While most corporate finance organizations say they are highly committed to moving to global standards, more than half are failing to see success in this area, according to new research from The Hackett Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCKT). Over the past two years, minimal improvements have occurred at typical companies, and most dramatically underestimate the commitment required to execute on this key finance strategy and achieve true transformation, The Hackett Group's research found.
The new findings are drawn from The Hackett Group's 2013 Global Finance Organization Model Study. In order to affect change, The Hackett Group's research recommends that companies more effectively prioritize transformation projects, create teams dedicated to change, and focus on developing the skills required to support a globalized operating model.
"There's no question that finance has many important projects to undertake in order to provide higher value to the business," said The Hackett Group Finance Executive Advisory Program Global Practice Leader Tom Willman. "But their attention is getting divided, and the hoped-for gains in areas such as implementing global standards still haven't materialized to any significant degree. Today, most companies are once again targeting comprehensive transformation in this area over the next few years. But it's tough to imagine they'll succeed unless they can change the way they prioritize and resource their transformation efforts."
The Hackett Group's research showed that across seven major dimensions of the finance service delivery model, there is a high level of ambition for change. "Companies have told us that they hope to more than double their adoption of global standards for KPIs & reporting, technology platforms, master data and process design/build," said The Hackett Group Senior Research Director Lynne Schneider. "The re-emergence of internal finance transformation groups shows that finance executives are making a commitment to transform. Nearly all of the companies that participated in our study have secured finance transformation/business improvement capabilities within the company."
However, The Hackett Group's research shows clearly that most companies have failed to meet transformation goals in this area. For example, at the end of 2011, 42 percent of finance functions said they planned to have predominantly global standards for master data over the next two to three years, but more than half said they did not actually achieve that goal by 2013. Companies are hoping to double their use of global standards for master data over the next two to three years, moving from 19 percent today to a target of 38 percent.
Over the next two to three years, the most frequently cited areas for transformation in The Hackett Group's study are: planning and performance management and business analysis; and process improvement and function management. Within planning and performance management and business analysis companies are largely focused on three areas: driving improvements in the timeliness of the planning and forecasting; accuracy and responsiveness of planning, budgeting and forecasting processes; and the provision of timely, highly relevant management information and analysis to drive better business decisions. Within process improvement and function management, companies are focused on the transition to a customer-focused finance organization that delivers a comprehensive and consistent service portfolio while implementing the capabilities and resources required to drive transformation and continuous improvement of those services.
Addressing Skills Gaps - A Key to Successful Transformation
The research found that for transformation efforts to succeed, companies must address skills gaps and talent issues. The Hackett Group found that companies are planning to make substantial investments in HR management practices within finance over the next two to three years to address several key staffing issues. Most are focusing on expanding learning and development programs, both to close skills gaps and improve executive development. Many are taking into account the fact that a global HR infrastructure will allow them to acquire staff with the skills they need regardless of their location. Companies are also seeing the balance of finance hiring changing, as hiring continues to slow in advanced economies, with a greater emphasis on the need for specialist skills.
A related and serious talent-related challenge stems from the disappearance of the traditional development path for finance professionals, the research found. Today, entry-level positions are predominantly located halfway around the world from corporate headquarters. In addition, some of the most sought-after skills associated with finance transformation are seeing high demand combined with difficulty to attract or retain. Change management and process improvement, high-level tax expertise, and the ability to think and act strategically are all among the skills that fall into this category.
Recommendations - Prioritize, Dedicate Resources, Add Skills
The Hackett Group recommends that in order for finance organizations to make their high ambitions for global standards a reality, they need to effectively prioritize their projects and desired goals in a clearly defined and communicated roadmap, dedicate adequate resources to change, and add or develop the skills it needs to support the increasingly globalizing operating model of the business. Teams of dedicated resources are essential for driving these large transformations, as opposed to individuals who work on these initiatives in addition to their "day jobs," the research found. Addressing the skill and talent gaps associated with the change will be absolutely critical in ensuring that plans are executed effectively and that the gains from the transformation are achieved and sustained into the future. The potential payoff for success in this area is significant. The Hackett Group's research shows that world-class finance organizations operate at about half the cost of typical companies, while achieving higher effectiveness.

As enterprises around the world struggle with their digital transformation efforts, many are finding that innovative digital teams are moving much faster than their hidebound IT organizations. Rather than struggling to convince traditional IT to get with the digital program, executives are taking advice from IT research firm Gartner, and encouraging existing IT to continue in their desultory ways. However, many CIOs are realizing the dangers of following Gartner's advice. The central challenge ...

