...1.1 – Person-centred care is a way of thinking and doing things. It means putting the individual and their families at the centre of decisions and seeing them as experts, working alongside professionals to get the best outcome. Person-centred practise is all about having a focus upon individual’s needs. Every individual has different needs, wishes, choices, likes and dislikes. We must treat everyone fairly and respect their dignity and privacy at all times. We cannot stereo-type or tarnish everyone with the same brush even if they have the same religion, disability or alike in any other way. Despite what they may have in common, every single person is an individual and should be treated like one. 1.2 – All approaches to person-centred practice work well and personally I don’t think there is a particular ‘best approach’. When used correctly, every approach will have the same benefits and outcomes. Also different approaches would work better in some work placements than others the same as work better with some individual’s than others. Below I have compared just a few different types of approaches: Essential Lifestyle Planning. (ELP). This plan looks at: - what people like and admire about the individual - what is most important to the individual - the communication - how to provide the support - identification of successful methods - how to solve problems and/or overcome any barriers ELP is a good for a day to day basis.

...profiling, Organizational performance Introduction Market segmentation is according to many textbooks, one of the fundamental principles of marketing (Kotler, 1997). Marketing theory suggests that businesses adopting a market segmentation approach can enhance their organisational performance (Kotler, 1997). Market segmentation is grounded in economic pricing theory, which suggests that profits can be maximised when pricing levels discriminate between segments (Frank et al., 1972). One reason for the widespread acceptance of the approach is the belief that organizations cannot normally serve all of the customers in a market. The leading textbook by Kotler (1997) states that, ``Customers are too numerous, and diverse in their buying requirements''. The implication is that segmentation helps to homogenize market heterogeneity and coincidentally allow for improved organisational performance by targeting specific segments of the market. Thus customers who have been aggregated according to similar buying needs and behaviour will tend to demonstrate a more homogeneous response to marketing programmes (Choffray and Lilien, 1978; Wind, 1978). The marketing literature identifies a range of benefits for businesses pursuing a segmentation approach. The underlying logic is that segmentation can enhance marketing effectiveness and improve an organisation's ability to capitalise on marketing opportunities (Beane and Ennis, 1987; Weinstein, 1987). This is partly because segmentation builds...
