Last year, I devoted my posts to business and IT (information management minus the technology). The new year, will be on both of those topics and again, I will reiterate the rich subject of ethics. Many of you may find that devoting a portion of your business thought to ethics, is hardly supportive to making money. On the contrary, it is all about money. Yet, one fact remains crystal clear for

Let's talk about those clients that you gain through attrition, luck and being in the right place at the right time. I have experienced all of these but this one is for you. This is a story about a place I once worked in. I respected most of all the excellent worker's but as you read, I cannot stand blind ignorance. I suppose you'll understand, at least, I hope you can follow along. It's mostly

You can either do, any of your business, as unscrupulously as you want or do it using an effective bell-weather, SOME FOLKS call ethics.You can be paid large fees for 'stuff' you don't deliver and call that 'just doing business', or you can have accountability. Which is it for you?This is not meant to preach, 'I told you so', or spy as a predator on your own close dealings, but more so as my 'out

I've posted this because I find it to be VERY interesting; The research and findings from BM are stupendous and a warm - special thanks to Moon Kim for his introduction.I can only reply with a hopeful thrust that myopic IT deficient visionaries are taught to dead-end. Perhaps, we as IT pupils should understand that it is in our best interests by being more expansive, thinking globally,

For sometime now, I have pondered and considered the hierarchal personality and its ability to learn on its own; the inherent value which is produced by such a structure, hence the name silo or smoke-stack management. Not a pretty sight and a bad structure to be under. We've all tasted a bit of this tragedy which continues unfortunately, today.My technologist abilities and eagerness to architect

Have you truly wondered or taken the time to adjust your schedules so as to provide needed energy to family; loved ones, brother's, sister's, mother's, father's - have you?Take your energy for business-only to find that unexpectedly you die, have a heart-attack or an anxiety collapse.

That's how my music career started out: The Black guy in the middle asked me to come sing with them for an Air Force competition on base. Frankly, I liked to dance back then and never really considered myself singing...I was seventeen then, 1962. This picture is taken at that competition on Mountain Home, AFB Idaho.I don't remember the names, except one-the guy's name in the middle is A/2c

China is posed to overtake the American economy by being more American than America. Clearly, this is disguised as a friendly merger, but what lies at the heart is planning. The article I refer to, is the fact that China is buying American energy companies. America plans out as far as 15 to 20 years. China plans 50 to 100 year strategic maneuvers. It is now exercising it's plan.The article states

This article is not placed here to show you the politicos, politics about the subject and title, but to show you, that as a business, there are obviously many major failed points to recall.Senior Management has failed because they themselves are not in compliance, first, with Governance policy and their responsibilities to care about divisions which include its people and welfare.

…the continuance and inaction of higher management, not dealing with issues, volunteered up from experienced lower echelon managers, which are real issues, only creates a more divisive divide within the company, which actually strengthens a person or group needing reprimand.

It is absolutely true...Astonishing as it sounds, there are those that continue to hold firm to old, dead processes: like burning money, while the other hand is trying to keep it.You cannot show 'em, nor do they want to know. You cannot explain it, because they do not want to listen.They are too busy trying to get more profits. Hell, what is fixed costs, anyway? Arn't they knowing enough to know

Project Management and Processess-most of us use it, understand it, but many of us do not do it any justice.Case study: Project Managers assigned to Construction sites, (Doesn't really know what to do).Communication: Many down-hill don't get the messages.Promises made-promises broken.Costs that eat away at profits are now mounting-but who cares-it is a tangible equation and monetararily damaging

...yes it's still around and is the standard way of doing business. In fact, the common belief to save money by not recognizing savings within technology is mind-boggling, frustrating and down-right full of risk.Let me try to explain:A firm does business with pen and pencil.

It is a fact...There are those amongst us that will continue to focus on the comfortable details which has always been easy to understand.What men and women who have started their companies, continue to think in details as though they were doing task work: when the focus has now changed to larger views, strategic visions, if you will, that fall short-real short of their goals.Unfortunately, the
