Inspiring Innovation & Creativity through Business Systems
Ok, I admit: "I am a big fan of systems, Its all about Systems". It could just be the Mechanical Engineer and Business Analyst coming out in me, but it goes much deeper than that. It is definitely grounded in my recent experiences with systems. We are surrounded by systems, and our lives revolve around them and rely on them working infallibly. The cars (or motorbikes) we drive, the computers we use and the human bodies we live in, are all brilliantly refined and intricate systems that we use everyday. We expect them to work predictably and consistently every time we use them.

2.1.2 Lack of provision and system reorientation
It is widely argued that training systems in developing countries should meet the training needs of the poor in an effective and equitable manner. "The bulk of new jobs are being created in micro and small enterprises. Consequently, the training system should prepare people to be productively employed in these sectors" (ILO, 1998:57). The continuing lack of training opportunities for the poor and disadvantaged is, therefore, a constant refrain in the VET literature.

2.1.3 The potential for change
Given the received wisdom that training for the poor has had limited impact and training systems have not reoriented to meeting the need of the poor, the key question is 'what is the scope for improvement with respect to both these dimensions of the training crisis?' Again, the prevailing mood among leading commentators is decidedly pessimistic. Broadly speaking, two types of pessimism can be discerned.

2.2.4 National training systems: Contributory factors
While constant reference is made in the literature to 'vocational training systems', it is rarely made clear what exactly is meant by training system.

4.1 The potential for training interventions: The demand for training
As is well known, the supply of training does not usually create its own demand. Clearly, therefore, training provision for the poor has been powerfully shaped by the nature of the demand for training among targeted groups, in particular in the informal sector. Lack of effective demand is a key reason for both the limited training provision for the poor (and hence outputs and impacts) in most countries as well as the overall failure of national training systems to reorient their activities in support of the poor.

The Systems View
Systems are all around us. We can view most common occurrences with a "systems" perspective. Here is a cute story to illustrate how systems operate.

Lead the way
Sales needs to be led from the top and it needs to be on the agenda of the ‘C’ suite, and this will mean from the CEO down, including the CFO, COO, and CIO. Even if the ‘C’ suite never has contact with an external customer (which I strongly advise against) they need to know how to lead, sell in, and support the sales effort. Why? Despite millions, if not billions, of dollars being invested in sales training, CRM systems and the like, many leaders are realising that their frontend processes, backend systems, culture (including those staff who have not traditionally seen themselves involved in sales), and sales methodologies are not aligned with their customers.

Systems, Flexibility, and Spontaneity
Women entrepreneurs often under estimate the power of having systems. There is often the misconception that systems are complicated and time-consuming. This article gives some simple tips for creating systems and why they are useful.
Stop Reinventing the Wheel: Create Systems to Save Time and Money
Most of us run our lives on a handful of systems. Between our smart phones, calendars, and our e-mail inboxes, we have organized ourselves and our time. And if you ever doubt the importance of these systems, recall your panic the last time you couldn’t access your email or your hard drive crashed. Yet as important as these systems are, most of us don’t take advantage of what systems can do to improve our businesses and simplify our lives. Systems are simply ways of automating or structuring processes so that they can occur systematically without so much thought or attention-and by more than just one person, so that the business can continue to run if the owner takes a vacation.

Partner Portal Navigation - How to Improve and Increase Partner Usage and Resulting ROI
Most manufacturers today provide their dealer partners with websites and web applications to assist them in their business. There can be systems for sales and pricing, parts ordering and tracking, warranty processing, online training, document storage and retrieval, and other unique applications developed by the company's IT group. But what you may not hear or see through surveys is whether your dealers are internally complaining about the "systems" and "websites" and "extranets" that they "must use" when they do business with you. And you know when they tell you "you're difficult to do business with," you have a problem.
