Prioritizing Organizational Wants Versus Needs - How To Tell The Difference
In strategic planning, we must learn to separate wants from actual needs. We are forced to make tough decisions that open one door and close another. Weighty strategic decisions can be made easier if we apply a decision “triage” to help structure the cognitive process we must complete. But how do we separate requirements from “desirements” in the business world fairly and consistently? Sometimes budgetary constraints drive us to adopt a strategy of eliminating options that are not actually requirements for our business, at least not at this time. For that first round of elimination, we need a litmus test of sorts. More to the point, what we need is a decision process to help us filter the wants from the needs. This article provides a system for making such an evaluation within our strategic planning process.
Are Your SEO Efforts In Line With Your Marketing Strategies?
While many companies see the value and importance in SEO, a great number still treat it as essentially a separate entity from their greater marketing efforts, and the two "never speak to each other" This approach is potentially dangerous considering SEO is meant to attract the right kind of customers online, and it's effectiveness can be decreased if it's not pointed in the right direction.

This section examines recent economic performance at the continental and subregional levels. It discusses disparities in growth performance and the factors behind the observed disparities across countries and subregions. The analysis pays particular attention to structural factors such as endowment in natural resources, the role of policies and institutions as well as non-policy drivers of growth, including exogenous factors such as natural calamities, geography, and civil conflicts.

Capacity Utilization and Constraints
Capacity is the sum of what your organization can create, given its resources, to meet sales, demand, and product mix changes. Often it can’t react as quickly as you’d like, either up or down. You have noticed that. Choose the actions that fit your objectives, that can be effective within your organization’s culture and capability. Many actions are cost effective; choose what fits.

Identify your Marketing Constraint
As I mention in a previous post: Every System, typically has relatively few constraints. However, to operate at maximum efficiency, the limiting constraint must be identified. Five Steps of Continuous Improvement help identify and improve the constraint. How do I correlate the Marketing Hourglass with the Theory of Constraints?

Value Stream Marketing: It’s just not about the Value
Of course when I start discussing flow, I am going to start discussing Theory of Constraints. In your marketing process, you will have numerous constraints but Goldratt claims that at any given time, there is only one constraint. That constraint is much like the neck of an hourglass and will limit the entire system. Actually, if it is well managed you could throttle your process accordingly (We only wish we could that). Simply doubling the efforts in a constraint could be the easy solution and may just move the constraint to another area. However, we operate in a more complicated world than that. Something else usually cases something else to happen.
