1) Bankers are working to refine stress testing processes that regulators began requiring after the financial crisis, with the goal of using stress tests to gain business intelligence and make better decisions.
2) Even smaller banks should perform stress tests on loan portfolios using severe hypothetical scenarios because it produces valuable knowledge about risks and opportunities, though larger banks face mandatory requirements.
3) Properly organizing loan data into mathematical models allows banks to better understand their portfolios and identify plausible risk forecasts, though commercial loans can be difficult to standardize given their variability.
In December 2014 Professor Jason Heyes, along with Dr Paul Lewis from the University of Birmingham, co-hosted a one-day workshop on ‘Regulating work and employment: recent changes/future prospects’. The event was attended by representatives of ACAS, the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), the CIPD and the Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA), as well as leading academics and early career researchers. The workshop was the culmination of a two-year project, funded by the British Academy and Leverhulme Trust, which has assessed the consequences of labour market policy reforms in the EU since the start of the economic crisis in 2008.
During the workshop, Jason Heyes, Paul Lewis and Mark Beatson – chief economist at the CIPD – discussed the implications of employment rights reforms for workers and employers while Dr Tim Vorley (Sheffield), Professor Ute Stephan (Aston) and Professor Simon Down (Anglia Ruskin) spoke about the impact of employment regulations on small businesses. Mark Heath from the GLA and Professor Linda Dickens from the University of Warwick assessed long-standing and emerging challenges facing government agencies responsible for ensuring compliance with employment rights while Tony Thomas and Paula Lovitt provided insights into BIS’ review of employment status.

The document discusses reputation management and reputational risk. It defines reputation versus brand, noting that reputation is a measure of trust created by stakeholders, while brands are manufactured by organizations. It also outlines the benefits of a good reputation and presents frameworks for reputation management and reputational risk management. These frameworks identify determinants of reputational risk and ways to manage such risks. The document then provides examples of these frameworks applied to Holcim Vietnam, including stakeholder analysis and typical causes and likelihood of reputation risks.
Best practice in reputation management in a causal framework by Dr Kevin MoneyAddison Group
The document discusses best practices in reputation management by placing reputation in a causal framework. It proposes that reputation is linked to behaviors and outcomes, and that measuring reputation requires understanding the dimensions of business choices and success with key stakeholders. The SPIRIT model is introduced as a tool to link the choices organizations make with the dimensions of success, in order to understand what drives key stakeholder behaviors and helps build a positive reputation. Case studies are presented on how this approach was used to understand what drives customer support for building societies that maintain their mutual status.
Quality - A question of trust ( world Quality Day)Naz Usmani
The document discusses building trust through quality in healthcare. It states that quality is intertwined with trust, which patients value. The role of quality professionals is to help organizations understand customer expectations, align values and culture, identify risks to trust and reputation, and reduce waste. Trust is built on human behavior and interactions through a just culture that balances accountability and blame. Understanding patient needs and maximizing value while reducing costs also builds trust. Maintaining good quality has long-term benefits and outweighs the high costs of poor quality outcomes. The overarching theme is that quality leads to trust, which is important in healthcare.
The document discusses a framework for understanding trust and its relationship to collaboration and innovation.
1) Weak ties and trust are important for innovation as they allow new ideas and knowledge to flow between parties. However, developing trust in weak ties relationships carries relationship risk that must be managed.
2) The Behavioral Trust Framework is presented as a tool to diagnose and understand trust at the individual level based on observable trusting, capability and communication behaviors.
3) Using the framework, individuals can identify their own trust-building and damaging behaviors to modify relationships and potentially foster more collaboration and innovation.
The document summarizes various funding options for tech startups, including bootstrapping, angel investors, venture capital, debt financing, and incubation centers. It discusses how bootstrapping involves self-financing through personal resources. It also explains that angel investors are high-net-worth individuals and former entrepreneurs who provide seed funding, while venture capital firms invest larger amounts across various stages but also seek control. Incubation centers provide initial support through subsidized office space and hardware.

