The study found that although women are more responsible managers of credit than men, they only receive 30 percent of loans, with black women receiving the least funding. |

CANADA IS A COUNTRY OF MEDIOCRITY
| |
| Having been closely watching the American presidential race with a great deal of interest, and have to say being fascinated even enthralled by a number of the speeches, I recalled having read an article in the newspaper last year quoting a study or report that concluded Canada was a “country of mediocrity.” It stated that we are not particularly innovative, creative or willing to step up and take risks to move our society forward and become more of a leader in the world.

It Takes Teamwork to Make a Company Dream Work
| |
| Almost everyone works in a team, but very few ever seem to achieve happiness and success from it. This always amazes me. Let's face it; if you want to be a successful engineer, you study engineering. If you want to be a successful cook, you study cooking.

Productivity Improvement via Method study
| |
| There are a number of approaches to improving productivity: the best-known currently is probably ‘Lean’ but such approaches go back many years to the days of the early ‘productivity pioneers’.
Many people (and especially people of ‘a certain age’) will immediately think of ‘time and motion’ when asked to describe a productivity methodology. This refers to the early days of ‘work study’ when the aim (as it often still is today) is to reduce the time taken by, and the motion involved in, work.

And just about every person I have ever interviewed for a usability study has mentioned using it. This success doesn't mean that it's always smart to copy from Amazon. It's still necessary to think critically about your content, audience, and goals before implementing any feature from another website, even proven leaders. |
