The Peasants

September 18th, 2011

Occupying proactive, we are on their own were "nobles", and all the rest of the group – "the peasants". By assumption, the "nobles" had to earn their money as follows. Their income depended on the number of sit-ups: one squat – a monetary unit (one playing card deck). Like anything complex, but my director at the time was in an interesting position, squat, it could not, therefore, all the hardships of making money in full got me. I figured out its possibilities, I realized that, squatting in the usual way, many do not earn, and came up with squat on one leg "pistol." My strength was enough then to twenty such sit-ups, and if well "Bargain", it could try to "break the bank." As a result, we became fabulously rich, I managed to get four and a half out of five decks of cards available.

The game is over. The coach later admitted that during his many years of practice as "creatively" no one has ever squatted, he was ready to give me all the cards. Go ahead, gentlemen! Before the crisis your business was in a groove, in the struggle for survival need to look very different ways. To to soberly assess the situation, you need to stop thinking the way you think. And if you want to change something, you have a different way of thinking and acting outside the box. Want to see new people in your team? Then carefully specify requirements for the candidate, who would like to see in the ranks of his comrades. Realize that you must first lateral thinking and creativity, Assistants – then the focus of attention will be focused in finding on this.

A search process – this is two-way street. In one direction you're moving with your expectations, the other – a potential candidate who has some idea of their abilities and opportunities. Among the huge number of resumes sent to you will diamond is small, since formed a manager will send you my CV just in case his interest to the proposed work. You will have to be patient and do not spend a single interview, before you find your "House". And when you find, will increase the chances of his company to make a qualitative breakthrough. It is possible that a company can not only survive, but win! Daredevils who are ready to take on the work of this extraordinary and independently thinking person, as Dr. House, there was never much, but as they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained. You're not from timid? Now you have a dilemma in addressing the shortage of top-notch managers: look for a manager or a permanent job, or seek help from a team of inter-managers, consisting of professionals in their of different, creative-thinking managers. The choice is yours.

The Company

September 18th, 2011

The company will remain afloat with young professionals who carry out a full range of installation and implementation of equipment to warranty service and training. The choice of these companies allow the customer to do their job safely and save time and money by not hiring different companies for individual stages. Consumer learned to do the calculation for long periods and now very rare when a project is done with the expectation of 1-3 years, customers now need to use the project with minimal cost of 10 years, and he is ready to invest in business development. Another observation in favor of companies with young professionals. Companies have also become younger customers groups, and managerial staff, and managerial.

And now a very different approach to the selection of supplier. To a greater extent is selection on the Internet, and only after a personal touch, that is, the process looks like. There is a search from multiple vendors for a certain type of product at the lowest price, then the study supplier to the question of technical equipment and technicians to the question of implementation, further search reviews about the company, since now almost all of this is the internet and if company had cheated, then it immediately there. And only after that happens a personal touch, and again a common language with each other quickly find young, rather than build young – old. And the actual ending. There is a natural selection for companies with a competent and visionary leaders and well-coordinated team of young employees, will not be any unpleasant surprises.

IBM Rational Customer

September 18th, 2011

System has lived and grew up a half years. The time has come the introduction of IBM Rational. Customer gently suggested that he build process is not necessary. It is only necessary automate existing. An appeal to logic, informed sources and the higher powers, had no action! The client is sure that he is a process which should be automated. We are selling only two iron arguments “customer is always right” and “who pays the money?”. I had to take receipt of the responsibility for failure and proceed.

Automation CC and CM (configuration management and change management) went into effect. Implementing ClearCase passed without a hitch. No problem – because nothing like the customer was not, the decision stuck. Net versioned repository can cause a seizure just misconfiguration. In this case, everything was “OK”.

ClearQuest is not … It has been introduced, perhaps the first case in our practice, when not even introduced a system of IAs in a chaotic process. Arrange debriefing: So, the customer is tied to the existing system and is not ready to change not only the processes, but are not ready to see other forms of display in the automation system. It so happened to meet project needs to repeat the ClearQuest functionality of the system of the customer. That is to complete the entire process is flawed but in different system – a bunch of megasuschnost and subcontractors. Naturally, the functionality of ClearQuest allows you to do everything. We repeated the functional, as we requested. Only in the end system to use nobody. It turned out that all the flaws became more apparent. The customer, in turn, agreed that the technology does not suit him.

Laser Cartridges

September 13th, 2011

Refill laser cartridges or refill. To the market every six months there are new types of laser printers. If four years ago color laser printer cost a lot of fabulous, and these printers at almost no sale now for two hundred and three hundred dollars you can buy a laser color printer, a fax machine, multifunction device, speed, duplex printing. The process of production printers already well organized and a lot of competition in the market – and this is forcing manufacturers continually improve the design of printers. National Magazine Exchange shines more light on the discussion. But in addition to manufacturers in the market there are category buyers, consumers, produced goods, and who choose which printer to buy or not buy, and not always precious and valuable to coincide with the manufacturer's price and value for consumers, which features some laser printers do not have to never use. As a result, now you can buy a black and white laser printer and a half thousand rubles, but the price of consumables is not going to fall. Why are the prices of consumables and such do not fall high? Because if the consumer is once every five years to buy a laser printer and after five years, change it, then laser cartridges have a feature to end much faster laser print cartridge for printing pages normal quality enough for a half thousand pages, and it ends and have to go buy a new cartridge, which costs more than the printer itself, here the producers and win back their money.

It is not important how many Laser Printer buying consumers, more importantly – what users type on them. Sale of consumables core business of manufacturers of laser printers, the main cash flows come from the sale of laser cartridges. And then appear on the market refueling cartridges that lead away from the manufacturer, these cash flows. If you go into the moral foundations of the business of refilling cartridges, then of course those organizations that involved in refilling ink cartridges come a little unethical to producers of laser printers.
