Webinar: Measuring And Monetizing Strategic Innovation Ali Zeeshan
To view recording, watch the video at end of the slide or visit https://youtu.be/AlBVmA3u37g
Measuring innovation can be difficult. Some assume that innovation is more of an art form. Or they realize that “innovation” is a word that means different things to different people, and so assume that it cannot be measured. This is unfortunate, because managing both innovation and measurement are critical to the successful execution of strategy and monetizing (or deriving tangible benefits from) your innovation efforts.
The webinar will provide valuable insights about these timely topics of performance management:
Webinar Topics
• The steps your organization can take to define what innovation means for your strategy
• The steps needed to design and implement a set of measures that will help you implement your strategy and achieve results
• Keys to monetizing innovation
• The critical factors for successfully introducing and managing strategic innovation
• How to develop and maintain a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship

The Balanced Scorecard Institute and partner Informa Middle East invite you to participate in our upcoming complimentary webinar, ‘KPI Best Practices’, which will discuss the relationship between strategy execution and KPIs.
Developing meaningful KPIs to measure strategy execution is both an art and a science, involving a deep understanding of what to measure, how to measure, how to analyze performance information, how to report and clearly inform others regarding desired results and performance, and how to use the information to make better decisions.
This webinar introduces one of the main topics at our upcoming Saudi KPI for Business Strategy & Transformation workshop.
Join the Balanced Scorecard Institute's Howard Rohm, Co-Founder and President, and Suzy Nisbet, Senior Associate and Consultant, as they discuss developing strategic, operational, project, and organizational capacity KPIs, aligning KPIs to strategy, measuring intangible goals, streamlining measurement and reporting processes, and creating derivative KPIs for employees at all organizational levels.
Sharing best KPI practices from their worldwide client experience, this 40-minute webinar (followed by a 20-minute Q&A session) will provide the knowledge and insight to better understand the relationship between strategy and KPI's.
Webinar participants will learn how to:
• Improve managers' and employees' perception of the value and importance of measuring performance
• Lift the skill level of managers and employees in selecting meaningful measures and using those measures to make better informed decisions
• Use KPIs to build individual and collective accountability for results
With the Strategy Execution and Innovation Forum rapidly approaching, Howard Rohm, Co-Founder and President, and Joe DeCarlo, Vice President, International, of the Balanced Scorecard Institute, discussed on a live webinar how to improve strategy execution with innovation, and how to improve the strategic innovation process.

Time Management: Productivity and Time StealersAli Zeeshan
Some say there is nothing more precious than time so, as with all things that are precious to us, we should not waste it!
A poor use of time can lead to issues with: your personal finances and your long-term career aspirations; relationship problems at home; and/or health problems brought on by stress and anxiety.
Unfortunately, there are many demands coming from ‘time stealers’ who are, potentially, diverting you from using your time in the way you wish to use it.
The aim of this webinar is to provide you with a brief insight into the strategies, tools and techniques you can utilise to help you manage your time more effectively.

Many businessmen and women see contracts as legal documents, but a healthier approach is to see them as business documents which must be written the right way if they are to be legally enforceable. For many of us, therefore, leaving the contracts to the lawyers means that we miss an opportunity to have a contract which can be used as a working document which prevents problems with suppliers and customers. This webinar explains an approach which can be used to ensure that contracts prevent problems from occurring, or fully prescribe your rights and remedies should things go wrong.

The webinar covers the major business benefits management principles, practices and techniques that enable organisations to optimise the return from their investments in programmes and projects.
The Objectives Of This Webinar Are To Explain How To:
1. Relate the business case to business benefits
2. Differentiate between business KPIs vs Project KPIs
3. Establish a benefits management chart
4. Plan and prepare for organisational readiness
5. Plan to perform project transition and handover
6. Measure the realisation of business benefits
Business Benefits Realisation is about ensuring that programmes and projects deliver the forecasted benefits identified in a business case or project charter document. Obtaining an acceptable return on investment is critical, but many organisations struggle to demonstrate that their programmes and projects deliver the required business benefits.
Often there is confusion over what benefits are required, who should track them and how and what the effective measures should be. The explicit role of a project manager is to deliver the project to ensure the scope, schedule and budget components are satisfied. However the intrapreneurial and business-minded project manager is the one who is acutely aware of the business aspect of programmes and projects and truly understands the rationale driving their organisation’s investment strategy. This project manager provides true value.

