The Benefits of a CRM Solution

Submitted By: Rebecca Rooney
Over the past few years there has been a significant increase in the use of software by business to manage customer facing processes and it has rapidly moved from being a “nice to have” to being a must have for business success. (CRM) Customer Relationship Management is one piece of software which will provide a competitive advantage. But what is CRM and what benefits will it deliver?

CRM helps businesses build relationships with new customers at the same time as keeping existing customers coming back. CRM is a combination of business strategy and business processes brought together by software which, if implemented correctly, bring significant, tangible benefits to organisations.

CRM solutions will enable you to store all information about contacts, competitors and suppliers in one place. This will mean that there will be no silos of information and therefore no gaps in knowledge ensuring exceptional levels of customer service. CRM will deliver a number of benefits to organisations including:

- Reduced duplication of effort
- Enhanced employee knowledge
- Enhanced customer service
- Improved customer satisfaction
- Increased profitability

What type of company implements a CRM Solution?

In the past, implementing any kind of software solution had significant costs associated with it. However, this was because implementing a CRM solution meant that there needed to be an onsite deployment and that additional hardware needed to be purchased to accommodate it. In the early years the significant costs meant that CRM has previously only been associated with large companies. Now, the price of hardware has come down and there is another hosting alternative. CRM is now available on a hosted platform – this means that the company purchases a CRM solution which is not stored on a server on their site, but is on servers in a datacentre or in “the cloud”. This has made implementing a CRM solution much more accessible for smaller organisations as no additional hardware was required. However, the hosted and SaaS solutions are not used exclusively by organisations which have a low number of users – it is also used by larger organisations that are just starting out with CRM.

How do I choose a business partner?

When implementing a CRM solution, often the best place to start is to create a list of requirements and split the list into an essential and nice to have list. Once you have a list of defined requirements it will be easier to inform a potential partner of the deliverables of the project. When selecting a business partner the most important thing is to find a partner which you believe best understands the requirements of your organisation. It is also important to consider other customers they already have, so asking to see case studies will provide you with an insight into the quality of their work. It may also be possible to visit some of their customers so you can actually have a face to face meeting and ask questions about the company. It’s also important to consider their support network, having the right level of support when starting out with a new piece of software can be the difference between project success and failure.

Will it integrate with my ERP solution?

There are many CRM solutions which will integrate with ERP solutions, however this is not often an out of the box functionality and if you want your front and back office staff working from the same data it is essential that you make this clear from the outset of the requirements capture process.

Having a CRM system which is fully integrated will mean that both front and back office functions will be working from the same data and this will mean that there will be increased visibility across the organisation.

No matter which hosting alternative you choose and whether it integrates with your ERP solution or not, it’s clear that providing it is implemented correctly CRM will deliver significant benefits across the whole organisation.

Customer Service or Helping People Purchase

Submitted By: Peter Irvine
Customer service is all about helping people to buy or use the services we offer. We are solving people’s problems!

We can spend so much money on marketing to attract customers, yet ignore those right on our doorstep!

Our current enquirers – those who call, visit the website or store as well as those who use our products or services regularly are our “hot” customers. Don’t spend money on attracting more until you can look after these people well – give them a reason to come back again and again or recommend you to their friends.

I want to cover some basic keys that are often ignored when helping customers to buy.

Vision:

What does vision have to do with customer service? – If your ‘vision’ is just a statement on the wall that everyone ignores, then nothing!

Have a vision your staff can believe in

A vision they can be passionate about and live out when helping people. People respond positively when they hear real conviction – the staff believe in your product, they know all about it and are confident to advise, even suggest other worthwhile purchases.

Keep the vision alive

Don’t forget to remind the team, keep training and encouraging them with how it is progressing.

Develop a 'YES' face:

Customers are quick to pick up on negative ‘vibes’. Most people tend to gravitate that way – it's why the media is full of bad news – bad news sells! However bad news doesn’t build your sales – if you show a negative or disinterested ‘face’ to your customers and staff it will turn them off buying anything.

What you listen to, watch and read will affect your attitude

Think for a minute - when the alarm goes off in the morning for many of us the first thing we listen to is death, destruction and the bad economy! No wonder we are miserable at the breakfast table, it’s no surprise we are cranky when we get to work with staff and customers! What we listen to comes out in the ‘face’ we present.

Learn to listen to things that will build you up, positive messages and practical advice – develop a 'yes' face.

A 'Yes' face wants to help and attracts people

Yes – I can do that! Yes – I can help!

