Feeding the Small Business Ecosystem
Forgive what may seem like a bit of a theoretical argument today. Sometimes you have to step back and get a sense of the biggest picture in order to understand how all the simple, practical parts relate.Small business is often held together with sweat, creativity and a heavy use of duct tape. (In case you ever wondered where I came up with the term Duct Tape Marketing.) That's the outer reality of small business. The inner reality, the part that most don't see and even the owner of the business might not understand, is more like a living breathing ecosystem.I didn't really excel in science in school, but to me the parallel is obvious. In an ecosystem, the many parts are dependent upon each other for success. In a small business,

Restaurant Employee Theft
Restaurant owners don’t run a cash machine 24/7. They face the reality of being observed by thieves undercover and this alone is a serious threat not only to the business but to the safety of the management, staff and customers. The most difficult part about this harm is there is no certain point one realizes that there is a thief lurking around the corner waiting for the right time to attack. And the sad part about it is there are a big percentage of theft casualties done by employees.Yes, that’s right. Employee theft is one of the serious threats that a restaurant owner has to accept. Each year, there is an estimate of over $52 billion loss because of this reason. The percentage is up to 95% and the numbers already indicates a high ri

High Definition Update - Paul Wheeler Interview

In July 2005, I wrote an E-Zine with the headline “High Definition – When?” At the time we saw little demand for HDCAM equipment aside from some clients in the U.S. Seven months later, the situation has changed dramatically. We added two Sony HDW-F900 HDCAM camcorders (Sony’s top of the line HDCAM camera for television and/or cinema) to our stock in January 2006 because of growing demand and see this as the beginning of a trend. And we have just taken a booking for a multi-camera shoot in March with six HDW-F900s.

Interview With Paul Wheeler – Soon Available on DVD

With this increase in demand, we recently hired Paul Wheeler BSC, a highly experienced film and digital cinematographer who wrote the book, “High Definition & 24P Cinematography”, to run some workshops for us. While he was here, I interviewed him. We are going to make available DVDs with an edit of the interview. If you’d like one, contact me at cal@procamtv.com.

BBC – Drama and High Definition

One of my first questions to Paul was about the apparently sudden leap in demand for HDCAM. Paul’s response: “Five years ago the BBC was saying within two years everything they record will be on high definition. Three months ago they said everything we record in two years time will be on high definition so trying to predict what happens is very difficult. The BBC who wanted to move in that direction haven’t moved as fast as they wanted to. But that’s not a technical problem. That’s a problem with persuading producers that using a new technology

How To Manage Your Business Projects Effectively
One of the certain aspects of working life is that unexpectedly you can be assigned a project to do. In fact if you are building a business of your own you will have long-term projects that are essential to its profitable development.But in order to ensure the smooth and successful running of your business it's vital to have efficient systems in place to deal with these projects. Most of them will have deadlines for completion at some point in the future. But it is how you deal with these deadlines that will determine how efficient you are at managing your business.The simple thing to do is to schedule the project in your diary for perhaps a few days before the completion date, even if it is several weeks away. This is a big mist

Electronic fund transfers is an innovative technique used to transfer money between concerned parties. This is relatively secure and efficient system that supports electronic payments and collections via electronic signals transmitted by wire.

For these transactions to be valid, people need to follow EFT payment instructions.All across the world companies are selecting electronic funds transfers over other transaction tools.

However, it is compulsory for these corporations to provide EFT payment instructions to concerned financial institutions before any tr

Will YOU Be A Lawsuit Target This Year
The USA is home to over 75% of world's lawyers and 90% of the world's lawsuits. We’ve all seen those disgusting television ads urging audience members to file claims and lawsuits. One out of every five people in the U.S. will be involved in a lawsuit, and if you’re a business or property owner your chances go up considerably to one out of three.WHY SO MANY LAWSUITS ?Some say it’s because we don’t spay and neuter trial lawyers and that’s why they’re ‘overpopulated’. Others blame it on the American cultural penchant for blame and finger-pointing over life’s unfair outcomes. Whatever the reason, it just makes sense to reduce the risk of being served with a lawsuit and to increase th

ey said everything we record in two years time will be on high definition so trying to predict what happens is very difficult. The BBC who wanted to move in that direction haven’t moved as fast as they wanted to. But that’s not a technical problem. That’s a problem with persuading producers that using a new technology is safe. And I think this year (2005), we’ve just begun to see the confidence in the system and I’m very hopeful that we’re now going to see a cascade effect. Where a couple of very expensive period dramas have been done on HD, they look exactly like very expensive period dramas. And that to me is a huge starting point that I was hopeful would have happened a couple of years ago.”

Sky TV and High Definition

Sky TV has also said they are on track with plans to launch HDTV in 2006. BSkyB's Chief Operating Officer, Richard Freudenstein, said recently that the dramatic improvement in picture quality would help BSkyB achieve its target of ten million customers in 2010. "Innovation and technology leadership are at the core of the Sky brand," he said. "By introducing HDTV, our ambition is to raise the bar again.” BSkyB expects that sales of "HD Ready" TV sets will accelerate as equipment prices continue to fall and the availability of HDTV programming grows.

Nonfiction and High Definition

Paul says the increased use of HD in documentary and factual programming has been stronger than in drama. “We have had more factual programmes made in HD than we have had fiction and I think the main drive there is this fact that you can sell it round the wo

One of the biggest challenges companies are facing is the attraction and retention of top performers. Top talent want to work for the top companies. Money isn't everything to top performers. Ongoing coaching, retreats and training are crucial to top performers. Be on top of your competitor's practices around attraction and retention of top performers.

Whether or not the company you work for offers yearly celebrations, there comes a time in every business when get-togethers arise. Sometimes, the occasion calls for the popping of champagne, while others include a simple spread of cheese and crackers.

Corporations have many constituents. But they seem to play to only one audience - the investment community or Wall Street. Any business is made up of workers, supervisors, managers and executives. They also have customers, suppliers and in many cases dealers or distributors. They have facilities in cities, towns and communities. Some have factories and others have only offices. But the fact is that all corporations touch the world they operate in beyond the narrow confines of where they raise money through investors - or Wall Street. So why do almost all corporations decisions revolve around how Wall Street will react? Are there alternatives?
