Knowledge Management

Posted by jomillergo on July 13, 2008

Knowledge Management
By Kristy Annely

Knowledge management is an upcoming field of management, which focuses on maximizing business performance by making the most of the synergy between people, processes and technology.

It deals with issues critical to organizational adaptation, endurance and expertise in the wake of progressively more sporadic changes in the environment. In effect, it stands for organizational processes that engage a synergistic combination of data, information technology and the creativity of people. In other words, the knowledge aspect of business should be considered critical to it and should reflect in strategy, policy and practice the overall functioning of the organization.

Moreover, knowledge management is all about establishing the link between an organization’s obvious and implied intellectual property and positive business outcome.

In practice, however, it involves an organization recognizing and mapping its intellectual assets, creating knowledge for competitive advantage, making large amounts of business information available, and allocating the best practices and technology that facilitates all of the above, including groupware and intranet.

Knowledge management is not easy to define precisely or simply. It is a complex domain, like management itself. However, there are noteworthy connections between knowledge management and many popular management practices and strategies, including best practices, change management, benchmarking and risk management, to mention a few.

Largely, the business community also sees knowledge management as an accepted extension of business process reengineering. Most recent business strategies accept and recognize that information and knowledge are its assets, and policies, strategies and tools are needed in order to manage those assets.

The need to manage knowledge cannot be denied, but not many have acted upon that need. Wherever knowledge management is being implemented, it may stretch from technology-oriented methods of gaining access to, managing and delivering information, to substantial efforts at changing the organizational culture.

Management Theory – No Simple Solutions

Posted by jomillergo on July 13, 2008

Management Theory – No Simple Solutions
By R Heller

The problem with any management theory is that there is no one correct answer. There is no all-purpose philosophy that will suddenly transform a failing business into a successful one. But that doesn’t stop managers being taken in.

Shareholder Value is one such management theory that developed into a cult. Numerous companies were enticed into the notion that managers must take care of investor interests via dynamic policies to drive up the share price ad infinitum.

Why Projects Fail

Posted by jomillergo on July 3, 2008

Why Projects Fail
By Thomas K. Casey

if you stay around long enough, sooner or later you will be asked by your boss to participate in your company’s latest, critical, red hot project. The ‘survival of the organization’ depends its success, and it gets kicked off with great fanfare and emotion.

Then reality sets in, and the project manager is charged with executing the plan. Trouble is, the plan is usually faulty from the get-go and, despite all the skills and resources brought to bear, the project comes in late, over budget, or not at all.

“So what went wrong?”, everyone asks. Actually, any number of things that are common to many large scale projects, be they construction, information systems, enterprise re-engineering or product development. They can be classified as follows:

1. Executive Level Non-Support

When a project begins, the entire executive team shows their support for the new project. Of course, the CEO is also present. Gradually, as the effort affects each of their domains, some Vice Presidents will approve changes to the overall plan, seriously impacting the schedule. All executives must stand behind the project plan if it can have any chance for success.

2. Improper Staffing

This falls into two categories: (A) unqualified staff, or (B) insufficient or unavailable staff. Most often, in these days of downsized operations, it is the latter. John and Mary are “dedicated 100%” to a project, yet they are unrealistically expected to perform their other duties as well. Sure, overtime is a solution, but a poor one. I have NEVER seen a project succeed when overtime is pre-scheduled into the plan. Outside resources or consultants are the best alternative when in-house staff resources are inadequate.

3. Poor Project Management

Very few skilled managers ever get the opportunity to manage a project from inception to completion. As a result, most assigned project managers lack the experience in handling the broad range of problems that arise during the course of a project. This lack of experience, coupled with “100% dedication” (see #2 above), manifests itself in poor project leadership and control. I have long been a proponent for using an outside resource to augment the project manager’s skill base and availability. Why put a project in jeopardy simply to save some dollars in consulting fees?

4. Unreasonable Completion Dates

I have never understood why, but management in its wisdom will declare target completion dates, or worse…DEADLINES, even before a project plan is constructed. This is akin to planning a vacation destination, with no idea how you will get there. The worst culprits are financial executives, who insist on everything being done “by year end”.

