Creating Effective Capacity Building Relationships
MicroStart's use of TSPs is an experiment in creating a new framework for capacity building. The original design sprang from the recognition that the standard CTA model in use throughout UNDP projects was not the best way to support the development of microfinance institutions.

SBA\'s Role
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is an independent Agency of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. It is charged with the responsibility of providing four primary areas of assistance to American Small Business. These are: Advocacy, Management, Procurement, and Financial Assistance. Financial Assistance is delivered primarily through SBA’s Investment programs, Business Loan Programs, Disaster Loan Programs, and Bonding for Contractors.

The pilot program is available throughout the country and is expected to run through September 30, 2005.
Can Technical Service Providers Add Significant Value?
The second major hypothesis behind MicroStart is that technical assistance from an experienced microfinance organization or consulting firm can help build the capacity of small, young MFIs.
SBAs 8a Program Can Help Some Companies Compete
The 8(a) Program (named after the section of the Small Business Act from which it comes) is an SBA program created to help small disadvantaged businesses better compete in the U.S. marketplace and within the arena of government procurement. The SBA provides business development, technical assistance and other services to the small businesses that are accepted into the 8(a) program.
A False Assumption Made by Too Many Aspiring Entrepreneurs
In his best selling book, The E-Myth Revisited, Michael Gerber said that most people fall victim to the most disastrous assumption anyone can make about going into business. He calls it 'The Fatal Assumption'. That Fatal Assumption is: if you understand the technical work of a business, you understand a business that does that technical work. In other words, don't assume that if you know how to bake pies (technical work of a business), it means you know how to successfully run a business that sells pies (business that does that technical work).
Some Dangers of PERT Charts
Many companies use PERT charts to track the progress of projects. These charts show the major milestones in complex projects and develop a “critical path” through the ones that must not slip or the entire project suffers. Depending on your job, you may be exposed to these. They are used extensively in military projects and large construction projects. The more sweeping and complex a project is, the more useful a network representation can be. There are some precautions that I will describe here.

Where the Jobs Are/Will Be
Not surprisingly, the job growth in technical fields will exceed the increases in the non-technical.
How do CEOs think?
I travel regularly to meet our customers. Normally, we work with the VP Engineering and the CTO of product Companies. I meet them regularly and most of the time our meetings are technical discussions or discussions about specific projects we may be working on. As the market was slow, most of our customers were not in a position to discuss specific projects. Most projects were on hold, and our customers were under pressure from their CEOs and Boards to reduce costs. This meant that they were pushing us for rate discounts.
The art of Project Management
PMP certification Chennai, Hyderabad & Bangalore provide project Management skills which are quite different from technical design, engineering or construction skills usually associated with most projects, and cover aspects outside of the scope of these technical areas that have to be well managed, if the project objectives are to be met.Project management teaches professionals to implement projects within discipline so that these projects end up being successful. With a strong project management team, methodology, and skills, along with an organization truly bought into project management, perhaps projects lead to chances of success.