World leaders gather for COP 18 to negotiate Kyoto Protocol phase two and Green Climate Fund
The 18th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will take place from Monday, 26 November to Friday, 7 December 2012 at the Qatar National Convention Centre in Doha, Qatar.
The Doha Summit faces a number of significant challenges, including the need to extend the Kyoto Protocol before it lapses at the end of the year and the requirement for diplomats to agree a roadmap for delivering a new legally-binding climate change treaty that can be agreed by 2015 and brought into effect from 2020.
The talks will also focus on working out a new roadmap for the future of the Long-term Cooperative Action (LCA) working group, which is focused on climate funding, adaptation, and technology transfer mechanisms.

Home > Press > SEMATECH Reports Major Advances in EUV Resist Development
SEMATECH engineers and resist suppliers demonstrate
CAR platforms that support 22 nm introduction
SEMATECH engineers, working closely with researchers from major resist suppliers, have demonstrated chemically amplified EUV resist (CAR) platforms that support 22 nm half-pitch resolution and are close to resolving sub 20 nm half-pitch features. These significant advances are critical in moving forward the infrastructure that will prepare extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) for high volume manufacturing at 22 nm half-pitch.
Resist suppliers and SEMATECH evaluated resist platforms with results demonstrating 22 nm half-pitch resolution, favorable photospeed (15 mJ/ cm2) and line width roughness (LWR) with 5-6 nm. Although LWR is still higher than the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors specification, it is expected that resist post processing and etch processes are likely to bring down LWR to a value that is acceptable on the device level for early adopters in DRAM and/or Flash applications.
"These results mark a cornerstone in the development of EUV lithography. They represent the first real 22 nm resist data, building confidence for EUV as a viable technology for 22 nm half-pitch lithography," said John Warlaumont, vice president of advanced technology at SEMATECH. "Partnering with resist suppliers to accelerate resist cycles of learning has been critical to bringing EUV resist readiness to this point, where EUV resists can now support 22 nm half-pitch imaging. The combination of SEMATECH and resist supplier expertise has been an indispensable asset in conducting this important advanced research."
Over the past year, significant advances in EUV resists have been enabled by SEMATECH's EUV Resist Test Center (RTC) in Albany, NY, through its two micro-exposure tools (METs) located at the University at Albany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering and University of California at Berkeley. SEMATECH's METs have been critical in helping the industry break the 35 nm half-pitch resolution barrier in 2006. Through SEMATECH's EUV resist development program, engineers and resist suppliers subsequently made significant progress to improve resist resolution down to 26-28 nm half-pitch; now they have demonstrated 22 nm half-pitch resolution.
Chawon Koh, SEMATECH's EUV resist process engineer and resist expert leading the joint evaluation of resist platforms with resist suppliers, commented, "This achievement was deemed to be impossible by leading resist experts only a few years ago. Resist suppliers have made excellent progress in improving EUV resist resolution, thanks to access to the METs which provide the highest resolution available worldwide among EUV optical imaging systems."
"The focus of SEMATECH's EUV resist development program is to engineer current CAR platforms to realize 22 nm high pitch introduction and provide a fundamental understanding of EUV resist exposure mechanisms to develop new platforms," said Stefan Wurm, program manager, EUV at SEMATECH. "We believe this two-pronged approach will drive resist development to the highest level and support EUVL introduction."

Perfect city hotelPosted Apr 3, 2016
I was there for a total of 9 days with my daughter. This hotel has the perfect location, walking distance from a lot of city sights & Long street. Right across from the beautiful company's gardens. We felt safe in this area also due to security guards being on every corner of Long street. Free wifi, clean rooms, breakfast and restaurant were ok, amazing staff from doorman to receptionist (exceptional) , housekeeping to waitresses ( very helpful with everything). I would definitely come back to this hotel & would totally recommend it to others.

Close to tourist information and banks. The staff were wonderful, the hotel is quiet and the room was comfortable. Not much of a pool though - very small. Parking is across the street in a parade for 55 rand per day and is very secure with staff on site.

Lovely hotelPosted Mar 1, 2016
Pros: We chose a room at the front of the hotel with views of Table Mountain. It was really lovely and clean and spacious.
Location: Easy to get to Camps Bay, the V&A, Hout Bay, Table Mountain And good bus service to take you around and about
The evening meals were fab, we didn't stay in for lunch, the chef will cook you something off the menu if you like. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Good choice of breakfast including full English although they don't cook sausages and bacon the same as we do. We used the hotel as a base to sight see and go to the beach at Camps bay. The hop on hop off bus service was very good and as we became more accustomed to our surroundings we even got the local bus. Taxis are very cheap and easy to find. We stayed for 10 nights and there is so much to see and do we did very little. I would say not to go to Table Mountain if there are any clouds even if it is open because you cannot see any of the views. There are some great restaurants everywhere and we never had a bad meal. Obviously you have to be very careful in Long Street and Green Park areas and we wouldn't go there after 6 pm. Saying that everyone we met was pleasant even the beggars wished a good day even if you didn't give them any money.

