...Strategic Planning that Works: The ArchPoint OGSM Model By: Amy Lazarus, Partner, ArchPoint Consulting & Stephen Peele, Managing Partner, ArchPoint Consulting Having a sound strategic plan is imperative to survive in today's highly competitive, global marketplace. At ArchPoint, one of the best tools we have found for building a strategic plan that resonates with all levels of an organization is the OGSM Model (Objective, Goals, Strategies and Measures – see Figure 1). The process of creating an OGSM allows your company to 1) clearly define its objectives (both in purpose and financially), 2) crystallize key strategies & initiatives, 3) assign owners and due dates, and finally, 4) build a one-page living document that can be the roadmap for OGSM Model: Framework for all future planning reviews. Alignment & Management If you have not done an OGSM session with ArchPoint Consulting, it may seem like the proverbial “black box”. What exactly is it and how will it help my organization? Since over 50% of our consulting engagements involve OGSM work, this article condenses what happens over the course of a few months into a few paragraphs to give you a better understanding of the process and to let you judge for yourself if it might be worthwhile for your business. Figure 1 The first question: When do you need an OGSM session? If your organization is lacking a sustainable strategic planning process or if your goals and objectives do not align with an existing strategy, OGSM...

...FILIPINO FOOD STREET October 25, 2011 // By Caryl Estrosas Posted in: Asia // Food / Drinks // Philippines When in Rome, do as the Romans do—an advice fitting for any travelers visiting a foreign land. So, when you are in the Philippines, testing your palate with the Filipino street foods, while not necessary, is commendable. Not only would it be fun to try the unique local dishes, but it is a great way to immerse and understand the Filipino culture. It is easy to spot street food vendors; where there are churches, schools, recreational parks, or jeepney terminals, you will also see kiosks, makeshift stalls, or food carts. In suburbs, you will see vendors or hawkers with their bicycles or push carts almost everywhere. Street food is a way of life for many people in this part of the globe. It is a source of income for many Filipino families—some vendors testified that their street food businesses enable them to send their children to school. For students and working adults looking for inexpensive meal, street food satisfy them for just half-the price of a meal in any popular fast-food restaurant. Instead of dining in a restaurant for an authentic Filipino dish, why not go out in the street and have a quick bite. There is nothing more authentic than those food in the streets—untouched with the modern culinary flair. You will not only get to enjoy the food, but you get to join the locals who are eating with much gusto. Let you save couple of...

...HOW TO MAKE CREATIVITY CONTAGIOUS Stefan Stern. Management Today. London: Mar 2004. pg. 52, 4 pgs Abstract (Summary) Companies may identify fresh thinking as a core value, but this doesn't square with a corporate strategy in which minimising risk is seen as a virtue. How can an organisation adapt its culture to embrace innovation? If only the good Lord could look down as kindly on the creative efforts of us mere mortals. But that is the trouble with creativity and the Creationist mythology that underpins it: we are constantly waiting for the next miracle. In business, you will wait a long time for miracles. Coming up with new and successful ideas requires effective management and hard work -perspiration as much as inspiration. What are the real challenges that businesses and organisations face if they are ever going to unleash the creative genius lurking within their walls? 'Every company I meet has identified innovation and creativity as core values,' says David Walker of international creativity consultancy Synectics, 'but around 90% of them do nothing about it. Their behaviour just doesn't allow creativity to emerge.' The problem here is fundamental. The processes that businesses have traditionally wanted to hone and develop on the path to operational excellence run counter to creativity itself. » Jump to indexing (document details) Full Text (2612 words) Copyright Haymarket Business Publications Ltd.

...Log Section 1 - Two reflective entries Reflective entry 1: New Beginnings Deciding to attend university as a mature age student was a decision I did not take lightly. I am working towards furthering my education in order to gain the necessary qualifications that will help me in my future business endeavour. I have found that after so long out of the education system it has been a difficult transition juggling study and work. The first units that were chosen for me in study period 2, I thought were difficult to understand having never written an essay before and without the knowledge or know how, I was not able to complete these units. SSK12 has given me a good understanding of what it takes at becoming a university student and in particular the skills on writing essays. As I have mentioned previously up until study period 2, I had never written an essay and did not fully comprehend how important the set out of a university essay was. Choosing an Essay Question was an important part of my learning in week 6 because this has now given me the beginning step in writing a university essay using the correct format. I am feeling a lot more confident when approaching the subject of essays as I now understand and have the knowledge on the procedure in completing an academic essay and what is required. I now know that by firstly choosing a question will then help you to with your thesis and this in turn will give you your main idea and sets the way in which to write...

Children begin learning the basics of retelling in kindergarten where teachers start to informally assess the students' overall understanding of a story. Retelling is a useful assessment tool throughout school because it can measure simple to advanced comprehension, as well as help the students improve their listening and speaking skills. Instructions 1. Review retelling strategy. Model it again for those who may struggle. Read a short story aloud to the class, then summarize the important details in the correct sequence. Write each summarizing statement on chart paper. Number the statements so students understand how to retell in the order that events happened. 2.
