Digg it UP - The Tornado in Your Business
The retail stores back in the 80s did not have any competition hence it kept growing and competition was minimal. Back then you could buy like crazy, load up your stores with a vast variety of inventory, do a fair job with merchandising, and customers of all ages and sizes would come flocking in to buy and buy. Those were the days, but times are different now. As a business grows and changes, so does its customer base. As I speak with business owners in my audiences from across the world, I am constantly amazed tha

Six Sigma is a methodological strategy by which errors in a company’s current processes and plans are identified and strategies to rectify the same are formulated. It is fact-based technique, involving a lot of data handling, which provides scientific results for cost cutting and reduction in waste of resources. Today, many organizations, large and small scale, are applying Six Sigma to ensure improved, faster and cheaper services to their consumers without compromising on the quality quotient.Various Levels<
But when do you prepare?
A disaster whether in your life, your community or your business occurs in four phases:
* The interphase
* The adverse event
* The response phase
* The recovery phase.
The interphase is that period between adverse events. It begins at the end of the last recovery and continues until the moment of the next adversity. It is during this phase that preparation and planning must occur. It is during this phase that we practice, review and rehearse for our next response and recovery.
The adverse event is that discreet moment in time when everything goes you know where in a handbasket. There is no time during an adverse event to do anything but begin implementing your response plan. There will be little or no effective response during the adverse event, only the mitigation of ongoing damage.
The response phase begins during the adverse event and continues until needs no longer exceed resources. If you are fortunate needs never exceed resources and the adverse event and the response ends almost simultaneously. In other words, you have averted disaster. On the other hand, those who are significantly unprepared will face not only a disaster, but a situation where their needs exceed all ability to respond and the situation will progress to catastrophe. In a catastrophe you must first re establish the ability to respond even though needs will continue to exceed resources. Once you have reduced catastrophe to a mere disaster you must then re establish lines of supplies and business practices that allow your resources to exceed your needs.
The recovery phase begins as soon as resources exceed needs. In other words, as soon as the

PR is often thought to encompass just real life media such as newspapers, magazines and the web, but there’s a whole world of online PR that needs attention as part of your business growth.Why Online PR is so vitalThink about what happens when someone reads your name in a magazine or newspaper. Unless it’s a household phenomenon such as Crown paints or Paris Hilton then chances are they’ve got to now only remember your name but also the web address too.

The ability to solve complicated problems quickly is more important than ever in today’s competitive world.From the time we’re little kids, we’re taught to solve problems by trial and error. That’s fine if the problem is as simple as a burned out light bulb. When the problem is a muddle of business, technical and political problems, we need something that helps us untangle the mess. Unless you’re Harry Potter, treating a mess like a burned out light bulb is as effective as wishing for magic.Fortunately, th

Business referrals are a critical aspect of a successful IT Consulting business. The question is though, "How do you get set up for business referrals?" IT Consultants who are in the know, use their network to get the referrals they need.Business Referral SourcesSome of the best business referrals come from niche technology providers.

The recovery phase begins as soon as resources exceed needs. In other words, as soon as the response phase ends. Recovery can take days, weeks, months or even years.
The key point is that adversity is unpredictable and unavoidable. Specific types of adverse events may be foreseen, particularly if manmade or as the natural end result of poor planning or poor management. Specific adverse events may even be mitigated or stopped before they can progress to a state where they can adversely affect the business but adversity itself, in all of its forms, is unavoidable and a natural part of life and business. Just as the tornados and severe whether storms that struck just days ago were an unavoidable part of life in the beautiful waterfront landscape of North Central Florida, adversity is part of the landscape of business.
Lake County, however, avoided disaster. Certainly, the events were what would commonly be called “disastrous” for the individuals and communities affected. However, the community institutions themselves were prepared with a response. Lake County suffers severe whether on a regular basis and events that are newsworthy on a regional or national level at least once a year. Lake County, Florida is staffed by some of the best emergency services, search and rescue and emergency management personnel in Florida. They are served by one of the largest and best equipped trauma centers in Florida and they are well practiced. Unfortunately, they are also very experienced.
