Business is changing faster than it ever has before. To effectively support the business, HR needs to change, too. The one-size-fits-all HR mantra no longer works for all organizations. Many organizations need their HR to be far more flexible, with digital deeply embedded in the way it functions. Accenture has identified new, innovative HR operating models that create and sustain more flexible and integrated HR capabilities. Each model is designed to suit different strategies, cultures and types of workforces -- delivering a more flexible and strategically relevant HR.
David Ulrich is a true HR Management Guru. His HR Model and his HR Roles and Responsibilities changed Human Resources as we know it.
The key HR Roles in the organization are:
HR Business Partner
Change Agent
Administration Expert
Employee Advocate
This HR Roles define the strategic framework for Human Resources Functions all around the Globe. The modern HR Management is defined using these simply defined roles to identify key tasks, goals and objectives for Human Resources in the organization.
David Ulrich defined the basic scope for Human Resources to become a strategic partner for the top executives in the company. The roles are strongly interconnected, but they deliver the real value added to the company, which is seen and valued by both management and employees.
The modern HR Department cannot exist without a well defined HR Model. The HR Model describes how responsibilities are split between HR units and employees in Human Resources. It defines how key HR tasks will be delivered and who will be accountable for the delivery.
Where is your corporate focus; cost cutting or value proposition? Sustainable future growth must come not only from a cost-obsession, but a value-obsession. Check out this white paper from Northpoint Advisors.
If your company’s revenues have been flat to declining over the past eight quarters you are probably ‘Stuck in Neutral.’ There are no magic bullets when it comes to reversing long term flat to declining revenue trends for tech companies. Companies get ‘stuck in neutral’ for a reason. Most of the time it is a market problem versus a ‘people’ problem. Breaking out of the rut, however, takes courage and decisive action. This presentation is an overview of three part strategy for getting your revenue growth back in gear. In the coming weeks we will explore each of the three strategies in depth.
For small and midsized businesses looking to not only survive, but thrive in the post-COVID world, a focus on pricing strategy will pay considerable dividends.

Company’s Objectives/Statement of Mission
Many, if not most, successful large companies describe the main goal of their internal planning process as articulating and clarifying their “philosophy” or “mission.” The best, most effective Mission Statements are not mere empty words, but principles and objectives that guide all other aspects and activities of the business.
“We are a mission-driven business. We are democratizing organic and fair trade.”
Seth Goldman
Cofounder, Honest Tea
You should be able to sum up the basic objectives and philosophy of your company in just a few sentences. One statement should encapsulate the nature of your business, your business principles, your financial goals, your “corporate culture,” and how you expect to have your company viewed in the marketplace.
A Statement of Mission provides focus for your company and should be the defining concept of your business for at least the next few years. It should be the result of a meaningful examination of the foundations of your company, and virtually every word should be important.
A finished Mission Statement might be: “AAA, Inc., is a spunky, imaginative food products and service company aimed at offering high-quality, moderately priced, occasionally unusual foods using only natural ingredients. We view ourselves as partners with our customers, our employees, our community, and our environment, and we take personal responsibility in our actions toward each. We aim to become a regionally recognized brand name, capitalizing on the sustained interest in Southwestern and Mexican food. Our goal is moderate growth, annual profitability, and maintaining our sense of humor.”
The Statement of Mission worksheet on pages 72–73 helps you outline your company’s objectives.
Statement of Mission
Describe your company’s philosophy in terms of the areas listed below.
· Range/Nature of Products or Services Offered

· Price

· Management Style / Relationship to Employees

· Relationship to Rest of Industry
· Incorporation of New Technology

Risk
Every business involves risk. Only the most naive and inexperienced entrepreneurs believe their business “just
can’t fail.” Use this section to sit down and think through the various risks facing your new endeavor.
This task might seem daunting. So why shake your enthusiasm? Because risk assessment helps you prepare for
and prevent threats to your success. If, for instance, you identify a major risk as the possibility that a well-
funded competitor will enter the market, you will want to take steps to quickly secure key customer contracts or
line up significant funding yourself.
Evaluating your risks isn’t meant to be an exercise in fear (although if you are intimidated by the risks ...

