Working in the financial department of a small city has provided me with the opportunity to work within our department in developing an investment portfolio for city funds. We get large influxes of tax revenues and need places to put them until they are drawn down on for operating expenses. Some of the investments are of a long term nature and some need to be short term and liquid. We could never have managed this without our Clarity Project Management Software. We can now keep our small but necessary portfolio on a short leash and know where our money is on an as needed basis.

Generating ideas on your particular topic, idea or assignment is the main idea behind brainstorming. You want to get as much information written down as quickly as possible. One of the most popular brainstorming techniques is called freewriting. To freewrite, you need a pen and paper, or a computer and then you write down whatever it is that comes to mind. This can be short sentences or idea, or one word that comes to mind when you think about your topic. Give yourself a time limit, say 15 minutes to just let the word flow onto the page. Or give yourself a page limit, write down your ideas until 5 pages are full. The key to making freewriting work however is to not criticize what you have written down. Keep writing, even if you think that you are writing nonsense.

Years ago when I was taught project management it was by time line or P.E.R.T. charts. Each required a lot of manual input and for most projects quickly grew to cumbersome unless it was supported by a computer. When I started looking for project management software this time I turned to the people at Blue Pumpkin Workforce management. I did this with complete confidence that if they did not have what I wanted they would be able to direct me to one of their partners that did. It was important for me to do this as I wanted whatever system we picked to be able to work with the Blue Pumpkin workforce planning software we already had installed.

Smart business solutions for the corporate world.

Businesses from all around this sphere are utilizing talent by using Offshore Software Development Outsourcing to get high quality work for a cheap rate. This practice is growing due to the ability to use outside talent for tasks that are not necessary to the daily routine of a business.
For instance, software development while it changes quickly is not part of the daily routine in the business world. This is a venue in which outsourcing on an as needed basis saves a company thousands if not millions of dollars a year.
Most of my IT friends are contractors who work for several businesses because they get paid better than they would if they were on an in house staff. It is a great solution for all concerned.

How does a Vacation Tracking Software Application help?
Filed Under Business :: Management | Leave a Comment
More and more companies are beginning to use applications such as the vacation tracking software. Besides keeping immaculate records of the number of days of vacation an employee has charted, this software also helps to know which employees are vacationing at any particular time. When allocating vacation benefits to an employee, the software will indicate if any other employee from the department is also on vacation. This helps prevent staff shortages. Also, it will help keep proper records of all due vacations to employees.

Filed Under Business :: Management | Leave a Comment
Navajo Nations and their community have been working toward education improvements for their tribe members. Certifications offered through online project management training offer basic tools to learn internet, administration and computer skills. These skills are necessary for almost any career. Offering the option to anyone interested within the tribe helps build their community. Many Nations have been deprived of these great resources so now they are becoming available it’s good to see that Nations are utilizing them. To merge into the working world, this knowledge is important. Some can even offer financial aid for those that need it. These courses are just one of many steps being taken to ensure education and stability in these communities.

Considering Sigma Six
Filed Under Business :: Management | Leave a Comment
Ive been hearing a lot lately about sigma six. Supposedly it’s a great way to build your business into a more efficient operation. sigma six comes highly recommended from a number of people I respect.
Six Sigma Green Belt Training looks like the way to go for us, although it will be a tough sell for upper management.
I know that sigma six was instrumental in the turnaround of a friend’s business. Hopefully it can do the same for us.

The time has come to get more info on Business Process Mapping.
Our company is asking all of us to learn more about process mapping to help improve our efficiency.
I’ve been learning about Process Mapping Definition over the past few weeks, and I think it can really help us here.
I’m not normally one for overly formalized processes, but we’ve gotten to the point where more organization is needed.
Ok - that’s it for today.
