http://public-blog.wittybuzz.com/2008/08/20/publicity-repeat-for-results/

As I plan for the coming year, one of my top goals is to actively seek publicity on a regular schedule. Publicity isn’t guaranteed. You can send several press releases and get few results. But one well-placed, well-timed release can result in thousands of dollars in new business. It has happened for me, and it can happen for you, too. But do not expect that writing and distributing one press release will be enough... [Read more]

It won’t be long now. In just two years we will be promised once more that the so-called Youth Vote will hand the American Government to the Democrats. We’ll be told that young voters are fed up, that they are ready for change, and that they are motivated... [Read more]

Often managers have to deliver presentations with unpleasant content. The vice president has to announce that there is a hiring freeze or a downsizing. The human resource director speaks to the employees about a benefits package with fewer benefits. Because executives are often speaking in difficult situations, the more credibility they can develop, the more the content will be considered and accepted. Speakers will have little or no impact on audiences if audience members don’t respect them and what they have to say... [Read more]

http://public-blog.wittybuzz.com/2008/08/23/time-to-spruce-up-your-public-relations/

Better check out the public relations fundamental premise, then take action in your own best interest.____The premise reads this way: “People act on their own perception of the facts before them, which leads to predictable behaviors about which something can be done. When we create, change or reinforce that opinion by reaching, persuading and moving- to-desired-action those people whose behaviors affect the organization, the public relations mission is accomplished.”.. [Read more]

Interestingly enough Public Citizen who generally is supposedly for clean air and against coal-fired power plants has come out strongly against Nuclear Power. But Nuclear Power is a clean way to generate electricity as we know. So what are they up to this time? What is their real motive?.. [Read more]

http://six-sigma-blog.wittybuzz.com/2008/08/22/feel-the-burn-making-project-decisions-based-on-burn-rate/

Every project manager dreads the day when he or she has to make the long walk to the executive sponsor’s office to ask for more money. Unforeseen delays, scope changes and excessive consulting costs are often cited as reasons for the increase, and shallow excuses that these costs could not be divined when the project’s budget was originally developed abound... [Read more]

http://six-sigma-blog.wittybuzz.com/2008/08/23/six-sigma-is-about-more-than-just-number-crunching/

Top executives who know only that Six Sigma is famous and popular have called for the implementation of Six Sigma programs, and, of course, want to see numbers. They may become very enamored with the copious numbers that Six Sigma produces. Unfortunately, they may not want to see more than just a series of reports and may not understand that Six Sigma is about so much more than crunching numbers and generating reports... [Read more]

http://six-sigma-blog.wittybuzz.com/2008/08/24/leveraging-the-enterprise-wide-knowledge-base/

The surety and effectiveness of a Six Sigma project relies heavily on leveraging the enterprise-wide knowledge of the project implementation team. Hoping for the best could hardly have any meaning, provided the team lacks overall knowledge of the goals, customs, and the treasury of knowledge and practices of the overall organization in specific and cross-sector knowledge in general. It is crucial for the project implementation team to know alternative practices and strategies available within the organization, and current status of the project... [Read more]

“Six Sigma has galvanized our company with an intensity the likes of which I have never seen in my 40 years at GE.” Jack Welch admitted this in the year 2000 annual report of GE.

Sounds like Clint Eastwood doesn’t it? “So, do you feel lucky kid?” Anyway, I was thinking more in terms of a general question than a specific situation. I mean in a broad sense, I’ve always felt lucky. No, I don’t gamble. I mean life as a whole. If I listed all the bad things that have happened to me, it would look pretty bleak. Worse than some folks, not near as bad as others. But if I listed all the good things, anyone would have to say I’m blessed! And that’s the way I feel... [Read more]

http://submission-blog.wittybuzz.com/2008/08/15/thou-shalt-not-judge/

Judgement; What does this mean? The encyclopedia definition is, “The process of forming an opinion by discerning and comparing”. The bible says, “Judge not, lest you be judged”, and, “How many times as christians, do we do this?” Are we not to,”judge the sinners?” No, that is not our responsibility. Remember, what Jesus said, ” I have not come to judge, but to save those that are lost”. Jesus, the great I AM, did not come here to judge us by what we looked like. He, came here to save us from sin. So how, “If the great I AM accepts us, can we not do the same for others?”.. [Read more]