Challenge yourself to see how many customers and staff you can get to smile today!

Don’t we all want to buy from the people who cheer us up? – purchase is as much about relationship as it is product or price. If I feel good about the person I speak to, I’m much more likely to come back again or share my experience with others.

Start solving Someone's problems today - help them buy.

Part 2:

"If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a new horse" - Henry Ford

With customer service, we need to think outside the square - lead change - be the change. Good customer service is going beyond what would normally be accepted.

A sign out the front of a door saying 'We provide great customer service' is not going to cut it today, in fact it could backfire on you because people’s expectation is that they will be serviced when they go in to look or buy.

To stand out and be memorable start thinking of innovative ways to go the extra mile with customer service in your business.

Some more areas that will affect customer service.

Passion:

If you or your staff are just there to get by and pay bills by earning a few dollars until the weekend, then you will reflect that attitude at work. We’ve all worked with people who count down the hours till knock-off time, they’re not ‘there’ to help people, they totally miss sales opportunities, don’t want to do anything extra and affect everyone else’s attitude as well. The COO of the Ritz Carlton hotel group says he is staggered by age 27, how many people have effectively retired. They hate their job and have no passion for what they do.

Hire on Attitude, train in skills

Look for people that are passionate, because when they have enthusiasm, they provide outstanding customer service and have a great "Yes" face as they deal with people.

Build Your Team:

Ray Croc who founded McDonalds, said "None of us is as good as all of us".

When you operate together as a united team, you can build a strong business and provide outstanding customer service.

Look at how each area of your business performs - eg. If you have a really good sales team, but delivery, or follow-up service doesn’t measure up, you will lose repeat sales. If your product is great, displays good and delivery prompt but the receptionist is slow to answer, doesn’t ring back and has no enthusiasm, you’re going nowhere!

1. Get the right people into the right places
2. Include everyone in team progress meetings
3. Keep lifting up the vision - bring the team on the journey
4. Look for ways to recognise and reward great customer service

Keep Learning:

We learn till the day we die. If you are not learning, you are not growing.

Learn how to become outstanding - not only will you be sought out as providing good customer service, but you'll be more valuable as an employee - both the business and your job will bring greater $ returns.

Get hold of good training material on customer service, CDs or books, talk to others who do it well - learn what works for them. In the US 3% of people have a library card and 6% believe that Elvis is still alive. So you can see the priority isn’t learning! Don’t you be one of those statistics.

Be innovative, every business is different and there will be ways you can give customers outstanding, even unique service that no one else offers.

Make your business (your department or job role) memorable in the way you help customers buy.

Need to Redefine the Global Imbalances

Submitted By: Himfr Tian
The U.S. government the U.S. balance of payments deficit is defined as the global imbalances, and, accordingly out oppression and encourage appreciation of the renminbi exchange rate fluctuations of the prescription. However, according to my "credit system - Virtual economy - general equilibrium model of the real economy," the current global economic system, economic system or human performance of the most fundamental imbalance between the two aspects. First, from the global economy as a whole, is the virtual economy and a serious departure from the real economy. Second, from the global economic structure, is the center of the virtual and the real economy to create a serious departure from the center of wealth creation.

Focus on global imbalances reflected in the global monetary and financial center of manufacturing centers and rapid separation. Manufacturing Centre has decisively shifted to developing countries, especially to Asia, the focus is China, monetary and financial center is still controlled by the developed countries. In other words, the East has a real center of wealth creation, the Western control of monetary and financial center; Oriental manufacture real products, the West and create purchasing power of money; Eastern manufactured products around the world, the West is the world pricing; Western issuance of bonds and the creation of a large number of various financial products, Oriental will use their savings to buy the financial products; Eastern Savings, Western consumption; East thrift, Western extravagance; West to the East to borrow money, the East to the West financing.

Present and future, Western developed countries, macroeconomic management is the main contradiction facing huge budget deficit and debt problems, and China there is a surplus of social mobility and how to effectively manage the problem. Only China has this problem solved, I believe China's macroeconomic management will not be a big problem. Especially his on how China to actively promote international monetary system reform, focus and improve the international coordination of monetary policy, specific measures, to the point, Gangjumuzhang, admirable.

Virtual economy and real economy away from the true center of wealth creation and financial products to create a departure from the center, is the basic pattern of the global economy today is the economy over the past 40 years, the strange history of the human phenomenon, unprecedented. It is all the major global financial crisis and the overall macro-economic root causes of problems.

