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

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.

myCreations history
In 1995, Paul Woodward and Simon Tucker began the research and
development of a product specification management system for the private
label supply chain market. Launching ProdSpec version 1 in 1997.
British Bakeries
Long Clawson Dairies
Moy Park Poultry
Youngs Bluecrest (Findus)
Over the next 18 months over 40 food manufacturers across the
UK adopt ProdSpec for managing retailer product specifications.
Recognizing the potential of holding the data electronically,
Tesco approach RSC to develop the first ever product development
and compliance lifecycle system, Due Diligence IT (DDIT) is launched
in 1999 along with ProdSpec version 2.
RF Brookes
Irwins Bakery
HL Foods
Dairy Crest
Premier Foods, Kerry Foods, Greencore, Uniq Foods, Manor Bakeries, Hitchin Foods, Express Dairies and over 100 more...
Tesco Stores
After the success of DDIT at Tesco and the continued growth of
private label products in the UK market, ASDA Wal-Mart and The
Big Food Group adopt DDIT. RSC introduce the world’s first
collaborative environment for their supply chains to adopt.
This led to a
redevelopment of ProdSpec
and the introduction of NPD
and formulation
management modules for
the supply chain market. No
longer just a spec
management system,
ProdSpec is re-launched as
Creations NPD.
MICROS Supply Chain (MSC) started out as a bespoke software development house
called RSC for the food manufacturing market. In the 80’s, the business launched an
ERP solution establishing a loyal client base still using this system today. However, as
competition significantly increased the need to offer complimentary products became
vital and so our story begins...
ASDA Wal-Mart
The Big Food Group
5. MICROS Supply Chain | myCreations Overview 5
As the market recognized the efficiencies being experienced by
DDIT users, in their ability to respond to market needs and
incidents, all private label retailers started to consider their
options. To meet this growing demand RSC redeveloped DDIT
into a complete collaborative product development and
compliance portal, rebranding and launching Creations PLM in
Safeway
Somerfield
Tesco upgrade to Creations PLM
MICROS Systems acquires the RSC business,
recognizing the global potential and worldwide
market needs.
With the growing demand on brand owners to provide greater
consumer information and comply with more diligent
legalisations, whilst innovating with global products and markets,
MICROS identified the need to take Creations to the next level
offering a scalable global platform inclusive of modules developed
specifically to meet every process across the end to end lifecycle of products,
artwork and suppliers. In 2008 a 4 year redevelopment project began re-
branding Creations generation 3 as myCreations and launching the first
modules in 2011.

myCreations Solution Survey Program
When making any considerable purchase it is essential you are assured that the purchase is fit for purpose, safe and can
be delivered reliably to you. It is also vital to the vendor that your requirements are understood and your expectations
are accurately set, allowing them to deliver to their promise.
We at MSC provide solutions to enable our clients to protect and develop their brands. Like you, protecting and
developing our brand is important to us and only by delivering on our promises to you will we achieve this. Therefore
we have designed a 3 day Solution Survey Program (SSP) to enable you to experience all aspects of adopting
myCreations from trialling and testing the features, reviewing the usage, understanding the deployment options,
examining the return on investment justifications and getting to know each other; as the right ethos, commitment,
integrity and approach are vital to a successful and long term partnership.
As this is a joint assessment and survey of the requirements, solution fit and relationship benefiting both businesses we
offer the SSP as a complimentary service in return for your investment in time to the program.
To ensure the SSP is successful we welcome the opportunity to invite each department in the process to experience
myCreations through specialized 2-3 hour workshops conducted by one of our industry practitioners and product
experts over a 3 day period. In parallel, one of our business consultants will review with you the deployment options,
financial options, IT policies and considerations, resource needs and return on investment potential.
At the end of the SSP we will provide a comprehensive report detailing our findings and recommendations to you on
the ideal myCreations solution. In conjunction with this we will be able to provide an assured proposal accurately
setting out the solution components, prices and services relevant to meeting your specific requirement. This ensures
that all aspects have been considered, reviewed and agreed allowing us to set your expectations reliably. Additionally,
this also enables consistency and focus throughout your on-going evaluation and deployment to the agreed objectives.
The following SSP workshops have been designed to maximize your experience of myCreations and follow a logical flow
across the end to end product development and quality program. In addition we ask to meet with your key sponsors,
to establish their directives and commitment, and your IS teams to explore any IT considerations and policies.

