Research that pinpoints a correlation between the earnings stability of large multinational corporations and their ability to manage physical plant and other property-related risks
Greater awareness in recent years of the volatility of the risk environment, together with the regulatory impetus provided by
corporate governance requirements, has placed effective risk management high on the corporate agenda. Changing attitudes
to risk management have also resulted in the emergence of a more holistic and proactive approach to managing exposures.
1. Learn about the evolving role of the chief risk officer (CRO) both before and during the current global economic crisis.

3. Discover strategies and critical success factors for an effective CRO and CAE partnership.
Successfully Managing Emergency Operations in a Distributed EnvironmentMissionMode
Many organizations treat a crisis as a series of tactical issues affecting operational silos, rather than reviewing the needs of the crisis response at the organizational and strategic level.
Trying to fit a crisis response into existing organizational boundaries and operations can be like hammering a square peg into a round hole. Organizations need a strategic view of crisis management that encompasses the whole enterprise.
The authors of this white paper examine how to create that strategic view while reducing threats and deriving value from the distributed nature of the organization.
Topics include:
• Selling the program
• Organizing the structure
• Program Flexibility
• Making a Crisis Mundane

With the recent economic downturn, many companies are increasing their focus on cost improvement to increase shareholder returns. Corporate real estate can play a major role in cost management initiatives as it is typically the 2nd or 3rd largest operating cost in many organizations. Strategic real estate cost optimization opportunities can be identified and achieved quickly through a combination of:
• Spend analysis
• Portfolio optimization
• Organizational structure redesign
• Process improvement
Most organizations have explored the “low hanging fruit”, or those activities that require minimal effort and provide low impact and benefit. However real estate and facilities operations can partner more closely with internal customers and other enabling functions to tackle more challenging initiatives, resulting in more significant cost savings opportunities.
This issue of Deloitte\'s Capital and Real Estate Transformation (CRET) Quarterly provides insight into the real estate considerations that should be an integral part of any Enterprise Cost Management program. We discuss an approach to real estate and facilities cost optimization activities, identify some common real estate cost reduction initiatives and outline some symptoms that may indicate an organization should explore a more comprehensive real estate cost management program.

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.

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.