A fundamental consequence is that the Western economic system in the virtual economy or the financial size of the rapid economic expansion, increasing the financial economy or the formation of a self-expanding virtual economy, self-loop system.

Meanwhile, the real economy and the employment rate has remained low. Atmosphere of the whole economy is very strong speculative gambling. However, the virtual economy or the financial economy is highly unstable system, its operation depends on expectations about the future and the central bank's monetary policy, a sign of trouble, you can instantly collapse.

Once the collapse of the virtual economy, virtual wealth is shrinking rapidly, people are extremely optimistic about the expected switch from extreme pessimism, financial institutions, entities and individuals all the family was forced to "deleveraging", sluggish consumption and investment weak. Ending up virtual economy, the real economy worse, recession and depression is almost natural law. Substantial expansion of the quantitative easing monetary reason is invalid, because no matter how rampant the currency, it can not help financial institutions, entities and individuals repair household balance sheets, not help them, "deleveraging" process. More importantly, money can not solve the flooding has long been deeply rooted in Western economic and social structure rigidity problems, such as the aging population, the minimum wage and benefits system is totally rigid, high government deficits, debt-ridden society. The latter is the real economic growth restriction biggest problem.

U.S. Tax Cuts Can Reduce the Pressure on the Fed Policy of Quantitative Easing

Submitted By: Orietta Qi
The progress in advancing the tax cuts also contributed to the U.S. economy, economists more optimistic about the prospects for recovery, has recently announced a number of agencies have raised the growth forecast for the U.S. economy, many people think that U.S. economic growth next year, more than 3.5 %.

U.S. Department of Commerce data show that the first three quarters of this year, U.S. economic growth was 3.7%, 1.7% and 2.5%. Institutions is widely expected this year, the U.S. economy may be around 2.8%, 3.5% difficult to achieve this in the Economist seems to be more significantly reduced the level of unemployment.

Overall, many economists expect tax cuts may result in economic growth next year, the United States increased by 0.5 to 1 percentage point, and significantly reduce unemployment. Feiluo Li, chief U.S. economist at JP Morgan 7, said Obama's tax cuts to reach an agreement with the Republican Party, U.S. economic growth next year may bring increase of no more than 0.5 percentage points. He said that all tax cuts promote the role of consumption, is expected to drive economic growth in the United States in 2011 from the previous forecast of 3% to 3.5%.

Decision Economics economist Xinnai company also put on the forecast for U.S. economic growth next year, increased 0.5 percentage points to 2.75% to 3%. Deutsche Bank economists said that the payroll tax reduction policy may increase output next year, 0.7 percentage point, the bank expects U.S. economic growth next year will reach 4.1%.

Goldman Sachs economists said the new tax cuts to stimulate the scale of 2011 brought more than expected before the bank has 185 billion U.S. dollars per cent more, and does not include provisions related to corporate income tax.

Tax effect of alternative "QE3"?

The United States to increase efforts in tax cuts to stimulate, to some extent, to the Federal Reserve to continue to launch large-scale quantitative easing policy reduced pressure. Last month, the Fed announced that it will in the next year before the acquisition of 600 billion U.S. dollars in U.S. Treasury bonds. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said last week, does not rule out further expand the scale of asset acquisition.

From a financial market performance, investors seem to have the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates ahead of time had some expectations. New York on Tuesday, 10-year Treasury yield was significantly increased, to six new high.

Of the tax cuts to stimulate economic recovery is expected to optimistic expectations, but also propped up the dollar. On Wednesday the European trading, the dollar index surged 0.5% to 80.40 near the 80 recovered a key psychological barrier. This is the third straight day U.S. dollar higher. On Tuesday the U.S. market, the dollar index rose 0.3%. The dollar's strength is also putting pressure on commodity, oil, gold fell to varying degrees on Wednesday.

However, some professionals are not so optimistic about Obama's tax cut strategy. Pacific Investment Management Company CEO, the author pointed out that tax cuts alone can not effectively increase the employment in the United States, the U.S. economy is the need to enhance competitiveness.

Significance of Obama's tax cuts announced, said although significant, but in the end is a product of political compromise, far from "perfect." Moreover, from the program have been included and not included in the two aspects, can see its limitations, although these measures may contribute to economic activity, but not the most efficient way to stimulate the economy, it is difficult to resolve within the United States income imbalances.

