outsourcing industry, it's no surprise we have so many of you scratching your heads wondering what is real versus fake news... wondering how "real" RPA is, versus all the claimed success and failure stories.
So let's tone down the rhetoric and reveal what is really happening in the industry. Based on new HfS State of Industry research of over 450 enterprise buyers, and our new HfS blueprints that will cover the leading RPA software platforms, we’ll give you a much needed reality check. HfS CEO Phil Fersht and SVP Intelligent Automation Tom Reuner discuss the following:
- The state of the RPA market in 2017 - what is the current adoption versus the hype?
- How is the market evolving for emerging RPA and cognitive solutions... is the HfS Continuum taking shape?
- What are the key drivers and inhibitors?
- How are the leading RPAs performing, in terms of the famous HfS Innovation and Execution Blueprint criteria?
- Which vendors are doing the best in terms of features, functionalities and driving their partner ecosystems?
- What's been the impact of "Free RPA" - is it disrupting the market?
- What can we expect next, with all the political unpredictability, outsourcing turmoil and general cloud of confusion surround our industry?

The Digital OneOffice Framework is all about the design and implementation of the organizational digital experience and the creation of an intelligent, single office to execute and support it. At HfS, our research shows that smart Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions can help break down the barriers between front and back offices to align the needs of the customer with the operations of an organization to service those needs effectively and proactively.
Artificial Intelligence is many things: It is hyped, it is not defined, it is starting to become pervasive, and it is fostering emotional, passionate and at times heated discussions. However, many of those discussions are more focused on either generic or more consumer-facing issues while the broader market is not yet recognizing the impact of AI on B2B and Enterprise segments. Given the blurred perception and the lack of clarity, HfS is aiming to take stock how AI is starting to transform service delivery. With that mind, the research is less about technology aspects rather than understanding the use cases and the way AI could transform organizations journey toward the OneOffice.

How is AI transforming service delivery?
What are the AI capabilities and use cases that service providers have built out?

In business operations, global shared services, and outsourcing, the mantra has been: centralize, standardize, industrialize, globalize. Traditional shared services and outsourcing contracts have been developed to focus on “lift and shift” and how to make processes increasingly more efficient and effective, measured by service level agreements. But expectations for services are changing--it’s about more than cost reduction and efficiency.
What happens when the SLAs are green yet customer or stakeholder satisfaction is level, stale, or down? … When you feel that “innovation” is lacking? … That the world is shifting to become faster, more flexible, and in-touch—but your business delivery isn’t and you just don’t have the time to think about it?
In this webinar HfS Research shares key findings and insights from our research, discuss the use and impact of Design Thinking - and Execution - in services engagements for business operations, and share examples.
Key discussion points:
- The relevance of Design Thinking to business operations and outsourcing engagements
- How service providers are integrating Design Thinking principles and practice methods of working internally and with clients
- Recommendations for how service buyers and service providers can use Design Thinking to drive innovation
- Open Q&A about Design Thinking, the Transition to Execution, and Design-Led Culture in Services companies

The seminal annual study conducted by HfS Research and KPMG is complete and we're ready to reveal the pace of disruption and change the world's leading enterprises are experiencing.
The operating model for businesses needs to adapt more quickly than ever to the pace of the modern economy and appetite from C-Suite to pivot their business models. Global Business Services (GBS) needs to support the pace of change and innovation within organizations – firstly by not getting in the way, and secondly by providing a platform for operations that drives flexible business services, centralizes data and analysis, ensures security and embraces automation to improve efficiency.
During the webinar, our experts will discuss the following relevant topics:
- Changes to organizational operating and service delivery models – looking in particular at how global business services (GBS) and outsourcing needs to pivot from its internal service delivery focus to encompass the end-customer as a stakeholder of its services and drive widespread innovation.
- Investments and C-Suite directives driving operational change
- The impact of automation and AI on shared services, outsourcing and GBS
- Tackling the dual agendas of cost savings and innovation
- Addressing talent challenges

