CREATIVE BENEFITS FOR SMALL EMPLOYERS

HOW DO SMALL EMPLOYERS COMPETE WITH COMPANIES LIKE GOOGLE?

Fortune’s recent “Best Companies to Work For” issue could make small employers feel they should just give up trying to attract and retain the best employees. Instead, employers need to be creative in identifying things that give them an edge in their own geographic market area.

Small employers do have an edge to build from. A recent poll of college graduates by Quick Connect showed that savvy students and recent graduates are more interested in smaller companies that will “invest in them and provide growth opportunities”. Small companies are clearly more appealing; with only 3 out of 10 of those participating in the poll saying they would prefer to work for a large company.

ANOTHER QCN BREAKTHROUGH FOR AFRICA BUSINESSES

Sustainable community and people development begins with the locals. The best fine dining or fast foods anywhere that tend to do well do so because they meet the needs of the community. But, community residents act responsibly and reciprocate the gesture when they are part of the creative process, especially when their rewards are tied to performance and support for the projects.  

I'm very happy bring you this latest business strategy because I know that a whole lot of businesses I have meet during my work here in Nigeria and in most part of the world are just doing it wrong; plain and simple! I have spent a lot of time and money researching what works from what doesn’t.  I’m more inclined to write about this new trend in marketing as a result of my understanding of your target market, the economy and your need to satisfy your corporate social responsibility. But above all are the immediate needs of your customers new or old.    

MAKE GOOD MONEY DECISIONS FASTER

How do you know the difference between "roughly right" and "not at all right"? And just how much time can elapse before "fast and roughly right" becomes "precise and slow?" Hours? Days? Months?

A simple, flexible Know-Think-Do framework can enable leaders and their teams to immediately start making these fast and roughly right decisions. To paraphrase Einstein, this framework is "as simple as possible, but not simpler."