In the long run,that the U.S. economy's biggest problem is the decline in competitiveness. Still subject to U.S. competitiveness and education infrastructure behind, and resource allocation is not coordinated.

European Leaders Collective Into Political Crisis

Submitted By: Himfr Tian
Some economists believe that loose monetary policy may be the last straw to save the euro, the euro has not reduced the risk of collapse, if the spread of inflation, the euro is even more dangerous situation. "

The first anniversary of the European debt crisis, the situation has not improved. On the one hand, the ECB large number of "pouring money" efforts to rescue the euro; the other hand, hedge funds and major financial institutions to make trouble and took the opportunity to make the debt crisis everywhere in the euro zone. Today, Ireland, Hungary, Spain, Italy and Portugal have a default risk, if this situation can not be checked, "spreading the money" inflationary pressures caused by the euro will eventually fall apart.

16 countries in the euro zone finance ministers meeting, the parties may formally approved the 85 billion euros for Irish aid programs, but opposes the expansion of 750 billion euros of the rescue fund size. This agreement was the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the criticism, but also to help the United States bent on Europe's "hot face" a cold butt paste.

From the beginning of this week, IMF President Kahn has been working to persuade the euro-zone finance ministers to expand the scale of relief funds, or allow the ECB to issue sovereign bonds in the euro zone to resolve joint debt crisis, but the central bank members felt that a second round of pressure on banks Testing is more important than the issuance of bonds.

December 7th, Kahn, after meeting with Greek Prime Minister Papandreou said that if the leaders do not want to adopt the euro zone to provide relief IMF proposal is best to ask themselves a viable option. Kahn believes that the EU needs is a package of relief rather than intermittent, "throwing money", "relief is not sporadic, so there will certainly be more countries into a debt crisis."

But the German view that the euro area have been built very strong safety net, save enough to save 750 billion euros in crisis countries, the most important thing is to stabilize the financial system.

Dutch investment bank ING chief economist Karsten Buzesiji commented: "Germany will be led by the euro-zone finance ministers threw the hot potato of the European Central Bank, the central bank will face unprecedented political pressure." A European Central Bank of anonymous sources, the central bank did not want the debt crisis by issuing bonds to save the country, they want the best capital increase through the IMF and the European Union.

Leaders of the collective settlement crisis

European leaders of the political crisis more serious than its debt crisis. The leaders of Greece and Ireland for support for debt restructuring and "downsizing" program plummeted, unless the other leaders did not touch the interests of the people while maintaining economic growth, or Portugal, Spain, Italy and Hungary, the country's leaders must face severe political crisis. German Chancellor Angela Merkel will become the most affected, because she is against expanding the scale and help the leaders of the central bank bonds. European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet is to take the seats are also afraid of instability, intention of pushing him to step down countless people.

With the spread of the debt crisis, the euro under the weaker economy will certainly drag down export-oriented economies such as Germany, the pessimist believes that the collapse of the euro is from the "unthinkable" to "inevitable." European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet said Dec. 2, to continue its benchmark interest rate at historic lows of 1%, and the banking sector to provide long-term liquidity measures for a further extension of 3 months, this decision is called "quantitative easing policy of the United States of the European miniature." Some economists believe that loose monetary policy may be the last straw to save the euro, the euro has not reduced the risk of collapse, if the spread of inflation, the euro is even more dangerous situation. Eurostat November 30 published data showed the euro zone the month annualized inflation rate was 1.9%, unchanged from the previous month. This means that the inflation rate has been 2% for two consecutive months approaching the warning line.

Who Can Give Other European Countries to Provide Recovery Momentum

Irish rescue plan, although not perfect, but it does for the troubled banking sector, a fast solution. 850 million euro rescue package, the 10 billion euros will be used to replenish the capital adequacy ratio, 25 billion euros will be used for future reserves. While the European Central Bank (ECB) was also positive to maintain low interest rates, continue to implement monetary policy, extending the duration of liquidity support measures from April 2011.

At the same time, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke also said that Treasury purchases will continue, but did not clear the amount and duration of purchase. It appears that the two big countries in Europe and America heads the wrong decision.

Funds were originally expected to weaken as the risk of a double-dip recession, the U.S. policy of quantitative easing transmission to the stock, which is the time to cash income, and now does not cast a look earlier. As a long-term investors, after two years to share the fruits of liberal policies, should really think about: Germany Can the momentum of recovery in other European countries? Emerging market bonds continued to outperform developed countries, but investors are held as short-term or medium-term objective it?

Cash receipts before Christmas?

