If you’re putting together a display for an upcoming convention or trade show, consider these three rules: keep it simple, keep it colorful, and keep it dramatic.Conventions and trade shows generally take place in huge rooms, and small, overly busy displays can get dwarfed by the surroundings and by other displays. Your display needs to be sized proportionally to fit well with the other displays, and whatever lettering and photos or other art work incorporated into the display need to be seen and read or understood from across the room. Be sure to add plent

A career in the lock and key or locksmith industry can be a rewarding one. So how do you go about becoming a locksmith and what should you expect form the job. This article will give you some information on becoming a locksmith professional.First lets talk about the job itself. Locksmiths are involved with many parts of home, auto and business security. They might be involved in installing and maintaining security and entry systems. They may also be involved with installing new locks, re-keying locks, installing safes, making keys and just about anything th
Whilst over 60% of businesses will be looking to implement some form of business improvement initiative over the next 18 months, less than 1 in 4 of these change programmes will achieve any worthwhile results that are sustainable for a further 12 months post the introduction of change.
This brings into focus two key problems:
1. Some 40% of businesses are not planning to introduce any form of change, even though it is likely that there will be significant changes in their markets.
2. Only 15% of all businesses will be successful at implementing and then sustaining their change programme, whatever type of change is introduced.
This gap in success is a major issue for the long-term performance of UK PLC, but more importantly is a potential short-fuse time bomb for individual businesses.
Shifting Sands
The reason for not planning to change is a major problem with many causes, but the reason for failure of a change programme can be put down to three main causes.
- Skill Shortage
Failing to invest in obtaining suitable skills relevant to the changes being introduced and/or failing to carry out sufficient skills training.
- Management Motivation
The prevailing management style of the organisation will either hinder or support change, and sadly in most cases it hinders change. This can be seen through management inconsistency and perpetual crisis management that deflates the efforts to change.

Stay in business long enough and you’ll most likely develop friendships with some of your employees. Maybe not a close friendship but one that gives you and them a comfort zone that differs from when they were first hired. As more trust is built or gained through ongoing working relations, usually everyone lowers their guard a bit and begins to settle into a “working relationship”.It’s not an uncommon practice or unusual expectation to offer a key to your Office Manager or a key personal assistant (no pun intended). In fact, I’ve found it to be quite nor

CMF – The PMT for business
CMF or Change Management Failure is as we have already seen a very common problem in industry and is often surrounded by frustration, arguments and expense, and avoiding CMF is the full-time remit of the change management professionals and involves four key steps:
1. Understanding the ‘battlezone’
The most important step in a change programme occurs before any decision is made about the type of change or its intensity, focus or cost. The first step is to understand the organisation through cultural assessment, understanding the management motivations and prevailing management style and then understanding the ‘hard’ angles of change – amount to spend, key reasons for change, availability of skills etc.
2. Highlighting the leadership path
Once the basic ‘battlezone’ is understood, the next step is to work with the management team to plan the implementation process, including how it will be communicated, managed and how success will be recognised. The element of communication and the communications strategy cannot be understated in this process.
3. Developing the internal skills
Long-term success of a change programme is a function of ‘Communication, Educati
