This document summarizes a presentation on how experience with cluster policies can inform the development of smart specialization strategies. It outlines three key differences between cluster policies and smart specialization strategies, but also notes important synergies. Specifically, it discusses how existing clusters can provide insights into analyzing regional contexts, ensuring stakeholder participation in governance, constructing a shared vision, identifying priorities, and integrating monitoring and evaluation. The presentation argues that rather than abandoning existing cluster policies, smart specialization strategies should build upon the experiences and assets developed through long-running cluster initiatives.
Module 1: What is Policy? Dima course contentMichael Kenny
This 20 slide presentation What is Policy? is Module 1 of a nine (9) module online course for adult education policy makers and practitioners to complement an innovative toolkit to guide adult education policy and practice.
Participation in adult education varies significantly across states and regions of Europe! Why? Evidence and literature suggests a wide disparity in policy making, programming and implementation skills in the adult education sector across Europe. It is imperative that policy makers and programme managers address this disparity to foster life-long learning for a smart-sustainable Europe (see EU2020 https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/economic-and-fiscal-policy-coordination/eu-economic-governance-monitoring-prevention-correction/european-semester/framework/europe-2020-strategy_en) and to achieve a European target of 15% of the adult population engaged in learning.
In response to this challenge, the ERASMUS+ DIMA project (See https://dima-project.eu/index.php/en/, 2015 to 2017) developed a practical 9 module online course to complement an innovative toolkit to guide adult education policy and practice. The DIMA toolkit (See https://dima-project.eu/index.php/en/toolkit) introduces tools for developing, implementing, and monitoring adult education policies, strategies, and practices.

This presentation describes what we already know about what makes programs more likely to be successful in changing behaviour. Next, it explores the organizational blind spots and human nature which prevent us from making better designs. Finally, it shows how evaluators can guide better program design using standard and emerging methods.

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

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.

2. Motivation for Paper
• Research and Innovation Smart Specialisation Strategies (RIS3)
– A case of theory being very rapidly translated into a policy agenda
THIS HAS SOME CONSEQUENCES
Concept still being explored and refined at the
same time as policy-makers are putting it into use
Facilitates development of theory in practice
rather than linear leap from theory to practice
without ‘proof of concept’ (Cooke, 2007)
Little time to reflect on links with already-
established policy initiatives
Dangers of over-looking the significance of
policy inertia
1.
2.
Interesting &
important
therefore to
explore the
relationship
between RIS3
and cluster
policy
3. 3 Clear Differences …
• Foray et al (2011) warn that a smart specialisation strategy is not
the same thing as cluster policy
• We highlight three clear differences
1. The scale at which the policy is articulated
• Cluster level vs regional level
2. The focus of concern of the policy
• Cooperation for competitiveness broadly vs pursuit of most appropriate
regional investments in STI
3. The policy tools that are employed
• Well defined & established vs process specific & under-developed
4. … but significant synergies
• Both imply forms of cooperation between firms and other agents
working in related/complementary sectors
– They are both systemic policies that require new forms of leadership &
governance (Sugden et al, 2006; Navarro et al, 2012)
• Both are place-specific
– They rely on place-based assets, context and institutions, and are limited in
working across territories
• Both are transformative, requiring processes of prioritization &
selection
– Therefore subject to debate around the appropriate role of government
• Both are characterised by extreme challenges in evaluating the
effectiveness of associated policies
5. Learning from experience with clusters
• Foray et al. acknowledge that “vibrant innovative clusters” are a
“classic outcome” or an “emergent property” of a RIS3
– We suggest that in fact pre-existing clusters and cluster policies in many
cases embody important elements of the entrepreneurial discovery process
that smart specialisation strategies seek to foster
• The paper therefore analyses the relevance of over twenty years of
experience with the long-running Basque cluster policy for the
development of a regional smart specialisation strategy
– A step-by-step approach, following the 6 steps set out in the European
Commission’s Guide to Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart
Specialisation (Foray et al., 2012)

Steps to RIS3 design Contribution from clustering experience
Step 1: Analysis of regional context & innovation
potential
Strategy rooted in regional specificities
Looking beyond regional boundaries
Entrepreneurial dynamics: prospects for a
process of entrepreneurial discovery
Existence of cluster policy and functioning
cluster initiatives can provide a strong basis
for analysis and knowledge about regional
context, through for example existing
diagnostic processes within clusters, cluster
mapping exercises, and in-depth cluster
case analyses
Step 2: Governance to ensure participation &
ownership
“Quadruple helix”
Collaborative leadership
Boundary Spanners
Clusters themselves exhibit a long
experience with ensuring participation and
effective governance, and there is
significant potential to learn from and
improve these governance structures and
processes in the development of RIS3
Step 3: Elaboration of an overall vision for the
future of the region
Constructing the vision: scenarios…
Communicating the vision
The strategic reflection processes of
existing clusters can provide lessons in
constructing common vision, and the
clusters themselves are important vehicles
for construction and communication of a
regional vision

Steps to RIS3 design Contribution from clustering experience
Step 4: Identification of priorities
Combine top-down and bottom up approach
Vertical and horizontal type priorities
Inter-cluster approaches and collaboration
among and between KET actors and
clusters can play an important role in
facilitating the coordination of bottom-up
and top-down input into prioritization
processes
Step 5: Definition of coherent policy mix,
roadmaps and action plan
Experimentation possibilities
Cluster policies have followed a similar
path, and experience shows the
importance of policy flexibility and
mechanisms to ensure sophisticated policy
intelligence
Step 6: Integration of monitoring and evaluation
mechanisms
Monitoring to follow the process of
experimentation
Evolve and adjust according to changes in
economic and framework conditions
Experience with cluster policy evaluation
suggests the importance of mixed
methodologies and a policy learning focus
8. Closing Message
Policy concepts go in and out of fashion:
While policy inertia is not good, it is
important to build from what already
exists in a fluid process, rather than jump
from concept to concept
Clusters and RIS3 are a classic example