Recent statistics show the United States, the U.S. economy continues a moderate recovery. Consumer spending increased more than expected in October, car sales grew by 5%. University of Michigan consumer sentiment index rose, in particular the significant decline in unemployment claims indicated that the labor market is gradually repair process.

Despite undeniable signs of recovery, but the U.S. economic performance is still disappointing. In the previous post-crisis recovery process, the gross domestic product usually takes 5 to the first quarter, after declining more than the previous height, the longest period of seven quarters. Until now, the subprime crisis has been 11 months, GDP is always below the level in 2007. Previous crisis recovery of economic growth to 1 / 3 speed forward, the unemployment rate in the government fiscal policy stimulus is surprisingly high in the second quarter of 2007, total employment is still down 4.6% compared to the end, more than the 1.9% decline in OECD area more serious.

If there is no Bernanke came out from the last month you should "Jiaodimoyou." Because the "double bottom" of the risk of disappearing in the short term, the Fed decided to continue the quantitative easing monetary policy purposes, these factors have been conducted to the price of financial assets, investors will certainly take profits.

Europe: Only children believe in Santa Claus?

As expected, the three-quarter euro-zone economic growth slows, GDP grew only 0.4%, an increase of 1.9%. These data suggest that Europe is still fragile after the crisis period. In fact, the slow growth in the third quarter, the market was long expected, since the end of June before the economic recovery is not sustainable.

More worried about economic growth within the euro area from the gap. While France and Portugal meet the region's average growth, high growth in Germany, but there are still economic recession Greece, Spain and the Netherlands were flat, Italy is also facing a recession. Short-term this situation will continue.

Taking into account the European sovereign debt problem, the next quarter's economic growth is still not very optimistic. Plus 10% of the rate of unemployment, stagnant credit markets are struggling to rebound, make inventory process that is slow but the end is about to close. In short everything indicates that recession is far from over.

Germany could be pulled out unless the plight of Europe, for now, Europe's largest economy is the only growth engine in Europe. However, it has formed a German exports to stimulate capital investment, increase employment and encourage consumption of a virtuous circle it? Investors can not forget the consumer in recent years in Germany have developed slowly. If you have a climax this year's Christmas spending, then the increase in signal established.

Emerging market bond yields upward pressure

Long-term interest rates in the rapid increase in more than a week. 10-year Treasury yield rose from 10 in early low of 40 basis points, creating the highest level of 3 months. 5-year yield increase, but only ten Nisshin record high. Mainly due to slow U.S. economic growth is expected to re-aggravate the PIGS countries sovereign debt crisis and avoid the more intense will.

Emerging bond market can not avoid upward pressure on yields. However, the author draws investor attention is: spread remained stable. The same applies to sovereign debt. Compared to developed countries, emerging market fundamentals better make emerging market debt, the economy in the context of this tension is more flexible, which in the past is not always the case.

Also, from a more technical point of view, emerging bond market, some new problems, take some time to digest them. Since the beginning, the amount of new sovereign debt issues more than 720 billion U.S. dollars, the amount of corporate debt issues more than 1,800 billion U.S. dollars, and may first time this year over 200 billion U.S. dollars mark.

In this case, the face of upward pressure on interest rates further, the author suggests should be cautious in the short term. In fact, over the past ten days, the rapid increase in yield long-term bonds when the weaknesses exposed. I continue to firmly recommend the emerging market debt, it can still provide good benefits and an attractive risk-reward ratio.

European Debt Internal Devaluation Strategy Inevitable

Submitted By: Orietta Qi
Germany's leaders must recognize that the edge of the country's banks in the euro-zone exposure on the national debt very critical condition. Their boss and voters must be allowed to believe that public funds for debt restructuring and re-injected to provide bank guarantees is a necessary condition for internal depreciation policy; since Germany urges other EU countries have adopted this strategy, it should shoulder the duty to guarantee responsibility

"It was just the Greek crisis", "It is only in Greece and Ireland crisis", people who did that, but now I can not, because it clearly is a crisis in the euro area. To deal with it, expect more than is usually the only easier, but also more difficult.

Economic crisis reason is quite simple. Greece's fiscal problems. Ireland's banking problems. Portugal's private debt market problems. Spain, there are problems in these three areas. Although details vary, the conclusion is the same: these countries have to undergo painful cost-cutting process.

To counteract the side effects of austerity, the usual approach is to reduce domestic support and the combination of currency devaluation. Depreciation will increase export competitiveness, which is to take external demand to fill domestic demand.

