Relocate for cost reasons or to access qualified employees or support?
It is certainly possible for a business to cost justify another facility, instead of or in addition to, in order to gain access to qualified employees, specialized vendors, or support; to optimize location-sensitive costs, community incentive / tax combination, and regulatory climate. In addition to this informative article, my Amazon book, Facility Relocation, Merger and Design, provides both management suggestions and hands-on guidance for this management strategy.

Merger or consolidation; facility actions help it succeed
Merge or consolidate to concentrate resources for successful operation; use economies of scale to minimize cost. But don’t overlook facilities and operation, where all the plans and expectations must come together or the new entity won’t function. In any economy, especially this one, consolidation or merger can make economic and strategic sense. First plan, and later integrate, equipment, processes and facilities properly because they affect not only the balance sheet but also future P&L results of the entity. My Amazon book, Facility Relocation, Merger and Design, provides both management suggestions and hands-on guidance to facility planning.

HR Consulting: Taking The Plunge
So you want to be a Human Resource consultant. And why not? You’ve paid your dues in corporate life. You’ve risen to the top of your profession. It’s time for a new challenge. HR consulting is a great career for the right individual—but the wrong profession for many. If you like predictability, the amenities of corporate life, a steady flow of people to your office, and a regular paycheck with benefits—then keep your day job.

Workplace Etiquette: The Political Savvy Individual
At one time, it was assumed that office politics were played primarily by supervisors and managers who were attempting to climb the ladder of success, and executives who were still either climbing or trying to maintain. Not only are office politics tougher today, but the stakes are at their highest. In an era of organizations trimming down to reduce costs, corporate takeovers, downsizings, and mergers the use of political savvy is needed for survival.

They say that in a corporate environment it can take years for someone to get promoted, quit, or die so that you can move up.

Change is Good!
Change is a word that oftem brings fear into the hearts and minds of many. Debbie Lessin has never been one to fear change. But she readily admits that the decision to move her CPA office after 23+ years was a huge change and a decision that was a long time in coming. Having survived the move, she recalls how she approached this move methodically, professionally and with a whole lot of balance. As you read the aritcle, remember that the change doesn't have to be about moving an office per se. Think about any change that you are putting off or may not even realize that you need. Change is good. And good change is great! And that's exactly how Debbie feels about the move to her new office space. Some decisions take time. By taking her time to find the right space, Debbie's new work environment is everything she could have hoped for!
3 Common Causes of Corporate Strategy Misalignment
A recent artcile on corporate strategy covered the symptoms of corporate strategy misalignment. As discussed, a properly aligned corporate strategy will align strategic goals with the operations and execution tactics necessary to fulfill the organization’s desired outcomes. With a well-aligned corporate strategy, the entire organization – both internally and externally – will move in the same clearly-defined direction. Left to its own devices, a strategy that is misaligned will result in operational initiatives that are out of sync with strategic goals, missions that drift operationally off course, and chaos that compounds into serious consequences. Now it’s time to consider the causes of corporate strategy misalignment.

They proactively use that “opportunity” to make the move into entrepreneurship rather than stand on the unemployment line. I commend them.
