June 27: Tax opportunities for startups and scale-ups together with BDO Nederland at Noviotech Campus. We will address the following with Bernard de Vree: - What are the advantages and disadvantages of different business structures?  - How to gain and maintain control over complex issues with conflicting interests? A great tool for this is the Innovation Control Framework developed by BDO. What if an investor approaches you, will they participate in the entire company or just a part of it? How does that work? And what is their role? What if you need extra help, do you hire employees or work with freelancers? And last but not least: what are the tax consequences of an exit and what is being sold or not sold?

What to do – and not do – to secure an Effective and Inclusive Board for your organisation: - What is best practice in testing and developing Board effectiveness? - What is Best practice in test and improving Board inclusion? - What are the ‘no ‘go’s’ when it comes to testing and developing Boad effectiveness? To answer these key questions, participating Board Chairs and Non-Executive Directors added their insights to data collected from the MU BoardScan™.

🚨 France 2040: The Critical Path Ahead The latest report from the Fondation Jean Jaurès - Jean Jaurès Stiftung - Jean Jaurès foundation - Jean Jaurès Stichting reveals unsettling yet crucial insights about our potential future. Two Potential Futures: 🤝🏽🌍 Alpha Future: A society that prioritizes collective well-being, cohesion, and protection of the vulnerable. Here, political authorities play a pivotal role in curbing inequality and moderating economic influence. 💸🔗 Omega Future: A society dominated by market forces and money, where the state is powerless, and inequality spirals into fragmentation and overreliance on unsustainable technology. I made my choice. Key Takeaways: 🙌🏻 Collective Action is Essential: Our future is not set in stone. We still have the power to shape it through decisive collective action. 🌟 💔 Embracing Sobriety: The concept of living with less is challenging, yet it’s crucial for bridging societal divides. Sobriety isn't about regression; it's about reconnecting with what truly matters—relationships, passions, and nature. 🍃 ⚡ Adaptation & Mitigation: You can’t pick one or the others, both are interlinked now, and we need to address them both. 🌍 Climate Debate Evolution: The conversation has shifted from questioning the reality of climate change (it’s real!) to debating the urgency of action versus a gradual transition. We can’t afford delays given the accelerating damage to ecosystems. ⏳🔥 It’s not just about what we do, but how we do it. And the choices we make today will shape not just the next 20 years, but the generations to come. 👇 Report below cc daphni #ClimateAction #France2040 #Sustainability #FutureIsNow

WHAT BUSINESS CAN (STILL) LEARN FROM THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT AI SCANDAL The learnings from the Dutch Government AI scandal were foundational to the #EUAIAct, and set an irreversible course of action to create #ResponsibleAI development and deployment practices. The issues highlighted in this case arose from the development of an AI system using machine learning techniques, pre-Gen AI, with the intention of combatting fraud in the child welfare system, but: ➖the development of the system lacked an overall strategy and policy ➖the system learned from poor quality biased data ➖there were no risk assessments ➖there was no transparency regarding it use ➖the staff couldn't challenge unexplainable decisions ➖there was no training to improve AI literacy ➖continual harms couldn't be stopped because there was no meaningful human oversight ➖the teams were incentivised to use the system to generate fines and deliver a return on investment (ROI) The unintended consequences seriously impacted the rights of countless families and led to the resignation of the Dutch Government. AI systems can learn and adapt which means they doesn't always work as intended. A different approach to the development and use of AI is therefore crucial. Learning from the scandal, businesses can achieve the maximum benefits without catastrophic reputational impact and stakeholder harms, if they institute: ✔️ strategic AI policies which set out the purpose of the AI systems which are monitored throughout their lifecycle ✔️ company wide and stakeholder commitment to risk assessment and mitigation, which can be achieved through ISO/IEC 42001 ✔️ leadership from a board who are equipped to understand the difference in the risk profile between regular software and AI systems ✔️ and more beyond Read our article to learn how we correlate the Dutch scandal learnings with Responsible AI practices for the greatest business benefits. #AI #ISOIEC42001 #EthicalAI #AiStrategy #AIRisk #risk #bs9347 #ISOIEC5259 #Retail #CNI #Aviation #SecurityIndustry #Education #FinancialServices #Hospitality https://lnkd.in/ep44kkBf

Hey entrepreneur! Did you know that a solid financial plan helps you gain better insights into the future of your business? 💡 A financial plan consists of three main elements: 1️⃣ P&L: A projection of revenue, costs, and profit. 2️⃣ Balance sheet: An overview of assets and liabilities. 3️⃣ Cash flow statement: A detailed overview of incoming and outgoing euros. Together, these components provide a clear picture of how your business may evolve and what’s needed for its growth. A professional financial plan is crucial for building trust with investors. A professional financial plan starts by defining your strategy and helps estimate the necessary funding. It’s an essential tool to fully understand and unlock the potential of your business. 💼 We can assist you in creating a professional financial plan. Plus, as a registered service provider, you can benefit from the 'KMO-portefeuille', allowing you to access a valuable subsidy. 💡 Feel free to contact us at www.cfo-as-a-service.be for more information! #financialplan #cashflow #investors #strategy #CFOasAService