However, these are euro-zone countries, which have no independent currency may depreciate, so they can only be used to replace the internal depreciation of the external depreciation. They must cut wages, pensions and other costs to increase export competitiveness, to expand the effect of external demand.

In fact, these countries tighten their belts resolve the crisis is not small. But not as an economic variable and the adjustment of other variables change, that is, public and private sector debt. The book value of accumulated debt the government has not changed, the bank debt - owed to ordinary creditors except than some of the debt, basically unchanged.

Is the simple fact that engulfs the internal situation devaluation strategy: the more cut wages and other costs, the burden of accumulated debt is relatively more important. Heavier debt burden, the more have to cut public spending, raise taxes to meet the government and its surround and protect those (such as banks) debt. This in turn requires more internal devaluation, further pushing up the debt burden, and so the vicious circle of recession will drag the economy.

Therefore, to make internal devaluation strategy worked, must find ways to reduce the debt face value. Government debt must be restructured; bank debt must pursue debt-equity swap, the bank shall be canceled when insolvency; mortgage debt must be written down.

Policy makers do not want to go this route, which is understandable. Contract sanctity. Government is concerned about dishonesty in the financial markets. If mainly from foreign creditors, especially foreign banks, to write down will only hurt the other countries.

These concerns can not say that does not make sense, but not resulting unreasonable conclusion. Way out only two: the internal or external depreciation depreciation. European heads of state must be a second election. They unanimously ruled out devaluation of the road outside. However, debt restructuring within the depreciation of the necessary requirement. Deny this, not only unreasonable, but also illogical.

Debt restructuring is simple and clear. Government can issue a number of debt with face value of the existing debt by a certain percentage discount on face value. Bondholders can choose to either uphold the hands of convertible bonds at face value, but late maturity, lower interest rates; or to accept less than the nominal value of existing bonds, discount bonds, earlier maturity, interest rates are high.

First, the new bonds to the bondholders to ensure safety. Out for these bonds have been secured. 80s of last century, according to the implementation of the Brady Plan debt restructuring in Latin America, the play "security big brother" is the U.S. Treasury. Today, the International Monetary Fund and the German government to take up this responsibility.

Finally, the debt restructuring, the bank suffered losses, their balance sheets must be consolidated. These banks need to put to the true pressure testing, rather than engage in the kind of red tape earlier this year. If the debt restructuring indicates that lack of capital, the bank debt would have on the overall debt-equity swap. If that was not enough to be out by the government to face the bank capital injection.

It also requires a unanimous action. Once the bank's balance sheet strengthened, it is possible to re-mortgage debt, bank debt and other private sector debt and Buzhi Yu shake up the financial system.

Now, we said that the biggest difficulty. All of this requires strong leadership. Germany's leaders must recognize that the edge of the country's banks in the euro-zone exposure on the national debt very critical condition. Their boss and voters must be allowed to believe that public funds for debt restructuring and re-injected to provide bank guarantees is a necessary condition for internal depreciation policy; since Germany urges other EU countries have adopted this strategy, it should shoulder the duty to guarantee responsibility.

In short, Europe's leaders, especially the consequences of Germany's leaders have to say a little more seriously - to do so would doom. Because the fact is the case.

Cancun Climate Conference the Main Theme of Pragmatic

Submitted By: Himfr Paul
Last December climate conference in Copenhagen, representatives of the parties anger is not small, the meeting war of words, seemed busy and tense atmosphere of the meeting. However, high expectations for the meeting has not brought more progress. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also admitted that in the past few sessions of the UN climate conference, people always have high expectations, hoping to reach their satisfaction with the results, but last year's climate conference in Copenhagen proved that expectations may not be associated with the final result.

The meeting is expected to reduce the efforts to achieve meaningful progress, the Government of Mexico hosted a conference in Cancun primary consideration. Whether the conference level, or the negotiating agenda, promoting methods, all show that the organizers of the care and thought.

The first weeks of negotiations in a calm and orderly environment. Chairman of the two ad hoc working group on the basis of discussion in the previous were out of the new negotiating text.

How to Purchase Office Furniture That Will Increase Productivity

Submitted By: Simona Rusnakova
When working in an office there are many things that can cause a distraction. The best thing to do in order to increase productivity is to look at the office furniture. If the furniture in the office is right then distractions and disruptions will be kept to a minimum. Additionally certain office furniture will help your employees work better, faster and longer.

