Most of my client work over the past decade has been centered around helping software companies scale up to become bigger companies. My work helps clients create surges in market demand and then adapt to sell to and service those new customers. (This is the topic of my book Extreme Revenue Growth.). While the concepts to do this are simple, pulling it off in the real world is very complicated.

Are you wondering where you should put your business and marketing focus right now? “ What should I send to my network? How can I be of service? Where should I be putting my attention?” This quote came through my email today from Marketing Week Columnist, Mark Ritson, and I thought it was appropriate: “The world does not need our support or our concern.

The past couple weeks have been a crazy time – millions are getting sick, cities are on the verge of shutdown, and firms are having all non-essential personnel work remotely.

A lot of consultants are hired for their expertise in a certain field and their familiarity with specific subject matters or jargon, but one of the more underrepresented aspects of consulting is building mastery over oneself. Developing self-mastery in consulting is important because self-mastery is the one secret you can hold on to when you’re.

I really didn’t want to read this book. Yet another deathly dry, turgid, tedious book about lean is not what I need right now. My bookshelves are filled with lean books that provide all the enlightenment of a one-watt bulb. So Steady Work sat on my shelf for a few weeks while I looked for pretty much anything else to do—shopping for toilet paper, learning to make sourdough starter, watching Zoom videos on proper handwashing.

Professor Bernd Schmitt of Columbia Business School is credited with creating the concept of Customer Experience Management (CEM), which he defined as : the process of strategically managing a customer’s entire experience with a product or company.

In a previous article, I shared a little history about the Great Depression of the 1930s and explained why the causes of the depression back then would be unlikely to repeat today. However, in the time that I wrote the article and sent it out to you (perhaps a week lag), new economic data has emerged that wasn’t available when I wrote that article. I made the case (that I still stand by) that a collapse of the consumer banking system (in the 1930s) and the investment banking system (in 2008) wou

I’m told there’s a saying on Wall Street that goes, “The trend is your friend.” I’m not a banker nor an asset manager, so I can’t vouch for its validity in that context. However, I think that, in a recession, this concept has a lot of value in terms of managing one’s career or business. Here’s why. Most life, career, and business plans operate on the premise of continuing the underlying status quo.

Calling employees assets, human capital, talent, worker bees, personnel, human resources, laborer, the help, and blue collar is demeaning. It generates a whole aura about how a company values people. Even the word employee carries negative connotations. It can mean average, or a cog in wheel or a commodity or a peon.
