What Is WRONG With Web 2.0
| |
| The Internet is a global network of computers that communicate with each other using a number of different protocols where each one was designed with a different purpose in mind. The most well-known is the one used by the World Wide Web called the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP.) This protocol allows our computers to retrieve documents written in the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and display them inside the window of a program we call a "browser." |

Inspiring Innovation & Creativity through Business Systems
| |
| Ok, I admit: "I am a big fan of systems, Its all about Systems". It could just be the Mechanical Engineer and Business Analyst coming out in me, but it goes much deeper than that. It is definitely grounded in my recent experiences with systems.
We are surrounded by systems, and our lives revolve around them and rely on them working infallibly. The cars (or motorbikes) we drive, the computers we use and the human bodies we live in, are all brilliantly refined and intricate systems that we use everyday. We expect them to work predictably and consistently every time we use them.

Top Ten Business Systems Necessary to Run a Business Profitably
| |
| Good systems support the business owner by helping him/her to make good decisions. Every business has several key systems that when run properly will help the business to be profitable. Monitoring the systems and watching key measurements in the system will help the owner to know when to make changes and when to keep doing the same things. Having an operations manual for your business will allow you to have one place to go when you want to redefine a process or update a key measure. The operations manual is also helpful to new employees as they begin to learn how your business works.

Getting Bigger and Better: Managing the TOP 10 Risk Factors for Growing Companies
| |
| The framework for addressing the 10 Risk Factors is the Organizational Backbone. The vertebrae of this backbone are a company’s Strategies, Systems and Skills:
Strategies set the direction and provide context for the business and its employees.

BELIEF SYSTEMS DETERMINE HOW YOU UNDERSTAND LIFE
| |
| We need belief systems in order to filter information and create an understanding of life. These systems serve us well, but they can also get in the way and prevent us from new ways of seeing the world. An awareness of our entrenched beliefs gives us the power to accept them or change them depending on what best serves our achieving a fulfilled life. |

The Importance Of Software OWNERSHIP
| |
| When discussing free vs. proprietary software or open vs. closed source there is a third option that is often not mentioned but which may be the only way ahead for our business in the long term. Instead of depending on a community of open source developers or proprietary software companies to provide our mission-critical information systems we may have to develop and maintain our own software if our business is to have the information system it really needs. |

Stop Reinventing the Wheel: Create Systems to Save Time and Money
| |
| Most of us run our lives on a handful of systems. Between our smart phones, calendars, and our e-mail inboxes, we have organized ourselves and our time. And if you ever doubt the importance of these systems, recall your panic the last time you couldn’t access your email or your hard drive crashed.
Yet as important as these systems are, most of us don’t take advantage of what systems can do to improve our businesses and simplify our lives. Systems are simply ways of automating or structuring processes so that they can occur systematically without so much thought or attention-and by more than just one person, so that the business can continue to run if the owner takes a vacation.