Office furniture

There are a number of things that fall into the category of office furniture that you need to know about. There are also a number of things you have to think about when purchasing these items. Some of the items in this furniture category will include desks, chairs, bookcases and filing cabinets. Some considerations you need to take into account when buying furniture is the needs of your business.

Of course you will have to think about the current needs and future needs. When buying a desk think about what your employee has to place on it. Will there be a computer as well as space for files? Will there be a central filing area where all the filing cabinets are going to be or will each office have their own?

Office fit-out

An office fit-out is something that many businesses look at when moving into new premises. The reason for this is that a fit-out can often be cheaper than getting the furniture singularly. Additionally, the design of the office is also taken into account with a fit-out. If this is done correctly then distractions and disruptions will be minimized and there will be space to implement changes in working practices in the future.

There are different types of fit-outs that you need to know about as well. One type is a shell and core where the core areas are not rented to a business. Category A fit-outs do not actually have a standard definition and vary depending on the contractor. Category B fit-outs will include things like installation of offices, conference rooms, furniture, IT and AV installation and tea point or kitchen fit-out.

Office chairs

When people work in an office they sit for the majority of the time. Having comfortable office chairs is essential to productivity. Having chairs that ca be manipulated is ideal for your employees. It is particularly important that the chairs can be raised as injury can occur if you are not at the correct height in relation to your desk. The need to reduce repetitive stress injuries is why many people will invest in ergonomic chairs.

Office tables

Office tables will include a number of things like desks, conference tables and training room tables. Of course it is not imperative that all these tables are present in the office. When choosing your tables you have to think about what the people sitting there are going to do. This is particularly important for desks. Conference room tables have to be large enough to accommodate everyone as productivity may be lowered if this is not the case. Additionally, desks have to have space for computers, files and miscellaneous objects or you may find your employees have to constantly get up to get something.

Office furniture can play a large role in the productivity of a company. If the furniture does not suit the business or it is not laid out in the correct manner distractions and disruptions will follow.

How To Express Your Ideas To Your Creative Team

Submitted By: Cameron Hawkins
For those of you who have to deal with a creative team on a daily basis or for those who have need of dealing with a creative team in the near or distant future, getting your idea to the creative team and getting the finished product back from said team the way you want it, and in the shortest amount of time can sometimes be quite a headache. There are barriers such as miscommunication, lack of explanation, and just plain conflicts of vision, that both you and the creative team must work around. I myself have been on both ends of the spectrum and have gleaned some very useful tips on how to get exactly what you want out of your creative team in the most efficient manner.

1. Draw a picture

This may seem very elementary and quite frankly kind of stupid, however I have found that many creatives are visual people. That too may seem like it should go without saying, however it perplexes me when I see someone simply try to explain in words how they want something designed or the way they want something to look. I know the whole reason your hiring these people is so they can do the drawing/designing/creating, however as the saying goes, time is money. Doing something as simple as drawing a rough sketch of what you want can greatly decrease the time gap from start to finish of a project. You don’t have to be a Picasso or a Stan Lee to do the sketch. Just a little something visual can spark the creative juices of the team that will make the difference between a one month completion date and a two week completion date.

2. Share your inspiration

Usually when you have a project come up that you feel needs to be implemented, there is some kind of inspiration that triggered that need in your head. Maybe you saw an interesting billboard on your way to work from a competitor company, or maybe it was a website you visited that made you think “Hey we should do that”! Whatever it was, that piece of material was obviously of high enough quality to catch your attention and spark your interest. Share that inspiration with your creative team. Don’t leave them in the dark about what brought on this project. When you show them your inspiration, they can look at the same thing and see what about it caught your attention that needs to be implemented in your project. Once again, this could considerably cut down on the time your project sits in the “shop”.

3. Find something similar to compare it to

This goes along with the previous type. If nothing you can remembered actually brought on your inspiration for the project, find something similar to what you are looking for. This could play a big part in getting the “feel” of your project right the first (maybe second) time. When one person says they want something to feel urban, for example, that could mean many things to many different people. Finding a piece that has the specific urban feel can get rid of any questions or misinterpretations the creative team may have.

4. Be decisive and say exactly what you want

I have been a part of projects where the client has something very specific in mind, but in an effort to be nice (which is very appreciated), they do not express their wants or disapprove any of the drafts brought to them. This does not help either party. The client walks away disappointed and the creative team loses your future business and perhaps the business of those you tell about your experience, all because there was not ample communication of the wants of the client. You should always be personable and amiable with your team, but not to the extent that you never veto an idea or draft. If the team brings you something that does not meet the standards, the feel, or the needs of the project, send it back and explain why it was not up to snuff.

