Atricle Dump - Choice Theory - Comprehensive Decisions 4 Your QCL Productivity
I called Domino’s Pizza the other night as I was watching the USC-Notre Dame game on the tube.Expecting to get exactly what I had purchased twice during the past three weeks, I quickly dialed the phone and recited my order:“I’ll have the three medium pizzas with unlimited ingredients. Here’s how I’d like them. Two with triple mushrooms, and one with double pepperoni, and a single serving of mushrooms, onion, and beef, please.”“We can’t do that,” the voice responded flatly.“Why, not?” I shot back. “What’s the problem?”“You can’t double one ingredient. They have to be different ingredients,” he claimed.“You must be in MANAGEMENT, am I right?” I challenged, knowing only a dumb bureaucrat could e

A Knowledge@Wharton article based on joint research with the Harvard Business School says now may be the time to re-evaluate the corporate efficacy of process management and tailor them to the right applications. Studies show that misapplied process management can hinder companies and dull innovation. "In the appropriate setting, process management activities can help companies improve efficiency, but the risk is that you misapply these programs, in particular in areas where people are supposed to be innovative," notes Mary Benner–management professor at Wharton.Process management methodologies focused on continuous improvement such as TQM (the work of Dr. Deming), surfaced in the 1980s in the US after the Japanese adopted it
Here’s the QCL- Quick Check List
1 Calm analysis - look ahead, think about your choices
2 Get facts straight - make sure information is reliable
3 Clarify your list - what do you need to accomplish
4 Prioritize time - follow through and complete
How do you make decisions? If this is a challenge for you, consider this. Knowing what to do and doing it are two totally different things. But if your decisions are based on facts rather that thoughts or opinions and you prioritize according to importance or urgency, you have a much better chance of getting it right. Think inclusive, by not leaving anything out that relates to each particular situation.
* Start by writing down what you need to accomplish.
Here’s a page from my life. It’s 10am on Tuesday in
California and I have a proposal to complete by the end
of today for a client. I need to discuss compatibility
issues and products with the Sound Engineer working at
the studio and verify pricing and availability with

Winning and high-performing companies share the belief that their core asset is the people who have the knowledge, skill and experience. Maximizing the value of those core assets is key to business success. It takes the form of the strategy to acquire, retain, measure, manage and leveraging on the strengths of their people. It is no longer true that people are the key assets of the company. It is the good people that are the key assets and give life and vitality to the organisation. Bad people are the liabilities that spell death and trouble.Competitors can catch up on core competencies. Benchmarking and reengineering may put them on the cutting edge. But only dedicated individuals can continuously produce new,

There are many governmental jobs that are advertised almost every day through every medium, ranging from newspapers, to television and radio and even the Internet. This is because there are millions of government jobs that are available every time in the nation. However, there is one major problem that often comes to notice whilst relating to government job descriptions. This is that most government job descriptions are vague and not to the point. Besides this, they sometimes advertise for requirements that far exceed the actual needs of the job.The reason for bulking up the qualification in job advertising is simple: while the government wants to fill a managerial level position, they would advertise for it and seek the quali

It is often said by both Federal and State regulatory bodies, which monitor and enforce franchising that they are there to protect the consumer and Franchise Buyers. But, is what the Federal and State regulatory bodies doing really helping consumers?Over disclosure and over regulation in franchising is costly to Franchisors and therefore these costs are passed on to the franchisees or consumers and thus it hurts them, rather than helping them. Higher costs, the mean lower sales for the Franchisor as well.This takes away the economies of scale that franchising companies are known for which makes the business model so great in the first place. You see, nothing the government does helps the consumer, it never has it is a f

Do you know someone with a passion to write and a yearning to be successful, but not exactly overflowing with cash?Do you have a friend with a fledgling writing business that needs publicity, a writer with articles to be published, but a name still to be made in the industry?Here's your chance to help that someone out. You may not be able to promise them publishing contracts, or shower them with money to have them write your memoirs, but you can assist in getting their marketing train out of the station. Whether your contacts are business or personal they are all contacts and part of an extended, often global, network of people your writer friend would otherwise not be able to reach.1.

Think about what information you need to proceed and
consider the amount of time it takes to complete.

4 Call West coast manufacturers, follow same procedures
5 Consolidate information, start proposal
6 Overnight shipping and installation are separate line items
7 Double check your numbers, make sure totals are correct
8 Email proposal to client
9 Call to make sure they received the email
10 Ask for decision.
This example works in any type of business or personal situation. The more things you think about before you start the project, the more effective you are with your time and money. Say you need to paint the den so it can be turned into your new office. Decide what you need to accomplish and what you need to buy. Start with the list and prioritize the essential items, and work it until complete. There’s no sense running in circles because you forgot something or making three phone calls when you could have completed it with one. The idea is to work smart, not hard.
Having a plan B for back up, provides for the unexpected. Thi
