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.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
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.

internal control systems should be created
• Risk management and internal control should be better
integrated into organizations’ overall governance, strategy,
and operations
• Risk management and internal control requirements and
guidelines should be further aligned internationally
19. Page 19 | Confidential and Proprietary Information
Global Survey on Risk Management & Internal Control
> Proposed Next Steps

standard setting organizations (such as ISO 31000,
COSO, and Risk Oversight & Governance Board) and
their guidelines closer together through active participation

PAIBs on risk management and internal control

around the globe (OECD, G20, UNCTAD, World Bank)

Evaluating and Improving Internal Control in
Organizations

private or public—should have appropriate internal control

system
• Integrated reporting

reporting (the egg)?
• Both reinforce each other. Reporting drives behavior within
an organization; transformational change derives from
integrated thinking

Editor's Notes
The International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) is a global coalition of regulators, investors, companies, standard setters, the accounting profession and NGOs. (inside front cover of CD)Together, this coalition shares the view that corporate reporting needs to evolve to provide a concise communication about how an organization’s strategy, governance, performance and prospects, in the context of its external environment, lead to the creation of value over the short, medium and long term. (inside front cover of CD)The International Integrated Reporting Framework is being developed to meet this need and provide a foundation for the future. (inside front cover of CD)The IIRC is chaired by Professor Mervyn King, and Paul Druckman is Chief Executive Officer.List the organisations and people on Council:Alex Malley, Chief Executive Officer, CPA AustraliaAndrew Wright, Treasurer to TRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, The Prince’s Accounting for Sustainability ProjectDr.AngelienKemna, Chief Investment Officer, APG Asset ManagementAron Cramer, President and CEO, Business for Social Responsibility (BSR)Atsushi Saito, President & CEO, Tokyo Stock Exchange Group, IncBarry Melancon, President and Chief Executive Officer, American Institute of Certified Public AccountantsCharles Tilley, Chief Executive, Chartered Institute of Management AccountantsCharles McDonough, Vice President and Controller, The World BankProfessor Dr.ChristophStueckelberger, Executive Director and Founder, GlobethicsDavid Nussbaum, WWF-UK Chief Executive, WWF InternationalDennis Nally, Chairman, PwC InternationalEdward Nusbaum, CEO, Grant Thornton InternationalErik Breen, Member of the Executive Board, EumedionHans Hoogervorst, Chairman of the Board, International Accounting Standards BoardHelen Brand, Chief Executive, Association of Chartered Certified AccountantsHerman Mulder, Chairman, Global Reporting InitiativeHuguette Labelle, Chair, Transparency InternationalKoushikChatterjee, Executive Director and Group-Chief Financial Officer, Tata SteelJean-Charles de Lasteyrie, Vice-President, Fédération des Experts CompatablesEuropéensJim Turley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ernst & YoungLi Yong, Vice Minister of Finance, President of Chinese Institute of Certified Public AccountantsMarco Geovanne Tobias da Silva, Executive Director of Governance and Holdings, PreviMargaret M.

-The Standard & Poor’s stock market index of the top 500 publically traded American companies. -This graph demonstrates that:- In the 1970’s 80% of a company’s market value could be traced through to the financial statements.Today, only around 20% of a company’s market value can be accounted for by its financial and physical assets. Other factors, particularly relationships, intellectual and human capital, make up an increasing proportion of a company’s value. Corporate reporting needs to evolve in order to reflect this change. <IR> enables the clear and concise communication of value creation, allowing investors to evaluate how all relevant factors that a business uses and affects are incorporated.The IIRC are not trying to monetize everything and value a business (which is a common misperception), but rather we are trying to ensure investors have the information they need to assess the ability of an organization to create value over time.
IR not intended to replace existing forms of reporting<IR> draws on financial reporting, as well as other forms of reporting, such as sustainability reporting, management commentary, governance and remuneration reporting, carbon reporting, etc., and other communications, such as analyst calls and the investor relations section of an organization’s website. It draws together information from these other sections as they relate to strategy, governance, performance and prospects, and makes the links and connections between them to provide a clear, coherent, and importantly, concise communication about the ability of the organization to create value.
5. The Framework Feedback received in response to the Consultation Draft will be analysed over the second half of this year and will shape the direction and content of the initial version of the Framework thatwill be released in December 2013. This is why it is critical that we receive feedback from the Consultation Draft.
