Spend Analysis versus Spend Intelligence: More Than a Semantical Difference
I believe the phrase "spend intelligence" to be misleading. To me, it sounds like a new take or sub-segment of business intelligence software applications which offer analytics and dashboard capabilities and sit on top of existing systems of record. The problem is that spend visibility and analytics is much more complex, requiring data cleansing, rationalization, classification and other efforts which go far beyond what is needed to gain insight into basic HR, financials, IT and other internal information, which fall cleanly in to the BI camp.
3.6 Securing incomes: Working Out of Poverty
Societies at all levels of development face the challenge of organizing systems to provide security against contingencies such as sickness, accident, death of the main breadwinner, disability, old age, maternity and unemployment that make individuals, families and communities vulnerable to poverty. Through solidarity and fair burden sharing, social security systems contribute to human security, dignity, equity and social justice. They are also a foundation for political inclusion, empowerment and the development of democracy. Half of the world’s population is excluded from any type of social security protection, with the rate of coverage varying from almost 100 per cent in some industrialized countries to less than 10 per cent in the poorest developing countries.
3.1 Skills development for sustainable livelihoods: Working Out of Poverty
It is a commonplace in debates about how to reduce poverty to assert that poor people’s main or only asset is their labour. It seems obvious that training has a critical role to play in improving productivity, incomes and equitable access to employment opportunities. Yet a striking feature of most poverty reduction strategies in developing countries is that the vocational education and training component is largely absent.

Are you overlooking one of the biggest sources of increased revenues for your business by not focusing a targeted marketing effort on your existing customers? Experience has proven that your existing customers are the most effective and efficient source of more revenue since you already have an existing relationship with them.

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.

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. Systems reinforce strategies. They are broadly defined as ‘the way that work gets done’. Skills enable effective execution of systems and adaptability to new systems. Most growing companies find that their Organizational backbone is misaligned – a natural result of high-growth.

Content Management Systems & SEO Revisited
Two years ago, in an article entitled "Content Management Systems Equal Business Suicide" I suggested that at that time, CMS applications were inherently devoid of basic SEO functionality. Using existing CMS versions of 2 years ago consigned many sites to the oblivion of Google's supplementary index. Since then, things have changed markedly.
Network Marketing Is A Business Of Systems Not A Love Story

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.