myCreations price guide
myCreations has been designed to be adopted by all sizes of business across every vertical and layer
within the supply chain of consumer products. The entire suite of applications and services are modular
and can be purchased based upon your level of requirements, internal capability and budget.
To assist you in evaluating myCreations we have created this price guide to help explain the options and
set your expectations for when charges will apply.
As an analogy that we believe everybody is familiar with, the myCreations
price model is very similar to that of the telecommunications market. In
simple terms consider myCreations as the handset with a variety of feature
options that determines the purchase price. Then there is a maintenance
support fee per quarter entitling you to helpdesk support, product updates
and version upgrades. Also, the option of how you pay for your calls, texts
and data, i.e. either through a contracted fixed fee per month, so you know
exactly what your spend is, or pay as you go at a cost per minute, allowing
you to control costs according to your need. Finally, the option of paying the
provider to set-up, configure and transfer your data across or simply taking
the default factory settings and managing this yourself.
A myCreations proposal will also have the same 4
price components as the analogy above. These are:
1. A perpetual licence determined by the
number of modules, features and internal
users specified. This is purchased and paid for
upon delivery of the core solution.
2. An annual managed service fee paid per quarter providing you with user helpdesk support, application
updates, version upgrades and application hosting.
3. The option of either; a fixed annual licence based upon a selected tariff for an expected volume of suppliers
and products paid per quarter over the contracted term. Or, pay as you go, allowing you to be billed each
quarter for the actual volume over that period.
4. Implementation services allowing MSC to manage a program of activities to configure the solution to your
needs, support internal change management programs, manage the supply chain on-boarding and if
required modify the application exclusively to you. Or alternatively, following an initial set-up, handover to
your internal teams to perform the above services.
Proposals are provided following an on-site
survey. For more details please contact one

