Succumbing to EVIL Shortcut-ish Temptations and Forgetting the “Social” In Social Media
Social media is turning marketing and public relations upside down. The rules of the game are changing and shifting, and amidst all of this wonderful, innovation-driven chaos, many get into social media without keeping a focus on the “social” in social media. How many times have you gotten onboard a social media website, went on an “adding friends” wild spree, starting sending links to these new so-called friends and wished for the best? I don’t know about you but I’ve had several attempts with different social media sites. Many failed, and some succeeded.

Knowledge And The Intellectural Capital Of The Organization
In the new economy of the millennium, knowledge has emerged as an asset to be valued, developed and managed. The quest for knowledge is not new: in the fourth century BC, Aristotle noted "All men by nature desire knowledge." Now, 25 centuries later, knowledge drives the global economy. No longer is knowledge considered only an individual's personal wisdom; knowledge is a component of the intellectual capital of organizations (Stewart 1997).

The Value Of Knowledge To The Organization
Since knowledge is an intangible asset, it is difficult to assign a value to it. Its amorphous nature exacerbates this difficulty. Lew Platt, former CEO of Hewlett Packard, has acknowledged the dilemma: "If HP know what HP knows, we would be three times as profitable." Intellectual capital is collective knowledge, but who collects it and who disseminates it? Successful and competitive organizations are rich in knowledge, but whose knowledge is it and and who assigns value to it? Values assigned to knowledge may differ. For example, knowledge May have one value for the organization, another for shareholders, yet another for current and potential partners, and still one more for individuals within the organization.
Managing Projects Through People
Management can be a tricky thing. Many companies promote people to management / supervisory positions based on their knowledge of the job and ability to get things done. But management goes so far beyond that, which is why many managers are not as effective as they should be. So what does it take to be an effective manager/supervisor? A supervisors job is to manage both people and projects. Tuning people-management and project-management skills are necessary for any manager to truly be effective.

Herd Mentality
Booths featuring products and services related to employee engagement, web-based delivery, global performance, and talent management were overflowing with conference attendees as I walked the trade show at a national conference where I was speaking. Just a few years ago the magnets were initiatives like total quality management, six sigma, diversity, work-life-balance, and customer driven.
Making Lean Part of the Business Strategy
With the best of intentions, many companies fail to secure the desired results for lean manufacturing initiatives. Why? Because the lean initiatives are not part of the overall business strategy.
Competitive Career Management Practices: Gaining Leverage in the 21st Century
The global marketplace and ever-changing workforce have created the need for organizations to engage human resources practices that recognize their human capital as their major competitive advantage. In fact, the current trends emphasize the growing demand for effective, creative recruitment and retention initiatives. Most human resources executives will site the need to stay competitive with these initiatives as one of their biggest challenges. One of the basic principles to assist with this challenge is to embrace pro-active and strategic career management practices that can provide you with a strong foundation for gaining a competitive edge.
Return on Investment from Coaching – Measuring Success!
Aligning HR strategy with business strategy is critical, however it is insufficient to make this strategic linkage at concept level and then embark on HR initiatives without a conscious intention to measure the return on investment (ROI) of these initiatives

Prioritize your Strategic Initiatives
Strategic planning is a great way to identify which initiatives can add the most value to your organization. The next step is to prioritize initiatives with a systematic method. Use our downloadable Priority Index Tool to guide you through the prioritization process, and help you drill down on the value added for each proposed initiative.
Knowledge Is Not Power – It’s What You Do With That Knowledge, That’s What Really Counts
That’s right. Knowledge is not power. Nope. This is one of the biggest lies out there. Try this instead: “It is the implementation of knowledge that is the real power”. You see it isn’t what you know that matters, it’s what you do that counts. Knowledge alone won’t fix a thing. It’s what you do with that knowledge; that’s what will make the difference.
