| Article Title :: Help Desk Outsourcing |
| |
| A help desk may mean a lot of different things. Basically, it is a source of technical support for hardware or software which is generally staffed by people who can either directly solve the problem or direct the problem to the appropriate department for action. In some instances, a help desk is a call center that is tasked to handle questions about products and services.
A single point of entry is what often characterizes a help desk. A voice automated help desk telephone system is usually used to allow users to navigate themselves to reach the correct department. Most help desks are external but some large companies are able to maintain their own internal help desk functions. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Management Consultant Discusses Effective Decision Making |
| |
| Making decisions is one of the key functions of senior executives, but really, in any walk of life, and even in the family effective decision making is essential to health, wealth, and overall happiness.Why is it then, that making decisions is a hang-up for so many people, making it one of the leading “hidden causes” of procrastination?One reason is people are often operating in a vacuum of information. The person who knows he needs to have a nasty skin eruption looked into may put off going to a doctor because he doesn’t know where to turn to find a reliable specialist. Usually healthy as a horse, he hasn’t seen a doctor for years, and he doesn’t know where to loo (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Hourly Rates - No Thanks |
| |
| When was the last time you gave a passing thought to your pricing? It’s no secret that how you charge for your services can either make or break you. It can mean the difference between a mediocre and a successful business. In my experience, most people don’t spend enough time thinking strategically about what pricing strategy they should use.The majority of people in service businesses - and especially people who work independently - establish an hourly rate. They use a process called “reverse competition” to determine what their rate should be. This involves taking a look at what your geographical competitors are charging, and deciding where in the range you want to fit on (read full article) |

What could get in the way of success?
How can I minimise the chances of that happening?The principal challenge with traditional business plans lies not in the subject matter or the content, but in their format.The majority of business plans are static documents, comprised of lists a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Are You Making the Most of Your Talent and Resources? |
| |
| I’ve written often on the subject of leadership development and talent management because very few things in business can catalyze change and create sustainable growth like leaders who understand how to leverage their talent and resources. It takes more than charisma and subject matter expertise to be a leader it also takes a keen understanding of how to create organizational leverage.One of the main keys to generating organizational leverage is for C-suite executives and entrepreneurs to know when, where and why to deploy (or redeploy) talent and resources. It has been my experience that it is much easier to recruit talent or acquire resources than it is to properly deploy talen (read full article) |
