Opportunity Valuation Gives Direction to Strategic Planning
n corporate strategic planning and, let’s face it, in life itself we have to choose our battles. As much as we try to stretch our limited resources, the fact remains that they’re still limited. In our strategic planning approach, we call the process of choosing our battles “opportunity valuation.” And by the way, choosing our battles isn’t a negative; it merely refers to the fact that we must select the opportunities (targeted outcomes) that will earn our limited energy and resources. In our proprietary planning process, known as Plan4, opportunity valuation combats the behavior of many organizations that bite off more than they can chew and suffer for it. Opportunity valuation provides a structure for measuring the relative value of potential outcomes so the organization can move forward with confidence and realism.

Funke Adenodi Akinbuli Helps Disabled in Africa Live With Dignity & Respect
If you didn't already know, most of Africa’s disabled [including the blind, paraplegic etc.] citizens live in deplorable conditions. Most are unemployed and can be found on Africa’s major streets and highways placing themselves in harm’s way as they beg for money to meet their basic needs. Rarely will you find a paraplegic in Africa, for example, with necessary medical equipment i.e. wheelchair. Most navigate the streets and freeways on their hands. Sadly, a lot of Africa’s citizens have become desensitized to the deplorable conditions of the disabled partly because most are frustrated with economic and political conditions in the continent and are barely trying to keep heads above water. Others just have no idea where to begin helping and still most lack awareness of the plight of the disabled.

Training Managers to Meet Business Goals Using Work-Life Strategies
Training managers to use work-life tools is essential in creating a supportive culture and ensuring that everyone at the manager level (and, thus, those they supervise) are on the same page.

Instead of using traditional training programs for managers, the authors recommend a tool that they have created—the Manager’s Solution Forum. This accelerated learning approach engages participants from beginning to end which results in an increased level of understanding and utilization of work-life as a business strategy.
