About.com’s Martin Murray’s post “Non-Profit Organization Suing ERP Supplier” A Sign of the Times?
| |
| In a white paper that I had written in 2007 titled “SAP Procurement for Public Sector” I had highlighted how the challenges with failed ERP-centric initiatives extended beyond the public sector to include the private sector. The difference as one senior Colgate-Palmolive executive told me shortly after scrapping a failed program was that “unlike the public sector in which a failed initiative becomes front page news, private sector company ERP failures rarely make a blip on the media’s collective radar screen.”
The lack of media awareness notwithstanding, the frequency of failures in the private sector is comparable to the number of setbacks that occur in the public sector. |

How to Build Your Winning Team
| |
| Looking back at the hundreds of business relationships I’ve had in five companies over the last quarter century—employees, investors, partners, vendors/suppliers, subcontractors, consultants, board of advisors and directors, volunteers, bankers and many joint ventures—I can say with confidence that only a few ended up really bad.
But then, only a few dozen were extraordinary. The vast majority were pretty much just “OK”. Not great, not terrible.
And one would think that after all this time and experience I’d be getting better at my choices. And yet, I still hit and miss. Here is the distinction: I’ve learned to accelerate through my mistakes. |

Advertising Your Vacancies: Looking Beyond Want Ads
| |
| Anyone who has ever tried to hire a new employee has their fair share of horror stories. They advertised on a bulletin board at the local community centre and no one applied. They spent $1,200 for an ad in the newspaper and got hundreds of applications, but no one was really qualified. They hired the daughter of someone who was a recommendation from someone else, who was the brother of their hairdresser – the person didn’t work out. |

Zero Tolerance Means Zero Leadership
| |
| We have all heard the horror stories regarding zero tolerance policies in the past. Stories about a teenager being expelled for having a Tylenol in her purse or a five year old removed from the classroom for bringing a toy gun to school are recent examples that have generated buzz in the press. Most of us laugh at the ridiculousness of such examples and consider them to be the exception rather than the rule for today's society. Why do such policies exist and what purpose do these extreme measures provide the organization? Do such extreme positions provide any benefit? How does such a policy reflect on the leadership within these organizations? And finally, what might be the cost for an organization that must act upon the violation of such a policy?

DON\'t reject seller financing when selling a business because of stupid reasons!
| |
| Many sellers of their businesses are refusing to seller finance their buyers from number of different reasons.

And to be brutally honest, that reason is not only irrational, but it is simply stupid. Because horror stories are just that – stories.
Have you ever heard the one about the traveling salesman who goes out to a bar for a nightcap and wakes up in his hotel room with scars on his lower back – and his kidney missing? Of course you have; everyone knows THIS particular horror story.
