We cannot plan the project or meeting for that date, it’s month end. We definitely can’t do training now, finance is up to their ears preparing for month end. The last week and the first week of the month are no go dates as finance will be drafting financials. We don’t have that information yet, finance is still finalizing the financials for last month.

Rapid growth. Two words usually associated with increased profit, improved output and enhanced business performance. Right? Not always. (more…)
What does value mean to you? To me it’s extremely personal as the perception of value will differ dramatically based on one’s personal taste, experience and cultural background.

Parents, especially those who had kids later in life (as I did), will occasionally find themselves explaining things that make them feel…well…ancient!
