| |
| How to Establish a Goal-Centered Management SystemThe start of a new year is an ideal time to rethink what you want to achieve in your business this year. It’s true to say that small and medium businesses must be proactive about creating their future. Without this, things just seem to “happen” without your control. A management system that is “goals-centred” is one tool that the small business can use to craft their future. This is a system of deciding what you are going to do everyday based on the goals you are working toward.It sounds simple enough, but the research clearly shows that most small businesses don’t set goals – at all. The goal set (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How Well do Employers Really Know What Their Staff Want? |
| |

Sounds easy, but any employer will tell you that these activities take up the most time and have the biggest impact on business results. So how do you go about retaining the good people once you’ve found them?Understanding what your employees want from a workplace sounds like a logical place to start. After all, if you know what your employees are after, you simply need to provide it and all will be well.

| Article Title :: Adopting a Business Process Approach to Management - 6 Critical Steps |
| |
| 1. Determine Who Are Your Customers and Stakeholders, and What Benefits Your Organisation Offers Them

The first step is therefore clearly determining who those customers and stakeholders are. Who buys or uses your product or service offering? Who makes the buying decision? What exactly are they buying in terms of benefits? Who else is affected by your activities and what are their expectations?A small pharmaceutical manufacturer of multivitamins, antibiotics, syrups and OTC medicines for children, located in a large African city, was trying to answer th (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Turn Chaos Into Quality -- Starting Today |
| |
| Unless you start doing “it” today, all the quality checks in the world won’t save your company from a major stumble. As a quality manager, I like to imagine that if everybody does their job and quality is high at every stage in the production process, I’ll enjoy a smooth operation and get satisfied customers as a result. But experience has taught me that a mean spirit can infect and poison the work place when people don’t watch what they say.Mean comments by coworkers about managers, snide asides about other employees, managers who gossip about recently terminated employees, supervisors who don’t communicate managements intentions, unnecessary secrets, and people who ju (read full article) |

| Have the courage to say no. When companies are faced with a major problem, such as something that makes a strategic customer start making angry phone calls, there is a lot of pressure to do something and do it quickly. If you are the designated problem-solver in such a situation, there’s a good chance you’ll be asked to do the impossible.If you believe the problem as defined can’t be solved in the time-frame allowed or with the resources available, your best option is to say so right away.

| Article Title :: Create Better Decisions: Whose Decision Is It? |
| |
| As clients meet with me to discuss leadership, inevitably the conversation turns to decision-making. Making decisions is one of the most taxing job responsibilities that leaders have. In my experience, leaders suffer more than they should because they make too many decisions. Too often, they fail to ask, “Whose decision is it?” or “Who is the decider?”
When leaders take the burden of responsibility too far, they either want to protect others from making tough decisions or they want to extend their power. The result is often poor decision-making because these leaders do not have sufficient information. And the team members who should have made the decision do not gain val (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Master Archival Data Storage |
| |
| You’ve seen it. Management operating on data overloads; stacks of printed data falling off the desk, overflowing the file cabinets, and running down the stairs of the office data storage rooms. What to do with the data? Critical information is lost. Knowledge that could be of great help to the general population is unavailable, growing moldy and dusty on some executive’s desk waiting for approval. Or worse, created in mega bundles of bits and lost in compound directories with the wrong label, stored for infinity in a malfunctioning system of neglect.Retrieval of hard copy data is simple; have a file with each client’s name, and their data goes in that hard copy file.