5. Poor Project Planning

Constructing a project plan is a complex combination of resources (both people and dollars), calendar, task dependencies, skills, training and change control. While many tools exist to assist in this process, it is the analysis of an experienced project manager that is needed to develop the plan and smooth out its deficiencies. And a plan is never completed, because it is updated at least weekly, thus changing the entire project timeline and the overall schedule.

As you can see, many variables come into play during the course of a project. Next time, please don’t shoot the project manager!

Leadership vs. Management

Posted by jomillergo on July 3, 2008

Leadership vs. Management
By Mark Shead

Management skills are a necessary subset of the skills of a leader. Some people claim to be leaders, but not managers. Usually they consider themselves a visionary. If you look up visionary in the dictionary you’ll find:

visionary – noun. One whose ideas or projects are impractical.

This is a very good definition of someone who wants to be a leader but doesn’t want to participate in any management functions. Leadership is determining where you are going and management is determining how you are going to get there. Without management leadership is ineffective. Leaders who accomplish things without any management skills do so in spite of themselves. They would be much more effective as leader who practice management. Read the rest of this entry »

How Oasis Claims Management can help you claim compensation

Posted by jomillergo on July 3, 2008

Had a car crash because the guy in the red car pulled up too fast?? Broke a leg because you were doing what your boss told you to do?? You know that in such a situation, the law entitles you to claim compensation for damages but don’t know how to proceed?? Well here’s a solution for you. To the rescue are claims management firms like the well known Oasis Claims Management. Such firms assist you by looking after the legal attributes of your claim.

This is how Oasis Claims will try to help you. Legal solicitors will be assigned to protect your interests and to make your claim as strong as possible. In some situations, if your claim is considered to be a “no win no fee agreement”, then you don’t have to pay any fees to Oasis and receive 100% of your compensation. What is important to be noticed is that there is a time period in which the claim has to be made. your claim will be considered valid only till three years from the date of accident. In case of minors( people below 18 years of age) the claim is valid till you turn 21 years old. Lets get into details of how things are going to work.

A team of legal solicitors will be assigned to you. These solicitors will first investigate your claim by asking you to describe how you got injured. After taking your statement, any witnesses of the accident shall be interviewed and their statements recorded. A doctor will be arranged for so that a medical report describing the extent of your injuries is prepared. Finally, a ‘letter of claim’ is prepared and sent to the person responsible for your injury (the negligent driver of your employer as the case may be).

The difficulty lies in the process of actually quoting an exact figure as damages because there are unique aspects to every accident. However, the major factors contributing to the exact amount of compensation are the type of injury- whiplash, head, back, chest etc and the time it would take for the injury to heal completely. Then there is another category called “special damages” which might be anything from the transportation charges for visits to the doctor to whatever financial losses you are likely to incur due to your injury. Oasis Claims help you to methodically calculate a suitable sum as compensation for your loss.

Having gathered all the required information, the final step is to send a formal or legal notice to the party responsible for your accident (the negligent driver or your employer). This task is handled by the solicitors from Oasis. In addition to this the solicitors also negotiate with the responsible party so as to obtain the maximum possible compensation for you this part of the process involves the legal advisors or insurance agency of the other party. The insurance agency is provided three months to stake-out the case and investigate the validity of your claims. Thus, the insurance agency has to claim that their client is responsible for the accident or not. Following this, a suitable compensation is decided upon. However, it is possible that no agreement is reached on who is responsible or how much the claim is worth. In this situation of conflict, the case moves on to the civil courts and the court hears all the arguments and decides upon a suitable solution. Thus, Oasis Claims Management guides you professionally at every step so that you can obtain the maximum possible compensation for your loss.

Personal Injury Compensation claims in the UK can be made when you have suffered injuries in an accident. Free consultations with a lawyer are available to discuss whether you have a claim for any accidents that have occurred. Visit http://www.oasis-claims.co.uk
