How to make title tags optimized for search engines
I often analyze the content, HTML coding and tag structure, and link structure of websites, from the perspective of being optimized for search engines. I provide a report to each client on what they need to or should change, and often that report is much larger than they anticipated! On almost every single report I've delivered to date, the title tags have been in serious need of attention.

Sales Assessment Comparison - Objective Management Group vs. Devine
It's not often that we get to compare the assessment results of an individual that took our assessment and another. Why? Because most companies don't use multiple assessments that report on similar findings. Notice that I said "report on" and not "look at". While other assessments report on findings similar to ours, they don't look at or measure the same information to draw their conclusions. That's why the reports I received today make for such an enjoyable comparison.

Basics of Credit Reports and Background Checks
Many employers would like to have a credit report before hiring, However, for job applicants, a credit report can seem like an invasion of privacy and unfair. The bottom-line is that employers need to approach credit report with caution and only use them if there is a business necessity, and further understand that here can be errors or items not related to employment. Job applicants also have rights when it comes to credit reports. Job applicants need to understand that credit scores are not part of an employment credit report and that employers do not request credit reports just to find ways not to hire. A credit report is only requested once a candidate is a finalist and there are certain positions where a requesting a credit report does make sense. This article surveys the use of credit reports and hiring.

Tactics For Keeping Score On Your Business
How To Analyze and Report Sales and Profit Generating Activity. Whether you are a solopreneur, manage a team or are responsible for the whole organization. Tracking wins and loses is not good enough in sales or any performance area of the business for that matter. A methodical, yet meaningful tracking of results can reveal important areas of needed improvement as well as successes that need to be replicated.

Change Management Can Lead to Rigidity and Resistance to Change
Beware of formal organization improvement or "change management" (an oxymoron) plans. Like strategic plans, organization improvement or change management plans can reduce an organization's effectiveness. They can lead to rigidity, bureaucracy, and resistance to change. This sounds like an argument against planning. It's not. We have found that constant and ongoing personal, team, and organization improvement planning is vital. But too many "change management" and improvement plans are built on the same faulty premise as strategic planning - that there is a right path, which can be determined in advance and then implemented. We often hear managers declare that they have the right strategic or improvement plan, but the reason things aren't going according to plan is because of "execution problems." This is a deadly assumption.

Leaders Go First
The CLEMMER Group did an extensive assessment with a divisional manager to diagnose the strengths and weaknesses within his division and implement a major change and improvement process. Our assessment report showed that the problems in the division's customer service, quality, and productivity could be traced to one cause - the management team was dysfunctional. They were technicians and managers, not leaders. Their individual and collective leadership was weak. After reviewing the report with the division manager, we planned an off-site retreat with the management team to review the report and establish action plans.

Process Management Pathways and Pitfalls (Part Two)
Make sure all your process improvement activities are clearly and tightly linked to your strategic imperatives. Each effort should also have highly focused and specific improvement goals (that are an aggressive, major stretch) and measurements. Establish feedback and follow-up steps for each process management and improvement team.
