## Challenge Characteristics

Challenges work on real business issues and the exploration of new strategic business opportunities
Challenges are focused on important and complex problems for which there are no known solutions and that require creativity and innovation to solve. Ideal action learning projects are those that are significant, urgent, attainable and valued by the agency.
If the sponsor already has a specific solution for the problem, the team would only be able to serve as an implementation task force rather than the learning experience it is intended to be.

### Business Challenges

Business challenges are issues that are without a clear and obvious solution. They are provided and sponsored by top leadership. They are almost always in the form of challenging dilemmas that demand clarification, exploration, and analysis. They are usually strategic in nature and bold in scope because these tend to be the nature of issues at Board level. Examples are: o How to enter emerging markets where there are growth opportunities o How to accelerate growth in mature markets o What are some key future trends and how do we respond o How do we stimulate innovation? o What are some critical elements that we need to consider for our strategic and sustainable growth?

# Business Process Management and Automation in Project Management
## Project Description

To improve the return on investment for all activities undertaken within any organization is a fundamental concern to everyone involved. This means that every entity must look beyond meeting the expectations of the current task at hand. They must also be looking forward to what value to the activity will bring to the organization as a whole. Doing so ensures not only the success of the organization and project, but also increases the likelihood of receiving funding and support for future endeavors.
To this end Project Managers, and in larger organizations the Project Management Office, have become integral parts to many initiatives. The leadership skills, industry specific experience and knowledge, and understanding of effective project management these entities bring have enabled projects to successfully come in on time, on budget, and as outlined.
But now the question arises : How does an organization improve upon the activities of the Project Manager and the Project Management Office? The answer lies within the field of Business Process Management and Automation. More specifically, these organizations need to undertake activities to optimize their existing business processes surrounding their project management methodology, and adapt these processes to new organizational needs.
The goal of this project is to outline to any organization the opportunity they have to improve their return on investment from projects through the application of Business Process Management and Automation techniques within their project management environment. Through the analysis of the PMI : Project Management Body of Knowledge, steps will be outlined in detail on how organizations can improve not only individual projects, but overall organizational performance as well.

# Business Law

Commercial law or business law is the body of law which governs business and commerce and is often considered to be a branch of civil law and deals both with issues of private law and public law. Commercial law regulates corporate contracts, hiring practices, and the manufacture and sales of consumer goods. Many countries have adopted civil codes which contain comprehensive statements of their commercial law. In the United States, commercial law is the province of both the Congress under its power to regulate interstate commerce, and the states under their police power. Efforts have been made to create a unified body of commercial law in the US: the most successful of these attempts has resulted in the general adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code.
Business Law is also known as Commercial law or corporate law, is the body of law that applies to the rights, relations, and conduct of persons and businesses engaged in commerce, merchandising, trade, and sales. It is often considered to be a branch of civil law and deals with issues of both private law and public law. The word ‘Law’ has been derived from the Teutonic word ‘Lag, which means ‘definite’. On this basis Law can be defined as a definite rule of conduct and human relations. It also means a uniform rule of conduct which is applicable equally to all the people of the State. Law prescribes and regulates general conditions of human activity in the state.
Various regulatory schemes control how commerce is conducted, privacy laws, safety laws (i.e. OSHA in the United States) food and drug laws are some examples.

## Contract Law
### Formation

Usually a contract forms when one person makes an offer and another person accepts it by performing the offer's terms or communicating their approval. Furthermore, if the terms are certain, and the two people can be presumed from their behavior and actions to have intended that the terms are binding, then the agreement is (generally) enforceable.
Some contracts, for example, the sale of land, or other particularly large transactions, also require the formalities of signatures and witnesses (sometimes in the form of a deed). English Contract Law requires all people, known as ‘parties’, to bring something of value, known as ‘consideration’, to a bargain as a precondition to enforce it.

### Content of a Contract

The terms in a contractual agreement are incorporated through definitive promises by reference to other terms or through a course of dealing between two people. English Contract Law allows plenty of freedom for people to agree the terms and content of a deal.
Contract Law is at its best when an agreement is performed and resorting to the courts is never needed because each party knows their rights and duties (for example, a shareholder agreement).

## Hypotheses

* A1BG is not transcribed by any angiotensinogen core promoter element.
# Gene transcriptions/Elements/Downstream TFIIB recognitions

The downstream B recognition element designated as the BRE$^d$, or dBRE, is an additional core promoter element that occurs downstream of the TATA box and is recognized by general transcription factor II B.

## Consensus sequences

A consensus sequence is 5'-A/G-T-A/G/T-G/T-G/T-G/T-G/T-3' or in the transcription direction on the template strand 3'-A/G-T-A/G/T-G/T-G/T-G/T-G/T-5'.

## Eukaryote genes

Of 140 promoters from the eukaryotic promoter database, "[S]ix percent ... [contain] at least six out of seven bases of the consensus sequence, 18% contain at least five of seven bases and 37% contain at least four of seven".

## Human genes

GeneID: 9555 H2A histone family, member Y (H2AFY) "contains a poor TATA element, but both a consensus Inr and DPE in addition to a six/seven match BRE$^d$."

## General transcription factor II Bs

A TFIIB recognition element (BRE) functions to determine the orientation of the TFIIB-TBP-TATA complex that projects the zinc ribbon of TFIIB toward the TSS.
General transcription factor II B can recognize two distinct sequence elements that flank the TATA box. "The selected sequences contain a strong representation of [ guanine (G) and thymine (T)] bases and a striking preference against [ adenine (A)] (especially between bases -17 and -20)."
"[T]here are ... some weakly conserved features including the TFIIB-Recognition Element (BRE), approximately 5 nucleotides upstream (BRE$^u$) and 5 nucleotides downstream (BRE$^d$) of the TATA box."
The TFIIB-DNA contact with the BRE$^d$ takes place via the minor groove, while that with the upstream B recognition element (BRE$^u$) takes place through the major groove.

## Transcription start sites

dBRE is cis-TATA box, between the TATA box and the Inr or transcription start site (TSS) and trans-TSS.

## Hypotheses

* The dBRE is not involved in the transcription of A1BG.
