The evolving role of the cio mkg occiort 021011James Sutter
The document discusses the evolving role of the chief information officer (CIO). It provides historical context on how the CIO role has changed from managing technology to becoming a strategic business leader. It then outlines three major trends challenging traditional CIOs: 1) the democratization of technology through mobile and social media, which shifts power away from IT, 2) business departments demanding more ownership over business processes, and 3) the rise of cloud computing, which allows other departments to procure technology without IT. The document argues that for CIOs to remain relevant, they must adapt to these trends by partnering more with business units and focusing more on strategic concerns than just keeping existing systems running.
Big Data Debate in Corporate Law - Inside Counsel - August 2015Rayford Davis
General counsels have traditionally been afraid of embracing big data due to concerns over risks and costs. However, data-driven decision making can help legal departments better understand risks, assess budgets realistically, and demonstrate their value to the business. While metrics are important, measuring legal work also poses challenges given its discretionary nature. Overall, when used properly, big data can help legal departments make informed choices that save companies millions through more efficient risk mitigation and management.

On January 28, 2016, Canada, along with many countries, will celebrate Data Privacy Day. Recognized by privacy professionals, corporations, government officials, academics and students around the world, Data Privacy Day highlights the impact that technology is having on our privacy rights and underlines the importance of valuing and protecting personal information.

Compliance is an essential part of HR, but it is always the bare minimum and should be assessed and analyzed as part of an overall culture strategy. Issuing a policy that says "We don't discriminate" is not the same as a comprehensive inclusion and diversity program.
Following the rules and filing reports are just part of creating a work environment where compliance happens on the way to larger goals for learning, performance, and wellness. But since HR never has to make the business case for compliance, it can be a persuasive approach to larger culture initiatives.
In this presentation, we survey compliance issues, who they affect, and why it's essential to see compliance as a culture issue.
You will learn:
- What compliance issues create risk for the organization.
- What compliance issues create risk for employees.
- Why people are the most important aspect of all compliance issues.
- When compliance problems are symptoms instead of causes.
- How to approach different compliance issues using tech, training, coaching and data.
- How to make compliance an effective part of a comprehensive approach to work culture and strategy.
The original webinar featured Mike Bollinger, Vice President-Thought Leadership and Advisory Services, Cornerstone OnDemand and Heather Bussing, Employment Attorney and Principal Analyst at HRExaminer.

This document outlines an IT marketing management (ITMM) framework. ITMM was created to help change perceptions of the IT organization and map to operational and tactical ITIL layers. The agenda covers introductions, why traditional frameworks focus on separation which is unnatural, how customer expectations have evolved with "infosumerism", challenges in finding the right marketing mix, using inner sales skills, and applying maturity models. Key points are that customers see IT differently than how IT sees itself; communication is critical given new transparent and social environments; and people, process and tools are still important with a focus on people. Metrics and adapting as customers and IT change are emphasized.

It argues that franchising provides benefits like name recognition, proven systems, support and lower failure rates compared to other options. Common myths about franchising are debunked, such as the ideas that only certain industries franchise, or that franchises are automatically expensive or require industry experience. Overall benefits of franchising are summarized as using a proven approach to starting and staying in business with

Additional Insured Issues in the Construction Industry" - Dnjcon14 session 2 ...HB Litigation Conferences
This document summarizes issues related to additional insured coverage in construction contracts. It discusses how construction contracts typically require subcontractors to name the property owner or general contractor as an additional insured on their insurance policies. Disputes often arise when injuries occur on construction sites and multiple parties seek coverage under different insurance policies. The document analyzes several court cases to explain how New Jersey courts interpret the scope of coverage for additional insureds, such as whether the injury must arise out of the subcontractor's work. It also discusses how newer additional insured endorsements have attempted to narrow coverage by using language like "caused in whole or in part by" rather than "arising out of."
This document lists topics of interaction between claims staff, accounting staff, technical staff, and legal teams.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
