    Purchase Order Financing Basics
    Let’s say that your business suddenly gets a big order from your best client. However, it is an order that is clearly too big for you. What would you do? If your business has a good banking relationship perhaps you may be able to tap into a line of credit or a bank loan. But what happens if your business is small or new and you have no banking relationship? Do you turn the customer away? Fortunately, you don’t have to. Purchase order (PO) financing may be able to help you secure the s

    Finding the Right Career in the Entertainment Industry
    There are many people who think they may enjoy a career in the entertainment industry. However, most do not actually realize how many different jobs are available in this industry. A career in entertainment can be very exciting, and you do not have to be an actor to have a successful career in this industry. When you are considering careers, you want to pick the one best suited to you, so it is important that you understand the various career options that the entertainment industry has to offer s
    Much of the literature and advice on implementing business change focuses on knowing where you are going and making sure that you understand and communicate a consistent vision of the future. Indeed, I have looked at the importance of this in an earlier article in this series. This month’s article, however, looks at the past and its often under-estimated importance in implementing change.

    Clean sheets and blue skies

    Business change projects tend to begin with a “visioning exercise”, to determine where the organisation is going and what its objectives are. The output of this exercise is used as a guide to determine the changes that need to be made. Much is made of “starting with a clean sheet” or the clich?d “blue-sky thinking”.

    Chocolate Chip Cookies and What They Are Telling Us
    Ok, so admittedly, I am sitting here taking a little breather and eating my 4th, or is it 10th (?) chocolate chip cookie of the day. It’s not quite as enjoyable as the first, but I know I will eat it anyway. Oh, you ask, “Why is it not as good as the first?” Well, it is because this one can’t be rationalized away – this one is just plain over-the-top, filled with guilt, packed with pain and too much of a good thing.Well, now that we are all clear on my addiction of choice. Let’s look a

    Take Your Company or Career International
    We’re in the age of globalization, so if your company is not selling it’s products in the international marketplace you’re missing major opportunities and ultimately you may not remain competitive in North America.I spent the first 15 years of my career building and leading international sales and marketing organizations in Europe, Latin America, and the Far East. It was some of the most rewarding work I ever did. What was my preparation for that career? Well, I had a keen interest in o

    Don’t know how to sell yourself? You’ll miss out on the best career counseling advice!It all starts with changing some misconceptions about job search.

    A Brief History of Digital Signage
    Digital signage is a relatively new form of advertising that allows companies to use electronic screens to broadcast information, commercials, or anything else of their choosing to large amounts of people. This kind of advertisement is spreading to different venues like wild fire. From malls to restaurants to airports to post offices, digital signage is sweeping the advertising market. But where did it all start? Digital signage was used in the 1970’s in stores with VCRs and televisions to at

    Experience and knowledge

    Every view of the processes of a business is conceptualised, usually very highly so. The real processes that ensure that the job is carried out are largely informal and fill in all the gaps around any formalised procedures that are in place. These informal processes exist as a result o
