English to Italian: Schema audit - parte introduttiva General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Finance (general)
Source text - English The XXX audit scheme describes the audit and certification process for XXX franchisees.
The goal of the XXX audit scheme is to ensure that XX franchisees are in compliance with the XXX minimum standard criteria which define consistent service quality, brand protection, high operational performance and impact measurement.
Franchisees which are in compliance with the XXX minimum standard receive the XXX certificate.
Compliance is determined by how well XXX minimum standard criteria are being met. The evaluation process is based on evidence gathering, which is called audit. The audit will be performed on-site to gather evidence through observation and interviews and to check documented processes and procedures. The XXX audit scheme supports continual improvement for franchisees by having audits on annual basis.
XXX franchisees are audited by an external auditor to be in compliance with audit principles stating that auditors must be objective, impartial and independent.
Translation - Italian Lo schema di audit di XXX descrive il processo di controllo e certificazione per gli associati in franchising di XXX.
Lo scopo dello schema di controllo di XXX è quello di assicurare che gli associati in franchising siano conformi ai criteri standard minimi che definiscono una costante qualità del servizio, la difesa del marchio, un’alta performance operativa e la valutazione degli effetti prodotti da questi ultimi.
Gli associati in franchising che vengono ritenuti in conformità con i criteri standard minimi ricevono la certificazione XXX.
La conformità è determinata dal modo in cui i criteri standard minimi vengono applicati. Il processo di valutazione è basato su una raccolta di evidenze che è definita audit. L’audit si svolgerà sul campo per raccogliere prove attraverso l’osservazione e i colloqui e per controllare processi documentati e procedure. Lo schema di verifica di XXX favorisce un progressivo miglioramento per gli associati, attraverso verifiche annuali.
Gli associati di XXX in franchising sono valutati da un auditor esterno, per essere in conformità con il principio secondo cui gli esaminatori devono essere oggettivi, imparziali e indipendenti.
English to Italian: Educational draft General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Education / Pedagogy
Source text - English Description of the activity: Visitors will pose for a picture that will depict something very different to the reality in a movie set.
Materials: Horizontal building set with city at the “bottom”, photographic camera, video with cinematographic scenes of (preferably) old movies depicting people “about to fall” from the top of a building (I’m thinking of Hitchcock’s “Vertigo”).
Realization: Visitors will watch a small clip of some movie scenes as described in the Materials section. After that, they will be taken to the horizontal building, where they will simulate to be falling of the building, but actually resting on the side of it. There will be a wall for pictures with the best performances.
Possible reflections about the activity: Cinematographic tricks, the role of the stunts, scenes in movies we think they’re real but they’re not…
Translation - Italian Descrizione dell’attività: I partecipanti poseranno per una fotografia che rappresenterà qualcosa di molto diverso dalla realtà, come sul set di un film.
Materiali: Allestimento di un edificio in orizzontale con la città “in fondo”, macchina fotografica, video con scene di (preferibilmente) vecchi film, che presentino persone in situazioni in cui “stanno per cadere” dalla cima di un edificio (sto pensando a “La donna che visse due volte” di Hitchock).
Realizzazione: I partecipanti vedranno un breve inserto filmato tratto da scene di film come quelle della sezione “Materiali”. Successivamente, saranno accompagnati all’edificio orizzontale, dove fingeranno di cadere, rimanendo in realtà ben poggiati alla sua superficie. Ci sarà una mostra di immagini delle migliori performance.
Possibili riflessioni sull’attività svolta: Trucchi cinematografici, ruolo di certi espedienti, scene, nei film, che riteniamo vere, ma che in realtà non lo sono…
English to Italian: Approccio analitico di XXX (Report) General field: Bus/Financial
Source text - English XXX is committed to the principle of ‘action evaluation’, which conceives of evaluation not merely as a passive assessment activity, but rather as an intervention driving continuous improvement.
Unlike traditional evaluation, which tends to take place at the end of a project, action evaluation insights are channelled into a project as it progresses, enabling on-the-fly adjustments and improvement. This approach to impact or benefit realisation (rather than just impact or benefit recording) is the hallmark of all of XXX’s evaluation output.
XXX's action evaluation was focused on the following:
We wanted to determine the aspects of YYY that are effective. This will enable YYY to consolidate and build on existing areas of good practice in each of the current YYY sites, as well as understand how the best bits of the YYY model could be replicated and sustained in other cities around the world
Translation - Italian XXX si riconduce al principio di “action evaluation”, ovvero di “valutazione attiva”, che cioè concepisce l’analisi non solo come un’attività di giudizio meramente passiva, ma piuttosto come un vero e proprio intervento che conduca ad un continuo miglioramento.
Infatti, diversamente da un tipo di analisi tradizionale, che si tende ad attuare verso la fine di un progetto, la capacità di comprensione della valutazione attiva prende in considerazione un processo nel suo svolgimento, permettendo adattamenti e migliorie “al volo”. Questo approccio volto alla realizzazione di un effetto (piuttosto che ad un semplice prenderne nota) è la caratteristica che contraddistingue i risultati dell’analisi condotta da XXX.
La valutazione attiva di XXX si è orientata verso i seguenti obiettivi:
Abbiamo voluto stabilire esattamente quali aspetti di YYY abbiano portato a risultati positivi. Questo permetterà a YYY di consolidarsi e di ampliare quei settori che funzionano particolarmente bene in ogni attuale sede di YYY , così come permetterà di capire come le migliori parti del modello di YYY possano essere ripetute e confermate in altre città in tutto il mondo
