In 2007, Gartner wrote about how companies should start up Business Process Competency Centers (BPCC) or Centers of Excellence (CoE).
They told us that the BPCC acts as an internal consultancy and offers a “one-stop-shop” providing services to multiple business process management (BPM) initiatives that enable the enterprise to progress with BPM efforts overall. This paper gives practical guidance on how to gain adoption within your organization and deliver tangible results…..…

A long, long time ago…. (Well actually not that long ago), a relatively large telecommunications company only went to market using alliances. They were a wholesale player. That’s all changed now, now they are selling through alliances AND directly to their end enterprise customers. Begs the question, why?
If they specifically used alliances as their go to market strategy since the time of their inception, it may lead some to think they weren’t managing their alliances effectively…

Introducing iPAR MindReader.
Whether the setting is business, family or just everyday life, you are often seeking another person’s buy-in, support and/or cooperation.

It seems to me that we have more experts around today than at any other time in world history. A day doesn’t pass without some expert appearing on television, radio, newspapers, magazines and/or the internet to proclaim some future occurrence that will dramatically impact our lives. Some of the recent proclamations have caused me to wonder if some, most or all of these experts are nothing more than modern day version of Chicken Little. Consider the following recent events.
Census…

President Obama's unique oratory has captured the imaginations of many Americans. Unfortunately, his talent has inspired speakers to try to imitate his style rather than be themselves. The results have been (you should excuse the expression) "Obamanable." Yes, his rhetoric is larger than life when addressing tens of thousands of people. But even President Obama now uses a more intimate, one-on-one, humorous, confident and personal manner during town hall meetings and press…

Strategic Alliances - to me that means alliances that are intended to produce revenue for the involved entities as a result of the alliance as opposed to from each other.
Strategic Alliances can take a long time to build and then you follow that with your sales cycle - which may be long itself. And, strategic alliances are not guaranteed to succeed. So there is risk of time, money and brand.
Alliances like many other worthwhile endeavours can be a combination of art and…

1. Develop a passion for selling. If you have it already - use it - relentlessly. If you cannot develop a passion for selling - find out why and fix it.
2. Find a commission only sales rep! This can work but only if you have a passion for sales yourself. Please avoid the damage to your brand, your prospects and to your survival as a business if you see this primarily as a cost savings method of Direct Sales.
3. Develop and implement a sales methodology. Here is one…

Anyone that's been patient enough to endure my ranting has heard me pose the following sequence of questions?
Do you use a GPS? (Most people admit to knowing about a GPS and many use them - especially when out of town or going someplace for the first time or a long distance)
What did you use before the GPS was invented? (Most people say MapQuest or some other form of online maps)
And what did you use before MapQuest? (Many people say they had a book…
