Empathic Intervision; A Peer-to-Peer Practice [2nd Ed] - L.W. Niezink & K.J. ...Lidewij Niezink
Leaders and employees agree on the need for empathy in the workplace, yet crucial gaps remain between intentions and implementation. To bridge these gaps, empathy practice in organisations needs to be understood, implemented and studied. In this Ebook we introduce Empathic Intervision, a structured peer-to-peer method to apply empathy in organisation routines. We introduce intervision, combining work and learning, to handle situations, questions and problems with an intent to learn from each other, improve expertise and co-evolve insights and outcomes. We describe how Empathic Intervision supplements the advantages of intervision with five layered empathic capacities: self-empathy, kinesthetic, reflective, imaginative empathy as well as empathic creativity, to aid deeper hearing and understanding and consideration of each other’s perspectives. We contextualize this method within the emergence of practices such as human-centric design, agile self-organizing teams and co-creation with the aim to bridge silos, cross barriers and offer a hands-on practice for organisational development.

When we create a slide deck, we urge clarity. For b5media, they needed to be able to dive into the content shown in their brochure and even expand on this. Rather than pushing all of the info they'd be talking about onto the deck, we used the same theme of brochure, with alternating category colours depending on the topic of the conversation, and subtle informational bullets that would animate on screen during the conversation.

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

3. Group Partners was created to fill a gap. It was born from a frustration
caused by the groundhog day of meetings and the inability to provide or
receive clear briefs. Over the last 10 years we have evolved our Practice
into what we like to call the ‘Pixar of Consulting’.
Our mission is to change the way that
Businesses think and work - and avoid solving
the wrong problems really well.
We have introduced a new and engaging way
to shape the future – through a philosophy
that we call Structured Visual Thinking™
– SVT™. Encouraging thinking this way is
proven to be the difference between success
and failure, innovation and diminishing
value, clarity and confusion.

Organisations are simply not designed for

departments and often conflict
• There are no meaningful or effective

• There are often significant disconnects
between the senior leadership and their
strategy and vision and the ‘day job’
6.
7. Unpacking SVT ™
SVT™ is all about bringing visualization to complex or critical issues –
in a way that enables everyone on the team to understand.
Ensuring that there is structure within these discussions enables logical and important
reasoning. No matter what we are doing in Group Partners we are applying SVT™ and for
our clients that starts from the moment we have our first conversations. The degree to which
we apply the three dimensions can vary but they are always driving the way that we approach
our assignments.
8.
9. There is no deep or hidden meaning behind the three –
they mean exactly what they you might expect:
Structure – without some structure to a challenge and without being about to create
some degree of order from complexity, it is particularly challenging to shape the future. For
us structure primarily takes the form of architectures and frameworks within which we can
develop context. We have developed an approach called 4D™ which we will explain later.
Visual – even for people who wouldn’t class themselves as visual or creative, an image
provides significantly more clarity and meaning than words alone. Visualization brings a subject
to life and removes ambiguity and semantics. There was a time when it was the only form of
communication – telling stories through pictures dates back to the earliest days of man. We
have a very unique approach to visualization.
Thinking – the world that we live in today is not exactly conducive to taking time out to
think, time is becoming too rare a commodity and the result is that we spend most of our
time simply reacting or just ‘doing’. We believe that quality time now and then – especially at
critical times in a businesses lifecycle – pays dividends and should never be underestimated
or undervalued.
It is sometimes quite hard for people to fully appreciate the benefits of this approach until they
actually experience it fully, and we often find it hard ourselves to explain the core principles and
why it is so effective.
Our aim is to achieve simplicity for the client - achieving that is anything but simple!
10.
11. Through this article we
would like to invite you into
our world and share a little
of our passion with you.
12. Applying SVT
™ We have already mentioned that
we apply SVT™ throughout an
assignment. It is used in a number
of ways through a number of roles
within our Practice.
Out of all of the modes of application the
most powerful by far is achieved through
group intervention.
The effect of a getting a group of people
together to have a series of open conversations
about something that unites them (or needs
to unite them) without burdening them with
process, opinions, yet more expert advice is
more than a little liberating. We firmly believe
that bringing in an expert too soon to solve a
challenge clouds the issues and immediately
constrains potential for creating real value
and innovation. At some time expertise will
be required – it is simply that the time for that
has to be when there is real clarity over the
opportunity or challenge.
13. As Lewis Carroll famously said:
If you don’t know where
you are going, any road
will take you there.
– therefore it goes without saying that if you ask an expert what your problem is they will
immediately solve it from within their sphere of expertise.
15. Coming to a workshop unprepared
and without the inevitable slide
decks to present or a declared
method to follow can require a
leap of faith.
For us there is a fine balance between There is a lot more structure and logic to this

