Deciding what changes need to be made may be the easy part. Communicating the change, and obtaining leadership and employee buy-in may be the greater challenge. With all the change that businesses face, you might think that organizations would know how to handle change and do it well.

What Do Statistics Show?

HR Magazine says that, according to a report by IBM entitled The Future of Banking, this is not the case. The report indicated that, even though the industry expected radical (emphasis mine) change, managing it was quite a different story.

* 15% said they were very successful at managing change.
* 32% said they were successful.
* 33% said they had some success.
* 15% said they had little to no success.

Research by the Corporate Strategy Board of Arlington, VA, agrees that change is not handled well by organizations, citing a 50% failure rate.

The banking industry is far from being alone in the churn of change. The hospitality industry has also endured its share of change because travel is one of the first perks given up in hard times.

“Going green” has become a mantra for business and citizens, but even it has experienced change in the form of lower prices in areas of recyclables.

Given the changes of the past year in the economy, politics and environment, organizations would do well to understand how to better decide, communicate and implement needed changes.

Why Do Change Efforts Fail?

Flexibility

Many organizations are inflexible. They want to implement change with the finesse of a bulldozer. Driving change without the ability or desire to make needed adjustments tolls the death knell for any change initiative.

Flexibility is particularly important for the small business owner. One thing in your favor is dexterity. Small businesses don’t have the cumbersome layers of management, multiple locations, or ensuring compliance with governmental regulations.

A change endeavor, — a new developmental program, reporting procedure, accounting process or customer service initiative — will not fit every department, every procedure, or even each individual customer or employee.

Solution: CEOs should be certain that current procedures and process are understood. Oftentimes the top executive is the one person who lacks the understanding of workflow, tasks and initiatives. Smaller businesses may need to be careful about ignoring needed changes and bring in another set of eyes in order to obtain a clearer vision. Stay current and keep involved, but avoid micromanagement in the process.

strong>Enterprise culture:

Enterprise culture consists in an organizational or social environment that encourages and makes initiative and innovation. An organization with an enterprise culture is usually more competitive and more profitable than a bureaucracy. Such an organization is believed to be more rewarding and stimulating to work in. A society with an enterprise culture facilitates individuality and requires people to take responsibility for their own welfare.

Characteristics:

· Enterprise culture is useful for small businesses.

· Enterprise culture is characterized by innovation, creativity, dynamism, and risk.

· It usually requires several of the following attributes: flexibility, initiative, problem solving ability, independence, and imagination.

· Enterprises flourish in the environment of nonhierarchical organizations but can be stifled (stopped from being developed) by bureaucracy.

Corporate Culture:

Corporate Culture consists in the combined beliefs, values, procedures, and atmosphere of a large business. This culture is often expressed as “the way we do things around here” and consists of largely unspoken values, norms, and behaviors that become the natural way of doing things. This culture is typically created unconsciously, based on the values of the top management or the founders of a business.

Physical security describes measures that prevent or deter someone from accessing a location or information. It can be as simple as a closed door or as complicated as a military installation.

In the security field there are three primary elements to physical security; obstacles, alarms and the security response.

Obstacles

Obstacles are intended to slow threats, but will not be sufficient to stop a serious threat. They are stand alone and usually unattended items such as locked doors, razor wire barriers and shatterproof windows.

Slightly more complex obstacles can include:

* Access cards and combination looks on doors

* Doors that must be pulled to enter or exit an area

* Revolving doors or turnstiles which allow one person at a time to advance

* Vehicle barriers controlled by access cards

Having a double set of locked doors is very effective. The first that opens into an enclosed area and the second that can not open until the first is closed. This is a very good obstacle for at least two reasons. Any person entering a double door area knows that exiting by the doors will be very difficult. The second of the double doors is often controlled by an employee who can make a decision to open the door or not.

These double door areas are often equipped with video surveillance and alarms.

Alarms

Alarms are to both alert security response teams and to unbalance an attacker. Loud alarms, strobe lights or bright lights are common alarms.

