The upgrading of workforce skills is key to the competitiveness of SMEs. In today’s business environment there is a premium on innovation that enables firms to develop new products and services, new production processes and new business models. This requires both in-house innovation and the ability to absorb knowledge from other firms and organisations, both of which call for a skilled labour force. Skills are also a critical but understated resource for entrepreneurship seen in the sense of business creation. Similarly to workforce skills, entrepreneurship skills will boost the competitiveness of local businesses thanks to the improved strategic and management competences of the entrepreneur.
This presentation introduces the concept of entrepreneurship as a solution to ending poverty as well as the Bootstrap Bootcamp Entrepreneurship Training Program.

Understanding barriers to youth entrepreneurship as a career choice for youth...Masum Hussain
People say this is the age of business as it is backed by sophisticated technologies, blessed by loads of relevant information. & in this business age the young people are leading from the front as entrepreneurs. Wherever you go from Silicon Valley to Middle East young talents are making significant marks in creating new businesses even sometime more efficiently than the older experienced people. Think of Mark Zukerbourgh, or Michael Yung, they are shaking the world with their innovational business ventures, & people like them are at speed in growing. Different studies provide proof that the young people are the greatest contributors in the arena of business.
Sylhet is a division & a major city of North Eastern area of Bangladesh. This city is rapidly growing than the other cities of this country because of her peoples increasing purchasing power as the area is booming with business projects, a lots of liquid money is in the hands of the peoples as a result of remittance provided by the people living abroad. As we know many people of this area lives in different wealthy country of the world mainly in the United Kingdom (as we know in London there is a town named ‘ Bangla Town’ mainly inhabited by the Sylheties) & middle east many families have enough money in hand almost all the time.

Mowgli recently held a Mowgli Jam, quarterly get together between mentors and entrepreneurs, in Dubai where Tony Bury, Mowgli's Founder, shared his thoughts on why mentoring is so important, especially for entrepreneurs and why it it is so important for the MENA region.

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.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Editor's Notes
Animation- appear on clicks
Unemployment rates are slowly decreasing over time, but too slowly (International Labour Organisation 2011 Unemployment Trends Report) and the global economic crisis will probably reverse this trend
MENA has the largest % of human capital in the public sector outside Sub-Saharan Africa.

To preview, you have to click on the video and then on the tab at the top that says ‘playback’ then ‘play’ When you give the presentation, it should start once you click.
Put in separate slide:“Roughly 5,000 medium to large family firms exist in the Middle East, with net assets totaling USD600 billion. These companies constitute 75% of the private sector economy and employ 70% of the labor force in the GCC region. “More than 80% of entrepreneurs in the MENA region have very small-scale operations, with enterprise value of less than US$ 15,000. “Family-owned businesses are the backbone of the global economy. They are considered to be the oldest and most prevalent form of business organizations worldwide. According to the Family Firm Institute, family-owned businesses’ contribution to the global GDP is nearly 70–90% per year. “““Family owned companies play a massive part in GCC economies: They account for roughly 40% of the region's non-oil GDP and 50% of private sector employment”“More than 80 per cent of businesses in the Middle East are family-run or family-owned, with an estimated $1 trillion expected to be handed down to the next generation within the upcoming five to ten years, and with family businesses controlling over 90 per cent of commercial activity in the region, as opposed to 65 to 80 per cent in other parts of the world. So the dynamic and effect of their progression and development is huge.”
Optional: This slide can be used to explain the Heroes’ Journey. This concept explains how an entrepreneur’s life often begins with an opportunity or a call to change, and that a mentor’s help and support is crucial in facing and conquering the storms which lie ahead. The Hero’s Journey will occur more than once in the course of your life as an entrepreneur.
