Trust-based relationships
I typed ‘Sales' into 'youtube' the other day just to see what was on offer. I have to say that some of the initial videos displayed on the front page were very disappointing indeed, especially when it came to building trust-based relationships with clients.
Your Limitations - Are they a Black Swan?
umor me for a moment today. Please close your eyes and envision a swan. Now, take a few moments and describe that swan. What words did you use? White, graceful, bird, clean, dirty, ugly duckling, etc. Long ago, in Europe, everyone believed that all swans were white. Why was that? Well, it was because all anyone had ever seen were swans that were white. Everyone thought that until in 1967. That was when Australia was found as well as the black swan. So what does this have to do with organizing or productivity? Keep reading to find out! Don't limit yourself!

An Audience with Charisma
Throughout my career I have often found myself in the company of individuals who have that indefinable quality that draws you to them, and leaves you feeling wonderfully energised as a result of meeting them. As a teenager I studied theatre and the performing arts. I remember the day that I realised technical excellence alone did not guarantee a brilliant performance. Being a huge fan of Ballet I fully appreciated the precision and mastery of The Royal Ballet Company. Yet when I saw The Bolshoi Ballet Company perform Swan Lake the artistes would glide onto the stage yielding an invisible power that captivated, and mesmerised their audience whom they were able to move to tears.

Crisis and the “Black Swan”
Black Swans are important events, either good or bad, that are highly improbable but happen nonetheless. Using the term Black Swan is a metaphor for an event that just is weird or unexplainable before hand using logic. None the less, Black Swans are explainable after the fact. Most are rare events that have extreme impact on the business. (Taleb, Nassim Nicholas. The Black Swan. New York: Random House, 2007.)
Proactive risk management & compliance
Compliance and risk professionals spend a lot of their time demonstrating their businesses meet regulatory requirements through reviews, completing checklists and compiling reports. In today's world there is a need for professionals to spend more time focusing on preparing their businesses against unknown risks - or black swan events. To achieve this the regulatory compliance aspect of their roles needs to be simpler and more automated. This article describes one such way of achieving this.