Thought Leadership Marketing: From Hidden Talent to Visible Expert - Presente...Dana Vanden Heuvel
Thought Leadership Marketing: From Hidden Talent to Visible Expert - Presented at the Iowa AMA
Business-to-business (B2B) marketers are being asked to position their firms as thought leaders in the industries they serve, but many marketers are still murky on just what thought leadership is and even more unsure of how to activate their experts for thought leadership. Marketers need more than just a body of content and social media to become thought leaders on the issues that are most relevant to their customers.
This event is designed for marketers who seek to use thought leadership as a means to market their brand and want to know the best way to establish thought leadership within their industry. Attendees will walk away with an understanding of what thought leadership is, and what it is not, how to build the discipline of thought leadership in an organization and how to take the first steps away from ‘hidden talent’ toward the ideal of ‘visible expert’.
Attendees will leave armed with a series of tools to help them determine and test their platform, establish the right thought leadership channels and build the case for thought leadership marketing in their organization.
When you need to get your marketing team focused and ready to move forward with new marketing technology like social media or thought leadership or you’re looking for a facilitator to help you get the most from a marketing breakout session, The MarketingSavant Group is ready with workshop sessions that range from a half day to two days. These customized workshops, seminars and boot camps address your specific priorities, marketing environments, and challenges. Our events are educational and action-oriented.

Customer Twervice: Protect Your Reputation with Social Media Customer ServiceDana Vanden Heuvel
Have you ever had a social media customer service experience? According to one recent poll on customer service online, 83% of business respondents said they answer customer complaints via social channels in less than six hours. What’s your response time? If you’re reading this and think “hey, I don’t really monitor social media that closely, let alone respond” you’re not alone. In fact, only about 40% of retailers actually monitor what their customers say online.
It’s no longer enough to sit on the sidelines. When your target customer spends five hours a day on Facebook; sends 120 text messages and half a dozen tweets a day from a smartphone and posts photos, videos, and blogs around the clock; “checks in” regularly using Foursquare at favorite retail locations to become “mayor”; relies on a plethora of mobile apps like Google Maps to get from one place to another, you can bet that they expect you to be there in social media when they want service!
This one-hour webinar covers the fundamentals of social media customer service, the best practices to employ and shares cases and examples the good, the bad and the ugly of social media customer service.

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

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

LA HUG - Video Testimonials with Chynna Morgan - June 2024Lital Barkan
Have you ever heard that user-generated content or video testimonials can take your brand to the next level? We will explore how you can effectively use video testimonials to leverage and boost your sales, content strategy, and increase your CRM data.🤯
We will dig deeper into:
1. How to capture video testimonials that convert from your audience 🎥
2. How to leverage your testimonials to boost your sales 💲
3. How you can capture more CRM data to understand your audience better through video testimonials. 📊
2. The old playbook…
“…build a recession “…response to the
marketing plan based recession varies by
on the firm’s strategic geography, sector and
capabilities” firm size”
3. The new playbook
There is no panacea
Strong firms benefit from investment and suffer from
cost cutting
Proactive marketing is not always a guarantee of
success
Firm’s viewpoint on the recession determines strategy
“How an organization perceives a change in the
environment affects the level and type of response”
Focusing on historically profitable regions and
customer groups will miss the mark
4. Four prescriptions for managing through an
economic recession
Prescription Explanation Effect