Cozy hotelPosted Feb 1, 2016
Me and my friend really enjoyed our stay in this hotel , nothing to complain about really, allocation is perfect, next to the famous Long street, breakfast variety was big, staff was helpful and friendly, the only thing is that the lift was broken in our last day so we had to carry our suit cases all of way from the 4th floor but guess if we would ask staff to send someone to help us it wouldn't be an issue at all.

Dear Kristina Thank you so much for reviewing your recent stay with us! We really appreciate your kind comments and are so glad that you had a good time with us. We are currently replacing our "very old" elevators with brand new, green efficiency OTIS lifts. Each lift takes approximately 9 weeks to completely replace from start to finish. These lifts are being replaced one at a time – leaving one elevator ALWAYS working. Assuring that we do not disrupt our guest stay or inconvenience them in any way. It seems that it did disrupt you, however, and for that we are really sorry. We would have definitely assisted you with your luggage :) Please come and visit us again - we loved having you here with us! Warm regards, Jess and the Hollow Team

Pabst office building to break ground in October
Gorman & Co. is moving forward with its plans to develop a five-story office building at the former Pabst brewery, and plans to begin construction by Oct. 1, a company executive said Thursday.
Oregon, Wis.-based Gorman plans to develop the 60,000-square-foot building north of W. Juneau Ave., at N. 11th St., just west of where the developer is renovating the former Pabst brew house into the Brew House Inn & Suites.
Gorman will target firms that want to be near the Milwaukee County Courthouse, said Ted Matkom, Gorman's general counsel. The idea is to provide lower-cost space that includes conference rooms and other amenities shared by the building's tenants.
Gorman has had discussions with prospective tenants, but doesn't yet have any signed leases, he said.
The $11 million office building will be the latest in a series of new developments at the Pabst site, now known as The Brewery. Among them are the Brew House Inn, a 90-room extended-stay hotel, which opens in November; the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Public Health, which opened this summer; and the 48-unit Brewery Point Apartments, which opens in March.
The office building, which will have 88 underground and first floor enclosed parking spaces, will take about a year to build, Matkom told me. He said Gorman might delay its construction start until April, but the plan is to begin by October.
The plan will be reviewed Monday by the city Plan Commission.
Gorman raised the funds from Chinese investors through the federal government's EB-5 program. That's the same method Gorman used to finance the Brew House Inn.
The EB-5 program allows a foreign citizen to obtain a U.S. residency visa by investing at least $500,000 in a U.S. project or business that creates 10 jobs. The two-year visa can be converted into a green card, which provides permanent U.S. residency privileges to the investor, the investor's spouse and children.

Editorial: Among the "challenges" the Government acknowledges in our latest slide in maths, science and reading, compared to the OECD average, should be an honest re-examination of its own policies and processes.
Though we still perform above average, the slippage recorded in the latest Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) study of 15-year-olds is striking and accelerating.
After years of relatively static performance, it's been a bad trajectory since the early 2000s, with the biggest drop occurring since 2009.
Education Minister Hekia Parata stands well, well back for her perspective. She says the decline reflects long-standing system issues to which the tested 15-year-olds have been particularly exposed.
Damage done, apparently, during the bedding of a new curriculum, a combination of rising teacher numbers but under-investment in raising their practice, and some pretty poor school cultures.
It is unconvincing to portray this as an example of these 15-year-olds reaping what previous administrations have sewn.
Already the call has issued from Massey University that the Government should reconsider NCEA, which Professor John O'Neill says allows students to narrow their options early in their secondary careers, when a much broader approach is still needed.
The PPTA says secondary schools are funded less per student than most other OECD countries and this has finally caught up with us. The NZEI complains of time lost satisfying the Government's voracious appetite for "unnecessary and irrelevant data"'.
National Standards can't be blamed. That was a good initiative. There needs to be a standard against which parents can compare how their children, and teachers are performing.
In any case, National Standards are still so new that the system didn't capture the 15-year-olds most recently studied.
It needs to be said that although Pisa tests do have international status as a significant indicator, that doesn't make them a supremely authoritive arbiter of international performance.
For one thing, there's suspicion some countries are ensuring that only their better performers are tested, to improve that country's overall educational prestige and attract more of those fees-paying foreign students.
Pisa's chief architect, Andreas Schleicher, says New Zealand still has a strongly performing educational system with a lot of resilience in it. But even so, other countries, chiefly Asian, are making progress we aren't matching.
And it comes, he says, not from focussing on increasing spending, thanks very much PPTA, but from the ability to target the most talented educators into the most challenging classrooms.
The Pisa line is that even improved education of teachers is a lesser part of the solution than changing the "administrative" forms of school management to more collaborative "professional" models.
The single greatest concern for New Zealand is not so much that we have dropped ranking places in total - from 13th to 23rd in maths, seventh to 18th in science and seventh to 13th in reading - but that we have such a strikingly big, and worsening, gap between our best and worst performing students.
The impact of wider social and economic issues, and their impact on the home environment stands starkly exposed in this.
Perhaps the most shaming aspect of New Zealand education, is that our kids who come to school from the more hard-up backgrounds are significantly less likely to do well in maths than the OECD average.