More complex and interactive alarms include:

* Closed-circuit television cameras with motion detectors

* Roving security patrols

* Guard dogs

* Birds

NISCO Fan Co. offers various designs of industrial fans and blowers for Pulp and Paper Industry.

The paper manufacturing industry utilizes fans for power boilers, recovery boilers, lime kilns, dissolving tanks, and dryers. These applications, which are integral to the production process, are often very corrosive. Reliability and durability of fans and blowers for such applications are vital for continuous operation. NISCO fans for demanding and corrosive applications ofer real value – saving on future downtime and maintenance costs.

BOILERS

Boiler fans create efficient combustion by supplying a consistent and reliable ait flow. Induce Draft Fans (I.D. Fans) operate at elevated temperatures and draw the air stream through the combustion chamber, then push it through pollution control equipment. Forced Draft (F.D. Fans) or Combustion Air Fans push the air stream into the boiler combustion chamber. Multi-Fuel Burning Power Boilers are used to create steam for different power needs. Induced Draft Fans are typically AMCA arrangement 3, single or double inlet with inlet box(es). Wheels often require abrasion resistant construction with radial tip or backwardly curved blades. Combustion Air FD Fans are typicallyconstructed of carbon steel, and utilize airfoil or backward inlined blade design. Common AMCA arrangements for combustion air fans are arrangement 3 and 8, both with inlet vane or outlet damper control.

EXHAUST FANS

Exhaust Fans are typically used on the suction side of a scrubber or fabric filter, and pull the air / gas stream through the piping and cleaning device. Dissolving tanks are used in conjunction with Recovery Boilers to recapture process chemicals. Exhaust Fans draw hydrogen sulfide or sulfuric acid fumes through a wet scrubber. This corrosive atmosphere can require either FRP, stainless steel or alloy construction. Exhaust fans can be in either belt or direct drive arrangements. Lime Kilns may be used to recover lime used in paper manufacturing. The fans used in this process often require high pressure and handle corrosive gas streams. Straight radial or radial tipped blade designs, 304L or 316L stainless steel construction and special shaft seals are often employed.

We are most comfortable in our homes than anywhere else, they are the places where we live out our lives and can be ourselves. We relax in our homes. However, often we pay a high price for the privilege. We spend a large amount of our time outside of home. The irony is that this is most often because we need to going out to earn money so that we can pay for the houses or apartments we love so but have such scant time to enjoy. When you look at it like that it sounds like a raw deal and doesn’t really seem to make sense.

Operating their businesses from home allows many people the luxury of spending more quality time with their families. Working parents, moms especially, are familiar with the pressure that ensues from trying to decide between taking a day out of the office or staying home to look after sick children. On a purely practical note, many parents enjoy working from home as it lets them pick which hours they devote to business and what amount of time they give to their families. All this is flexible, more so than working for someone else could ever be.

Apart from practical advantages and the obvious comforts that working from a home atmosphere offers, there are 3 evident monetary benefits.

Being out of work
can be a demeaning experience for many people, whether it’s due to long term unemployment through illness, lack of jobs in the area or redundancy and even retirement (yes, many people wish to start new careers once they reach retirement age.)
Your New Boss Could Be You

In all of the above cases, one of the most effective and positive ways a person can get themselves back to work is by owning and operating their own business. Especially one that they can work from home.

Anyone who has been made redundant, or been unemployed for a while, or simply just retired will know that it’s not always easy to step straight into another job. And this has never been more true than now, with recession looming many companies simply put a halt on hiring as they try to cut their expenditure.

But what if your new boss was you? What if you could work from home, decide your own hours. It might seem a million miles away from the desolation of unemployment, but it is possible to forge the career path you want and gain the lifestyle you deserve.

At Home, Online, In Charge

Consulting is a superb opportunity for those who are out of work. One really positive aspect is that you can begin right away in the comfort of your own home. That means the transition from not working to suddenly working is made with ease – after all we’re never more comfortable than when we are in our own homes.

