A Message for Instructional Designers - Learning Styles Are Important
| |
| I recently had a casual conversation with a guy responsible for checking aircraft engines for cracks in the metal casings. A pretty critical job you might think-particularly if, like me, you fly a lot on business.
I was interested in the quality tool and systems he uses in his job “Six Sigma? SPC? ISO 9000? “ I inquired.
“I sat through all that stuff in class,” was his response, “but I really didn’t understand it or pay attention”. He thought for a second and added, “but I know I can detect a hairline crack on a piece of metal from 100 yards!”

Bookkeeping and Home Remodelling
| |
| Remoddeling your home can be a popular way of adding value to a property, so long as the refurbishment is done with care.
A recent inspection of a detached house in a local suburb revealed a potential ticking time-bomb. The vendor had put in a great deal of time and energy in remodellinmg this simple three bedroon house, and the results looked very presentable. So much so that the vendor had received a firm contract for a prospective purchaser, subject to a report from a local Building Inspector. And then things turned sour.

How Poor Systems Lose You Business
| |
| Some time ago I used the services of a mortgage broker who in the first instance was very prompt and appeared very efficient. Although it took some time for the refinance to go through (that was caused by the bank and their legal people), all went smoothly.
However, going back a second time to this broker, the cracks in his lack of systems are showing.
I've had to chase him up to get things moving. It appears he now has a lot more business than when I first used his services.

Delusion of Trust is Compromising Growth
| |
| Do you have absolute trust among your ownership and leadership teams? Do not answer yes too quickly. Every organization tells me they have trust, yet most do not. There has been no research around how much money lack of trust costs organizations every year, but I am confident that you can increase your revenue and profits substantially by facing this issue. If you have cracks in trust you are missing the foundation to teamwork and will find it impossible to achieve peak performance in your organization. |

The Power of Prioritising
| |
| As we reflect back on 2009, it was a year of change and uncertainty. Many organisations could be compared to a sporting team under pressure. When the market is going their way then everything is working and confidence is high. However when the pressure is on the weaknesses become very apparent and the cracks starts to appear.

Papering over the cracks
| |
| If "cracked eggs don't hatch", simply papering over the cracks isn't going to change things. All too often organisations go for the quick fix - dealing with the immediate rather than the underlying causes of problems. In this article Doug Long argues for a leadership approach to getting desired results. |

Guerrilla marketing erects monuments to follow-up, honors it, and practices it.
| |
| But effective follow-up is a rarity among small businesses. It pains me to know that over 60% of leads--leads that took a lot of time, energy, imagination and information to generate--will slip through the cracks. What's even more tragic is that a stunning 68 percent of the leads that convert into customers will be ultimately lost after the sale due to poor follow-up. |

What To Do With Cracks in Stucco
| |
| My tip today has to do with surface cracks in the stucco substrate. They may be unsightly, but short of living on a hill in an active seismic region, cracks shouldn’t really mean much to you. Anything less than the thickness of a credit card can easily be filled and that’s that! Remember that most building codes today mandate a waterproof vapor barrier under all stucco, so it is not likely that a simple surface crack will result in water intrusion. |