Computer Modeling of Circular Peripheral Feed, Peripheral Overflow Secondary Clarifiers
Abstract:The fully mass conservative (FMC) clarifier model based on computational fluid dynamic theory combined with solids flux theory was used to provide a full and accurate picture of the hydraulic and solids regimes within secondary peripheral-feed, peripheral-overflow clarifiers. The model was first applied to an existing clarifier to verify the reliability of model predictions using field data for prediction of a slightly larger basin. Sensitivity tests were run to predict the effects of SVI, flow rate, MLSS, tank depth and skirt baffle depth. Major modeling results include effluent suspended solids, sludge draw-off concentration and solids inventory.

BASE jumpers take death-defying, record-breaking leap off Burj Khalifa
I had a skydiver-boyfriend once who wanted to take up BASE jumping.
There's a reason why we're not together anymore.
Well, several reasons, really, but one was because he was crazy.
About as cray-cray as these two dudes who BASE jumped from the top of Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the highest building in the world.
Skydive Dubai sponsored world champion BASE jumpers Vince Reffet and Fred Fugen in their attempt to break the world record for highest BASE jump.
The Burj Khalifa is about twice the size of the Empire State Building in New York City, but if that wasn't enough, an extra platform measuring 500 feet high had to build ON TOP of the world's tallest building, in order to break the record — an astounding 2,717 feet.
Now, I've admittedly gone skydiving once before — once — but this?? No no no no no no no no no no no.

Super great! They provided very helpful directions to the hostel. The hostel is near supermarkets, arcades, restaurants, temples and everything you could ever want. Super fun area! It's not a Ryoken though, despite it's name. Super points to the lovely staff who fetched a little toasting oven which they had replaced during our stay with a regular toaster after we mourned its loss. Great place.

Kindergarten students at Storm Lake Elementary have been given the opportunity to partner with sister classrooms or schools in another country, allowing for those students to gain the global perspective necessary for success in the 21st century, thanks to a $5,000 grant - Sharing the Dream - that the school received from the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) Foundation and MetLife Foundation.
Juli Kwikkel, Storm Lake Elementary Principal, is among 25 principals from across the nation who was awarded the grant.
Sixteen Acer net books were purchased, two for each kindergarten classroom to use.
The title of the grant, "Using Technology to Reach the Corners of the World" is allowing SL kindergartners to share cultures by taking and sending pictures, videos, various language activities and even talking via Skype.
It has not been as easy as they had thought to locate partners - mostly due to the time differences - but the teachers will continue their search. One teacher that has been successful is Deb Mortensen who located a kindergarten class in Penticton, British Columbia, that wanted to partner with her SL class. The students have all had a hand in preparing power points for their Canadian friends and have enjoyed hearing back from them.
With nearly the same number of students in the two classes, the students have been paired up and each has had the opportunity to send messages to their "pen pals" via their computers.
On Tuesday, the students were able to see each other - live - for the first time through Skype - a new piece of technology for not only the students but for their teacher as well!
Their visit was cut short due to a poor connection but they will try again and continue with the power points.
This has been a wonderful experience in many ways for these Storm Lake students. Though there is great diversity in the school, there are currently no students from Canada.
The experience has also lent to the students' geography lesson as well as writing skills.
The students have also compared flags, sports, foods and even jobs between the two countries.
"I am so excited," said Mortensen. "We have so many cultures but this has brought one to the forefront. While we are finding out about a different place, we are also finding out we all have families that love us and schools that want the best education for us. I know this relationship will continue - but with new kids next year."
Kathy Bowman's class has been corresponding with a class in China but due to the time differences they will not be able to Skype; they have have shared many power points.
The other kindergarten teachers are still looking into locating partners.
But until then, the kindergarten student are enjoying their computer time and are becoming very proficient at operating them - another goal completed.
