Collaborative Processes Sample Clauses

Collaborative Processes. Collaborative processes are intended to help the City and Forest Service develop and institutionalize mechanisms for improving the quality and effectiveness of communication between the parties and with the public. As actions envisioned in this Agreement are planned, each agency will take on new roles and responsibilities and during the initial five years in particular, the structure provided by these collaborative processes will help facilitate the necessary transitions.

Collaborative Processes. Consider expansion of models already in place such as the countywide “liaison committees” and continuous improvement teams for special edu- cation, pupil services, media specialists, ESOL, and speech language pathologists.
Collaborative Processes. With the audience connected to the business, and employees and customers connected to each other, knowledge begins to fl ow along pathways that prior to the widespread adoption of social technologies were not always seen as primary to the operation of a business. The high degree of connectivity and the ease with which consumers, business partners, and other stakeholders can talk about brands, products, and services is (overall) a benefi cial thing-long term, it leads to better products and services. But it also raises a challenge: What does the head of a marketing group-or for that matter a lone operations manager-do with the sometimes massive amounts of information and ideas that customers willingly offer? Connecting the new fl ows of consumer-generated information with the units inside the business that might benefi t from it is, to put it simply, hard to do, for a number of reasons beginning with the required changes to the internal modes (regimented channels) of communication that exist in many businesses. Add to that the additional workload of managing customer input gathered through social technologies: It’s that old that goes “My day was going great until the customers started showing up.” It’s hard to accept input when you’re already fully loaded, yet (and especially in lean times) that’s exactly where most businesses really want to operate: smaller numbers of employees, each of whom is fully tasked. The successful adoption of social technologies in business is, therefore, as much about strategy and results as it is about process and efficiency: getting a smaller number of people to produce better products, faster, for example. Not coincidentally, it is by collaboration-internally- and by working in cross-functional teams and accepting customers as a key part of the business that a solution emerges. Collaboration has the potential to bring better solutions to the market faster, partly by the enhanced synergies and partly by the efficiency of avoided missteps resulting when customers are brought into the design process earlier. A big part of what is driving the adoption of social technologies across businesses, therefore, has to do first with knowledge extraction and collaboration, and second with putting it to use inside the organization.

  • Commercialization Intrexon shall have the right to develop and Commercialize the Reverted Products itself or with one or more Third Parties, and shall have the right, without obligation to Fibrocell, to take any such actions in connection with such activities as Intrexon (or its designee), at its discretion, deems appropriate.

  • Development and Commercialization Subject to Sections 4.6 and 4.7, Fibrocell shall be solely responsible for the development and Commercialization of Fibrocell Products and Improved Products. Fibrocell shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with the Fibroblast Program except that Intrexon shall be responsible for the following: (a) costs of establishing manufacturing capabilities and facilities in connection with Intrexon’s manufacturing obligation under Section 4.6 (provided, however, that Intrexon may include an allocable portion of such costs, through depreciation and amortization, when calculating the Fully Loaded Cost of manufacturing a Fibrocell Product, to the extent such allocation, depreciation, and amortization is permitted by US GAAP, it being recognized that the majority of non-facilities scale-up costs cannot be capitalized and amortized under US GAAP); (b) costs of basic research with respect to the Intrexon Channel Technology and Intrexon Materials (i.e., platform improvements) but, for clarity, excluding research described in Section 4.7 or research requested by the JSC for the development of a Fibrocell Product or an Improved Product (which research costs shall be reimbursed by Fibrocell); (c) [*****]; and (d) costs of filing, prosecution and maintenance of Intrexon Patents. The costs encompassed within subsection (a) above shall include the scale-up of Intrexon Materials and related active pharmaceutical ingredients for clinical trials and Commercialization of Fibrocell Products undertaken pursuant to Section 4.6, which shall be at Intrexon’s cost whether it elects to conduct such efforts internally or through Third Party contractors retained by either Intrexon or Fibrocell (with Intrexon’s consent).

  • Research Collaboration Upon FibroGen’s request, the Parties will discuss conducting a research program funded by AstraZeneca and directed toward franchise enhancement and lifecycle management for HIF Compounds or other topics that the Parties determine relevant to the Products and the Field. Upon agreement on the terms of such research program, the Parties will enter into a separate agreement or amend this Agreement accordingly.

  • Research Program 2.1 University will use reasonable efforts to conduct the Research Program described in Attachment A which is hereby incorporated in full by reference (“Research Program”), and will furnish the facilities necessary to carry out said Research Program. The Research Program will be under the direction of _____________________ (“Principal Investigator”), or his or her successor as mutually agreed to by the Parties and will be con­ducted by the Principal Investigator at the University.

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.
