General Approach. The parties will strive to achieve on-going performance improvement. They will follow a proactive, collaborative and responsive approach to performance management and improvement. Either party may request a meeting at any time. The parties will use their best efforts to meet as soon as possible following a request.
General Approach. The ACP States shall determine the development principles, strategies and models of their economies and societies in all sovereignty. They shall establish, with the Community, the cooperation programmes provided for under this Agreement. However, the parties recognise the complementary role of and potential for contributions by non-State actors, ACP national parliaments and local decentralised authorities to the development process, particularly at the national and regional levels. To this end, under the conditions laid down in this Agreement, non-State actors, ACP national parliaments and local decentralised authorities, shall, where appropriate: – be informed and involved in consultation on cooperation policies and strategies, on priorities for cooperation especially in areas that concern or directly affect them, and on the political dialogue; – be provided with capacity-building support in critical areas in order to reinforce the capabilities of these actors, particularly as regards organisation and representation, and the establishment of consultation mechanisms including channels of communication and dialogue, and to promote strategic alliances. Non-State actors and local decentralised authorities shall, where appropriate: – be provided with financial resources, under the conditions laid down in this Agreement in order to support local development processes; – be involved in the implementation of cooperation projects and programmes in areas that concern them or where these actors have a comparative advantage.".

General Approach. The nature of the strategy being developed drives our approach. We understand the unique nature of each project and recognize that our ability to develop solutions and strategies from our broad experience is part of what qualifies us to serve the State under this proposed contract. By approaching each project as an opportunity to collaborate with the State, we ensure stakeholder voices are heard and use the experience of State personnel to build our specific approach. Our CPAs and other consultants each have their own industry specializations and expertise, and our exceptional results begin by assembling the best team to meet your specific needs. By combining our skilled project managers and visionaries with our subject matter experts, we ensure technical expertise is embedded at every step of the project. While we can, and do, subcontract with third parties when specific technical expertise outside of our employee base is needed, we are much more than a firm of project managers. We facilitate meetings, interview personnel, and brainstorm internally about areas for potential process and strategic improvement. The project is planned in consultation with client personnel and specific milestones and deliverables are established. We assign our personnel and work through the agreed-upon milestones, providing regular updates to the client based on the desires of the contracting party. When obstacles are encountered, we work around them where possible or consult promptly with the client to find the best path forward. We gain a detailed understanding of the regulatory and/or statutory environment within which the client operates and conduct our own research into the potential obstacles facing the strategy being developed. Having xxxxx discussions about opportunities to improve current management strategies helps us design procedures and recommendations to address known “issues” and deliver a better product. Our emphasis on quality benefits our State clients greatly. Written reports by THF are subjected to an internal independent quality control review. Having an experienced, senior professional who is otherwise unaffiliated with the project review the report helps ensure our approach was sound, our findings and recommended strategies are clear, and all reporting requirements have been met. Client review of our “draft” findings and recommendations is another key element of our typical approach. Under this approach, State clients are better able to take ownership of...
General Approach. With the exception of “protects”, as set out above, lay-offs shall be in order of seniority within the disciplines. The Company recognizes its enhanced obligation to employees who have served for extended periods. Pursuant to this enhanced obligation, employees with at least twenty (20) years of service with the Company will be entitled to up to six (6) months training (formal and/or informal) to allow them to displace more junior employees whom they would not otherwise be qualified to displace. The training will be provided in the discipline determined by the Company, in consultation with the employee. If an employee chooses not to be trained, they will be subject to lay- off. The Joint Lay-off Committee will review all such cases. The Parties recognize that employees are deemed proficient in one discipline in accordance with the Discipline Inventory System. For clarity, it is understood that an employee selected for layoff from the Company shall not have the right to displace another employee outside of their recognized discipline.
General Approach. After review of existing literature and previous survey steps several interviews with experts in the area of higher education and university business cooperation experts were implemented. On this basis further elaboration of the approach has been conducted including i) description of particularities of the key purpose of the survey, ii) sampling and road map completions, iii) guidelines for survey implementation and iv) finalisation of the questionnaire. The initial goals of the survey, reflected in the current version of the questionnaire, are related to the following three questions:
General Approach. A. Major demolition activities, including placement of equipment, shall be confined to areas where soils have been previously disturbed by activities, such as site development, construction, surface grading, landscaping, utility trenching, etc. The applicant shall identify areas of obvious soil disturbance and direct their contractor to work within these areas.
General Approach. The general approach taken in this model lease is to specify exactly what is to be put on the building in question – typically a cell (or wireless internet) antenna – such that the property owner’s reasonable expectations are met, with changes only allowed with the owner’s written approval. Thus the model lease specifies that the antennas can only be used for cellular (or wireless internet) service and requires that the antennas and equipment enclosure comply with the engineering drawings that are to be attached to the lease as Exhibit B, as well as any photo simulations of the antennas in place (Exhibit D to the lease) that have been provided. This helps prevent the property owner from being told that the antennas will be of a certain type, shape, and color so as to blend with the existing building and be unobtrusive antennas and ending up with something different. By contrast, the first drafts of leases offered by cell companies typically have no restrictions, such that they might claim they could put any type of radio station, TV or communications antennas or antennas on the property in question, and not harmonize with the building, contrary to the property owner’s expectations. Comments on other specific provisions are as follows.
General Approach. With the exception of “protects”, as set out above, lay-offs shall be in order of seniority within the skill categories. The Company recognizes its enhanced obligation to employees who have served for extended periods. Pursuant to this enhanced obligation, employees with at least twenty (20) years of service with the Company will be entitled to up to six (6) months training (formal and/or informal) to allow them to displace more junior employees whom they would not otherwise be qualified to displace. The training will be provided in the skill category determined by the Company, in consultation with the employee. If an employee chooses not to be trained, they will be subject to lay-off. The Joint Lay-off Committee will review all such cases. The Parties recognize that employees are deemed proficient in one (the primary skill) and possibly more (secondary skill) skill categories in accordance with the Skills Inventory System. An employee displaced in their primary skill category will displace an employee in their secondary skill category provided they have the requisite secondary skill seniority as per the Skills Inventory System.
