Will You Add? - Flexible Project Management
As a prime source for repeat business and referrals, your relationships with customers have to be given top priority. After the sale is made is when you can really strengthen the connectivity with your client. This is the time where you can develop unshakable customer loyalty.Loyalty is having a client that sticks with you, even when your competitors come knocking, because your relationship is so strong. That kind of loyalty will weather all kinds of competitive attacks, even better pricing offers, because your clients are buying you and the value you bring to the table.There are several steps to developing this kind of loyalty. First and foremost, you have to deliver what you promise and more with your product

Call center training takes many forms. The participants can be trained in a classroom setting, by observing other participants on the call center floor, or by monitoring calls from a remote location. A more prevalent form of call center training is computer based training (CBT). Computer based training aims at maximizing the effectiveness of the training experience. Call center training also equips the participants with the basic skills of communication.Call center training aims to build relationship and find out solutions for grievances. It teaches you how to listen, clarify, explain, and manage conversational flow. It also helps to handle complaints, manage upset customers, redress grievances, and hold negotiations
Even on a smaller scale many product development projects tend be misguided in what they will achieve within the planned time frame. There are normally a number of stock excuses for such a failing. These can range from “There was an unexpected change made by the customer”, “We underestimated the amount of time required” or even “We didn’t understand the risks involved”.
In the arena of customer / supplier projects there seems to be an increasing trend to win the project and then worry about how to deliver within the cost, timing and quality later. This normally results in compromised delivery for the customer or sometimes financial losses to the supplier.
In a study by TBC (Tylee-Birdsall & Co) it was determined using the value mapping procedure that most technical design projects could theoretically be completed in half the time if they were managed perfectly and there was no rework required. If we therefore assume that most projects are 50% efficient we can easily bring this up to 80% or even higher if methods to reduce rework and delays were put in place.

Excellent customer service exceeds customer needs (real or perceived) in a consistent and dependable manner.Note the phrase “real or perceived.” This is very important in understanding excellent customer service. It is not your perception of how good the service is that counts. It is the customer’s perception that matters!These perceptions include how customers react to your attitude, your concern for their problems, and the way you handle their questions or service requirements.When you provide service over the telephone, you may speak with the same customer many times. Even though you have never met this person face-to-face, you probably have an idea of what he or she is like. You may ev

It is the occasion that every manager has faced—terminating an employee. Few managers can say that this is an easy part of their job. Terminating an employee is always a difficult and stressful task. In today’s volatile workplace environment this task is even more difficult. The potential for litigation, adverse publicity, and even violence makes the way you discharge workers even more delicate. There are ways to mitigate these circumstances and the termination interview is pivotal to effective workforce management.Timing. There are two schools of thought on when to terminate an employee. One group suggests that employees be terminated at the end of the work week. Terminating employees who deal with

Recently, I faced with several situations where some of my TQM teams are not progressing as it should be. The enthusiasm for more learning and improvement was diminished as compared to the previous project.During my review meeting with the team, I noticed many of my team members were engaged with the company critical projects such as ERP, shortage of raw material, lost of market share, tight expense control etc.Many of them were heavily involved with crisis meeting, ac-hoc meetings etc.I have an organization just embarked with a company wide project. Some of the team members have been assigned full time to the project, while most of them are required to attend the project training provided by the project consult

Many who enter the field of voiceover do so because they believe it to be a snap! Get the script, sit down... and read it. Not so fast! Even the most talented, experienced and professional voiceover talent goes through a process with each script, albeit, that process varies depending upon one's approach, style and (yes) indiosyncracies.Regardless, and I'm sure you've heard this before, voiceover sure beats "digging ditches". No question. But, trust me... it's not as easy as the pros make it seem.What separates the men from the boys (or, in the interest of P.C. - the women from the girls), isn't so much the talent, the experience, etc. It's the daily routine of operating a real business. You may love doing voice
Most project management training courses concentrate on time and risk management. This results in well developed timing plans and generally not so well thought out risk management plans. There are project managers who will try anything to cling on to the timing plan they developed at the start of the project whilst everything else falls apart around them.
So where should you start? Well everything starts with the customer who benefits from the end result of the project. Make sure you understand fully the customer’s expectations for the project. If the project is internal research then make sure you know who all the stakeholders are and find out their expectations. You must also be prepared for expectations to change.
Any project essentially applies a process, or number of processes, to turn a set of data and/or materials into a final product (or products). At each stage different products are created. Therefore a product approach to managing the project can be adopted which is comparable to a manufacturing process. The difference to a manufacturing process is that each project is different. You do not get the opportunity to apply the full project process more than once and therefore it cannot be developed in the same way as a manufacturing process.
This approach is called “product based planning” and is an integral part of methodologies such as P
