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

Risk management actions are important for all businesses, regardless of their size or segment. 

To understand this, just remember that, whatever the process in your daily life, the risks represent uncertainties regarding the results achieved. It may be the risk that the raw material will run out, that a machine or equipment will stop working, that a tool will fail, that productivity will fall, in short. 

As much as you use accurate data when making your projections, it is impossible to determine w

Today’s C-suite is making a significant investment in new technologies.  Yet, it is failing to achieve full value. Technologies are being deployed in pockets or silos without a Strategy for scaling the Innovation from these technologies across the enterprise. Unable to scale their Innovation, organizations are not realizing the full benefits of their technology investments.

An Innovation Achievement Gap exists. What is the Innovation Achievement Gap? This is the difference between potential and r

The risk management process is inherent in any project. When we develop a plan, we think about what can go wrong and devise ways to minimize problems. Therefore, the process itself needs to be simple and effective to avoid complexity as a risk enhancement factor. 

Although, described in this way, the risk management process may seem difficult to elaborate, it can be easily understood. Therefore, we will explain it focusing on the impact of new technologies on its execution. Thus, we will be able

In today’s digital age, organizations are faced with the changing nature of the demand curve and the element of uncertainty in the supply chain. For operations teams, the challenge and competitive advantage have become: How well do you respond and execute against ongoing uncertainty.

With the world being so unpredictable, chaos is now the new normal. Timetables and priorities have shifted. A supplier fails to deliver. Demands on supply chains are increasing exponentially. A few years ago, supply

Richard Branson, British business and philanthropist once said: “One day, offices will be a thing of the past.”

While organizations still need to travel to reach their physical offices, the rapid changes in the world are requiring businesses to form Virtual Teams. A Virtual Team refers to a group of individuals who work together from different geographic locations and rely on communication technology such as email, voice conferencing services, fax, etc.

Virtual Teams work well for an organization

“The only thing that is constant is Change.” - Heraclitus

An epidemic of change is happening globally--reengineering, restructuring, and revamping! Workplaces seem to be launching one change initiative after another.  Digital Transformation is happening everywhere. Yet, the hard truth is that many change initiatives fail.

Change Management initiatives fail because of the way organizations view change. Often, change is seen as an isolated process. Organizations tend to focus on only one part of the

Companies often know where they want to go when it comes to Strategy Development. Companies want to be more agile, quicker to react, and more effective. They want to deliver great customer experience, take advantage of new technologies to cut costs, improve quality and transparency, and build value.

Yet, while most companies are trying to get better, the results tend to fall short. One-off initiatives in separate units do not deliver big enterprise-wide impact. Improvement methods that were adopt

Lean Management plays a significant role in putting in place processes, capabilities, and tools to improve how businesses operate. But, the Digital Age has increased both the opportunities for businesses who know how to react and the difficulty of getting it right.

Tasks performed by humans are now more complex be it accessing information in multiple formats from multiple sources or responding to changing market and customer dynamics at an ever-increasing speed. As an increasing number of tasks b

Gordon Moore, Intel co-founder, observed that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years.  He projected that this rate of growth would continue for at least another decade.

His observation, termed the “Moore’s Law,” has correctly predicted the pace of innovation for several decades and guided strategic planning and research and development in the semiconductor industry.  Moore’s law is based on observation and projection of historical trends.

In 2015, Gor

What is risk management?  

Risk management is the process of planning, organizing, directing and controlling an organization's human and material resources, in order to minimize or take advantage of the risks and uncertainties about that organization. 

Uncertainties represent risks and opportunities, with the potential to destroy or add value. Enterprise risk management software for banks enables managers to effectively address uncertainties, as well as the risks and opportunities associated with

Science fiction still seems to be about holograms; however, scientists say it will soon become irreplaceable in fields like medicine and astronomy. Holography is a technique for capturing an object's details and restoring its image on a three-dimensional surface by not only measuring the amplitude of light but also its duration. Digital holography's comprehensive growth has recently begun with the introduction of high-quality digital cameras but several remarkable results have already been achie

When talking about running a business, one of the most important points that must be addressed is in relation to business risks. When mistakes and accidents happen, the company can face heavy losses in different avenues such as productivity, finances and, in some cases, its image in the market. 

However, the good news is that most failures can be avoided through knowledge and planning. Thus, measuring, controlling and forecasting are important steps so that work processes are efficient, and the o

For insurance carriers, automation can be a dangerous game as customers demand both a frictionless, automated claims process and access to understanding claims handlers. How do you find the right balance?

Creating a culture that measures productivity objectively is a sensitive matter. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are being employed extensively by organizations across the globe to monitor and track performance.  KPIs provide valuable metadata to improve top-down and bottom-up vertical efficiency.

Analytics-driven firms are aware that KPIs are much more than a tool to evaluate performance.  Utilizing KPIs, they gather valuable insights, create enterprise-wide accountability, and develop a goal-

We easily live in one of the most exciting eras ever. The rapid pace of technological development we have experienced has went beyond anything that used to be possible. If you go back a century, the pace completely changes. Think about it – there would be a new notable technology maybe once a decade. The reason progress was so slow is simple – everything had to be done manually. All the calculations had to be done by hand, all the products had to be made either by hand or measured by hand to ens
