Many people may not be too aware of 'who' CISCO Systems [1] is. Today, there's a very good chance that 90% of your internet is delivered by a collection of CISCO products. In a recent interview with McKinsey Quarterly [1], John Chambers outlines his view on expansion and dealing with expansion in good- and lean- times. Something he explains very well is the simple formula that lets

There's an aphorism that, 'there's no strategy without execution'. The challenge is that if you haven't done it before, or at least had some practice some place then 'execution' is probably what you did before following the new "objective(s)" with "a plan". I don't think that "strategy" is a plan; in the best light objectives and a would be a project. And speaking from a background in a

Last week was an interesting week for me personally. Let us say that it revolved around a lack of agreement around a point of customer service. In typical fashion, we were left with the service provider holding ground, and the service consumer [me] needing to either swallow the lumpy parts or escape the contract. I escaped the contract, and the service provider will continue to be "right".

I saw the story about Tesco's new IT infrastructure project[1]. My comment isn't about the project, because with 20+ years with ITC, this idea makes a lot of sense to me. “Virtualisation…helps Tesco provide a better service to its customers. “Virtualisation is key to providing a cost-effective, efficient and future-proofed data centre, and XenServer has been key to helping Tesco achieve its

Here's a link to a video of a recent interview from Sir Nicholas Stern with McKinsey’s Matt Hirschland. Connecting Climate Change and Economic Recovery Economist Nicholas Stern discusses the downturn and its effect on the climate change agenda (March, 2009 [1]). Two thousand and nine is a crucially important year. We are in the middle, I hope it’s the middle, of one of the worst economic

Firstly, I have a little disclosure. I was a trained guide with the NSW National Parks for 16 years. Well before, sitting at the back of my first university macro economics class, the thought struck me that constant economic growth seemed unsustainable. My lecturer set me right, people can sing for me, I pay money, that is also economic growth. Back in those days, sometimes you couldn't see

Did I tell you about, Albert Einstein? He said, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

Welcome ... What do I mean by the title, your customer's ecology? That's a good question, because my comment stems from a customer value or customer service perspective.

Welcome ... The title for this post is from "Finding Neverland" (Miramax, 2004) where the character, Mrs Snow, speaks of her departed husband. If you missed the film, I recommend hiring the DVD, it is a story about the beauty of dreams and creation of futures. I was about to write this note to you when the ticking crocodile struck me as a most appropriate heading for the following tale: "On a

Good evening. I've come to consider the notions of "holographic" and "holistic". Often these notions are used together. Are they actually complete opposites? Of course at the same time they relate to each other as well. Holographic gives itself the idea that the whole is contained, or reflected, in every part. A holographic universe suggests that the smallest grain of sand reflects the whole of

Welcome back ... I'm pleased to see you again. You know I love it when you visit because it means my keystrokes are interesting, useful and/or passing thoughts out to others as well as stimulating thought and practice. This post takes a longer view. It marks a series of short posts for Curious Words. We were reminded of the article, "Eight Words to Live By" by Brad Web at this month's nhjc

Hi friend, Good to greet you again. I recently came across a fun web site called "Reincarnation Station" via stumbleUpon. I found it fun and also surprisingly provocative. Here's the thing, it seems I have a good chance to return as a gorilla. This is a thing I hadn't imagined, or thought upon before. Not in a specific sense. The notion can have a compelling influence on your world view. If

Hi Reader ... You are well of course, I trust. I came across the quote in our heading recently and on the face of it I thought it speaks for itself. Later, I wondered to myself, if everyone sees things the same way? People talk about customer service and customer relationships. You might sum up both of those elements by replacing the word "friendship" below with "your customer" "Friendship [

Hi friend, All the finest wishes and seasonal greetings and prosperity to you ... When was the last time you had a busy week, a long day or even just a busy, energy charged afternoon? I wonder how you felt afterwards? Did you feel satisfied, tired, ready to put your feet up and take well earned rest, ... ? Some, following an active cycle, are keen & ready for the next round. Sometimes you

Welcome back friend, One way to work on how you will increase your affluence is to increase the affluence of those around you. Who or where are the successful people and organisations in the world? What is the purpose they are serving? Think of an example. Microsoft(tm) is a company that aims to improve and magnify your personal and business capability. It provides tools that can be used

Hi and welcome along !! What is this idea of Adroit Process about? I am assuming that is why you are here, or that you are simply curious. Read on, the answers are below. Benefits: The old saying goes, people don't plan to fail, they fail to plan. Adroit means direct. The benefit here is that each action contributes to the final outcome. Each dollar goes to the end-product, result or

Good morning, good evening, good night ... The first Tuesday of November is significant for at least two reasons. Americans know that the first Tuesday in November is election day. In Australia the country pauses to find the result of one of the world's premier horse races, the Melbourne Cup. Thus on the first Tuesday of November two countries have a significant interest in a race result.

Wishing you another great day ... "Consensus" is when a group of people agree to a common point, idea, action, etc. Literally "common thought". A personal consensus is when a person, you are aligned with your success. I'm often challenged about definitions for "success". As a success coach, it seems mandatory to you that I know this. I agree, you can think that way. I feel that only one

Hi there friend, Welcome back. This is a very short note following on from the "all that is not respect..." post. "... empowerment cannot be given. It can only surface after what you take away." (Nader 2000) I'm thinking that speaks for itself. We are all born with 'powers'. The word 'empowerment' implies that some how we have some of these 'powers' eroded over time between birth and now.

Hi to you all. I know you are well, because you are reading this blog. It is not the place you might come to get a quick fix, or mental viagra. The intention is to put a few models that I know work, and to stimulate some interest in what will one day be. There are trends in the world that must come. Not because I wish it, though many probably do wish for a better world for our children and

Good morning . . . How many of your friends will remind you about the statistics for business start-ups? Vaguely speaking the line-up tends to follow the idea that from a hundred operations, 50 will make it three years and 20 (say) will make it past five years. I'm sure there are a number of things to be said on this, everyone has a theory explaining 'common lore'. I'll leave that for the

Good afternoon . . . This is something that we need to expand on. Organisations begin as small-medium organisations (under 300 people). Start-up operations have a few things in common and one of those is a reduced or non-existent access to capital (funds and resources). This means is you must know where the money is coming from for each month for the first three years. Why? Then, if you do not,

Good morning . . . This is a side bar (as they say) pointing those who have not yet read the poems of C.J. Dennis at "The Glugs of Gosh". In this case good ol' Den's comments . . . "Then every Glug went home to rest With his head in a bag and his toes to the west; For they knew it was best, Since their grandpas slept with their toes to the west." -- Dennis (1917) There are a few