The document summarizes the key findings and conclusions of a BA thesis on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability. It finds that businesses rely on public values and need international standards for CSR. Questioning the transparency of CSR reports and measuring its business impacts are also discussed. The thesis argues that CSR must fuse economic and sustainable paradigms by understanding their existing link, in order to guide companies ethically. It concludes that while CSR's role is important, businesses have not sufficiently questioned or professionally approached CSR despite public focus on sustainability.
Stakeholder analysis is used to identify an organization's stakeholders, assess how they may be impacted by or influence the organization, and develop strategies for managing stakeholder relationships. The document defines stakeholders as any person or group that can be positively or negatively affected by an organization's actions. It then discusses different frameworks for categorizing stakeholders, such as internal vs. external, primary vs. secondary, and mapping stakeholders based on attributes like power, interests, and urgency. Performing a stakeholder analysis helps an organization develop strategies to meet stakeholder needs and create value, thereby gaining acceptance and managing risks from stakeholders.
The document discusses ethical dilemmas that may face professional accountants working in public practice. It provides an overview of the accountant's responsibilities to act with integrity and in the public interest, while also serving clients. When resolving ethical issues, the accountant should consider threats to fundamental principles like objectivity and confidentiality, and seek advice if needed. Case studies then illustrate how an accountant can apply a conceptual framework to identify, evaluate, and manage threats to determine an appropriate response. Overall, the document aims to help accountants navigate competing demands and resolve ethical conflicts in line with their professional codes of conduct.
Power, politics and stakeholder managementazmatmengal
The document discusses stakeholder management during organizational change. It notes that stakeholders are any groups affected by change and that change managers must consider power dynamics and politics. Organizations can be seen as collections of groups pursuing their own interests, so change outcomes depend more on power than logic. The most powerful stakeholders are those who control important resources or solve critical problems. Change managers should identify key stakeholders, assess their support or resistance, and develop strategies to manage them appropriately over the change lifecycle.
There are two main theories of stakeholder management: Milton Friedman's theory that only shareholders matter, and Freeman's theory that all stakeholder groups are important to manage. Freeman argued that identifying and managing stakeholders is important for a corporation's consent to operate from the community. Key stakeholder groups include investors, employees, suppliers, customers, and governments. Effective stakeholder management involves identifying stakeholder groups, their interests, and priorities; communicating with them through appropriate channels; and integrating stakeholder analysis into strategic planning and issues management.

1. Integration of acquisitions is a process, not a single phase, and requires dedicated management. Communication during integration is critical.
2. Attention to organizational culture differences between companies is one of the most significant challenges in acquisitions. Assessing culture early in the process and planning integration is important for success.
3. While deals often assume best case outcomes, integrations typically require more time, cost more, and generate less value than expected. Success requires a tailored approach and ongoing focus on people issues.
Reputation Management Model Southwestern Illinois Tourism BureauElizabeth Keserauskis
This document discusses reputation management and the importance of building trust between an organization and its stakeholders. It emphasizes using social media and web content to directly engage with audiences in an authentic way. Key aspects of reputation management include providing a reliable customer experience, transparency, and building relationships over time through content that meets audiences' needs and allows two-way communication. The rise of social media and user-generated content has made public relations less one-directional and more about ongoing conversations to develop trust and loyalty.
The document discusses the benefits of trusted advisors compared to technical experts in management consulting. Trusted advisors build deeper customer relationships, provide more complete solutions, accelerate business development, are more satisfied in their jobs, and help create competitive advantage for their organizations. The document then defines characteristics of trusted advisors, such as being sought out for advice beyond their expertise and maintaining non-technical relationships. Finally, the document outlines seven key behavioral differences between trusted advisors and average performers identified by executives, such as great communication skills, seizing initiative, and putting clients first.
Pilot stress and fatigue are two major factors that impair aviation safety. Stress stems from job pressures and unstable work environments, while fatigue results from extended duty times, disrupted sleep schedules, and long-haul or night flights. Studies have linked life stresses, work stresses, and fatigue to reduced pilot performance and increased risk of aircraft accidents. Aviation regulators have imposed flight and duty time limits to address fatigue, but pilots and crews continue calling for reforms to further improve safety.
Struggling to define the ba role july 2008 v2Mia Horrigan
The document discusses the evolving role of business analysts (BAs) and struggles to define the BA profession. It notes that BAs apply a variety of skills and abilities to deliver critical client needs, similar to how heroes in the TV show Heroes use different powers. The document explores how the BA role overlaps with other roles like project management. It advocates growing the BA community of practice to help shape the profession and addresses challenges in defining the BA role versus discipline.
Social network analysis was used on a large, political project to better understand information flows. It revealed who the central and influential individuals were, how knowledge spread through formal and informal networks, and differences between core and peripheral members. This informed the development of detailed "ZenAgile personas" capturing user profiles, communication preferences, and social roles to help target communications and ensure all user needs were met. Analyzing the information architecture and social networks in this way helped improve knowledge sharing and minimize unnecessary work.
As an industry based lobby group we were faced with Legislation to reduce government funding by $1.9B. We needed to respond quickly and adopted an Agile approach to our digital campaign strategy in order to have a skinny version of the website up and running as soon as possible. We used a mix of Scrum and Kanban methods to prioritize widgets we required on the website and ensure our campaign remained responsive to stakeholders and built iterative changes to the site in order to respond to stakeholders and the political debate.
Process/Mechanics
The session will be a short 10min talk focusing on how a mix of Agile approaches, namely Kanban and Scrum were used as a management tool to coordinate the development of a new website for the campaign. The presenter will explain how the adoption of Scrum allowed the team to iteratively build features based on weekly sprint cycles and ensured weekly collaboration and communication between product owner, designers and developers of the website.
The presenter will demnonstrate how the introduction of a Kanban board to the Scrum process helped to manage the backlog of work packages and help focus the team on the ranked priorities for the current sprint. This provided a process to manage Workflow and allowed the team to remain flexible and responsive to the changing environment and stakeholder needs when changes were required mid sprint
Learning outcomes
• The blend of Scrum and Kanban helped to focus the team on the priorities and remain flexible and responsive to the changing environment and stakeholder needs
These Agile methods are an effective management tool and can aid coordination of work effort to deliver a campaign strategy

