Description
Innovation is a central element of business growth strategy within companies that aim to generate added value for their customers, the company itself, and other stakeholders. While many company executives and business leaders agree that in order for their companies to survive today’s increasingly global marketplace, they must face the unpleasant truth that there may have to be fundamental changes in who they are, what they do, and how they do it. Few executives feel their companies are good at the specific processes and tactics frequently tied to successful innovation, such as generating breakthrough ideas, selecting the right ideas, prototyping, and developing business cases. We will provide insights to help you define and implement a process to drive innovation within your company using a sustainable approach to ignite business growth.
The speaker will discuss how you can leverage innovation as a resource to help shape a better future for your company’s growth and your career. These insights will help you increase creativity, nurture collaboration and lead activities to transform innovation to profit. He will identify the value of innovation, methodologies, and concrete steps you can take to foster innovation within your company.

Going Beyond Innovation: How Companies Must Use "Market-Driven" Principles to...CompellingPM
Innovation. Productivity. Quality. Companies understand these as key principles for improving competitiveness and achieving sustainable and profitable growth. Governments also recognize the importance of investing in these principles to make their countries more competitive and to achieve economic growth. Most of the time, investments in innovation, productivity and quality are focused on the products and services and the processes to deliver them. This is a necessary and important investment, but this investment will only achieve a sustainable and desirable result if the central focus is on the market. The key to sustainable competitiveness and growth through innovation, productivity and quality is through a set of "market-driven" principles. Only then can a company (& country) truly succeed.

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

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.

17. Background
May is an illustrator. Within a decade of graduating from school, she has a gallery in Hong Kong that
permanently displays her art, and has exhibited in 13 countries in Asia, Europe and N. America. May
has successfully earned a living being an artist. Besides selling her art, she also alternates between
being a freelancer for commercial jobs and being employed at news publishers.
How did she get here?
Her journey:
May was born in Singapore and had followed a “traditional” path in education.
During her time in university studying Chemistry, she took a fine arts elective
and discovered drawing. May decided to pursue her passion.
Her first job:
Fresh out of university, May did not have connections in the fine arts space. Her interest was in encouraging
dialogues about real live scenes she illustrates.
She decided to learn about the industry by working as an illustrator in a well‐known publishing house.
May put together a portfolio and emailed the editor for an internship. The editor liked her work and she got
the internship. The internship worked out very well and she landed a full‐time job.
The Problem: But, the publishing house shut down less than 2 years later. May had to find something else.
She decided to give it a shot as a freelancer. But she was still considerably new in this field.
What would you have done if you were her?
www.edenstrategyinstitute.com COPYRIGHT Eden Strategy Institute 2012 17
18. Gaining Visibility
What do you think she did to gain visibility in the beginning?

25. Crafting your own Artist Statement
Write a specific artist statement in language that all can understand, so people
can connect to your brand, you, and your art:
• Why you make your art
• Unifying principles in your work
• The connection between your interpretation
of the message and the medium
• How you make it
• What its made of
Speak powerfully about who you are & what you do

26. “Repetition adds to Reputation”
Andy Warhol
Work ethic
• Clutter‐free space in studio, with a small body of work that customers can be ‘alone’ with
• Be there
• Be attentive to all, just introduce yourself to anyone who seems interested
• Talk briefly to as many people you don’t know, not lecture
• Connect & ask what they want in their art, what art means to them, what they
expect to get out of it, and why they want to own it
• Speak their language
• Make people comfortable around your art
• Don’t argue with their interpretations
• Receive feedback
• Always stay positive, even about critics / competitors
• Give unexpected personalized statements / background / info to delight customers

27. Brand You

• Develop your own style
• Make your art distinctly
recognizable
www.edenstrategyinstitute.com COPYRIGHT Eden Strategy Institute 2012 27
28. Promote shamelessly; no one will do it for you!
• How is your work special?
• Thoroughly research galleries for fit,
and obtain a referral when you’re
really ready
• Document portfolio / brochures /
articles / website: Recognizable
shows, awards, venues (e.g. even
restaurants), other collectors who buy
your art, what they liked, photos of
how your art is displayed
• Network to help others
• Make it easy:
• Say yes to every opportunity!
• Encourage clients to advertise
with your work / name / face

29. Business cards
• Never leave home without them
• Hand them out often
• So interesting they won’t trash
• Develop a contact database to interact
with (e.g. postcards, press releases)
• Have as much art out there as possible;
your art is the best ‘business card’ that
sells more art
www.edenstrategyinstitute.com COPYRIGHT Eden Strategy Institute 2012 29
30. Sell
• Why are you contacting a
gallery/dealer/museum/customer?
• Why would customers want to buy art
(e.g. personal connection to its
perspective/style/quality etc., as a
trophy for money/taste/knowledge)
• Customer concerns (e.g. confidence in
understanding art / expressing oneself,
quality, art becomes unfashionable,
price) and how other customers were
concerned but now ok
• No obligation sample / 2 week loan to
see how it will look
• Don’t oversell / pressure
www.edenstrategyinstitute.com COPYRIGHT Eden Strategy Institute 2012 30
31. Structure your prices
• Understand true market rates
• Make sure everything is priced
• A structure for existing artwork & another for commissions. Rush fee?
• Confidently talk about how long it takes to make it, materials used, how you price, what subject
matters/ mediums/ compositions collectors like most, investment value, and recent sales
• Be consistent about how you set prices, not based on how attached you are or how broke you
feel
• Annual inflation adjustment
• People don’t value what they don’t pay for
• Demand % of sale even for charities
• Don’t use high prices to fix your self‐esteem
• Have a variety of price points available (e.g. different sizes)
• Structure a payment plan (e.g. installations, upfront deposit)
• Discounts for returning customers
• Adjust if not working
