involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,

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.

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.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

There is no solution at

If funding is provided,
we’ll get over the
barriers, provide the best
solution, meet the
market needs, and make
the problem go away
However there are also
barriers that stop our
answer from happening
naturally, e. g. customers’
uncertainty that the
solution will fulfill the
needs
This is why there is a
need for final testing,
adaptation,
documentation,
certification, showcasing,
replication, etc.

Coordinator, Technical Manager, etc.)
highlighting major achievements.
Phase 2
• Decision-making and conflict resolution processes the consortium will obey.
• Appropriated innovation management flow within your organizational structure - includes both
scientific and market domains of the project.
• Risk analysis, contingency and mitigation planning. Identify particular risks implied in your
Work-Plan and elaborate plans to overcome this risk.

• Describe the consortium and role of participants
• How do the members complement one another (and cover the value chain, where
appropriate)?
56. Implementation – Summary
Convince the evaluators that you can make
it…
Technical and commercial competences
Credible team and work plan
External partners to bring competences that
the company does not have
Realistic time frame
Budget – argue cost, fail on over budgeting
58. 4. Members of the consortium

a curriculum vitae or description of the profile of the persons
a list of up to 5 relevant publications, and/or products, services
a list of up to 5 relevant previous projects or activities
a description of any significant infrastructure and/or technical equipment
a description of any third parties that are not represented as project partners

60. 5. Ethics and Security
5.1 Ethics
Ethics Self-assessment
5.2 Security
activities or results raising security issues: (YES/NO)
'EU-classified information' as background or results: (YES/NO)
61. Integrate all sections
Keys to success
- Novelty (validate before you start – freedom to operate)
- Match to topic
- Strongest partners (e.g end-users)
- Sell the idea on the first 2 pages
- Specific and not generic
- Good structure
63. Why going to Phase 1?
1) The success rate of a Phase 2 proposal based on a Phase 1 project (15.3%) is more than
twice the success rate of a proposal submitted directly to Phase 2 (6.6%).
2) The resource-related risk would be less than going directly for phase 2 (phase one
application consists of a proposal of 10 pages and the grant is 50.000€, so less effort in
writing the application and funding to prepare a good Phase 2 application)
3) There are some important activities that could be done under Phase 1 related to
market segmentation and product pricing, competition assessment, etc.
SMEs are recommended to apply for Phase 1, but may also apply for
subsequent phases depending on the progress of their projects

67. KEY TAKEAWAYS
SCOPE
Innovation projects (but not necessarily rocket science…)
Emphasis on market- and business-related aspects – Impact is key
(use strategic business plan logic)
Focus on commercialization plan and ambition to grow business
Demonstrate capacity to implement the project
WRITING
Start early – it takes 100-400h to write a good proposal
Be clear and to the point – avoid too much redundancies (modest repetitions)
Guide the reader and build a narrative – clear structure, explanations, conclusions;
use figures/diagrams and tables
Ensure consistency (between proposal parts/sub-sections)
Quantify – avoid generic text
Be ambitious (yet realistic) – e.g. you need an attractive business case with good ROI
Convince evaluators to invest in your business (think like an evaluator…)
Content is key, but form (structure/narrative/text quality) also matters…