This document discusses the importance of understanding users in business process design and improvement projects. It notes that while processes are typically analyzed and documented first, understanding user needs, behaviors, and context is also critical for project success. The document recommends designing processes and systems with users in mind rather than just for the business. It provides examples of how to better understand users through personas, communication channel preferences, and segmentation of what users want. The trends discussed include a focus on users and agile approaches over traditional waterfall and documentation-heavy methods.
- Microflown Technologies was founded in 1998 in the Netherlands and invented a new type of sensor called Microflown that measures particle velocity rather than sound pressure like traditional microphones.
- The company has grown to 20 employees and 2 million Euros in annual turnover, focusing on markets in automotive, aerospace, and defense.
- Microflown sensors use heated wires on a semiconductor surface to directly measure particle velocity, providing advantages over traditional microphones like insensitivity to reflections and background noise.

- Scenarios covered issues like firing an underperforming friend, nepotism in hiring, honoring a union strike, and more. Analyses found people generally prioritized work obligations over personal relationships.
- At the end, the document concludes that ethics is important for business based on the survey finding that most people believe ethics benefits a company. However, ethics involves many complex factors
Grameen Bank in Bangladesh sought to cultivate mutual responsibility and empowerment among borrowers and staff. It has given out over 4.48 million loans with a 98.9% repayment rate. Sam Walton's 10 rules for success for entrepreneurs include committing fully to your business, sharing profits with partners, exceeding customer expectations, and controlling expenses better than competitors. Small businesses provide opportunities for entrepreneurs to experiment and hone their skills with nominal capital before growing into large industries.
The document outlines an agenda for a training on social work ethics. It will review legal precedents that relate to ethical responsibilities, introduce a decision-making model and ethical screens, discuss issues like dual relationships, privacy and confidentiality, informed consent, and impairment of colleagues. It will use case examples and exercises to help attendees apply ethical decision-making to different practice situations. Key topics include maintaining appropriate boundaries, managing conflicts of interest, and balancing client autonomy and other ethical responsibilities.
Why are corporates moving their way towards “ethically instilled workplace”.Ethics, what we already know is the moral philosophy which determines what is right and what is wrong. A prescribed code of conduct establishes the kind of and to what extent the ethics would be practiced in the organization. The need for ethics was felt when the organization faced the moral dilemmas in the workplace. Such dilemmas were complex and everyone bought their school of idea about ethics to the table. Also, the issue of business ethics has increased attention. Corporate research and watchdog groups such as the Ethics Resource Center and the Council on Economic Priorities brings out the number of organization that engage in ethics training.
The question arises why the corporates are now more diverted towards “being ethical”. This is what we founded in our research paper that why companies are moving towards ethical, to exist in long run why it is important to adopt ethical practises with the help of certain examples of companies and what happen to them when adopt ethical and unethical behaviour in their workplace.
Ethical theories document discusses deontological and teleological approaches to ethics. Deontological is non-consequentialist and focuses on moral principles and duties. It includes Kant's categorical imperative with three maxims: consistency, human dignity, and universality. Teleological is consequentialist and judges actions based on their outcomes and consequences. It includes egoism and utilitarianism perspectives. The document also discusses Kohlberg's stages of moral development and various positions on social responsibility like pristine capitalist, expedient, social ecologist, and deep ecologist. It analyzes variables determining cultural context of ethics and compares corporate versus personal ethical stances.

