Six Sigma Assessment
Assessing Six Sigma is not end-of-the-process post implementation, although an analysis of a failed Six Sigma project points out the lack of commitment by upper management and lack of attention to the cultural and business investment required for accomplishing and sustaining new tiers of performance. It is in this context that assessment of Six Sigma becomes necessary, especially when new attempts by companies on improvement projects, reveal that the journey will be long and hard.Assessing The Different Implementation Stages of Six SigmaThe key to the success of Six Sigma implementation lies in

If you’re like many small business owners, you might be wondering just what a corporate identity package is. And if you already know what it is, you might be wondering why your small business would need one. After all, you’re just a small business, not one of those big corporations. What’s in it for you?

What is My Calling?
“What is my calling?” Do any of us really have complete clarity about our life calling? Even those of us with the knowingness we must teach, write or sing may often ask, “What direction am I to go, now?” How do we answer these soulful questions?Richard Bolles, author of “What Color is My Parachute?” and the granddaddy of the employment industry says, when people are asked what they would like to do they often respond with “I don’t know.” Bolles maintains this is because people interpret the question to be “What am I going to do with the rest of my life?”This question is too big, too daunting, im

Job Search Tips No One Ever Told The Graduate!
Congratulations graduate! It’s an awesome accomplishment and your education will help pave the way for rewarding opportunities. Unfortunately, graduating can resemble stepping off a cliff into the unknown. You may find the “real world” a pretty scary place. Some students may find school a “safe” place. While in school, you’ve been told what to do, when to do it, how to do it, etc. You’ve had safety nets and second chances. You may have shown up for class or not. You may have been responsible or not. You may have excelled or did just enough to get by. It’s now up to you to d

When you started your small business, you might have dreamed of becoming more than just another small business. Maybe you even dreamed about becoming a big business some time in the future. And even if you’re a completely practical entrepreneur and didn’t have those dreams, you need to attract customers in order to keep your small business open.

Splitting a branding project typically results in a lack of consistency between pieces in your marketing kit. All of your brand materials should have similar design elements. When a project is split among different design firms, often those firms don't have a similar style, and you can wind up with print collateral, for example, that looks dramatically different from your website.

The idea of creating CMDB and keeping it up to date may seem like a very daunting task and too expensive for the benefits to deliver a proper return on investment. This does not have to be the case if a project to implement the CMDB is planned properly and the correct people structure to accomplish this and maintain this is put in place.

Marketing is a continuous activity for small business owners. Finding inexpensive yet effective ways to keep in touch and supply valuable information to customers is a constant need--and postcard marketing is one way to meet that need.
