| Article Title :: A Better Way To Work - Workplace Democracy |
| |
| Recently, during a discussion with Suman, a co-worker in the car while stuck in a traffic jam on the way to a client meeting in Gurgaon, I shared the vision of transforming Srijan into a company in which all its members collectively manage the growth, direction, etc. In response, Suman said, we already have a good work environment within the company; and why we should think of such measures at all?I tried but could not provide an answer; and asked him to allow me to write down why, as I am better expressed that way. On the way back, I did manage to provide an answer, but decided that I would still write it, to share it across our company and possibly consider publishing it in a s (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Business Basics - Priority Versus Sequence |
| |
| We all know (well I hope we do) that part of being a good leader is in the art of delegation, trust, and looking after the people who look after us (good topic for another article!!!)
BUT who looks after us, how do we look after ourselves?How do we make our job(s) any easier?
Based on the premise that it helps to be reminded occasionally of business basics or best practices, I thought it would be worthwhile to share this snippet with you...
Priority Vs Sequence

| Article Title :: Strategic Organizational Learning |
| |
| The cost of training in North American companies exceeds $60 billion per year. Try to visualize that. Picture a stack of 1,000,000 $1 bills. Now try to picture 60,000 of those stacks. Amazed? Then consider this fact: estimates of training costs worldwide approach a quarter of a trillion dollars ($250,000,000,000) when indirect costs and opportunity costs are included. Do you find those numbers as difficult to comprehend as I do?Understandably, senior executives are concerned about the ROI (return on investment) on these massive investments. Many executives are not convinced that the benefits of training exceed the costs.Corporations are now looking for organizational learnin (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Use "Flex Meetings" To Improve Communication & Increase Productivity |
| |
| Meetings are expensive. The more people at a meeting, and the more time spent the more expensive. That's one reason why meeting planning and management is so important particularly when we've moved to a more team based system of work. Effective meeting management is important for more than just the basic cost issues. If meetings are unnecessary, or unwieldy, people at the meetings get bored, frustrated, and start to find ways of avoiding attending.There's an interesting way of managing meetings so that they are less wasteful of time, and less likely to engender frustration on the part of those attending. Before I tell you about the "flex meeting", here are some basic principles: (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Are Your HR Hiring Policies Strangling Your Company's Economic Survival? |
| |
| If you walk the streets of some towns, you can almost always pick the people who work for certain employers. It may be my weird sense of humour, but each time I see one of these people, I imagine the Human Resource officers squeezing the new hire into a machine that plunks the person into a mould and then squeezes and scrapes away the parts that don't fit. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that a good organizational match between employee and company is wrong. What I am saying is that when there is too much "fit," there isn't enough diversity to foster creativity. And creativity, as we all know, is a driving force in business survival and superiority.But how do we recognize a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Rescuing concrete floors from holes and adhesives |
| |
| As companies attempt to retrofit floor spaces and walls, carpeting and vinyl tile are often removed or repositioned. These renovations usually end up exposing large areas of adhesives, underlayments, and
sprawling holes from anchors, studding, and equipment. Now there is a solution with step by step instructions and help.
Remodelers often can see no alternative but to reinstall similar adhesives and floor coverings like carpet and tile. This is unfortunate because hard epoxy, urethane, and glass emulsion surfaces offer less expensive and longer wearing alternatives.
If concrete is exposed to wear, it will eventually deteriorate. Friction wear, erosion, and con (read full article) |
