Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.

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.

14. Implementation Grant What is the size of this grant? Grants of $2,500 will be issued; organizations will have the option of directing funds to a vetted consultant through Theatre Bay Area. Who is eligible for this grant? To apply for this grant, the organization must have completed the Beginner courses of Leveraging Social Media (LSM) in either 2010 or 2011, and must not have participated in the Intermediate courses offered in 2011. It is not a requirement that the same staff that participated in classes still be at the organization. However, continuity of knowledge will be taken into account and should be addressed in the application.
15. Implementation Grant What is required to apply for this grant? Applicants will briefly describe a small-scale experiment in social media to be completed over the course of six to twelve months starting on January 1, 2012. This experiment should be based on insights gained from a previous social media experiment implemented during the organization’s participation in LSM. The experiment can be conducted with any social media platform, as long as the objectives and methods of measurement are clearly articulated, confined, measureable, and executable within the allotted time. Applicants should also describe their experience and results integrating social media prior to LSM workshops; discuss how their social media practice has changed due to LSM workshops, and how they expect to further benefit from conducting this experiment. Applicants will be required to submit a final report outlining the results of the experiment, what the organization learned, and how the organization plans to improve future social media efforts based on those lessons.

17. Implementation Grant What are eligible expenses that this grant can be used for? Grants may be used to pay for staff time, hardware, software or consulting. Grants may cover all or part of the expenses of the proposed project but, should the budget exceed $2,500, an explanation of how the remaining funds will be secured must be included in the application. When are applications available? Applications for the Beginner grants of Leveraging Social Media will be available September 19, 2011 via the San Francisco Foundation website. The application must be completed online. When must applications be completed? Completed applications must be submitted via the San Francisco Foundation’s website by 11:59 PM on October 20, 2011. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered. How many grants are available? There are twenty grants available. The total possible applicant pool is thirty-eight organizations.
18. Implementation Grant On what criteria will applications be evaluated? Applications will be evaluated on how clear and realistic they are regarding the scale, structure and funding of the proposed experiment. Close attention will be paid to the design of the experiment and the nature and specificity of the benchmarks that will be used to evaluate the outcomes. While innovation is encouraged, the most important consideration will be whether the proposed experiment has a high likelihood of truly enlightening the organization about a particular aspect of social media. In addition, because the applicant pool is limited to previous participants in the LSM program, applications will be evaluated on what they learned from their previous experiences and experiments. Applicants are encouraged to discuss both successes and failures and will not be penalized for experiments that did not work but evaluated on the insights they gained from them.
19. Implementation Grant If I have questions about the application, to whom should I speak? Questions regarding the content of your application can be directed to Clayton Lord at clay@theatrebayarea.org. No phone calls please.

So, I’m lucky to have recruited a fabulous co-moderator, Becky Jain. She is going to help me with the back channel – the chat.Becky is a blogger and active on many social media communities. After studying at Wesleyan and the London School of Economics, she came to India to live with her husband, and to work in the development sector. She recently moved to back to the US and in NYC.Say hello!

One person from each organization will present the five-minute verbal presentation. If a second person from the organization is present, they will listen to the other presentations. All the presenters are arranged in a large circle along the edge of the room. The remaining workshop participants are assigned to a presenter. The facilitator rings a bell to start proceedings. Each participant goes to one of the presenters. Presenters have 5 minutes, to give their presentation and 2 minutes to answer questions. At the end of the eight minutes, the facilitator rings a bell. At this point, each group moves over to the presenter to their right and the timer starts once more. The session ends when every participant has attended all the presentations.
