Is A Gas Opec A Real Threat To Europe?
At a time when gas exporting countries are considering the formation of an OPEC type gas producer’s cartel, EU President Barrosso has argued the case for a united European energy strategy in order to improve and maintain a more favourable bargaining position. In an interview with energy expert Jonathan Stern of Oxford University’s Institute of Energy Studies, he argues that such a strategy is necessary, but, doubts, given the very differe

One of my favorite Gary Larson cartoons is the one with the cardboard cutouts of a hillbilly family on the lawn of their mountain shack. The caption reads: The Fake McCoys.

The term "Real McCoy" most likely comes from a railway invention by Elijah McCoy that automatically dripped oil to critical parts of the train instead of having to stop and let the oilman do it manually.

Even though Elijah applied for and was granted a US Patent, there were many imitators. But none of them were as good as the "Real McCoy".

How about you and your company? Are you the Real McCoy?

Or are you trying to be something you're not? Are you trying to imitate your competition instead of being yourself?

I see far too many small companies trying to look like big companies. I see big companies doing their best to come across as a small-town company. There are old enterprises attempting to look fresh and new, while brand new ones are trying to appear well established.

All of these efforts burn up time, energy and resources. They rarely work well--if they work at all.

People like to do business with people they like. And they like people who are like themselves. They don't really do business with a company--they do business with the people IN that company.

Buyers today are savvy. They have more choices than ever before. And they can tell--at least at some level--whether or not the company and the people in it are congruent. They seek out, resonate with and tend to be loyal to companies that are authentic.

It's not only a good thing to do, it's good business.

Opportunities Galore for the Bilingual
The world is ever changing. We have seen fads come and go, bands come and go, and hot markets come and go. But there is one thing that has kept on getting hotter, that is the need for someone to translate. Virtually every area you can think of needs someone to translate for them. If you haven’t thought about the possibility of you translating, maybe you should start.I cant think of a college when I was looking that didn’t requi

How to Choose a Video Production Company
Determine the size of the production company you need. Although there are many factors that determine the cost of a video shoot (as explained later), the first consideration for staying in budget is the type and size of the production company. Large production companies have multiple studios and sound stages, editing suites, and a sizeable staff. These are the people that television stations and Hollywood producers call

Associations Deliberating the Conference Conundrum
In difficult economic times, the question of how to deliver value to conference attendees while keeping the cost under control is truly a conundrum.

First, explore the basic types that attend conferences, especially when travel is required. The old paradigm conf

What Does Your Executive Committee Do
At some point in the development of most Non-Profit organizations, the question of whether they need an Executive Committee arises. Usually this is the result of one of the following situations:1) Board members have seen Executive Committees on other boards so they form one because "that's the way it's done". 2) The founding or dominant members of the board get frustrated with having the whole board in on every discussion

If there's anything false, made up or covered over, your prospects will sense it. And they won't even be able to tell you why they didn't buy.

As Emerson said so eloquently, "Who you are speaks so loudly, I can't hear what you say."

The company that knows who they are, knows what they're really good at and communicates that effectively--without trying to be all things to all people--is usually way ahead of the pack.

Is it easy? No, I don't think so. But it IS easier than trying to be something you're not.

Authenticity is Pillar Number One of the World Class Principles. This principle--authenticity--is the most challenging and yet perhaps the simplest of all the 10 Pillars. Much like your core values, your authentic self isn't something to create but rather something to discover.

Be who you are--no one else is better qualified.

Most people--and most organizations--have not really thought about this. It starts with realizing that this process is worthy of some introspection.

And it requires that we answer some tough questions.

Who are we? Who are we being? How do we come across? What do we stand for? What are our core values? This goes far beyond our mission and our vision. It may be based on mission/vision, but it's more about the culture of our organization and how that culture is showing up in our business dealin

There has been a complete turnaround in the concept of manpower management in most leading companies. The focus has shifted from authoritarian style of management to a more personal and caring style, which treats people who make up a company as associates and comrades. This change in attitude has led to the formation of the Associate Acknowledgment program that helps improve employee communication with the management and boost their morale. This kind of a work environment makes the employees feel supported, celebrated and acknowledged. One part of this program is the Employee bereavement policy that conveys sympathy for staff members that have suffered a family death.

Medical billing and trailer records is like food and water. They are both needed if a claim file is going to be paid. In this installment, we conclude our review of the XA0 record.

When we surf through the web we see many entities selling American corporations and other structures that they consider to be called asset protection strategies. These run the gamut of corporations in the states of Wyoming, Delaware or Nevada, trusts of various types and other structures all based in the USA. What is wrong here is that nothing in the USA can protect you.