Whenever you have need of a creative team to complete a project, you should have a good experience, where your needs are met and your business is positively affected. These tips can help make sure you have that experience time and time again.

Nobel Prize Winner Economic Theory Difficult to be Recognized

Submitted By: Jerri Lily
Has 70-year-old American economist Peter early 60's in the last century began to pay attention to the employment rate of unemployment and social problems, and finally this year for its achievements in this field, and two other economists won the Connaught Bell Prize for economics, but there is news that the "employment experts" in their own career path has encountered some "little obstacles", to serve in the U.S. Federal Reserve probably no small difficulty.

Authorized by Congress in difficult economic theory

Although companion to share the 2010 Nobel Prize in economics, economic theory, but Diamond is difficult to get the U.S. Congress approved in April Obama had into the Federal Reserve, the Senate proposal was rejected.

Diamond's opponents question its practical experience, and does not endorse his conclusions. From Alabama's U.S. Senate Banking Committee Richard Shelby, senior Republican lawmakers is one of the opponents of the nomination. Shelby in an interview yesterday, said that despite the Nobel Prize in Economics is an important recognition of Diamond, but the Federal Reserve System Who is eligible to serve on the Committee Management "is not a decision by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences."

Shelby acknowledged Diamond was a "skilled economists," he also recognized expertise in tax policy, but Shelby said, Diamond on the "so-called monetary policy", that is of national economic regulation and control interest rates and other economic growth, employment and inflation, the lack of macro-economic policy context means "not ready" as the central bank managers, "I believe, by a need to learn on the job determined by the management of monetary policy will not be useful uncertainty in the immediate environment. "

The White House in April, including Diamond, including the nomination of three candidates for the Federal Reserve, and the remaining 2 were approved last month by the Senate, and only Diamond has not yet approved.

Obama even behind the Diamond

And opponents point of view contrary to the United States of Economics, University of Chicago finance professor at Jaap even behind Diamond. Kashyap believes that the Diamond is qualified as a member of the Fed's argument "is simply absurd." Obama again stressed that the Senate approve this proposal. Obama said that he had been into the Federal Reserve because he wanted to "extraordinary professionalism" play to the U.S. economic recovery.

Diamond on the 11th a press conference held in the morning, said he did not intend to withdraw from the list of candidates for Federal Reserve members.

Diamond in the early 80s of last century is one of the study concluded, the Government benefits made unemployed, not in a hurry to re-appointment, be patient to find a suitable job, which pulled up the unemployment rate. Some Republican senators have agreed to Diamond's views, arguing that the U.S. government since the recession began, the implementation of the various unemployment measures to make people lack the motivation to find work, causing the unemployment situation not improve.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said, the economics prize was awarded to Diamond and two other economists, because of their research findings so that people understand the "rules and economic policies on unemployment, vacancies and wages of way." The 80's and 90's, the three scholars are widely used to solve the problem of high unemployment in Europe. One conclusion is that the reason why unemployment in Europe's unemployed, because they are unemployed for too long, workers have the skills to degradation, so they are hard to find a job.

Diamond believes that the U.S. is also likely to fall into the same vortex, he believes that the United States should create new jobs as soon as possible. "The new fiscal stimulus program is clearly to do," Diamond said. His view has been supported by many Democrats.

Nobel Prize selection process may be facilitated

In the Federal Reserve, its research expertise on employment have been repeatedly mentioned, but also because his view is clearly biased toward Democrats, the current policy, which "offended" the part of disaffected Republicans.

In the occasion of the midterm Congressional elections, the nomination of the Diamond was rejected again. Many Republican senators pointed out that the Diamond lacks experience in the formulation of macroeconomic policy.Senate Banking Committee Chairman Dodd said Congress reconvenes after the midterm elections, when he would hold new hearings. Some analysts pointed out that the Nobel Prize, the Diamond the opportunity to greatly increase access to the Fed, which also made against him into the Republican members of the Fed's very embarrassing.

White House deputy director of the Economic Commission for Jason Furman breakfast meeting in Denver, the Republicans were criticized. "I hope, that a handful of Diamond into the Federal Reserve Board against the people who see evidence of ability to permit Mingdaimengde there will be." Furman National Association for Business Economics in the United States made the comments.
