How to Really Add Value as an In-House Recruiter.RecruitLoop
We wanted to share the highlights of RecruitLoop Cofounder Paul Slezak's presentation at the in-house recruiter LIVE! 2017 event in London this week – How to Really Add Value as an In-House Recruiter.
The heart of marketing today is getting your original product or service to make you money. How do we get people to love us or love our stuff as much as we do? The hard truth is that they don’t actually care about you, your services or your products. They care about themselves and what keeps them up at night. So how do we get them to hear us, see us, and actively tune into us?
Original content creation and distribution strategies are transforming business of all shapes, sizes, and types attracting and influencing the community seeking what you have to sell. Instead of working on a product, and figuring out how to sell it – innovative marketers are building an audience, and then figuring out which products and services are most desired, creating commerce and rave-worthy conversion again and again.
What you will learn:
Key characteristics of binge-worthy (and commerce-worthy) content
How to stand out in a crowded market
Principles for attracting your right-fit community
Tactics for being everywhere at once without losing your mind
Building a flexible “Conversion Proof Loop" before you spend a lot of money
Stand Out from the Crowd during Your Job SearchLucas Group
With job creation numbers remaining modest and unemployment rates holding steady, landing your dream job may at times seem like a Sisyphean task. Sure, hand-delivering a box of chocolates to the hiring manager is one way to make your application stand out, but that’s not necessarily the best way to go about getting your resume to the top of the stack.
Whether you're just getting started in your career or have been working for awhile you'll benefit from the strategies covered in this talk.
You'll learn:
• Why people get promoted
• How to prepare for a promotion
• What to do about past performance
• What to do if you're passed up for a promotion

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

Execution is the main driver for success
Idea Team Execution Performance
Don’t overestimate the value of your idea. Execution is what matters. Focus on building a great team, since they set the tone and mainly influence success.
Your idea is (just) the starting
point. It will evolve and
maybe even pivot.
Your team is the force
executing. Mediocre people
don’t build great products.
Your execution is the main
source of value creation and
drives the performance.
