Grow & Prosper: Are Your Innovation Practices Inhibiting Success?
Innovation and new product development are cornerstones for growth in cosmetics and personal care, and yet remain a key difficulty to most companies. Ironically, success is commonly undermined by the internal practices and processes in place. By driving innovation performance, companies can achieve new product success through:
Maintaining “enough” idea as well as “good enough” ideas at the front end for a high-value development funnel
Accelerating time-to-market and meeting targeted product launch goals
Adapting portfolios quickly to respond to changing trends and consumer needs
Improving new product investment decision-making to focus resources on the highest value brand innovations and to contain risk
Sales Process Engineering: Marketing Planning and Automationpropatrea
Sales Process Engineering is a strategic planning system and toolset. It enables you to engineer a sales & marketing process to match the key stages in the buyers’ process - to mirror exactly how clients want to buy.
You can measure and optimise each progressive stage in your sales & marketing process. Then specify the campaigns, collateral and training that will boost performance and maximise your return on investment.
The planning system targets the key issues that trouble sales and marketing Directors:-
# Sales and marketing alignment: where there are conflicting strategies and tactics between your teams. To ensure a shared understanding of the market and what’s required to create and convert new market opportunity into growth & revenue.
# Sales and marketing process is opaque: Sales Process Engineering enables you to identify and fix problems that arise from the earliest stage of market planning - through to the sales close and retention.
# Metrics: inability to measure and evaluate performance at each key stage in the sales and marketing process. Where are the stats needed daily/ monthly to monitor and manage business development?
# Scalable: no forecasting of return on investment and time-scales. Sales Process Engineering answers such questions as: how and where to invest in sales and marketing in order to scale up the business to generate more revenue and profits?
# Buyer Behaviour: data is required on exactly how decisions are made, by whom and for what reasons during the course of the “buyer’s journey”. Can you sell effectively without knowing why customers buy and what influences them?

Lean Portfolio Strategy Part 3: Epic Management - Take the ExitsCprime
Organizations might have set up all the process steps for portfolio flow: the monthly strategic portfolio review, the portfolio kanban, even the lean business case. But, they are still not getting the idea that small, testable, constantly evaluated initiatives are what really increase your output of value to the customer and put you way ahead of the competition.
In part 1 of this webinar we explored how signs of imitation LPM show up in an organization’s approach to strategy. In part 2, we covered how to organize around value streams with examples of successful LPM.
Now, in this third webinar in our Lean Portfolio Management series we’ll join Cprime's Michiko Quinones (Jira Align Consultant), Jean Dahl (General Manager, Scaled Agility), & Neha Tiwari (Business Agility Portfolio Consultant) to learn techniques to:
Question performing work that doesn't clearly align to your organization's strategy
Develop a process that makes things smaller and testable when it comes to initiative creation and management
Build a culture that allows work to stop if it's not going to meet its intended purpose
Make sure that you are "thinking lean," rather than just "doing lean"

Product Management Basics for Project ManagersRich Mironov
ProDUCT management is often a murky role: poorly understood and inconsistently practiced across tech companies – and often confused with proGRAM and proJECT management. Yet done well, product management is a driver of market success and effective development. Agile teams building commercial software have additional role confusion between product owners and sometimes-agile product managers. This PMI webinar outlined product management basics, contrasted them with project/program management, and matched this to scrum-defined product ownership.

Great approach demonstrated via slides from a recent @archie_borland @MarkKulak webinar for Borland Software.
Key take-aways:
- Agile is filled with benefits, but has some unintended consequences which “bottleneck” delivery
- The market trend has this getting worse – backed by analysts & customers
- Take practical steps now to overcome with a few key process improvements to eliminate
The frantic pace of change, driven by mobile, cloud and the rise of the consumer, is introducing new levels of complexity to the software industry and forces organizations into more fragmented ways of working. Today's development managers are subjected to constant change that they cannot control, yet must manage, and are responsible for delivering the applications their customers need at an unprecedented scale and pace. To stay relevant and meet customer demand in the face of constant change requires a truly optimized approach.

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.

Windows, Entrances, Visual
Merchandising, Signage and In-Store
Marketing pulls the Traffic into the

merchandise presentation, signage,
lighting, branding, promotions, capital
and expense control

Bruce Quisno, Senior VP, Macy’s
"Getting a coordinated set of documents that are as close to 100% complete as
possible. Also, please cover with them that the planning and design company
needs to do check estimates during the design process so you have an idea of
where you are always. Just some pet peeves. Hope you had a happy new year.
Bruce.
38. INDUSTRY LEADERS QUOTE
Rich Varda, Senior Vice President, Store Design, Target
I completely agree with Bryan. I would add that actual phone and face-to-face
meetings are critical to effective communication. E-mail's can be useful but stifle
interactive questioning. Owner driven retail change are always a complex issue.
Controlling the cost of changes through mutual trust, clear expectations and
written agreements is critical. Also, everyone should get ready for two years of
NO new construction, but perhaps significant re-models as chains liquidate and
properties turn over. The innovators in delivering these types of projects quickly
and at low cost will do very well. When we took over 35 Montgomery Ward boxes
in 2000, speed was of the essence in getting the properties productive.
46. INDUSTRY LEADERS QUOTE
Stephen Gallant, CDP, Vice President Facilities Development, Jos.A. Banks
Given the economic crisis perhaps covering how to manage a growth pattern
that is not consistent annually and how to adapt to changing markets in our
position. In leaner times we tend to try to spend only what is necessary on
remodels by supplementing existing finishes and fixtures. In better times we
trend toward giving an exiting store more of a new store prototype. I also believe
that reviewing prototypes to value engineering finishes, fixtures and methods to
be as efficient as possible would also be well received. They could cut Project
Manager travel by setting up job-site cameras and getting weekly photo updates
from GC partners
52. INDUSTRY LEADERS QUOTE
Jane W Davis, Architectural & Planning Services, J C Penny’s
When we are at our very busiest, the position of Store Planner is critical. The
entire project relies on "when" a plan will be available to develop the project
timeline. Finding experienced and interested Store Planners is very hard. You
must either try to hire from other department stores or expect to train viable
candidates. Staying aware of the merchant's most current philosophies is an on-
going requirement.From the department store position, juggling the interest's of
(and trying to satisfy) multiple merchandising divisions within one building is a
challenge. Good communication by Store Planning to architects and construction
partners helps the team process. If everyone understands the purpose for the
layout or changes, then the implementation seems to happen
smoothly.Communication and teamwork would be my key take away words.
60. INDUSTRY LEADERS QUOTE
Ray Silverstein, Senior Vice President, Limited Brands
Everyone on the project has the ability to either screw it up or make it successful,
regardless of whether they are an internal team member or an external
consultant / vendor / supplier. So, if you communicate a lot internally but don't
devote the same level of commitment to communicating with your external team
- you will likely see problems. Setting up regular meetings with both internal and
external team members and sharing databases or reports across the team is
very important.
