Technology:

At some point, your IT equipment will no longer meet your needs - either your business will outgrow the equipment, the equipment will become too slow, or the technology will become outdated. Something needs to happen.?

But you're on a tight budget. You can't afford to replace your PCs and other it that electronic equipment with brand-new models...or can you?

Chances are, things have changed in your business since you acquired your IT equipment. Your business may be growing faster than expected (good for you), and your equipment just isn't keeping up. Or you're facing challenges that require doing more with fewer resources.

Perhaps it's time to boost productivity - both yours and your employees - by automating some processes or improving collaboration with anytime, anywhere access to customer data.?

Or your business may now be required to comply with new regulations mandating (授權(quán)) additional security and storage. Maybe it's time to boost customer responsiveness or reduce operating expenses. ?

Are you or your employees spending more time trying to accomplish tasks?
Is your business using powerful new applications?

Have you added, or are you planning to add, more users to your network??
If so, it might be time to consider upgrading the storage capacity and/or memory of your shared office server (服務(wù)器), or upgrading other network-related equipment.

Strategic planning:

It's a cliche, but change has always been the only constant.?

In recent times, the pace of change has accelerated greatly, and we all need to find ways to deal creatively with this fact of modern life.?

Leaders, in particular, need to face and manage change in a constructive way, but everyone who wants to be successful - in career, in relationships, in life - must learn how to see and manage change the way that successful 'change leaders' do.?

Managing change means managing people's fear.

Change is natural and good, but people's reaction to change is unpredictable and irrational. It can be managed if done right.?

Nothing is as upsetting to your people as change. Nothing has greater potential to cause faluires, loss of production, or falling quality.?

Yet nothing is as important to the survival of your organization as change.?

History is full of examples of organizations that failed to change and that are now extinct. The secret to successfully managing change, from the prospective of employees, is definition and understanding.?

Resistance to change comes from a fear of the unknown or an expectation of loss.
The front-end of an individual' s resistance to change is how they perceive the change. The back-end is how well they are equipped to deal with the change they expect.?

An individual' s degree of resistance to change is determined by whether the change as good or bad, and how severe they expect the impact of the change to be on them.?

Their ultimate acceptance of the change is a function of how much resistance the person has and the quality of their coping skills and their support system.?

Your job as a leader is to address their resistance from both ends to help the individual reduce it to a minimal, manageable level. Your job is not to bulldoze their resistance so you can move ahead. (" Like a bulldozer ~ like a tank ~ like a soldier~ ")

Send out fliers, put up a banner outside, etc. to promote the name.?

Look for something unusual about what you do, and publicize it. Send out press releases to local newspapers, radio stations, and cable TV stations, magazines whose audiences are likely to be interested in buying what you sell.

Be sure to post the press releases on one or more online press release services, too, being sure to include links to your website.?

To increase your chance of having the material published, send along a photo (but not to radio stations) with your press release.?

Offer to be a speaker. You will benefit from the name recognition, contacts and publicity you gain from being a speaker at these events.?

If your product or service is appropriate, give demonstrations of it to whatever groups or individuals might be interested. Or, teach others how to use some tool you use in your work.?

Put videos of your product or service on YouTube and other video-sharing and slide-sharing sites.?

If you use a car or truck in your business have your business name and contact information professionally painted on the side of the vehicle.?

That way, your means of transportation becomes a vehicle for advertising your business. If you don't want the business name painted on the vehicle, consider using magnetic signs.?

If you are put in charge of a project you need to do more than just setting the motion and check in at the end.?

It's important to monitor the progress of the project, so you will know if adjustments need to be made to get it moving back in the right direction.?

To effectively monitor project progress, you must understand its objective as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the personnel involved.?

Step 1： write down your goals for the project and when they should be met.
Step 2： make a list of personnel and responsibilities assigned to each individual participating in the project.
Step 3： divide the project into segments. It will be easier to track the progress this way.
Step 4： hold regular meetings. Choose an interval that works for you. Ideally, you should select a time that corresponds with the completion of each segment. Assess the project's progress. If a team member or members have fallen behind or have run into obstacles, formulate a plan for identifying and solving the problem.
Step 5： update your records as you complete segments and meet goals. If you are on time or early, you are in good shape. If you're significantly behind, you'll need to make adjustments.
Step 6：make the necessary adjustments to keep your project on track. Reassign tasks, modify schedules or reassess your goals. This will help you keep moving toward the finish line.