Online businesses are particularly suitable to work as home concerns, and as most of us have telephones and at least one PC or some other means to gain access to the World Wide Web in our homes, there’s no call to spend money on specialist equipment. A web consultancy business allows its owner flexibility – no matter what hours are invested the shop never closes, not even on weekends or during the evenings while you are relaxing – your online presence keeps working for you.

Many companies focus on communicating to their external audiences; segmenting markets, researching, developing messages and tactics. This same care and focus should be turned inside to create an internal communications plan. Effective internal communication planning enables small and large organizations to create a process of information distribution as a means of addressing organizational issues. Before internal communications planning can start some basic questions need to be answered.

· What’s the state of the company? Ask questions. Do some research. One form of research is to take a survey. How’s your company doing? What do your employees think about the company? You’re bound to get more/better responses from an internal survey than an external one. Some may be surprised by how much employees care and want to make their workplaces better. You may also uncover some hard truths or perceptions. This information can help lay a foundation for what messages are communicated and how they are communicated.

· What do we want to be when we grow-up? This is where a company can define the culture they want to represent the future of the organization. Most companies have an external mission statement. Why not have an internal mission statement? The statement might focus on customer service, continuous learning, quality, or striving not only to be the largest company in the market with the most sales, but to be the best company with the highest satisfaction ratings.

In times of uncertainty many owners of corporations and LLCs may consider folding up their operations. CPAs and other advisors may suggest dissolving these entities to save on fees and to be done with it all.

But hold on: The “easy” route of dissolution can have significant negative consequences.

In California, for example, shareholders can be held personally liable for corporate obligations arising before or after a dissolution. The rule is found in California Corporations Code §2011. The same rule exists for LLC members pursuant to California Corporations Code §17355.

The deadline for suing corporate shareholders or LLC members in California is either; 1) the applicable statute of limitations period or, 2) four years after the entity’s dissolution, whichever is earlier. Since many statutes of limitations in a business context can be four to six years in length, you may have four years of worries until you are safe from litigation. And don’t think that because you have a Nevada or Wyoming entity qualified to do business in California you are in the clear. California courts are notorious for applying “their” law to out of state entities doing business in California.

So what is the solution?

Do not dissolve your entity. Keep it alive until the statute of limitations period has run.

Here is an example of why it makes sense to keep your entity alive.

Joe owns Merced Consulting, Inc., a Nevada corporation qualified to do business in California. With a downturn in the economy Joe’s consulting business has suffered. His CPA suggests dissolving the corporation and eliminating the expense of an extra tax return. The CPA says his other consulting client Mary has just dissolved her entity.

As recession or depression or a complete collapse of world economy or global trade slows down, there is high hope or anxiety getting the better of people as we go into a new year, we do not want tothe present status quo, we really want things to change, as this is only natural, we hope for the best, the poorest of us want the best in the new year, but we all know that madness is simply doing the same thing overtime and expecting a different result, what this means is that, if in the previous year,you have done things that were not moving you towards your dream or were totally moving you away from your goals or resolution for the year, the simple thing to do is to move away from it and make a turn toward doing things that we hope will make us actualise our goal but the problem is that, many do not even know whether they are making progress or that they are stagnant or even monivg backward, hence their level is the same year in, year out, the only difference is that there is an increase in age.

Basically,to get the best in the new year,you have to take into account, where you are now,criticise yourself,do not allow others to see your fault first,if they do,you will be in the defensive depending on your temperament trying to justify yourself ,though it has been said that human beings can not truely see any fault in his moves but if you take out time to ask yourself basic questions and you want to be honest to yourself, you will definitely see,where you are wrong.Moreover,if you are able to determine where you are now,you will use that position as the launching pad to your next level,men ar in sizes so also your dream of a better tomorrow will not happen at once,if it does,how will tell your story or be able to influence others or how do people make you their model of abetter tomorrow,where you are now,for your nextlevel,do need a new skill,do you need a new set of friends to network with,or do you have to change your job,your business or even the time you wake in the morning.