myCreations difference
Introduction
In today's market it is growing increasingly difficult to identify true differences between vendors that you can
trust. As a specialized provider in our space, we argue there are very few close competitors although if you
research using terms like Product Lifecycle Management you will find many. Most however are generic and
although on paper indicate all the items expected, they do not have the functional depth, knowledge and
experience of brand and private label product development and quality, specifically in food. We would
therefore like to draw your attention to our differences for your consideration and hope this helps with your
evaluation.
Why Micros Supply Chain
Our values… our leadership began the business in 1995 pioneering the research with several retailers and
food manufacturers before launching our award winning product in 1997. Our ethos has always been to
Learn, Execute, Assist and Deliver on our promises, adopting this LEAD approach across every function
within the business. Although a minor interpretation, it is significant to us that we share a close client
relationship instead of servicing a customer. As you are, we are passionate, proud and protective of our
brand and ensuring we meet your goals enables us to meet ours.
Our clients… we are fortunate that we work with some of the best brand and private label providers across
the world. Our partnerships over the last 15 years have enabled us to deliver high quality and functional
solutions that frankly have been honed to perfection by some of the most demanding companies to reach the
highest quality. Long may this continue.
Why MSC over our competitors?
Our people… we employ food and non-food, quality and product development practitioners to design,
collaborate and advise on the use of our solutions. 50% of our business have sat where you are and
experienced your situation, challenges and concerns and bring understanding and knowledge to ensure we
guide and support you. Our user perspective ensures our continuous improvement and new product
programmes, supported by our highly professional and skilled software analysts, developers and quality
engineers, meet both today's and tomorrow's requirements.
Our focus… we are passionate and dedicated to myCreations and not distracted by offering sourcing, trading
and general IT services to the market. We utilize our specialized experience and knowledge to offer a fully
comprehensive end-to-end solutions for all our clients.
Our depth… unlike other solutions, which offer process management workflows collecting and managing
data sheets, we offer specialized integrated applications for product and supplier development and
compliance that have been designed from the ground up to meet the specific requirements of this market.
Our heritage… we are committed to offering solutions that enable brand protection, compliance and due
diligence efficiently and reliably to clients who are passionate, proud and protective of their brand. Our
collaborative environment ensures right first time, enables quality improvement and inevitably improves both
the speed and success of products to market. We do not offer systems that tick a box to meet a speed to
market demand.
Our leadership… we were 1st
to market in our specialized field in 1997; having led the market for over a
decade with our award winning generation 2 solution, we recognized the need for the next generation based
upon the changing global dynamics in consumer goods. In collaboration with our clients and partners we are
pleased to introduce the 3rd
generation of these systems that uniquely combine true collaboration, visibility
and control to every user individually across a global stage.
14. MICROS Supply Chain | myCreations Overview 14
Our reach… we offer our application through a global solution incorporating tailored e-learning programs for
every multi-national user plus worldwide helpdesk and online support. Our localized implementation teams
and specialized multi-lingual supplier engagement programs ensure adoption across your supply chain no
matter where they are. Through global alliance partners and a worldwide infrastructure of service centers in
over 160 countries we can serve you as your global, around the corner partner.
Why MSC over internal development?
Our expertise… the myCreations application has been built to meet the specific requirements of collaborating
with your supply chain on the development, quality and compliance of your products. Our internal industry
practitioners and global alliance partners ensure our solutions continue to meet market initiatives and
legislative requirements. This on-going and rapidly growing demand on you and your IT solution is often
overlooked and not accounted for in cost and resources within your internal IS providers.
Our priority… your solution is our business and our number 1 focus. Regrettably, quality and compliance
solutions are not always regarded as business critical compared to point of sale, inventory or procurement
solutions and therefore often downgraded by internal IS departments in their response levels to the business.
Our development… why reinvent and continually invest in enhancing your internal solution when statistically
over 80% of your requirements will be driven by market initiatives and policies, that are shared by your peers
across the industry. Our product development programs involve client and alliance collaboration to enable
Micros to continually invest in these enhancements and keep you informed and tooled to meet these
requirements.
Misleading statements
In a competitive environment it is sometimes too easy for vendors to position themselves in a manner that
could be misleading. Common claims are for example, stating the size of their business as parent turnover
instead of the turnover of the product being sold, claiming long lists of clients who may be customers but are
not users of the product you are buying, and promoting a global presence when actually this means they sell
globally.
We hope our claims do not mislead and ask you challenge us to assist you in a true evaluation and start a
relationship based upon trust.
“I have been with the business since the early 90's and I am very proud of the award winning products we have created and
the experience, credibility, integrity and success my team have bought our partners. At Micros Supply Chain we don't install
systems, we deliver solutions and promises ensuring our partners continue to trust and respect our capabilities. With our
unique 50/50 blend of industry specialists and IT professionals we are able to relate to every situation and provide advice and
specially designed software solutions.
Using our core and award winning application suite called Creations, we have developed in partnership with many of the
world’s leading private label retailers and manufacturers some of the most advanced product and supply chain lifecycle
systems managing over $60bn worth of product today. Our commitment is to ensure we help you succeed against your goals
and recognize that everybody and every business is different. Through partnership we can explore, collaborate, create and
generate from our core products a perfectly tailored and proven solution for you. “

myCreations return on execution (ROX)
MSC recognize the challenge faced by the majority of quality compliance departments in justifying spend.
Traditionally seen as a cost centre and often undervalued as part of business growth strategies all expenses have
needed to be argued as tangible return on investment statistics. However, all this is now changing as more and more
regulative requirements expose the liabilities on the brand owner highlighting the need for greater due diligence and
collaborative processes across your supply chain to avoid greater costs, penalties or in extreme situations the down
fall of a brand.
Our Return on Execution (ROX) explores both the tangible benefits possible as well as the fundamental reasons why
a business must deploy processes to protect their brand and deliver safe, reliable and trusted products to the
market.
It is a fact that both revenue growth and potential
cost savings can be achieved through improved
quality procedures and collaborative supply chain
data management.
Accuracy of data drives expectations, predictions
and credibility. A trusted brand can be innovative,
introduced into new markets and survive most
industry incidents. Accuracy of data also drives
efficiency reducing costly rework activity and