and even companies may become
available.
5. One way of looking at things…
Corporation
Conversation Customer
Competition
7. Internal Branding and Morale
Employee issues are critically important during
recessions and in preparation for recovery
Constant communications has been proven to sustain
high morale and maintain company strength
For Example: Black and Decker increases communications during times of recession in
order to maintain morale and credibility among their employees.
• The company alerts employees to changes in their respective departments
• They communicate up front what the managers see as areas for potential reductions in
employment or financial support
• Black and Decker continues its investment in organizational development
• The company philosophy is to promote employees from within, even during a recession.
8. Multiple markets and geographies
Examine your customer base for cycles &
counter cycles and prepare to shift focus
Examine regions, or even parts of the
city/state/county that have performance
differentials
Identify customers less affected by recession
Who needs your help the most in the recession?
Could you do more business virtually, not
dependent on local geography?
9. Micromarket to profitable segments
Consumer marketers with access to micromarket
data have even more opportunities to enhance
profitability.
One beverage company recently conducted surveys that
identified staggering differences in the potential profitability of
customers within individual markets and micromarkets. A
company can maximize its profitability by focusing on
micromarkets less sensitive to prices while also offering discounts
or preferential pricing elsewhere to drive sales volumes.
11. Plan to confront declining sales
Ear to the ground, “CRM mentality”
Don’t believe that economists (3/01 – 90% said “no
recession)
Get comfortable with the data – it’s all about the
data!
Setup trigger points at which you invoke different
parts of your recession marketing plan
For Example: In 2001, ADC communications, a competitor to Lucent, Cisco and Nortel
saw it’s sales degrading to the point of a 27% dip. The immediately retrenched, changed
course, implemented a recession marketing & sales strategy and gained market share on
each of their major competitors that they retain to this day.
12. Promote products & services
Don’t be tempted to abandon planned initiatives
Supplier switching activity peaks during recessions!
Cheap advertising = higher ROMI
Your best prospects are your competitors best
customers
For Example: Dixieline Lumber, a 10-unit San Diego chain, two marketing initiatives
helped increase company sales by 9% during the recession of 2001.
1) The first was directed to the building trade and involved training the in-store sales
force to assemble hardware packages for custom-home builders.
2) The second initiative was directed at homeowners and involved increasing marketing
on millwork as homeowners switched from spending on traveling and entertainment
to fixing up their homes.
13. Maintain advertising & marketing
All data points to higher post-recession market
share for sustained or increased investment
Confidence is built through sustained successful
efforts
Mix in new marketing vehicles to maintain reach but
reduce cost
Steady marketing sustains brand awareness and
position with consumers
For Example: Carpet Mills of America increased its sales by 24.4% during the recession
of 2001 simply by sustaining their overall marketing efforts while their competitors
shuttered their marketing.
14. Introduce new products & services
Historically, some of the best innovations come from
recessions
Less noise and clutter means more room for you
(increase SOV & SOM)
Innovations are proven to keep customers buying in
times that are otherwise slow
For Example: There are two examples of great interest:
1) Paychex, an payroll processor, launched Taxpay in 1990 as an additional service for
it’s existing customers on Paychex. It brought in a burst of new revenues from
existing customers while introduced new customers to both Taxpay and Paychex,
setting itself up nicely for the recovery
2) Black & Decker introduced a highly successful line of 33 new power tools during the
1990 recession that set it up to capitalized on the DIY boom of the next decade.
15. Find price cut alternatives
Don’t send unintentional messages training your
customers to buy on discount only
Bundling, repackaging, white labeling, adding
service elements to products, tiered offerings and a
host of other mechanisms can sustain profitability
without entering a price war.
For Example: Grocery stores, department stores and other retailers often seek to raise
the profile of their own labels during recessions, often rebranding things to give them
broader appeal while increasing their profitability.
Microsoft and others have always sold a ‘bundled’ set of products that offers value while
maximizing profitability. Offer packages, include service offerings and seek out
customer input on what will provide the most value to them.
16. Attract new customers
Now’s a great time to get deep profiles of your
best customers (“Vertizontal”)
Focus on solutions – deep understanding of
customers includes deep understanding of their
needs, problems, pain points & desires
Maintain marketing presence as a show of strength
Capitalize on competitors pullbacks by
approaching their customers
Employ new marketing tools & channels to attract
customers from new media
17. Reprioritize marketing vehicles
Reevaluate the
effectiveness of current
vehicles
Shift 10-15% into new
media
Conduct a marketing
audit, don’t just do
guesswork
18. Reprioritize customer segments
Analyze customer segments for profitability to
determine shifts
B2B should examine risk on a per-customer basis
Watch where the trends are going
Setup tiers of customer segmentation
Core
Secondary
Opportunity
Harvest
19. Prepare for economic recovery
Typical recessions are 6mos – 2 years … Prepare
your plans for a 2 year horizon
Look for bargain acquisitions, leases, employees,
whatever you need to be successful on the upswing
Marketplace protection moves rapidly to
marketplace expansion
You’ll be flush with cash from the new customers
acquired in the downturn, ready to expand into the
recovery