A digital organization has the ability to take all the cool social, mobile and interactive tech we use in our personal lives and create that experience for all the people in its environment: its employees, customers, and partners.
The Digital OneOffice™ Framework is all about creating the digital customer experience and an intelligent, single office to enable and support it. In a few months, we won’t be talking nearly as much about intelligent automation and digital technology as the critical “value levers” for operations, as they become an embedded part of the fabric of the future operations platform for new generation organizations. Instead, we will be talking about an integrated support operation having the digital prowess to enable its organization to meet customer demand - as and when that demand happens.
Everything about the digital organization is about engaging people by responding to their needs instantaneously, giving people their choice of medium to interact with it, be it voice, chat box, text, Facebook messenger, email, virtual agent, etc.
The OneOffice™ Framework is wrapped around the needs of the people in its environment, where automation is completely native and decisions can be made on predicting events, not merely reacting to historical data archives.
Speakers:
- Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief Analyst
- Melissa O'Brien, Research Director for Contact Center and Omnichannel Operations and BPO
We’ll discuss the following:
- Why the Digital OneOffice™ Framework is the Future of Outsourcing
- How the new generation of enterprises are leveraging digital technologies to link the customer experience with the supporting operations
- New dynamics we’re seeing in the market that point to a Digital OneOffice™ future, based on 450 enterprise interviews

Optimizing operations through Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and machine learning present significant promise for global enterprises, particularly as they look to unlock value from decades-old operating models and relationships (BPO and/or shared services) for success in the Digital future.
However, success stories of automation at scale (at least those publicly reported) are limited; while the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance industries seem to be leading the way, many organizations are grappling with how to get an effective strategy and operating model in place. They struggle with myriad tool choices and struggle to understand robotic vs. machine learning vs. cognitive approaches to automation.
Experts from HfS Research, Hexaware, and HSBC will discuss the results from a global study of the state of practice in automation conducted across several enterprises in varying stages of automation adoption.
Attend and learn:
- Where are global enterprises in their automation journey today?
- Implementing automation at scale - key insights and best practices
- What to consider for automation strategy and tools; especially as it pertains to RPA and beyond

The webinar will share the key findings of the State of Business Operations survey by HfS Research in conjunction with KPMG with 829 enterprise buyers, service providers, and advisor/consultants.
The outsourcing and shared services market has been in a seemingly endless state of flux for as long as HfS Research has existed – with the current market more confused than ever before, organizations struggling to cope with competing priorities, and confusion on the requisite timing and methods to best exploit new(ish) technologies such as process automation and evolving service delivery models.
We have seen the latest wave of change agents combine into the “digital” phenomenon, manifesting in a jumble of technology change and business drivers. Enterprises are being forced - more so than ever -to become increasingly customer-centric as they must respond to progressively complex online demands. This is driving investment in new technologies such as IoT, and analytics, and new ways of consuming, technology, and business process services – with software platforms encroaching on classic operational services.
Attend and learn:
- Changes to organizational operating and service delivery models
- The investments and directives driving operational change
- The use of shared services, outsourcing, global business services, and the impact of automation and offshoring on these service delivery models
- The maturity of business operating models linked to the use of alternative service delivery models and emerging technologies
- Adoption levels, challenges, and opportunities related to process and cognitive automation
- The effectiveness of outsourcing, above and beyond delivering cost savings, and impact on service provider selection
- Stakeholders’ current view on service providers and future expectations
- Organizational and operational talent challenges, shortages, and solutions, including automation

The seminal annual study conducted by HfS Research and KPMG is complete and we're ready to reveal the pace of disruption and change the world's leading enterprises are experiencing.
The operating model for businesses needs to adapt more quickly than ever to the pace of the modern economy and appetite from C-Suite to pivot their business models. Global Business Services (GBS) needs to support the pace of change and innovation within organizations – firstly by not getting in the way, and secondly by providing a platform for operations that drives flexible business services, centralizes data and analysis, ensures security and embraces automation to improve efficiency.
During the webinar, our experts will discuss the following relevant topics:
- Changes to organizational operating and service delivery models – looking in particular at how global business services (GBS) and outsourcing needs to pivot from its internal service delivery focus to encompass the end-customer as a stakeholder of its services and drive widespread innovation.
- Investments and C-Suite directives driving operational change
- The impact of automation and AI on shared services, outsourcing and GBS
- Tackling the dual agendas of cost savings and innovation
- Addressing talent challenges
Panel:
- Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief Analyst, HfS Research (host)
- Dave Brown, Partner and Lead for SSOA, KPMG
- Richard Pierle, CIO and EVP, Global Services and Process Excellence, Becton Dickinson

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.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
