Over the years we’ve noticed that even amazingly creative and unique companies can struggle with getting ideas off the ground.
Whether it’s a simple fix to an organisational chart, or a bit of nudging in the right direction to help a company to launch a product idea with an impactful return on investment (ROI). Making improvements can turn a new product dream into a reality, and we know the value in having an extra set of eyes (and hands) to help with a company’s innovation efforts.
That’s why we put together this informational guide - to share some of our experiences and help even more teams and companies to leverage their inner talents and unlock their
innovation potential.
In this guide, we’ll share some of our best tips and tricks, including how to:
> Recognise trends and how customer preferences change;
> Focus on your company strengths in order to get the most out of innovation;
> Identify and remove common obstacles to innovation;
> Build levels of innovation that come naturally and are sustained - through the innovation value pyramid; and,
> Use practical exercises to future-proof your innovation efforts.

Effective workforce planning can be difficult because of the challenges associated with determining overall headcount. Decision makers need greater insight into resource demands and costs associated with personnel planning. A strategic workforce plan will help your organization avoid under-staffing, over-staffing, or misallocating employees, which can severely halt growth.
Ken Fick, of Pierce The Fog, will discuss how many high-performance organizations manage to conduct workforce planning to ensure agility and success effectively. He will explain how their approach can be broken down into several strategies that will help you gain an edge over competitors and increase revenue for your organization.
Learning Objectives
After this webinar, you will be able to:
1. Discuss ways to forecast attrition and workforce demand planning.
2. Describe how to leverage workforce planning scenarios.
3. Develop a workforce plan to gain a productive advantage.
4. Give examples of how to reduce the impact of workforce fluctuations on strategic, operating, and financial plans.
For successful innovation its important to first identify opportunities to innovate. If that's not done properly, whatever efforts one might put will not yield any results. The presentation gives insight into how to find innovation opportunities at customer interface and across the value chain.

Businesses that actively pursue innovation are better positioned to anticipate and respond to market disruptions, ensuring their long-term viability and success in a rapidly changing business landscape.
Many of my friends from industry have asked for my opinion on the economic crisis and its impact on business. My answer to them is that the real problem is that companies simply do not internalise the proper actions to take in order to respond to such a situation.
And rarely is it more critical than in retail business strategy, and the far-reaching implications surrounding the phenomena often known as ‘wallet share’ or ‘share of wallet’.
‘Share of wallet’ is in essence an holistic term capturing the aspect of a retailer’s desire to understand and manage consumer spending, how much they have, and how frequent and recent this occurs. This clearly introduces the aspects of service, proposition, customer loyalty, and internal & external change as strategy components for serious consideration by the senior management team.
This paper seeks to explore these aspects of a Retail business strategy, giving insight and advice for a stronger business strategy in ‘Changing Times’.

Innovation Zoo: The Dangerous Animals of Product Development and R&D Teams Yo...Bradley Pallister
Who wants to rise to the top of your industry or enjoy a driven, creative, and loyal team?
Then, it’s time to head out to Innovation Zoo and meet the animals of today’s corporate world.
Whether you’re working with a high-powered HORSE, a relentless GORILLA, or a PARROT who will always speak their mind, these innovative and driven professionals can help you succeed.
Remember to approach each animal with care and work together as a team to overcome any challenges that may come your way.
So, here we go.
The first animal we’ll find at Innovation Zoo is the HiPPO.
Whether you are a small startup or a well-established company, staying vigilant against the HiPPO effect is crucial.
The HiPPO effect tends to give decision-making power to the highest-paid person in the room. These so-called “HiPPOs” can stifle innovation and disrupt progress by overriding good ideas with their opinions and preferences. But
by staying true to your vision and objectives, you can swim strongly against the tide of these would-be disruptors.
Remember that these individuals may feel threatened by any human
activity that could threaten their status or position, so consult with them on their terms and show them respect. And above all else, keep in mind that HiPPOs generally don’t like change. So if you want to succeed, you need to be prepared to disrupt the status quo with your innovative ideas. After all, if you aren’t willing to make waves, you might stay in bed and let the HiPPOs have their way!
But if you are a strong swimmer with big dreams and goals, know that there are plenty of opportunities out there - even if they come at night or in a different kind of microhabitat. Use facts and data to ward them off and keep
them at bay - they’ll eventually get tired and go away, leaving you free to pursue your goals.
Overall, staying vigilant against the HiPPO effect is essential to driving
innovation and progress in any company - large or small.
While the WOLF may be known for its short attention span, it is also known for its incredible intelligence.
This combination can make the WOLF a disruptor of innovation, as it is always looking for the next new thing. However, this disruptiveness can also be a strength. The WOLF constantly searches for new and better ways to solve problems.
If you can harness the WOLF’s energy and focus it on a single issue, you will have a powerful ally on your team. Just keep an eye on the WOLF, as it may jump to the next problem before the current one is solved.
The old saying goes, “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” And that’s precisely what you’ll be doing if you allow the WOLF to disrupt your team’s focus and innovation. While they may be born deaf, they can run very fast. As a result, their instinct is to jump from one problem to the next; this disrupts your team’s ability to solve problems, effectively leaving easy prey for your competitors.

With characteristic perceptiveness, Winston Churchill observed many decades ago: “Dictators ride to and fro on a tiger from which they dare not dismount. And the tiger is getting hungry.”
With China, the tiger in question is very big and very hungry. Per capita income in the PRC is just $11,000 per person, compared to $43,000 in the UK and $65,000 in the US. Stop and consider that statistic for a minute. Imagine that your income was multiplied by a factor of four, or five. Imagine how different your life would look. That’s how the average Chinese worker would regard the disparity between their income and yours.
This puts China smack bang in the centre of the “middle-income trap” - where a growing economy gets stuck, and often fails altogether, to make the transition to a high-income economy. The first part of the journey, from low-income to middle-income, is relatively simple.
You just need strong government oversight, an almost endless stream of obedient and extremely cheap labour, and a world market hungry for products that can be manufactured on a vast scale in labour-intensive industries.
But to take your economy over the next hurdle, from middle income to high income, is far more challenging. It requires a movement away from basic, assembly-line tasks and a leap into the knowledge economy, innovation, and high-tech, high-skill manufacturing.
In other words, it is a movement away from mass-volume industries where the greatest differentiator is price, and into value-added industries where customers are willing to pay a premium for the technology, the prestige, or the originality of the goods

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,

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