Criteria for Ethical Decision Making
Most ethical dilemmas involve a conflict between the needs of the part and the whole—the individual versus the organization or the organization versus society as a whole. For example, should a company scrutinize job candidates' or employees' social media postings, which might benefit the organization as a whole but reduce the individual freedom of employees? Or should products that fail to meet tough Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards be exported to other countries where government standards are lower, benefiting the company but potentially harming world citizens? Sometimes ethical decisions entail a conflict between two groups. For example, should the potential for local health problems resulting from a company's effluents take precedence over the jobs it creates as the town's leading employer?
Managers faced with these kinds of tough ethical choices often benefit from a normative strategy—one based on norms and values—to guide their decision making. Normative ethics uses several approaches to describe values for guiding ethical decision making. Five approaches that are relevant to managers are the utilitarian approach, individualism approach, moral-rights approach, justice approach, and practical approach.27

9. The Old Employment Model:“Master-Slave” Not allslavery structureswere/are the same.The same Is true foremployment terms Minimally constrained by human rights. Employment at Will is a logical evolution from this view.Eugene Genovese’s economic conclusion: slavery didn’t pay! (The Political Economy of Slavery: Studies in the Economy and the Society of the Slave South, 1965).
11. Employee Engagement Drivers Clear expectations for performance Adequate materials and equipment Ability to succeedin assigned roles A supervisor who cares about subordinates Co-workers committed to quality work Opportunities to learn and grow Source: Gallup Q12 Summary
12. Why think about “Fair Process?” “Process” includesanything fromgiving feedback toa single FF to setting departmental strategy We are most likely to trust and co-operate with individuals and systems - whether we win or lose - when we experience fair process. Kim & Mauborgne, Harvard Business Review, July – August 1997
13. The Three Elements of Fair Process Engagement Stakeholders invited to participate Participants have an opportunity to be heard Explanation Process and rationale are clearly explained, along with decisions and outcomes. Explanation is respectful – it is also often educational. Expectation Clarity When decisions are made, implications for all stakeholders are clearly articulated. Everyone knows what to expect, and what is expected of them. FairProcess isworking WITHothers
14. Fair Process does not mean: Democracy Consensus Happiness or Contentment Accommodation of individual wishes or whims Command relinquishing legitimate decision authority or accountability Just being nice A good indication of a fair process is when people who do not“get their way” understand why and how a decision was made, and acknowledge that the process was fair.
15. The Misuse of Power Maintain control by keeping employee’s at arms length. Substitute memos and forms for direct, two-way communication. Avoid challenges to their ideas and authority. Believe that knowledge is power and retain power by keeping what they know to themselves. Deliberately leave the rules for success and failure vague.
16. Customer Expectations and Commitments What should our customers expect from us? Do we communicate about those expectations? How do we hold ourselves accountable? How do we respond when problems arise? “Even if two customers are buying the same product, they may want totally different services wrapped around it.” – VP, Customer Service, semiconductor firm
17. Challenge: engaging vendors What should your clients expect from their vendors? What should vendors expect of them? What do basic, healthy relationships look like? What about shared-destiny, strategic relationships?
18. Ethical Dimensions of Competitors Ethical Duties: Comply with laws Refrain from manipulating legal/regulatory processes Competition can expand markets and validate customer desire Competition can drive innovation, discipline, and efficiency. Defeating competitors is an easy surrogate for the pursuit of excellence.