This webinar is designed as a practical guide to using the Balanced Scorecard.
The Balanced Scorecard is a system used extensively in business and industry, government, and non-profit organisations worldwide to align business activities to the vision and strategy of the organisation, improve internal and external communications, and monitor organisation
performance against strategic goals.
The Balanced Scorecard was originated by Drs Robert Kaplan (Harvard Business School) and David Norton as a framework to help managers consider both financial and non-financial aspects of their business and design performance metrics around them.
While the phrase Balanced Scorecard was coined in the early 1990s, the roots of this type of approach are deep, and include the pioneering work of General Electric on performance measurement reporting in the 1950s and the work of French process engineers (who created the Tableau
de Bord – literally, a "dashboard" of performance measures) in the early part of the 20th century.

Webinar: Aligning the Employee to the Strategy of the OrganisationAli Zeeshan

For other Informa Webinars: http://www.informa-mea.com/webinars
Top management and the CEO decide on the goals and strategy of the organisation, but it is the staff who actually implement that strategy.
Most organisations struggle with the "cascade" of strategy from corporate level (Tier 1) to Unit / Department (Tier 2) and ultimately to the individual employee (Tier 3). If the employees are not aligned to the strategy, it is unlikely that the strategy will be successfully implemented.
To work effectively usually requires the close co-operation between the corporate strategy office and HR - because it is the HR Performance Management System that generally provides the process mechanism to align personal objectives/actions to the departmental (and ultimately, the organisational) strategy. That Strategy Office - HR interface is not always a strong relationship.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
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.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

2. #JIOSS2014
Welcome to the
Oil Shale is growing as a global phenomenon around the world, as more companies and governments increase their investment in oil
shale exploration. JIOSS 2014 will provide in-depth insights into the oil shale reserves and the latest developments in exploration and
commercial timeframes in the Kingdom of Jordan.
Jordan’s vast oil shale reserves have prompted large interest amongst the industry, considered as holding the world’s fourth largest
reserves after the United States, China and Russia, with an estimated 45 billion barrels of shale oil. The JIOSS is the only Symposium
to gather key investors, senior government representatives, policy makers, IOCs, leading engineers and researchers to discuss the
various stages of oil shale production in Jordan and the industry’s top challenges, projects timeframe’s and commercialization plans in
the following years.
The inaugural JIOSS 2012 brought together over
200 senior level representatives from across
the oil shale industry, some of the leading
names offered their opinions about the potential
of oil shale in Jordan. Informative discussions
included advanced drilling technologies for oil
shale explorations and exploitation, facilitating
competitive oil shale utilisation around the world,
oil shale economics, investment and financing
challenges, schedules for commercialisation and
exploring the viability and future of oil shale.

Jordan field experiment – JOSCO
Jordan Oil Shale Company B.V. (JOSCO), a 100% Royal Dutch Shell
company has been granted a 22,270 km2 concession in Jordan, in
order to assess the potential of Upper Cretaceous/Paleogene Oil
Shale strata for production via Shell’s proprietary In-situ Conversion
process (ICP). Shell’s objective is to delineate one or more ‘sweet
spots’ as well as to evaluate each ‘sweet spot’ for containment risk,
geomechanical risk and quantify the energy required to convert and
produce oil from the kerogen-bearing shale in a commercial project.

JOSCO, Jordan
Commercialization of an oil shale deposit
Surface processing of oil shale developments include mining, thermal
processing, upgrading and waste management. The complexity of such
projects can be overwhelming for most investors. A new approach is
required to ensure that progress is made and returns available as soon as
possible with the lowest risk profile. This sessions sets out an approach
to establishing an oil shale industry simply and relatively quickly. The key
benefits for the audience include 1. Give a guideline for a development
strategy in a new deposit 2. Make them aware of some of the pitfalls 3.
Provide an estimate of cost and duration of such an exercise.

Selective oil shale mining
The most common method for rock breaking is drilling and blasting.
However various alternative mechanical excavation methods are available,
especially when mining sedimentary rock, like oil shale. Surface miners
should be considered as a good alternative for traditional drilling and blasting
technology for oil shale mining in many geological conditions. It could be
cost-effective or even an absolute alternative to drilling and blasting.