considered so that we are not guilty of of the conversations, the insights and
leading the witness ahead of the discussions. observations that will help the team to gain
value from the engagement and equip them
to continue to work on the program after we
have completed our assignment.
Our workshops are fun, highly interactive,
very inclusive and intense. They are meant
for teams who want to have a real say in the
future success of their company; they require
focus, commitment and engagement.
And they work – as long as that
commitment persists beyond
the event.
16.
17. The Science

interpret conversation and
how to make the most of
Behind the complex information is where
we claim expertise.
Approach We have been thinking like this for
many years – for us it is the only way
to think and we spend a significant
amount of time exploring related
philosophies and capturing experiences
so that we keep our approach
continuously evolving and responding
to changes and new insights – our
thinking has to stay relevant to the
world in which we all operate.
18.
19. Introducing
Frameworks
4D™ is framework approach that
underpins 4 steps covering everything
from strategy definition through to
planning implementation.
This is simply a logical sequence of progression and
you will find many variations of this theme – this
one works well in our world and has the benefit of a
governing logic framework supporting each step.
The first thing that we do is to form a concise
statement of the problem that we are trying to solve.
We call this the Exam Question and it will shape and
govern every conversation that we have as a group.
20.
21. The four ‘D’s stand for:
• Discovery
• Development
• Decision
• Deployment
At this point we could dive deeply into the logic behind each framework. As tempting as
that is we have covered that fully in separate publications so will limit our explanation to the
following pages.
25. D1
Discovery – is about building alignment as a team and
uniting against a clearly defined challenge / problem /
opportunity. There are 11 conversations that are governed by
the Discovery Framework and we spend a day in session with
the team to populate it.
The Framework is underpinned by a logic that connects each
module to present a whole systems approach to the outcome.
This is the Business Equation. In Discovery this reads:
By what decision criteria [H] do we decide what value
proposition, story or offer [G] about which mix of product [E]
and/or service [F], gets delivered through which channels [D],
addressing what trend, market issue or point of pain [C], to
which (most valuable) customer segments [B], resolving what
aspiration or need [A]. With what capabilities and behaviors [I],
against what time-line [J] achieving the goals [K] at minimum
risk and maximum return on investment?
26.
27. D2
Development – is about framing our strategy or program
and building the rationale for the business case and
implementation plan. This framework makes sure that we really
are building a program that will deliver the outcomes we want.
There are eight conversations in this framework. We spend two
days with the team to create the first baseline and often work
on multiple iterations.
Development is also supported by its own Business Equation:
To achieve the desired Strategic Outcome; (the ultimate
goal) (H) and deliver the Redefined Conditions (G); (the
measurable effects that result) optimally enabled by the
necessary Governance, Capability and Cultural Environment
Operating Model (F) - what is the planned Roadmap of
Activities and Actions (E), (Action Plan) that will deliver against
the integrated Strategic Themes (D) that themselves are directly
driving the effects in (G) and take the business towards the new
Future Vision (C) based on the Business Imperatives (B) (the
business drivers) which will move the business away from the
Current Reality (A) and fully answer the Exam Question.
28.
29. D3
Decision – is about making sure that we make the best
possible choices regarding how we implement our strategy
and manage the risks and uncertainties. Apart from the
cascading information from the previous two frameworks
there are three new conversations in this step. Decision
sessions can run for three days in extreme cases.
30.
31. D4
Deployment – we only really have one conversation
at this stage – but a hugely significant one that leads to
many subordinate conversations. Deployment is all about
doing whatever we decided we would do to achieve our
vision. This is where it becomes quite appropriate to bring
in experts if the capability is not available internally.

effect in areas like Customer Excellence
where the additional capability also
shares a strong neutral stance.
4. We accredit and licence others to apply
all or parts of our approach using
specially built tools and with appropriate
capability transfer and support.
38.
39. Typical Programs
We establish the most appropriate program for an assignment once
we have a clear brief and have started to shape the Exam Question.
However there are a number of ‘species’ of program that form the basis
of any engagement:
1. Entry level - alignment of teams and creation of strategy
or high level change/transformation programmes
2. Team Engagement - socialisation and engagement of
the enterprise around a new strategy or programme
3. Effective Communications - bringing stories to life
through sophisticated interactive tools that can be
deployed across the enterprise
4. Excellence programmes - unpacking a strategy
or programme to focus on specific areas where
excellence is the ambition - Customer, Operational and
Leadership
5. Making Change Stick - working with our sister company
- Affiniti - to ensure that the vision and programme is
embraced and sustained throughout the enterprise
