Your first Step in Achieving Expert Status
Posted by: | CommentsIn every industry, there’s a powerbroker in the background an advisor who is known to just a handful of people, but who helps build empires for the top “stars” who are household names.
I discovered such an advisor. Her name is Janet Switzer — and for the last 16 years she’s been quietly creating empire-building campaigns, products, promotions, deals and distribution for many of the biggest celebrity experts you’ve heard of. Jack Canfield…Chicken Soup for the Soul…David Bach…Jay Abraham…Mark Victor Hansen…Les Brown…Yanik Silver… All these stars have been her high profile clients.
I have been using Janet’s system and found it to be the quickest way to gain expert status. She has an unprecedented 21-day program to guide through each of the steps it takes to build your own empire around your area of expertise is unlike anything I’ve seen — ever.
You can experience the same advice and expertise Janet’s famous clients enjoy, when you participate in this FREE 21-Day Client Acceleration Course. The 21-Day Client Acceleration Course is a strategies, marketing campaigns, documents, product creation techniques and other action items that have transformed the careers of clients that routinely pay this information and advice. At first I was a little perturbed, I paid for it! But the results were well, outstanding.
This is the outline, I use in developing your Expert Status. The 21-day Client Acceleration is simply a great place to start and is actually serves as a great primer for the Business901 Achieving Expert Status program.
What a White Collar Kaizen Team can learn from Scrum
Posted by: | CommentsIn my recent discussions on White Collar Kaizen, one of the issues that seem to migrate through the conversation was the need for a process owner to insure that the Kaizen initiative was carried out. In the non?manufacturing world the teams are so cross functional and organizations are so "siloed," that the claim is that it would throw the organizational chart out of whack. As I listened to the conversation my thoughts wandered off to the description of a Scrum team. If you are doing Kaizen and looking how best to implement and sustain your next Kaizen Event you may want to review these team principles.
I have been told to think of a Kaizen Event as one large PDCA with several mini PDCA within it. Sounds like one big Iteration with several smaller Iterations… Could Scrum be similar to PDCA?
