Design is essential to the creation of effective solutions. It includes aesthetics, usability, and the user experience. Several models are employed to direct the design process.
Despite the variety of design models, there are foundational steps that are universal. These include comprehending the problem, generating ideas, prototyping the solution, testing it, and refining it. These stages are the foundation of Design Thinking and enable designers to effectively navigate complex challenges.

Inadequately structured jobs create disputes, negative perceptions, inequality, and frustration among employees. On the other hand, well-articulated jobs, appropriate distribution of work, justified authority levels, and correct estimation of value of individual jobs elevate employee engagement levels, productivity, and job satisfaction. Organized job levels are a sign of effective Human Resources Management function.
The lack of a structured job design—and ill-defined jobs—renders the organiza
Organizations typically focus on Customer-centric Design in their Strategic Planning and overlook the critical driver of Performance, Growth and Operational Excellence—their employees. With cut-throat competition now the norm the realization has become clearer that employees are:
Here’s what you need to know about Process Automation & Instrumentation and its increasing adoption of this system in various industries.

Gradually, there has been a shift in approaches of p
The most resilient and consistently successful companies have discovered that the devil is in the details of the organization. No 
company may ever totally master the enigma of execution. But for them organizing to execute has truly become a competitive edge.
Execution only becomes effective when the company’s DNA is holistically integrated. This means weaving intelligence, decision-making capabilities, and a collective focus on common goals widely and deeply into the fabric of the organization so
Supply chain thinking used to be limited to the managers of a few global companies—companies that were struggling to coordinate 
internal information and materials. This, however, led to an exciting boom in cross-business coordination based on Supply Chain Management concepts.
Today, the field has broadened and shifted over time. Current supply chain trends—differentiation, outsourcing, compression, and collaboration—are being used to restructure supply networks and improve coordination. As more c
Identifying what the market wants is a critical issue for most executives. Likewise, the decision on how much to charge for a product is also crucial for planners. This is where Market Research comes to rescue.
One of the Marketing Research methods that researchers most commonly employ is the Conjoint (Trade-off) Analysis. Conjoint Analysis helps in identifying product features that consumers prefer, discerning the impact of price changes on demand, and estimating the probability of product ac
Nowadays, sales reps who get to close the sale are those sales reps who get to discover the customer’s real problems. With life getting 
more hectic and people always on the rush, customers only prefer to spend more on the phone with sales teams who “gets it.” These are the sales reps who do not only get to discover the customer’s real problem but also get to help them problem-solve in new ways.
Yet, a great number of salespersons miss closing the sale and reaching their quotas. In fact, in 2018,
Business environment has transformed drastically from what it was a century ago. It has become immensely challenging due to competition, disruptive technologies, laws, and globalization. These challenges warrant better performance to address customer needs and to survive—and outpace—intense competition. Consequently, organizations have become complex.
The work that individuals perform in an organization has also shifted from manual labor and clerical jobs to knowledge-based experiential tasks.
Organizations today are spending money on the latest technologies and working hard to solve problems as they arise. Yet, sad to say,
this is simply not enough.
Today, to get on top of today’s fiercely competitive business environment, organizations need to take a strategic move: Develop an Innovation Mindset. What is an Innovation Mindset? What does it take to develop an Innovation Mindset? Often, this can be mindboggling as we get confused as to understanding what is an Innovation Mindset. Devel
No free lunch was ever served quickly. Traditional supply chain cannot offer both low prices and fast delivery.
Online retailing has changed. Before, we see e-commerce companies fulfilling consumer demand from a small number of large-scale warehouses that carried a similar catalog of items. Inventory for low-volume products was maintained in a few locations as possible while maintaining service levels that met customer expectations.
Today, consumers are demanding more than just low prices. Consume
More sophisticated managers explicitly use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to promote cross-functional--not just vertical--alignment. For them, KPIs are the 
means and methods for rigorously defining and measuring the fundamentals that matter.
Why are KPIs important? If used effectively, KPIs can clearly track value creation and deliver value for its stakeholders – customers, employees, and investors.
KPIs are being used by organizations in different ways. Yet, there are clear and measurable diff
As the last decisive step in customer service, a warehouse ensures cost effective distribution. Latest technological innovation has turned warehousing into a competitive advantage. It offers untapped potential for improvement. However, warehousing is a hugely neglected part of global supply chains. There is inconsistency in picking, packing and shipping orders, storing receipts, and managing inventory and logistics operations.
These and the following roadblocks in the way of smooth warehousing
In an era of digital business and rapid technology change, virtually no company can ignore the imperative to innovate. Failing to do so
is an invitation to lose business.
To learn how companies are responding to this mandate, PwC conducted a major global study in 44 countries. The goal was to understand how leaders view innovation and what is being done to reap its rewards. Findings showed that companies are struggling with aligning innovation efforts with business strategy. Companies across a wi
Modern data center networking aims to manage clients with multiple data center workloads. In such a network, servers are the components that provide the necessary services to users (and the programs that run on their behalf).
Responses to API function calls may be the most basic forms of such networking services. Servers can provide applications for users/clients via Web protocols, language platforms, or virtual machines that will provide full desktops to users.

The research and theorizing of this framework was based on the McKinsey 7-S Model, also authored by Peters and Waterman.
The 8 attributes are:
