Kyaizen An Old New Quality Concept
The Japanese word 'Kaizen' means gradual, unending improvement; doing little things better; setting - and achieving - ever-higher standards. Masaaki Imai, the author of a book with the same title in the late eighties, says that it is Kaizen that is the simple truth behind Japan's economic miracle and the real reason the Japanese have become the masters of "flexible manufacturing" technology - the ability to adapt manufacturing processes to changing customer and market requirements, and do it fast.
Sean Combs Godzilla
In 1998, a film was released that would introduce Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to a new audience of music listeners. Starring Matthew Broderick and Hank Azaria, “Godzilla” opened in theatres across America to mixed reviews.

For Sean Combs, Godzilla was his chance to show people he wasn’t just a one-genre musician; he could rock it out with the best of them.

Multilingual Marketing
About 75% of the world’s population speak no English at all. At present count, that’s some five billion people you’re not able to reach if your online presence is English-language only.

Watch your Language - the truth about language, diversity, and customer service
If you employ workers whose first language isn’t English, you may have come to regard these individuals as your organization’s greatest resource. They are hard working, appreciative, and utterly reliable. Unfortunately, these same workers may also be your organization’s greatest vulnerability. Employees whose English isn’t proficient may be unintentionally straining relationships with your customers. Simply put, if customers can’t easily understand your employees, they will take their business elsewhere; to a place where they won’t have to work so hard to spend their money.

Yield of Dreams
n the early 1950s, Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. During her first attempt, she had been swimming for hours and was getting very near to the English coast. That's when the seas turned much colder and heavy swells developed. A dense fog settled in blocking everything from view with a chilly wet blanket. As Florence's pace slowed and energy drained, her mother called through the fog from one of the small boats following behind, "Come on, Florence, you can make it. It's only a little further."
