Since ancient times women have been viewed, in many cultures, as men’s inferiors physically, morally, and intellectually. Today, in western cultures, women enjoy more freedom and equality than ever before in history. Despite the gains made by women in recent years, particularly in the U.S., many women worldwide sti

A mutual fund could set a benchmark as a target for the performance. For such a fund, one that is 100% focused on the stock-market, the benchmark could be a stock-market index, like the Dow Jones. For individual portfolios that carry more than stocks only but include currencies and bonds, it is more difficult to define an appropriate benchmark.

And that is exactly the problem with benchmarking as a performance management instrument in organisations. How are you to measure a performance if every company is unique and wants to deviate from the standard?

And that is exactly the problem with organisations. How are you to measure a performance if every company is unique? Benchmarking is done to compare activities with the objective to improve these. So how do we translate the financial adagio, “If we beat the index, we have done well,” into an organizational counterpart?

Benchmarking you company against peers is sheer impossible; a small difference in focus, product offering will make an overall comparison useless.

So you should step down to get more focus and therefore a reliable or credible benchmark. For instance you could visit three sales teams and use the one with the best results as a benchmark. The other two will try to improve their sales using the benchmark as the best

Professionalism
Always be professional, do not fall into the old friends trap, you will lose more than you will ever be able to gain back. I have had a few occasions where I was doing business as a consultant and I was asked if I could attend a social event to celebrate the success of the project. I was pleased that the company ha

Beyond the Basic Job Interview - Personality and Skills Assessments
Whatever happened to the days where getting a job meant mailing a resume to a few dozen different places and waiting to be called in for an interview? Once you got your foot in the door, all that was left to do was impress someone sufficiently enough to get a job offer. Pretty simple stuff, relatively speaking. A l

The 12 Blocks to Listening
There are twelve blocks to listening. You will find that some are old favorites that you use over and over. Others are held in reserve for certain types of people or situations. Everyone uses listening blocks, so you should not worry if a lot of blocks are familiar. This is an opportunity to become more aware of yo

u should step down to get more focus and therefore a reliable or credible benchmark. For instance you could visit three sales teams and use the one with the best results as a benchmark. The other two will try to improve their sales using the benchmark as the best practice. Yet the three sales organisations differ slightly. One sales team is focused on active clients, the other on clients that you offer additional services. A benchmark would do more harm in this area, because it will flatten the differences your company introduced to increase overall sales. Instead of having three teams you just as well may go back to having only one.

The problem of a benchmark is also present for mutual funds managers because they can deviate less from the market that they might want to. But an organization could do this. If you have set a strategy they only way to implement this is by setting the benchmark according to the strategic rules. That is not by observing others, but by benchmarking against your own profile.

For the market sake you could add some market condition indicators that level the (benchmark) outcome with the market situation; these should be in line: a positive market outlook should increase the level of the benchmark.

The outburst of contact centers in the Philippines caught many people by surprise. This is because of the flexible sevices that is offered by people in the Philippines.

So often consultants will claim to have worked with 20, 50, 100 or even more Fortune 1000 companies and you will see this listed as a fact on their websites or they will tell you this when trying to sell you as a client. Of course if you ask them to name the companies, instead they send you a list of 5 contacts or references? Really, five now, personal friends or actual clients?
