The Humility Of Good Business
It’s 8am. My son is off with his nanny for the day, coffee in hand, I’m approaching the office and I see a rather conspicuous notice taped to the window of the architecture firm directly next door. I decide to take the peak. The place is eerily dark, lights off, something sort of ominous about the place. I take a look at the notice. It’s a court ordered eviction summons, cease and desist immediately, five days to respond to New York State Superior Court. $83, 575 dollars in delinquent rent owed. Wow.

ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE THE NEW LANGUAGE OF MANAGEMENT
Enterprise Architecture is rapidly becoming to management thinking what mathematics is to the engineering of physical systems. The primary purpose of Enterprise Architecture is to make the invisible visible. Management Consultants that are not already versed in Enterprise Architecture appear to be scrambling to learn its principles.
Sloppy naming
If you've got more than one product or service, you have a problem. You need to decide if there's going to be an architecture to the way you name things. General Motors has a division, Chevrolet. Chevrolet makes cars, and each car has a name (Corvette, Impala). They have an architecture in place that makes some things clear very quickly.
How does the complexity theory apply to business? (A Brief Dialogue)
Member Question: Has anyone applied complexity theory to business in a practical way? Asheville, U.S. My Response: The chaos theory and butterfly effect are interesting concepts in terms of the “complexity” of business. Over a number of years and through funding from the Government of Canada’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Program I developed a theory called strand commonality. In the area of supply chain practice for example (although the term “chain” is a misnomer in that it implies a sequential architecture instead of the synchronized architecture that represents the dynamic characteristics of different stakeholders within the real-world), one seeks to understand the unique operating attributes of individual stakeholders using an agent-based model.

GENERATING LEADS, BRAND, RELATIONSHIPS, AND TRUST AT THE SAME TIME
By Mike Schultz Relationships. Trust. Delivery of superb value. These are core ingredients of a successful service firm. Talk to 100 service firm marketers and leaders, and they'll all tell you (and most of them believe it, even if they're wrong) that their firm is in the top of their industry in each of these categories. Why, then, do service firms typically do such a poor job of bringing relationships, trust, and value into their marketing mixes?

How to Socially Intelligent Interact with People
One of my law firm Managing Partner executive coaching clients recently shared with me that he was having a hard time influencing several of the firm partners on a new strategy for the firm. We have been working on improving his executive presence including talking less and listening more. He is not great at getting others to cooperate with him, and has a fairly authoritative leadership style.

Legal Marketing: Your logo, a visual foundation for your firm
Your logo is a visual representation of your firm, and it should be recognizable, consistent and memorable. Your brand – and by extension, your logo–is your promise to your clients. It includes the way your office looks, the way you answer your phone and emails, the type of people you hire, the way you deliver your services-ultimately it’s who you are as a firm. The most obvious extension of your branding is often your firm logo so creating one should be approached with a level of seriousness and dedication.
Legal Marketing: Create a Label for you firm
Creating a "label" for you firm, or recognized brand, for your firm will increase your credibility and clientele base.

Which Client Are You?
Growth and profitability for your firm is less about acquiring and maintaining more clients, and more about strategic selection and retention. Many (most) firms grapple with this concept, as it appears counter-productive to expend energy in acquiring clients, only to let some of them go, and there’s always the consideration of the potential that a particular client may bring to the firm in the future. Unless clients are proactively managed through a client growth process, the value to your firm will be realized a lot more slowly and the returns are unlikely to be as high when you let the client drive the process. The resources that your firm needs to employ in order to acquire and service your clients, is also a key consideration in how you grow your client base.
